. . .s h h h.: Interesting Fact About 千と千尋の神隠し

I’ve noticed that several of my followers are Miyazaki fans, so I thought I share this little tidbit of information with you about Spirited Away.

I always wondered why the symbol “ゆ” (said “yu”) was on the door to the bath house. I asked my Japanese teacher, and he wasn’t too sure so I did a…


And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I suggest each person to take things read or seen in translation with a more discerning eye. Like certain religious texts for example.

Counterprotest of the Day: Comedy’s Lovable Queen of Mean Lisa Lampanelli made good on her promise to donate $1,000 to the Gay Men’s Health Crisis for every Westboro Baptist Church member who showed up to protest her recent stand-up show in Topeka, taking to Twitter after the show to say “Thanks to these a-holes, $44,000 will be donated to the GMHC!!!”

She later bumped it up by $6k, tweeting “WBC inbreds counted 48 protesters, so I won’t quibble. I’ll make it an even $50,000!!!”

Best part? The donation will be made in the hate group’s name. Thanks WBC!

effyeaharthistory: Goldfish (To My Critics), Gustav Klimt (Austrian), 1901-2, oil and gold on canvas, 181 x 66.5 cm, Swiss Institute for Art Research, Zurich In 1894, Gustav Klimt was commissioned by the government to paint the ceiling of the great hall in the University of Vienna. The first of three paintings (all of which were destroyed by retreating Nazi troops in 1945), Philosophy, was presented to officials in 1900. It was immediately deemed pornographic, as were the subsequent two paintings (Medicine and Jurisprudence). None of the paintings were accepted by the university, and Klimt refused to ever take a government commission again. To demonstrate all the fucks he gave, after critics’ reactions to Philosophy, Klimt produced the above painting and carried on with the Vienna Secession.

This sfm. I’ll be the first to admit how horrendous the writing on Glee can be, but some of the arguments thrown around like it is glamorizing homosexuality are just silly.
