One is Coos Bay, which has large billboards everywhere and the Other is Shilshul beach, also on billboards. To their eyes, these are big boards that say, "Come to VAGINA bay for a great time" and "Visit DIARRHEA beach with the family" I still recall fondly the first day they arrived to start a fresh life in America....we also had to explain what Tofu was (tiny sea creatures quished into brick form) and why mostly the men were so concerned with weapondry. (The women would take the government into their own hands) I am proud to say that even to this day we are a font of information, even at distance, for their American education. And they have returned the favor, giving me the kind nickname of Atzbanite, which I found out later meant 'pre-menstral, or bitchy'. Not to be confused with the Yiddish 'Choler'ia', as in "If you can see my t-shirt my Choler'ia fell of the bike" In the Seattle area there are two places that really bother Israelis visiting, or worse, living there.

It was Whitters' comment that did it for me. The *names*, in and of themselves, aren't bothersome. OTOH, Hooter's explicitly markets itself as a ha-ha, let's-look-at-titties! kind of place. So it isn't the name, but the attitude that's offensive. Whereas the Pink Taco doesn't make a big deal about the meaning of the name. Yes, the waitresses wear short-shorts, but the vibe is really more Bad Attitude than Leer At Chicks, more punk rock than frat rock. Of course, if the chain starts to expand and to have billboards with some woman's ass up there and the name "Pink Taco" scrawled across a pair of shorts that's climbing into her crack so far you can see her vulva, then I'll feel differently.

Obviously, we've all lost the war against objectification. As an exhibitionist and performing artist, I just laugh at all the funny humans in the human drama, both the objectifiers and the objectified. What a carnival! Gertrude Strine: Good clip.

You'd have a small probability of claiming self-actualisation around here, I feel, if you enjoyed being objectified in any degree in any activity. So it seems to me that the little game with rock and men and guitars that's played in the following clip, about 30 seconds in, from a Sydney online news site may be appreciated here http://media.fairfax.com.au/?rid=19159 The archived discussions on fetishism are just too complicated for my experience of the world but I have a little more of the flavour of I Blame the Patriarchy as a result of exploring them.

The pink taco is disturbing, and so are both of the images that preceded it. My skin will stop crawling momentarily. Wow, wabewawa! Thanks for the image background on the laced-up pink taco.
