Re: Laurel & Jasmine ...
I'm just disturbed by the clothes she's wearing. I mean, really. This is a children's movie, and she's wearing BASICALLY a bra and really low pouffy pants. She's also insanely thin. This is not a good role model. This is possibly a worse role model than Barbie. Barbie at least can wear non-revealing dental hygenist uniforms. Plus now she's not so stacked. Jasmine always looks like she does. This (bad role models in children's entertainment) is the only issue I feel conservative/censorship-ish about, but yeah, maybe I was being a tiny bit more dramatic than I needed to be with the word harlot. BTW, is there another way to pron. Laurie besides LAWR-ee? I've always said it like that; since I read Little Women when I was eight. It's my (male) teddy bear's name.
A is for Amy who fell down the stairs, B is for Basil assaulted by bears, C is for Clara who wasted away, D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh... !!!!!!!!!! - Tobias, Jesse, Wyatt, Shane, Preston, Maverick, Rebel, Gibson, Shiloh, and Timber

Most people pronounce Laurie as LOR-ee. My sister was more or less namded for Little Women. My mother wanted to name her daughters Amy, Meg & Beth but her cousin ended up doing something like that.Most people mispronounce my sister's name, including my 5-year old nephew.
