...this country needs highlights...

i) Francine Pelletier, formerly of fifth estate, has made a mini-series about sex, but a unique one. "It's all been done and very badly! All the cliches - ", she says.

Yes. Clearly that is why she titled her miniseries "Sex, Truth and Videotape". To be original, and avoid cliche.

ii) Having just watched The Stepford Wives, I sit my computer a little annoyed, a little depressed, but with massive love as always for Bette Midler. I really enjoyed the movie until the end, where we find that a woman is behind all the madness in Stepford. A woman spurned, who then fell apart and converted strong, independent and go-get-em women into blond bimbo sex slaves in order to keep their lilly-livered men.

First of all: What are you doing falling apart because your husband left you? Get your priorities in order, honestly.

Second of all: A man who wants a mindless drone is not a man worth having. Who wants insecurity and manufactured masculinity?

iii) Jesus Walks, by Kanye West. Very enjoyable.
