Umm sorry. I was so busy studying up for my Road Rules/Real World Challenge of the Seasons Fantasy Team that I forgot to post. I know we're all supposed to be getting back to normal, but do we really have to go that far?

As for my nominee for the "Bay Guardian Bonehead Column of the Week" I was once again gonna go with the cover story, the big story about our society being awash with cuteness. Often's the time I'm downloading bestiality porn from my computer and listening to Slipknot that I find myself saying "gosh, there's too much cuteness in this world." I'm not gonna do it, however, because over the weekend I saw some girl at a bar wearing the equivalent of a stuffed animal as a hat. That's just too annoying. So, I'm gonna let it slide, despite the claim of the author that if it weren't for Hello Kitty, we'd be a much more progressive society and would never let W. declare war on a bunch of people who attacked us.

So, instead, I'm gonna go with a small music column by Lynn Rapoport for her ultraly p.c. criticism of Spin's "Top 50 Greatest Bands of All Time" list. The problem, she writes, is that there's only five women represented on the list. Which is 10% of the bands, and isn't bad and pretty fair considering that most bands are made up of men (sorry, but it's true). But, of course, it's wrong to have a list made up predominately male musicians because women rock too (they do- go see the Donnas if you don't believe me) and so therefore, the list is sexist and only exists at is because Spin's audience is mainly male. Besides it being a ridiculous and pc knee jerk article, the article completely misses the obvious fault of the list, that being the Stones only the 9th best band of all-time and the Who being only 48th (I think it's 48- it's something ridiculously low). There's no fucking way Kraftwerk is better than the Who. We're talking about the band that was at one point the loudest fucking band in history. We're talking about the first band to ever smash their instruments. We're talking about a band that used feedback during their solos. No German techno-band could ever, ever, ever in a millione years even imagining rocking like that.

That's the outrage.
