Hey, fellow LJgeeks. Anyone else having problems editing a mood theme?
p.s. RE: South Dakota.
The President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation, Cecilia Fire Thunder, was incensed. A former nurse and healthcare giver, she was very angry that a state body made up mostly of white males would make such a stupid law against women.
“To me, it is now a question of sovereignty,” she said to me last week. “I will personally establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on my own land which is within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation where the State of South Dakota has absolutely no jurisdiction.”
WIN.
p.p.s. So I hear it's been a bad year for 4kids. That would be better news if their gutted One Piece helped to drag them down instead of prop them up. While I wish all possible ill on them and everything they stand for, this news likely means that they will cling to One Piece all the harder. Maybe there's hope, though:
"Heading forwards, it was stressed that 4Kids wants to focus on properties it owns, as opposed to properties that it licenses." Now if they'll just let some licenses GO, to companies that will do them JUSTICE. Or maybe just ONE license. Perhaps, you know, the one that doesn't belong in this list: Yu-Gi-Oh!, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Pokemon, Winx Club, One Piece, Cabbage Patch Kids.
Incidentally I was a little curious about what Winx Club actually WAS, and found myself in the flash nightmare that is the 4kids website. I was drawn to the One Piece section out of sheer TWS, and what was the first thing I found? A recent forum topic, linked to the top page, full of people bashing the dub and telling everyone to read the manga and download fansubs.
Two thumbs up. Power to the fandom.
