this guy made this youtube in his free time, spending about $500. Hollywood came knocking and has offered him $1,000,000 and a $30 million dollar budget to turn it into a feature length film. i think they're going to call it district 10.

suck on that, midge.

between death panels trying to get rid of a few pesky elderlies, and the stupak amendment trying to revive the 'vintage' practice of coat hanger abortions, you might think the healthcare debate was the biggest thorn in the side of conservative and liberals alike. but you would be wrong. it's actually the sun-maid raisin girl.

icydak, sun-maid gave their nearly one hundred year old, red bonnet wearing grape picker a makeover, and people are pissed off :

"naturally, the revamped look hasn't gone unnoticed, rankling both ends of the political spectrum. the blog for conservative magazine the weekly standard noted that the new sun-maid girl looks 'as if julia roberts decided to don a red bonnet and start picking grapes,' while the feminist website jezebel.com remarked that it looks as if she's had 'some implants.'"

sun-maid president barry kriebel defended what he saw as a reasonable modernization, saying "you're not going to see her dancing or kicking up her heels out in the vineyard, but have her do what is appropriate for her to do, based on her history but also being a contemporary person living in the 21st century.'' ...wearing a bonnet.

It get's more ridiculous:

"additionally, there's been talk that the new Sun-Maid girl might be given a name and featured in future advertisements doing some of the things modern women typically do, like going to the gym, shopping at the market, and speaking multiple languages..."

hmm speaking in multiple languages? that makes me suspicious. if you ask me, she's starting to look a little...how can i put this lightly...mexicany. and i think someone should alert lou dobbs. omg, so ToPiCaL!!!
