Hey everyone,

So this week’s weekly rant is going to come a little bit early.  And this is for two reasons.  First, I haven’t been to any particularly cool restaurants recently, and second, I believe today was the release of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 aka The Worst Movie Ever 2.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m all about sisterhood, traveling and pants.  I just hate these movies.  They make me want to pull an Oedipus (not the sleeping with my mom part but the gouging out my eyes part).   

These are the kinds of movies that I’ve often seen huge groups of girly girls go to watch together and then afterwards go home and mourn their loneliness but hide it in a.)ice cream or b.)a tough girl “all I need is my homegirls” act (forgive my use of gender stereotypes and norms, but they do it to themselves).  These are the same girls who say they love the single life, but really deep down inside it’s just because they can’t find a boyfriend because they’re too busy watching horrendous movies or being dumb. 

What’s worse is that this movie’s concept makes me want to cry for humanity’s future.   Congratulations, you are a group of girls who travel in different directions, and magically, the pants fit EVERYONE single one of them – even the big girl, who I’ll get to later.  Now I haven’t seen the movie, but there’s probably no magic involved. What happened was probably that the skinniest girl started off with the jeans, and then progressively, the jeans got stretched out with each of the larger girls, until of course we get to the big girl – the big one who plays UGLY BETTY and is in fact actually ugly.  

So, Ugly Betty’s name is actually, wait for it…AMERICA.  That’s right, perhaps when I go to Japan, and live there for awhile, I’ll consider naming  my child Japan. Or even Djibouti if I ever venture out there.  Honestly though, America seriously?  I know it’s an actual name (Americo Vespucci, yes I know).  But still, nowadays when you name you’re kid America, at least make sure she’s attractive, or else she’ll just perpetuate the stereotype that Americans are ugly and gross people.  

Okay, I’m done with my rant,  if I have anything to add, I might return….

Screw The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 and Screw America.  

But I love food,

Ray
