Mental disorders such as depression and anxiety are increasingly common. Yet there are too few specialists to offer help to everyone, and negative attitudes to psychological problems and their treatment discourage people from seeking it. As a result, many people never receive help for these problems.
The Oxford Guide to Low Intensity CBT Interventions marks a turning point in the delivery of psychological treatments for people with depression and anxiety. Until recently, the only form of psychological intervention available for patients with depression and anxiety was traditional one-to-one 60 minute session therapy - usually with private practitioners for those patients who could afford it. Now Low Intensity CBT Interventions are starting to revolutionize mental health care by providing cost effective psychological therapies which can reach the vast numbers of people with depression and anxiety who did not previously have access to effective psychological treatment.
The Oxford Guide to Low Intensity CBT Interventions is the first book to provide a comprehensive guide to Low Intensity CBT interventions. It brings together researchers and clinicians from around the world who have led the way in developing evidence-based low intensity CBT treatments. It charts the plethora of new ways that evidence-based low intensity CBT can be delivered: for instance, guided self-help, groups, advice clinics, brief GP interventions, internet-based or book-based treatment and prevention programs, with supported provided by phone, email, internet, sms or face-to-face. These new treatments require new forms of service delivery, new ways of communicating, new forms of training and supervision, and the development of new workforces. They involve changing systems and routine practice, and adapting interventions to particular community contexts.
The Oxford Guide to Low Intensity CBT Interventions is a state-of-the-art handbook, providing low intensity practitioners, supervisors, managers commissioners of services and politicians with a practical, easy-to-read guide - indispensible reading for those who wish to understand and anticipate future directions in health service provision and to broaden access to cost-effective evidence-based psychological therapies.

I'm really enjoying this class a lot, and I feel like I saw immediate improvement in my drawing and anatomical skills in the first day alone. Also, we've been drawing skeletons over contour drawings lately, and I think I reeeeeally like drawing bones, bahaha. Send help.
Now with ridiculous captions!

I work at a very diverse manufacturing plant.
Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Burmese, Indian, Iraqi, Pakistani, Mexican, Finnish, Czechoslovakian, and American are all of the ethnic heralds of which I have come to know personally to some level at least one individual at work.
Several months ago, for no reason I could figure, I felt compelled to ask a close friend if he knew of any Egyptians that worked at our facility. He did not, despite the fact he knows the heritage of 90% of the people there :/
Yesterday, I noticed a shining woman I've noticed previously working in an obscure area. She surprised me a week prior with a random compliment. So there I am @ 8:00 AM thinking how provincial it may be that she might need a ride home after work and I'd be granted a comfortable one-on-one opportunity to talk and get to know her briefly.
Seven hours later, I'm rolling my window down to ask if she needs a ride. Of course, she does. She was forced to stay over (my shift usually extends beyond most by ~15 minutes) and her usual ride did not want to wait. She is right to expect most here in America to mistake her for Hispanic. When I asked if her accent was Israeli, she responded, "No, I'm not Mexican" out of habit and limited (but well spoken) English. And of course, she's Egyptian.
We spent much of the time speaking of the second place on my bucket list from which you herald, OP. First time for me to ever speak to an Egyptian and it was a lovely first-hand account from memory regarding some of the places I hope to one day witness for myself.
Glad to see you giving this thread the dedication it deserves, OP :)

Icy Core of Jupiter
Greetings, Earth humans, and welcome to the future. Your tour guide today will be Icy Core of Jupiter, a band so confident about its futuristic origin that it even wrote a song about the subject ("I'm From the Future"). The most accurate categorization of Icy Core's music would have to be "space rock," as the combination of psychedelic rock and funk with a modern alternative edge sounds unlike anything from this planet, let alone the local music scene. When vocalist/guitarist Jesse Meeker started performing as Icy Core of Jupiter, it was often just him and a few friends jamming on a Mill Avenue street corner. The addition of Derek Leiss on saxophone, "1085" on bass, and Miguel Quigada on drums helped the music develop into its present state, enabling Icy Core to play shows across the western half of the country. One never knows what to expect at an Icy Core of Jupiter show, where wallflowers are uprooted and forced to shake maracas or propel balloons into air with the aid of a parachute, while a frenzy of entranced fans perform myriad hypnotic dance moves. It's an interplanetary jam you won't want to miss.

