jeez what a day to blog something
there are so many things one can talk about
such as it being allllmost warm today, enough to wear just a shirt
and now its freezing and expected to snowish tonight.
but besides the weather, just look at whats in the news
you got a black princess now. ya, disney created a black princess...
lame!
and whats worse, she's the "frog princess"
o jeez, disney. its obvious you're just trying to appeal to a wider market. but the "frog princess"??
and worse still, its set in NEW ORLEANS!!
if it isn't one stereotype its another.
chocolate city indeed.. and you can thank their mayor for that metaphor. jeebiz
wasn't nala good enough?
fairy tales are all about ye olde european feudalism. you know, where they actually came up with knights fighting dragons to save the princess in the castle. these are european tales so ya all the protagonists are white.
what the hell kinda princess is from new orleans? princess of mardi gras?
neeuop... not buyin it. you'll have to think of a different black princess, disney. one that might be from o i dunno.. africa!? i might even go for some mulato princess from brazil or something. you know, where africans actually colonized (instead of being forced into slavery)
but you won't find a princess, white or black or red or whatever, in the states.
but i guess the big picture is that every little girl wants to be a princess and now little black girls will have a role model. they won't have to take a sharpie to thier little mermaid dolls now.
black barbie never made it onto the big screen as far as i know, so this is disney's big chance to reel in a new audience.
but in other news, there's a $1000 pizza available in new york.
and no, it doesn't fill up central park with its girth
its actually much smaller than a normal pizza (or what dominos would call a "medium")
and its got all kinds of crap i don't want on it:
caviar, crème fraiche, lobster... its basically a seaweed special
its ugly it looks gross it won't fill you up and each bite costs you $50
then you can walk down the street a little and eat ice cream as serendipity for $1000 (no lie)
next up: the $10000 hamburger made out of processed and mechanically separated $20 bills and prepared by trained yaks
can't wait for the next harry potter movie
