Knee jerk reaction

Ugh. Brought two books with me on the bus this morning and both of them made me angry only a few pages in.
Yuri Monogatari, a lesbian-themed manga has several different (badly drawn) stories which turned out to be filled with cliches and shameful generalisations.

The Threesome Handbook by Vicki Vantoch managed to make me doubt the rest of the book when I read on page 5 that there had been a three way marriage in the Netherlands.
Dear Vicki, just because Fox News "reported" on that, doesn't make it true. To my knowledge marriage in the Netherlands is and always has been a contract between two people. I would like to have your source for that throw away comment.

I fear it was made to give 'evidence' that three people can live in a commited relationship. As if you need a (legal) paper to prove that and even so, is that the only validation for (enjoying) sex/intimacy? That seems sad and on the same dubious level of acceptance as this video about an experiment on tolerance.

( Gay/Lesbian PDA experiment )

Despite the probably best intentions of the people conducting this experiment, why does it have to specifically mentioned that the actors are in fact gay and in a 'long term, commited relationship with each other' in real life? Has that any bearing on the experiment? Is it relevant? I think not.

Back to the subject of the above mentioned books: I will give them a second chance on the way back home, you may expect a more in depth review later. I just had to get this off my chest as soon as possible;) *break over; back to work for 90 more minutes*

I have Spongebob Squarepants toothpaste \o/

TVnight
Watched the first episode of The BigBang Theorie. I like Sheldon. Series started tonight and will be on every weekday at 20.00. I will continue this experiment.

Had to check out new haircuts season of Grey's Anatomy. Happy to see a lot of beards were gone. Yet again characters changed to fit writers intentions. Do not want. Although I like former-cartoon-beard-Dr. Steamy reverting back to slut-status and whatshername dark-haired-bone-breaker-broad back to being cool, I could watch those two talk all night. I also approve of the new guy; the one with the famous surgeon grandfather and the blam!-blue-eyes - I didn't pay attention to his name, just stared at the pretty. And yes, I liked Dr. Dreamy's new haircut. But I won't stay on the couch for this next week. Rather tired of everyone having slept with everyone else. And there are quite a few people I don't care for. But d-h-b-b-b's girlfriend is adorable.

Penny: I’m a Sagittarius, which probably tells you way more than you need to know.
Sheldon: Yes, it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun’s apparent position relative to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality.

(Oooh, that quote also relates to an additional annoyance about the Threesome Handbook, because there is a whole chapter about finding a good partner by comparing starsigns. Author V.V. keeps losing points, I'm disappointed. I'll give the book one more try tomorrow.)