Competition Laws: Microsoft 7 without IE in Europe
The European Commission ruling is having an affect: Microsoft will market its new operating system in Europe without Internet Explorer.
In his blog, Microsoft lawyer and Vice President Dave Heiner, says the company was "working to fulfill its legal obligations in Europe for Windows 7" and goes on to explain how a pending legal case has raised concerns about the level of competition among browsers in Europe. He writes that Microsoft "must comply with European competition law" and adds " we've decided that instead of including Internet Explorer in Windows 7 in Europe, we will offer it separately."
Manufacturers have been informed of Microsoft's plans in an effort to keep the targeted release date of October 22. As a means of identification, the European version of Windows 7 will have an E added to the title. Manufacturers have also been told to install a browser of their choice so users can begin to surf the web immediately after purchase.
In an interview with the legal platform Groklaw, a member of the European Commission described the move as "a step in the right direction, but far from enough." and the Microsoft attorney already has a guess. Heiner writes further, "Our decision to only offer IE separately from Windows 7 in Europe cannot, of course, preclude the possibility of alternative approaches emerging through Commission processes."
In February 2008 the Commission served Microsoft a record fine of $900 million for breaking European competition rules. The reason was the tight linking of software applications to the operating system, making it difficult for competitors to develop alternatives. In January 2009, after a complaint by the browser company Opera, the European Commission again warned Microsoft its browser was too closely connected to Windows. The complaint was supported by the Free Software Foundation Europe, Google and Mozilla.

The invention is related to a seatbelt retractor for a vehicle, and in particular, to a seatbelt webbing lock preventing apparatus of seatbelt retractor for enabling an inertia mass means to prevent the rotation locking of a lock mechanism followed by the webbing acceleration and deceleration of a seatbelt.
In general, a vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt safety device mounted on a seat to serve the safety of passengers including a driver. The seatbelt safety device includes a retractor for enabling a seatbelt of a strip type for restraining an occupant to rewind on/unwind from a spool and a buckle including a tongue removably inserted thereinto, which is fixed to one end of the seatbelt, in which the retractor protects a driver and passenger from being jumped forward or left out of the seat in the time of an abrupt deceleration or acceleration applied to the vehicle in the event of a collision or the like, and the buckle has the driver and passenger put on or off the seatbelt. In other word, the retractor permits the seatbelt to be withdrawn in a normal state, but on the contrary to inhibit the withdrawing thereof in an abnormal state by restraining the driver or passenger to be kept in an original position.
A typical vehicular seatbelt retractor including a retractor for controlling the winding and unwinding of a seatbelt as described above is disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 1999-56259 corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 6,443,382.
As shown in
A webbing control device 107 is subject to preventing the releasing of the seatbelt responding to the detection of the seatbelt acceleration in an abnormal condition and freely allowing the releasing of the webbing in a normal condition of a vehicle. The webbing control device 107 comprises a locking element 123 positioned on the right foot portion 116, a retainer 127 mounted adjacent the first sprocket 119 with the shaft 121 being passed through its center and including a hook ring 125 for enabling the locking element 123 to be pivoted, and a clutch wheel 135 coupled with the retainer 127 to enable the retainer 127 to be rotated.
The retainer 127 includes a retainer ring 129 formed in a ring shape on the inner circumference thereof, on the inner wall of which a second sprocket is formed in a tooth shape. The clutch wheel 135 includes an inertia mass body 133 having a rectangular shaft supporter mounted at the center.
