Sometime back, I think it was the previous BCT thread, someone posted a video about girls choosing between dolls that were white and black and displaying internalized racism that was very sad.

Today I found this article on Madame Noire:
Dr. Lisa Williams Uses Her Positively Perfect Dolls To Redefine Beauty For Children Of Color

It's about a college professor who was approached by Walmart three times and turned them down but after seeing a report by Anderson Cooper and Soledad O'Brien about the same issue above (with the doll choosings), she decided she wanted to make a difference so decided to go for it and is having success. The article didn't link her doll website, but I found it through a Google search for anyone who wants to see some more of the dolls beyond the picture in the article: http://positivelyperfectdolls.com/store/collection?page=1

God fuck Kevin Hart. Dude is not funny at all. I can not figure out how he blew up. I will never figure it out. He's Carlos Mencia level of not funny, yet really popular.

@Retro - What you think of the new gundam show so far?

Fantastic setting, ridiculous names and a masked character whose identity is obvious to everyone.

Yeah this is a Tomino Gundam.

I loved the first two episodes. I really like the art direction and the production values so far are pretty great.

Really excited for it. People seem to think it's slow so far but it's just the right pace for me.

because people can tolerate him in movies.

Can they? Because he is an annoying little shit in everything I've seen him in. I just don't get the appeal of him whatsoever and I'm pretty positive he wouldn't be doing anything if Katt Williams wasn't crazy. But I feel like I've had this discussion before.

It's pure Tomino, but I'm afraid that pure Tomino may bomb hard these days.

The dialog is poor, the editing is bad, and the way the show treats its female characters so far is outright sexist at times. If it wasn't Tomino, I'd safely say it's probably the worse Gundam show opening. But it's Tomino, so you're holding out that hope that it'll get better.

But yeah, I think it's going to Turn-A. It'll turn off most others, but be fondly appreciated by Tomino fans.

Great character and mech designs though.

Scandal is an old seasoned vet with its fuckery. Murder already stretching the limits of its believability and it's only episode 2. Viola has been nothing but mean and incompetent so far, which is somehow a step back from Olivia being talk no jutsu personified.

I gotta say, I'm impressed with just how bold Rhimes is in her writing. Perhaps brazen is a better term. Shit's ridiculous. Olivia showing up buck ass nude wearing nothing but cowboy boots was a solid move, I gotta say.

Wow I take it the show is polarizing. I'm gonna to give it a watch soon myself.

Shonda's shows are ultimately hindered by the fact they air on ABC.

I find him annoying too but ticket sales show that people don't really mind him in movies

He went to Sunrise and said "the 80s are fucking awesome, right?" Man has not changed at all.

I don't hate it. I'm just of the mindset that it's not going to fly far in today's market.

I can agree with that I guess. Show is 80's as fuck.

but I mean fuck today's market imo. I never stopped watching 80's anime so a lot of the stuff people seem to have gripes with I don't even notice.(The editing, the dialog, the casual violence lol)

Truth and it's not like Gundam Build Fighters Try won't lock in those folks.

Just watched the first episode. It's 80s as fuck. Even the fucking sound effects is retro. I like it though. It feels high quality in itself and the direction and editing is cool imo. Pretty much like an old Gundam show

So, journalist attends a Packers party, hears a racial slur, writes an article about it.

A Packers fan sends her a letter about her article. It's magic.

So, has that thing ever happened where you were watching porn with your headphones...

...but for some odd reason your sound card fucked up and was also playing the sound out of your surround sound speakers?


Yeah...

Nope, but I live alone so it wouldn't really matter. Unless you were blasting it or something.

This is a shockingly comprehensive list

I mean you included Battle of Z lol

Fan of the genre. I was actually tryin ta ask what I missed.

I've been considering making a Hunting Action OT, but I'm not sure if there would be enough activity to warrant its existence.

Oh, and to clarify, I have Freedom Unite on PSP as well, and played the Tri Wii demo disc as well as the Wii U and 3DS demos.
