I've said all I really plan to say about this in a friend's journal where the teapot definitely got a bit tempest-y. I assume that it got to be something of a furor because the page actually went live today, or something of the sort. The name had been around for a while, but I never thought they'd actually do it. I mean, FanPro put up elf porn art for April Fools, but you didn't see them rushing out to print a card game on it.

I bring this up, however, because I wanted to comment on one thing that seems to be going unobserved. In the midst of wormen objectified and general offense and defenders/apologists, etc., guess what this weekend is? I'll give you a hint: my kids had an assembly today to commemorate the battle for civil rights, and a man who led that battle and said things that nobody in power wanted to hear, standing up for the rights of the minority against the status quo and dreaming of a day his children would stand as equals with all other children, a world of oppurtunity available and no artifical barriers left between us.

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Superb timing, guys. Way to commemorate how far we've all come. Bravo.