As shown in
The webbing control portion 107 is supported on the spool shaft 121 of the spool 105 mounted on the fixing frame 103. The locking element 123 is mounted on the right foot portion 116. Then, the retainer 127 is inserted onto the shaft 121 to be mounted adjacent the sprocket 119 with the guide pin being positioned at the apex of the retainer ring 129. The clutch wheel 135 is inserted onto the shaft 121 with the inertia mass body 133 coupled therewith, in which the retainer ring 129 receives the first tooth portion 62 and the inertia mass body 133, and the latches of wings 131 is subject to be placed adjacent the second sprocket on the inner circumference of the retainer ring 129. This assembly configuration is shown in
A vehicle sensor portion 111 comprises a housing 143 mounted on the lower portion of the left foot portion 116, a pawl lever 145 including an operating lever with a permanent magnet being positioned at the center to be engaged with the second tooth portion 137 of the clutch wheel 135 and a standing weight 147 constituted as a gravity mass and including a second permanent magnet of a ring type to generate a repelling force with respect to the first permanent magnet. The standing weight 147 is mounted in the housing 143 with the second permanent magnet being positioned against the first permanent magnet. Therefore, after assembling the pawl lever 145 in the housing 143, the pawl lever 145 is subject to be in position against the second permanent magnet. In an abnormal of the vehicle, as the stand weight 147 is slanted in any direction, the pawl lever 145 is moved upward due to the repelling force generated between the first and second permanents magnet. At the same time, the operating lever of the pawl lever 145 is operated in an inclined direction of the fixing frame 103 to be engaged with the tooth portion 137 of the clutch wheel 135. And, the webbing control portion 107 and the vehicle sensor portion 111 as described above are finished with being assembled in a cover 153.
A winding spring portion 109 comprises a spring 139 mounted on the opposite side of the webbing sensor portion 111 to be biased in the direction that the spool 105 winds the webbing and a cover 141 receiving the spring 139 and coupled with one end portion of the spool 105.
Therefore, the webbing control portion 107 detects the acceleration of the webbing. As shown in
Therefore, the webbing control device 100 adapted to a general vehicle seatbelt retractor detects the abrupt acceleration or deceleration of the webbing at the time of rewinding or winding the seatbelt from the retractor to perform the webbing of the seatbelt. But, this abrupt webbing may cause a temporary or instant stop error operating of the webbing against a releasing or pulling direction A of the seatbelt. At that time, it accompanies with troublesome that the seatbelt is readjusted in order to remove this error operating.
Furthermore, if the seatbelt is subject to passing through a height adjustment at a predetermined position of a pillar in the vehicle, the height adjustment may be escaped from its original position mounted due to the greater force instantly applied thereto according to the webbing acceleration or deceleration of the seatbelt, thereby causing an error in the releasing or pulling of the seatbelt.
Another typical example of a conventional technology is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,499,554 entitled "Seat Belt Retractor". The patent '554 discloses a webbing control portion 210 comprising a lock actuating mechanism 206 that is corresponded to the webbing control portion 105 as described above.
As shown in
The webbing control portion 210 including a webbing sensing and lock actuating mechanisms for detecting the releasing acceleration of the seatbelt to stop the rotating of the spool will be described as follows:
The locking portion 205 comprises a locking base 219, the front surface of which is a disc form provided with a through hole axially piecing the center thereof. The locking base 219 includes a hole for rotatably supporting a locking pawl 220 and a threaded shaft portion projected from one side thereof to be rotated with the spool 204 by a torque transmitted from the spool 204. The locking portion 205 further comprises a torsion bar 226 and a cylindrical stop 227 screwed onto the threaded shaft portion of the locking base 219. The torsion bar 226 comprises a first torque transmitting portion provided on the side of a lock gear 221 and having a regular hexagonal shape in a cross section to be fitted into the hole of regular hexagonal cross section formed on the locking base 219 so as not to rotate with respect to the locking base 219, a flange portion provided on the end of the first torque transmitting portion 226 b, and a second torque transmitting portion with a regular hexagonal cross sectional shape provided on the other end of the torsion bar 226 and including a first shaft portion concentrically extended therefrom. The cylindrical stopper 227 is engaged with the locking base 219 to be rotated with the seatbelt spool 204 as an integral unit and axially movable with respect to the seatbelt spool 204.
