It would explain some of his fashion choices, though

Jun's not gay, he's just Japanese and tiny and fabulous metro! Or else, of course, this is a beard assigned by the PR. As we well know, their reach is infinite. Plus, isn't the PR associated with Disney? Johnny's Entertainment, Disney... it's practically the same thing, right? OMGcrackau

I'm kind of sad that I don't have a 'tinhat' tag.

criminal minds

Does anyone else find it weird that there's so much Criminal Minds gen? I mean, not that I assume that you knew that, but now that I've told you: is that weird? (Don't go rushing off to look or anything - I'm pretty sure it's just as sucky as the majority of the het and slash.)

Heroine whomping: it's the new post-feminism

Meanwhile... what the shit is up with CSI:NY and women? I linked to an article before about a trend in crime dramas of whomping the female stars, apparently (theoretically) to prevent them being too strong, to add interest by portraying their feminine emotional frailty in the face of trauma. CSI:NY started down this road last year when Stella had a stalker/domestic abuse problem. But they've gone way past that now, with a new plotline for Stella and a totally separate one for Lindsay as well.

( Cut for vague/general season 2 & 3 spoilers, and also angry feminism. )

Republican cooties

Mayan Indian leaders have vowed to "spiritually cleanse" an ancient site in Guatemala after U.S. President George W. Bush visits during his seven-day, five-nation tour of Latin America.

Made. of. win. Awesome story from cleolinda. Protesters were jailed in Bogota for trying to throw things at him - not that I approve of throwing cement bits at people, even Bush, but I think it's good he's getting a resoundingly clear response to his so-called goodwill visits.
