Pick N Mix – Week Starting 3 August 2009
- Try not to think of this as me starting the post off with a downer, more that I’m starting if off with an important piece of writing. Poppy reminds us all that rape jokes aren’t funny.
- Comic Con looks like it really went off this year. Here’s 11 pages worth of costumes.
- Spotters guide to the undead.
- One woman’s story about how her hairstylist saved her life, she lost her life insurance, her life fell apart around her, and how she’s still living and fighting. A big reminder that America’s health care system is NOT ok.
- I can’t believe it’s not butter!
- David Thorne, you may know him as the guy that drew that spider picture. Well, now he’s confusing his landlord.
- First refresh your memory with this photo of Scarlet Johansen, Keira Knightley, and Tom Ford on the cover of Vanity Fair March 2006. Then take a look at this other version. I love these guys!
- Some random pretty pictures for your viewing pleasure.
- Amanda and her cousin Amy.
- Sometimes when people take parts of The Bible literally the only way you can get through to them is through tongue in cheek humour. Unfortunately most of those people are too dumb to get it.
- An embroidered back.
- When internet memes cross over to real life it can break up marriages.
- Bluntcard, a website dedicated to ecards that are blunt. Awesome!
Japanese TV – Ron (Rupert Grint)
I Love You, Man – Paul Rudd & Jason Segel Interview [hilarious!]

I thought Poppy’s post was great, too. Thanks for linking to it.

that embroidered tattoo is amazing!! and i LOVED the religious one,, i was giggling like crazy!
Aw thank you, it’s an honour to be included in your Pick n Mix (which I love, by the way!)
Also I need to take a photo of it, but around the corner from my house there’s a church with a billboard that says, “2009 years ago Jesus died to save YOU!”
Pick n Mix is my favourite section on your blog! great links :)
Can I just ask though, from where was the rape joke post?
Thanks vali.
I hope you’ll understand when I say that I’m not going to link to the rape joke post. The blogger is generally really lovely and wasn’t trying to be malicious. She’s one a lot of us read so it probably wouldn’t be too hard to find.
Oh that kitty pic melts me….
Love the idea of an “embroidered” tattoo!
Americas health system is disgusting. They are a very wealthy country, and yet their government doesn’t seem to think their people have a right to accessable health care? Tut tut. I feel very lucky to live in Australia. Health shouldn’t be some kind of privelege offered only to those with money. It’s a basic human right! Sigh. Hopefully president Obama will bring about some much needed reforms.
I left a very long and convoluted comment on Poppys post ! It really got me thinking.
Thanks for the link. I’m honoured.
Haha, you’re welcome! I love Zombie Jesus jokes.
That japanese girl was adorable hahahaha…
lol, i watched that japanese tv clip when it was live on japanese tv (i get streaming over the web) and that girl was so cute. i wish they did a better job of translating it for non-english speaking folk, because that girl was SUCH a fan and she said some pretty delightful things.
Hey Gilda, thanks for stopping by!
I wish they did a better job of it too, you could see how excited she was!
