Iranian governement officials are having serious ants in the pants issues about toys and games that are western imports. They argue against the perceived dangers of U.S.-inspired culture and consumerism, calling it "Westoxication."
"The appearance of personalities such as Barbie, Batman, Spiderman and Harry Potter and ... computer games and movies are all a danger warning to the officials in the cultural arena."
One official goes on to claim:
"The unrestrained entry of this sort of imported toys ... will bring destructive cultural and social consequences in their wake."
So the next time you are playing with your Batman and Barbie dolls, make sure you are not also giving in the imperialistic wantonness of the West.
Best way to get her to say "yes".

I have decided that celebrities should not be allowed to stay celebs over the age of 50 if they are still conceited. Is there anyone more full of themselves than Cher? Her interview with Oprah (who I've got my own issues with, believe me) Cher starts talking about how its so "hard to be Cher" in the frikin 3rd person! Get over yourself, Mermaids was like 20 years ago.
I know this is from years ago already, but I still have a problem with Gwenyth Paltrow naming her kid Apple. APPLE. APPLE. Yes, Apple.
Other names on her list were "Punkin" and "kumquat"
That's all for today. Leave on.

What bothers me is that the incomparable Turei Zahav (the Taz) has an eineklach named Apple (even though Gwyneth Paltrow isn't jewish as her mom is hollywood actress Blythe Danner, AKA that girl from the movie 1776 that we watched in Ms. Johnson's class. Oooh Yeah)
Also, whats wrong with Oprah?
