Veet

I've been following the Veet ads kerfuffle with a curled lip. Wish I used it so I could boycott it but I don't. Their nonpology is as pathetic as their nasty commercials.

I did like this response on one article:

I'm an averagely sexist male and even I found this offensive.

'The fact that there might be the faint ghost of hair on your legs does not take away for a second from the fact I had sex with a person who is a female of my species. The only reason I'm not doing victory dances, creating impromptu soppy poetry, and just sitting on my knees sobbing while thanking you is that I have to pretend to some semblance of coolness in the vain hope that you might repeat the fixture.'

That is what goes through chap's brains.

Heh. Okay.

Bear Hunt!

Wonderful video interview with the author and illustrator of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, one of our all time favourite books to read to the kids, talking to each other twenty-five years later about how the book came about.