The lock actuating mechanism 206 comprises a lock gear 221 having a number of teeth formed on the outer periphery thereof, a flywheel 222 pivotally mounted on a supporting shaft of the lock gear 221 and including a stop claw 222 b formed on the tip thereof, a flywheel compressing spring 223 compressively mounted between the lock gear 221 and the flywheel 222, a first retainer 224 removably fixed on the side wall of the frame 202, and a pawl spring 225 compressively mounted between the locking base 219 and the lock gear 221.
In addition to the webbing control portion 210, the seatbelt retractor 201 comprises a frame 202, a reel or shaft 204 for winding the seatbelt 203, a speed reduction detecting means 208 for detecting the speed reduction of the vehicle, a motor 212 for generating a rotational torque, a power transmission gear mechanism 211 for transmitting a rotational torque of the motor 212, a speed reducing mechanism 212 including at least one planetary gear and idle gear and a carrier rotatably supporting these planetary and idle gears to reduce the speed of a rotational torque of the motor 212 transmitted from the power transmission gear mechanism 211 and transmitting it to the spool 204, a power transmission path switching mechanism 213 for selectively switching to one of the state in which a rotational torque of the motor 212 is transmitted to the spool 204 and the state in which the rotation of the motor 212 is not transmitted to the spool 204, and a spring portion 214 for urging the spool 204 in the winding direction of the seat belt 203. The spring portion 214 comprises a spring cover 255 mounted to the outer side thereof receiving a return spring 254, in which a bush 253 is rotatably supported within the supporting hole of the spring portion 214 and supports the first shaft portion of the torsion bar 226, an internal gear 244 having a tooth portion engaged with the planetary gears and idle gears being properly arranged in an inner space thereof, a speed reduction gear 245 positioned in the inner space thereof to be engaged with the power transmission gear mechanism 211 and a sun gear 43 engaged with the internal speed reduction gear of the speed reduction gear 245, the detailed description of which will be omitted because of having not the direct relation with the invention.
The seatbelt retractor 201 as described above is operated as follows. First, when the seat belt is unwound for withdrawal at the normal speed, the spool 204 rotates in the clockwise direction CW. As shown in
On the contrary, when the vehicle is abruptly stopped at the state of a passenger wearing the seatbelt 203, the seatbelt 203 tends to be drawn out at a rapid speed by the forward inertia of the passenger. At the same time, since the lock gear 221 is subject to accelerate the rotation in the clockwise direction CW, the flywheel 222, which is constituted as inertia mass freely and rotatably mounted in the lock gear 221, rotates in a counter clockwise CCW compressing the compress spring 223 by its inertia force as shown in
On the other hand, the flywheel 222 detects the acceleration of the webbing, which is a good function for preventing the withdrawal of the seatbelt 203 at the time of the sudden stop of the vehicle, but it is often used to temporally prevent the releasing of the seatbelt unnecessarily at the state that a webbing speed over a predetermined level of acceleration is not detected. It requires for readjusting the speed of the webbing by adjusting the height adjustment, etc.
On the contrary, at the time of terminating the withdrawal of the seatbelt 203, as a bad function of the retractor the temporary seatbelt stopping happens. That is why the flywheel 222 relatively rotates in a counter clockwise direction CCW with its inertia force followed by the speed reduction occurred at the lock gear 221 at that time, so that the stop claw 22 b is engaged with the inner tooth 224 e of the first retainer 224. It happens a problem in making inconvenient to the use of the seatbelt.
