I will shut up then, secure in the knowledge that Strawberry Shortcake is a front for a poisonous conservative tendency that is corroding our society from within.

For fuck's sake it's just a magazine about cooking. Yes, people shouldn't judge people based on stereotypes, but stereotypes are usually based on something, and young girls do tend to like playing with dolls and cooking and all that shit and boys like breaking stuff, setting fire to stuff, toy cars and fighting. The company who make the magazine are trying to make money, it's not essential reading on the National Curriculum and it's not trying to change society.

You'll never convince me.
They've clearly got a hidden agenda.

Reading that, I think maybe I was more of a "proper lad" than I ever realised. I think I still am, actually.

Woah. I didn't realise the thread was so argue-y.

I just saw the Zoe 101 advert. It was on straight after a pregnancy test ad!

Someone told me the otherday after the Strawberry Shortcake advert that it was also sexual slang for an act where you jizz on someones face then punch them in the nose to make it blead into the aeformentioned jizz. I couldn't work out if they were winding me up or not.

If the magazine does indeed teach that, do we need to discuss the gender and sexual identities that are suggested by participants of that act?

I saw the first edition of the Torchwood Magazine in WH Smiths today, I giggled at the absurdity of the front cover and Barrowman quote until a dirty old man gave me a funny look. I don't think I'll be buying a copy.

I couldn't work out if they were winding me up or not. For all of these things, I check urban dictionary. And it seems it is an actual slang term. www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=strawberry+shortcake

As a complete aside, did you know that according to Urban Dictionary "fire in" means to put your sperm inside someone? I've always used it with the meaning of trying really hard to flirt with someone, until I said in front of a classmate who started screaming with digust. Part of this may have been caused because of the fact I was saying how my brother was "firing in" to a girl.

The issue with the poorly-stitched Dora doll is still sitting in my local newsagents. I have decided if one of my clearly anti-Hispanic neighbours doesn't buy it soon, I'll adopt her.
