After reading a number of diaries here on the subject (or at least their titles) I have come to the painful conclusion that I too cannot sufficiently supress my carnal instincts in order to make a rational decision between our Kos advertisers.
I (and I imagine others here as well) really like pies.
But there are right and wrong ways to express that desire. We must resist the temptation.
Pies are not objects to be exploited for our entertainment.
Ever since Hollywood defiled a pie in a popular movie staring Jason Biggs has the entertainment industry tripped over itself to reach rock bottom. Pies have been used for everything from selling sex to making violence look acceptable. For anyone who was entertained by this disgraceful display ask yourself this. Do you even remember the name of the pie?
It was apple. I think.
Ok I just had to get that out of my system.
Wherever you have a major cause like feminism, racism or environmentalism, there are bound to be some major current and/or historical grievances to go along with it. Now there is a difference between using them as a source of inspiration or to fight against their genuine antagonists and through either arrogance or naivete using them to rain fire and brimstone on anyone you have a minor disagreement with. This is usually done using the justification that even if you erred it would be "on the right side", and it does a lot to trivialize and to take attention away from what would otherwise be a serious issue.
The "pie issue" is a question about taste and about Kos's right to make minor decisions for his own site. Nothing more, nothing less.
So enough with randomly attacking anyone who disagrees with you as a misogynistic pig. Both men and women have a right to watch stupid, substanceless shit that exploits any primal desires that they choose. And to defend their right to do so.
p.s. Apologies to whoever's diary I bumped off the bottom for this crap but it's late and I for one needed an antidote to all those "pie diaries".
