Grey's Anatomy


Some excerpts from the New York Times article on the show,

"Everything wrong with “Grey’s Anatomy” and its soon-to-be spun spinoff is the fault of 'Ally McBeal.'"

"It wouldn’t matter, since the show is admittedly over-the-top escapist fantasy for women, except that it is troubling that even in escapist fantasies, today’s heroines have to be weak, needy and oversexed to be liked by women and desired by men."

"People complain that hip-hop stars use obscene lyrics and lewd music videos to demean women. Sometimes, so do even the most bourgeois women’s television shows."

Does anyone out there who watches the show even know what the title is a reference to?

Plus de poissons ?

The worlds fisheries will be gone by 2050 if the current trends in fishing continue.

At least someone is trying to stop it.

Microfinance

I think this is a fantastic idea.
