These ones are for the ladies... let's celebrate a little good news reportage for the day, shall we?
Rapist 'anxious' to be doctor again
Yes, that's right, miracle of miracles, The Age subeditors have learned what 'how' to 'do' their 'job'. No 'rapist' in sight. Rather, the question is the rapists alleged 'anxious' state. What a nice change, given the amount of times we've been subjected to such shoddy editing, which only furthers the idea that 'rape' is questionable, rather than a reported murder, which somehow never appears as 'murder'.

Say goodbye to the Bratz Dolls - forever!
Now I find it hard to believe that they won't make an appearance again at some stage through some magical multi-million dollar deal, but in the meantime, let's savour the thought of a few less Bratz Dolls making their way on to the shelves.

This Bratz news has made my day! Many's the time I've lain awake at night, imagining the battles that will ensue if my hypothetical future daughter expresses a desire for the hideous things. No doubt there'll be some new doll by then that's just as bad, but for now it's a definite win.
So glad I someone else is as excited as I am. I have the same imaginary battles in my head, too. Will it make her want the doll more? Should I just give in, let her have one but explain why I think they're terrible? Should I just go to sleep and stop worrying about my imaginary daughter and her imaginary doll? And I wonder why I'm an insomniac...
It's tough, huh? Sometimes I think the only way is to move to a remote island where the only doll my imaginary daughter will have is one that I made her out of twigs tied together with strands of hemp.
