I would be lying if I said that I hadn't spoken many of the Shit Girls Say sentences word for word. And I'm all for laughing at yourself. But I also wondered what the tweets and the video might be saying about women -- and which women they're saying those things about.
This week, Egyptians braved brutal beatings in Tahrir Square in search of democracy and freedom while Americans braved violence in Wal-Marts in search of cheap Black Friday appliances: #resetyourvalues. On the campaign trail, latest GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich came under fire for using the word "humane" in a debate answer about illegal immigration and suggesting we should adopt a policy to avoid tearing apart families. Apparently, erring on the side of humanity doesn't sit well with "family values" voters. And, in a demonstration of the kind of real-time, crowd-sourced creative commentary only possible on the Internet, the UC Davis campus cop who heartlessly pepper-sprayed peaceful protesters became a viral meme, depicted spraying everyone from Gandhi to George Washington to a baby seal to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel God.

I think this Inception meme says two major things: 1. The Internet ROCKS! 2. The soundtrack of the Inception trailer ROCKS!
Before the Internet, "cute" and "viral" rarely shared the same sentence. Now, adorable is an epidemic.
Despite the fact that there has been absolutely no evidence pro...
Bras may be magical but I'm pretty sure they haven't invented a cure for cancer yet. How does "raising awareness" about breast cancer without raising money help anyone?
What color is cancer? What do you say if you don't wear a bra anymore because you don't have breasts? Some survivors were playing along; Some were offended.
Out of the sheer force of brilliant and persistent reporting, deep commentary, and visionary leadership, the nation will find its way once again.
