Good sexuality, bad sexuality

aberdeen pointed out that there has been an update in the Great Homophobic Pasta War of 2013: Gay-Friendly Bertolli Makes The Most Of Barilla's Homophobic PR Mess.


(I think the dog might be the only smart one of that group. Why would pasta want to go into sauce, get cooked, be eaten?)

In much, much, much less amusing news, a Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member (Melissa Gorga) has written a book. Love Italian Style: The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage. I'm not going to link to it on Amazon, I do not want to encourage anyone to buy it. (Though, on second thought, the comments are worth reading, so here's a link).

I've never watched any Real Housewives show, and quotes from this book do not change my opinion of the show or the type of people who are in it.

This woman tells men to rape their wives. Her exact words: “Men, I know you think your woman isn’t the type who wants to be taken. But trust me, she is. Every girl wants to get her hair pulled once in a while. If your wife says ‘no,’ turn her around, and rip her clothes off. She wants to be dominated.”

Just reading that disgusts me. The idea that some man might believe that and take it to heart...

The HELL?! O_o

Seriously. How far back do we have to go to lose "no means no"?

Love the advert.

And I am even more glad now that I have never watched Real Housewives!!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Same! Never have, never will.

Is it just me or does that look a bit like the traditional pasta family is telling the other pasta people to go walk the plank...XD

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Haha you're right!

[aberdeen.livejournal.com]

That's not a traditional pasta family. That's a bi-racial pasta family!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Ha! It is!

[ani-mama.livejournal.com]

Gasp! Yellow and orange pasta mixing together, what an outrage! XD

...Seriously, if a woman wants to be dominated she can TELL her partner that, and they can work out a happy kinky consensual domination scenario. With safewords. >:(

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

YES. Women (or men!) should be able to be dominated as much as they darned well please... but it should be done in a way that's consensual!

I was trying to buy pasta yesterday and could not remember which company was the bad one, Bertolli or Barilla. Their names are too similar!

I ended up buying some store brand pasta...Safeway wins this round. XD

I know, I have the same problem! So I tried to remember "red is good, blue is bad"... but then I couldn't remember if I had them reversed. :P
