something bad ... hopefully redeemed by something good

The Prussian Blue story that's been circulating today is really one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a long, long time. I checked out their Web site but could only stomach so much before I had to close the link - it made me feel sick to my stomach that these two pre-teen girls are already spewing the gospel of hate at such a young age. Sadly, as evidenced by all the links today and even this blog post, the attention will probably only garner them more support among certain crowds.

And strange as this may sound, I'm a bit pissed at all the Olsen Twin comparions (i.e., from Salon: "Mary-Hate & Ashley?" etc...). Say what you will about the Olsens but they've done nothing to deserve the association.

Now, on to something that made me much happier today - watch this video of two guys in their dorm room singing a Backstreet Boys song - if you don't smile, then you're made of stone. And no, it's not about laughing at them - it's about here are two people who are obviously totally into this and it's just kind of sweet. I did laugh - but only because it reminds me of me when I was 13. Only I was singing into a mirror, not a Web cam and the music was Madonna (first album, natch).....Although, what is up with the guy in the background?
