Or something like that. Long-time right-wing nutter, Debbie
Schlussel, has let loose with a review of the movie, and
while I approach the weekend after opening weekend (when I’m able
to see it) with open-yet-hopeful apprehension, it’s things like
this that will keep me entertained. Especially fun is her
assertion that “Watchmen” is obviously made with and marketed
with a kid’s audience in mind, an insanity that continues to run
unabated, if not uncorrected, through her comments below the
actual article.
Thank you, Debbie Schlussel! You’ve managed to make even the
weirdest of comic book psychotic nerds look somewhat normal!
There were so many disgusting, violent, morbid, grisly scenes
and acts of killing, I had to start writing them down, lest I
forget. And that’s in addition to the rape scene between
superheroes (complete with violent beating of a female
superhero) and an explicit sex scene between two other
superheroes. Oh, and don’t forget another superhero’s swinging
computer-generated penis frequently in your face on-screen.

The post-baby stomach-binding method that Jessica Alba, Minnie
Driver and others used to flatten their bumps back down
What is it?
A tummy wrap designed to help women to reclaim their
pre-pregnancy bodies and provide support to the back. Its
creator, Lori Caden, based it on the ancient practice of belly
binding, used for centuries by Japanese and Hispanic women to
restore tone to the midriff.
Who is it aimed at?
New mothers who are desperate to lose the saggy belly that
stubbornly refuses to disappear even with diet and exercise.
What's the idea?
Made from compression material, the Belly Bandit applies constant
pressure in the abdominal area that can help to reduce uterine
swelling and bloating from water retention. Dr Jay Goldberg, an
obstetrician at the Cedars Sinai Medical Centre in Hollywood,
says that it can be worn the day after giving birth, even after a
Caesarean, and then all day and night for six to eight weeks.
“But it should not replace diet and exercise,” he cautions.
Who uses it?
Jessica Alba, Tori Spelling, Minnie Driver, Halle Berry and Gwen
Stefani.
Where do I find it?
Choose from three styles - original, couture (prints such as
zebra and plaid) and eco-friendly bamboo, costing from £44.95.
Order from sole UK stockists www.mumstheword.com.
Is it worth the money?
It's pricey and there's only anecdotal evidence that it works.
But anything that might possibly lessen post-natal tummy trauma
gets my vote.
