They must be taking a leaf out of ABC's manual of balanced news reporting, like PLO terrorist> freedom fighter.

What's in a bra?...

Good question-
Maybe there are WMD's, or maybe more abused Iraqi prisoners!

Either way I want pictures! It's the only way to know for sure.

Golly, an Arabic translator misinterpreting an Islamic Imam's words of hate? Who would have thought that would be possible, Islam being a religion of peace?

[/sarcasm]

i'm shocked, shocked i tell you at the imam in sweden playing the media for the gullible fools they are

Arabs are liars? Who knew?

Great to see some more incitement to racism on the blogmire from the low mongrel bloghead. Oops, banned for telling the truth again!

Miranda, is it possible for you to make a post without using the word "blog"?

It was mildly amusing the first time, now its as stale as a John Kerry joke.

Get some new material.

Miranda, do you mean to say that you don't care if someone lies, like the Imam from Sweden?

Well, given all the lying, squawking, and crapping you do here, that's pretty much your moral level.

By the way, the Iman in Sweden is a racist, by definition of the term; that his object of hate is American is immaterial, if you are truthful about it. Oh, and a hate monger as well.

That's probably why you love him so much.

"The 1980s revolutionised the lingerie industry," says Catherine Perele, head of one of the world's largest lingerie companies, Simone Perele.

This is a lie. As we all know, Reagan was crushing artistic and sexual freedoms in the 80s. She must mean the 1880s, or maybe the 2080s, the far off imagined utopia of bra freedom.

Actually, I hope the next revolution is complete toplessness.

"(cough)volvo(cough)" - gold! I love reading a good wind up, and Chris certainly went a bit weird at the end there. And what is the deal with Niall? Is he as big an asshat as he sounds?

If you're referring to my post, Miranda, it's not racist. I'm simply recognizing cultural differences. You know - "diversity." Can't have diversity without differences, can you? And you're grown up to know that not all cultural differences are good ones, yes? Here's a few more you might enjoy -

Gypsies are thieves. American Indians are prone to alcoholism. Japanese are conformists.

Americans are loudmouths. Italians adjust their dicks a lot. And as an Italian-American, I'll loudly proclaim that I'm typing with one hand while shifting my junk with the other.

Oh, BTW - when an ethnic/religious group gets off on calling another ethnic/religious group "pigs" and "apes", then I cease to worry about offending them. They've abdicated any expectation of respect.

When you consider what all bras have been made of in the past, and are being made of today, I think it's a good idea somebody keeps us abreast of the situation.

Bawdy, Timmy, but still not a patch on 'Blogjam' :)

Alan, with all that modern technology has done to improve our standard of living, the improvements to the bra are probably one of lesser known feats.

I think it is safe to say that our cups runneth over.

Where'd you get the BMW idea, Niall? I don't think I've even driven a BMW in three years, yet alone owned one. What the hell were you thinking?

My favorite parts of Chris's lame ripostes were these:

First, that his lone purchase of an import could not of itself have caused the collapse of the local industry (um, yes, you're rght, Chris. But an accumulation of those individual decisions did. See Tim's CFC-usage metaphor.)

Second, that he never advocated for the local industry, just beoaned its loss (proving that being a leftist means that you just have to be sad and concerned, or, if you feel something MUST be done, badgering and charging others to do it while personally participating in the action that causes the problem - like plastering a "Ratify Kyoto" bumper-sticker on your SUV.)

It's a particularly loathsome form of self-righteous hypocrisy.

No, Dave, you don't understand his point. The point is complicated, and Chris has no time to explain it to the likes of you. If you want to know what he really feels, you should check out his books.

(The fickle goddess of satire was especially kind to hand me an appropiately navel-gazing book when I hit up Amazon to ape a Chris Sheil rebuttal.)

Sortelli, don't you mean this book and this book?
