HOW TO MODERNIZE: Agatha Christie’s Marple
Britain’s privately owned TV network released a fresh new Miss Marple season in the naughties, which is absolutely full of lesbians. OK, I exaggerate, a tiniest bit. But I have to say, the gratuitous inclusion of lesbian couples, at least

SEX ON A HOT VIBRATING DISHWASHER
Of all the annoying if not actually harmful media tropes around sex, the one which sexualizes housework is the one which I find the most downright yucky. Ugh, yuckity yuck yuck. Allow me to explain, Gentle Reader, for this is

PRETTY SULKY TEENAGERS
There’s one in practically every TV show and film. You know who I mean, the pretty sulky teenage daughter of the family, she’s bratty and rude and rolls her eyes at everything her parents and cool-geek younger siblings say or

THE RED HAT SICKNESS
“Red Hat”, or “kolah ghermezi” in the local vernacular, was an extremely lame, extremely unfunny, extremely annoying puppet character and the hero of his eponymous children’s TV show from the mid-nineties. The valiant people of Iran fell madly in love

ADELE TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE
Yes, while we’re on the subject of comparing Western and Iranian celebrities, let’s not forget these two: Haydeh and Adele. Yes seriously. Their looks, of course, both big women with big round faces and a penchant for big hair, and

CLARIFYING THE ISSUES SURROUNDING MAKE-UP
Every so often, another stupid “scientific” study is published showing that men in fact ARE attracted to women with make-up on. Whoops- No, here’s another the one- they’re not! Women without make-up look more low maintenance, more approachable, and so

“THERE’S A LITTLE LOVE IN EVERY CUP”
Really? Why do I have to read this outright, blatant, stupid, ridiculous, annoying goddamn LIE printed on my coffee cup, during my morning classes? Why? isn’t enough that they sell coffee to groggy people? What is this repeated assurance that

“DISCO 2000″ AND PULP; “ALWAYS” AND BON JOVI
The two music videos have obvious similarities: both produced in ‘ninties, era of glossy shows and big ballads, they both showcase the fraught love of a young photogenic couple. The frontman/lead singer for both songs is way beyond average good-looking,
