Los Linky Links: WTF Edition

by Sara Ost on July 28th, 2007

Oh, wait…that’s every edition.

The Trouble with Unisex Toilets

In a high school history class many moons ago, the term project was to stage a series of controversial constitutional debates (the military draft, abortion, you get it). Stellar luck that is mine, I was given the assignment of arguing against the Equal Rights Amendment. Like any proper slacker I waited until the night before to research. Fortunately, the arguments against the ERA were so simplistic, it was very easy to prepare my case: a constitutional amendment granting equal rights to women would mean - dear Jesus - unisex bathrooms. You’d be surprised how easy it is to deliver an impassioned five-minute persuasive speech about the horror that would be a real life Ally McBeal episode. (Although, sadly, I cannot claim originality, for the Great Toilet Problem was the actual “argument” used by the victorious opponents of the ERA.) I am relieved to see - in photographic proof - that I was totally right. Equal rights would be awful.

The Worst Album Covers, Ever

A pictorial guide to a variety of popular mental health disorders, including latent homosexuality, pathological delusion (my favorite), and most notably, 70s hair. Evidently, 70s hair is back in a big way among the Linkin Park set. Learn from history, friends, or we are clearly doomed to repeat it. If you think these pictures are fruity, peep the rest of them.

Quickie: I won’t be posting on Fridays here at the ‘bolt. But I will be delivering fresh health, mind, and body delights every Saturday along with the usual Monday-Thursday news fixes and original content. You can always feel free to email me with requests, tips, ideas, kudos and outrage and I’ll do my best to answer you, stat. For the record, I find it annoying when bloggers update their readers with the Me Report (”Sorry for not posting”, “My cat threw up and it totally stressed me out”, “The server was down, like, all day!”). This will be the first and last update, barring any information in which you would actually be interested. You’re welcome.