As shown in
In order to resolve these and those problems and disadvantages, an object of the invention is to provide a webbing lock preventing apparatus of a seatbelt retractor comprising a webbing control portion for enabling an inertia mass means to prevent the rotation locking of a locking actuation mechanism according to the acceleration and decelerations at the time of withdrawing a seatbelt from a retractor or rewinding it therein.
The other object of the invention is to provide a webbing lock preventing apparatus of a seatbelt retractor comprising an elastic means such as a friction spring mounted in a lock gear to allow an inertia mass means to be relatively rotated only at the time of performing a good function to abruptly stop the webbing withdrawal at a sudden breaking of a vehicle and on the contrary to restrain the inertia rotation of an inertia mass means when causing a bad function to temporally stop a seatbelt at around a time of terminating rewinding the seatbelt into a retractor, thereby improving its use convenience without spoiling the inherent safety of the retractor.
In order to accomplish these objects, according to the invention a webbing lock preventing apparatus of a seatbelt retractor comprises a webbing control portion. In detail, the webbing lock preventing apparatus comprises the webbing control portion which includes a locking portion provided with a torsion bar mechanism for limiting a force applied to a seatbelt and a locking actuation mechanism for operating the locking portion; and a flywheel rotating control portion for controlling the rotation of the flywheel at below a certain value of an acceleration or deceleration detected according to the withdrawal and rewinding of the seatbelt and preventing the rotation of a spool, thereby preventing the stopping of the withdrawing and rewinding of the seatbelt.
The webbing lock preventing apparatus comprises a webbing control portion including a locking portion provided with a locking base having a front portion constituted as a disk and a pawl; and a locking actuation mechanism provided with a lock gear having a plurality of teeth formed on the outer circumference thereof, a flywheel rotatably pivoted on the supporting shaft of the lock gear, a flywheel compressive spring compressively mounted between the lock gear and the flywheel, a retainer removably mounted on the wall portion of a frame to receive the lock gear and the flywheel, and a pawl spring compressively mounted between the locking base and the lock gear; and a flywheel rotation control portion including a friction spring such as an elastic means for preventing the vibration of the flywheel by the inertia force of the flywheel and supporting the flywheel to be placed in its original position, in which the locking portion further included a torsion bar mechanism.
The invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
The invention refers to a webbing lock preventing apparatus adapted to a seatbelt retractor disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,449,554 as one of embodiment according to its principal thereof, but can be applied to a vehicular seatbelt retractor disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,443,383. Herein, it is noted that the description of a spring portion 5, a seatbelt 3, a spool 4 for winding the seatbelt and a power generating portion assembled together with them will be omitted for avoiding the overlapping of their explanation.
As shown in
The locking portion 8 is provided with a locking base 11 having a front portion constituted as a disk. The locking base 11 includes a threaded shaft portion 11 a projected from the one side thereof to be connected with a spool 4 and rotated by a torque transferred therefrom as describe below in detail, a boss 11 b projected in a certain height from the center thereof, a lock plate 13 formed to mount the pawl 15 onto the locking base 11 and prevent the removal of the pawl 15 and a hole (not shown) formed to pivotally support the pawl 15, into which a pin 15 a is fitted. The locking portion 8 further comprises a torsion bar mechanism 7 which includes a bar portion coupled into the spool 4, a first transferring portion 7 b provided with a gear portion formed in a certain width on the circumference of one end thereof and engaged into the through-hole of the locking base 11 and a second torque transferring portion 7 c provided with another gear portion formed in a certain width on the circumference of the other end thereof to get the bar portion 7 a to function as the center shaft of the spool 4.
The locking actuation mechanism 9 includes a lock gear 21 having a plurality of teeth formed on the outer circumference thereof, a flywheel 22 rotatably pivoted on the supporting shaft of the lock gear 21, a flywheel compressive spring 23 compressively mounted between the lock gear 21 and the flywheel 22, and a pawl spring 25 compressively mounted between the locking base 11 and the lock gear 21. The lock gear 21 includes a hub 31 projected in a certain height from the center thereof and having a through-hole pierced to allow the boss 11 b of the lock gear 11 to be fitted thereinto. The flywheel 22 includes a head portion 39 formed at the upper portion thereof as an inertia mass and a latch 22 b formed at the lower portion thereof to restrain the further rotation of the spool at the time of the abrupt acceleration or deceleration of the webbing. The flywheel 22 is mounted adjacent the hub 31 to be vibrated like a pendulum.
The webbing lock preventing apparatus 1 further comprises a flywheel rotation control portion 36 that includes a friction spring 33 such as a wire spring or leaf spring, etc. as an elastic means for preventing the vibration of the flywheel 22 by the inertia force of the flywheel 22 and supporting the flywheel 22 to be placed in its original position, a hanging projector 41 projected from one surface of the lock gear 21 to support one end of the friction spring 33 and a stop plug 34 engaged with the boss 11 b projected from the hub 31 of the lock gear 21 to enable the operating control of the flywheel 22.
As shown in
On the other hand, as shown in
Accordingly, the flywheel control portion including the friction spring 33 enables the lock gear 21 to be normally operated even at the moment that the seatbelt 3 is abruptly withdrawn due to the sudden breaking of the vehicle.
In other words, as shown in a dotted line A in
Thereafter, as the rotating acceleration of the lock gear 21 is released, the flywheel 22 rotates in a clockwise direction CW responsive to the repelling force of the spring 23 faced to the head portion 39, so that the latch 22 b is released from the inner tooth portion 24 e. At that time, as shown in a dotted line A in
On the contrary, the spool 4 rotates at a reduced speed at around the time of terminating the rewinding of the seatbelt 3 in a counter clockwise direction CCW. Then, the lock gear 21 also rotates at the reduced speed in a counter clockwise direction CCW. Following with it, the flywheel 22 has a tendency to rotate in a counter clockwise direction CCW by its inertia force, but its rotation is prevented with the head portion 39 hanging on the pressing portion 37, as shown in a dotted line B in
Acting Effect
As described above, according to the invention a seatbelt webbing lock preventing apparatus prevents a flywheel from being the rotation locking of a locking actuation mechanism according to the acceleration or deceleration of the webbing caused at the time of withdrawing the seatbelt from a retractor or rewinding it thereinto. Especially, the flywheel is allowed to rotate by its inertia force only at the time of performing its good function of stopping the withdrawing of the seatbelt at a sudden braking of a vehicle, and on the contrary restricted to stop its inertia rotation at the time that a bad function causing the webbing stopping of the seatbelt approaching a time point of terminating the rewinding of the seatbelt. Therefore, it is known that the invention enhances the use convenience with the safety of a seatbelt retractor being kept in an inherent original state.

On September 27, 1835—178 years ago today--Lt. Francisco de Castañeda of the Mexican Army was sent to Gonzalez to retrieve a cannon lent to the citizens as a defense against Indians. The mission led to a confrontation on Oct. 2, 1835 in which the Texians pointed to the gun and told the soldiers, "There it is—come and take it." The resulting battle of Gonzalez over what came to be known as the "Come and Take It" cannon marked the clear break between American colonists and the Mexican government.

Celtics coach Doc Rivers gave his son, Austin, a ringing endorsement.A quick diversion from the Game 6 chatter as we drop a quick note on rapidly approaching 2012 NBA Draft. During a national conference call Wednesday afternoon, Celtics coach Doc Rivers was asked about the on-court personality of his son, Austin, a projected first-round pick in this year's draft, and how it compared to the elder Rivers.
"I don't think it's much different. I think he's a driven, determined player," he said. "I think to coach him, you would love that in him. Every coach that had him has loved that. He just wants to win. He gets frustrated at times, just like I did as a player, when things aren't going right, team-wise. But he's as competitive of a player as you'll ever get.
"I've actually -- in a crazy way -- I've actually heard people knock that, which blows my mind. Why would you ever knock a guy that's competitive? I even heard he's cocky. I've yet to meet the uncocky Dwyane Wade or the uncocky LeBron (James) or the uncocky Ray (Allen) or the uncocky Paul (Pierce). Those are the things that blow my mind, when I hear negatives about him. Other than that, he's a competitive guy. He wants to win, he wants to be the best. That's what you want."
In Chad Ford's Mock Draft, Version 6.0, he projects Boston to snag St. John's SF Moe Harkless and St. Bonaventure PF Andrew Nicholson at Nos. 21 and 22. Rivers is projected to the Minnesota Timberwolves at No. 18 (which would seemingly leave him in play if the Celtics were willing to bundle their two first-round picks to move up).

Let's Speculate Not-So-Wildly About the Remaining Three "Most Fascinating People" on Baba Wawa's Annual List
By Courtney Enlow | Celebrities Are Better than You | November 20, 2012 | Comments ()
UGH, THAT FUCKING GUY. Even if I didn't loathe his body of work, look at that face. I never want to stop punching it. It is as though it was systematically designed for netherworldian purposes of evil to make me want to tenderize it repeatedly with my fists like it's a tough sirloin, and because he looks like a giant, terrible baby, I feel kind of guilty about it, because that's exactly what the devil wants and the greatest lie he ever told was convincing us he wasn't a "Family Guy" fan.
Barbara Walters has released seven tenths of her "Most Fascinating" list, her annual laughably attempted jaunt into with-it-ness that always flails tragically like a fat swan with a crooked wing. This year is most likely no different. I've bolded the eyebrow-cockingest ones for your convenience.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Family Guy creator and 2013 Oscar host Seth MacFarlane
Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L. James
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas
Ben Affleck
One Direction
The unbolded ones, totes. Thumbs up. Good on you. The bolded ones? Yeeeahhh. Let's look more closely.
Seth MacFarlane. Dude had a good year with Ted. Some people liked it. Some people like lots of things. That's fine. Whatever. It doesn't change the fact that he is the one trickiest pony in Hollywood and his big bad way to get back at Matt and Trey for that "South Park" episode was to make an anal sex joke in a DVD commentary, and then totally miss the point of their whole Muhammad thing in the dumbest possible way because he's dumb. But, whatever. I'm not bitter.
E.L. James. Sigh. I am sick of the way that criticism about this book has somehow morphed into derisively calling it mommy porn, because if a middle aged woman wants to buzz one out while reading about Patrick Bateman's inbred basement brother with a set of anal beads, so be it. Whatever gets you there. My problem is the same problem I have with Twilight: the national obsession with terrible fucking writing interspersed with a cursory at best and hungrily timid notion of sex. Jesus god. If you can't say ass or vagina, you do not get to write about stuff being stuck up in them.
One Direction. I'm going to pretend for a moment like that "Beautiful" song isn't on my workout mix and focus more on the fact that you could line up every single current boy band and I would not be able to tell you what band any of them belong to, or, in fact, name a single current boy band besides One Direction. And that makes me feel good about myself. In related news, THE FUCKING BACKSTREET BOYS HAVE A NEW CHRISTMAS SONG, so that's what I'll be doing for the next six weeks if you need me.
So, that's seven. Who are the other three?
- Paula Broadwell
- Nate Silver
- Honey Boo Boo
- Zachary Quinto's nipple lamp on "American Horror Story"
- Honey Boo Boo's mom
- Kalinda's vagina ice cream
- Elmo. Sadface.
- Gyp Rossetti and his love for erotic asphyxiation
- Lindsay Lohan's pink bag
- Honey Boo Boo's gay pet pig
- Donald Trump's named written in with crayon in a suspiciously Donald Trumpy handwriting
- Chick-Fil-A's nuggets and sauce in an unprecedented sit-down where they discuss both how the last year has affected them and how it affects their same-sex dipping romance with one another.
- This sad Twinkie
- Probably another fucking Kardashian. Probably the mom one. Gross.
Your turn. Who do you think it will be?
