Though health care providers usually encourage breast-feeding as the healthiest alternative, teaching it to well pre-pubescent girls goes well beyond the good taste boundaries. Some would argue that it’s better than other dolls; ones that teach little girls that bottle feeding is the norm. I think both camps are missing the point.

I have another, more civilized idea. Let’s stop making dolls that teach young girls how to take care of babies. Are we not pushing these girls into earlier pregnancies because they are convinced they know how to take care of a baby, and because these stupid dolls don’t teach them that they need to wipe baby ass every hour on the hour? This romanticized notion of baby-rearing, is dangerous especially in underprivileged, less informed families, who are much more likely to have un-wed, immature teens who think they can handle it.

Maybe Berjuan’s next product will be a doctor’s set for boys, where they can give male dolls pretend prostate exams. In the same spirit of addressing important life issues through the mindset of a child.

Incidentally the baby name, “Bebe Gloton,” translates to “gluttonous baby.” I am undecided if that adds insult to injury here.

In Madrid, the test site was close to a ruined building believed to be frequented by drug dealers. And in both Madrid and Barcelona, the studies were carried out close to universities.

The study showed higher concentrations of the components on weekends, suggesting that drug consumption was up in these periods.

While most of us squirm at the site of a bee heading toward us, while enjoying that beer in the backyard, it’s important for us to realize that those bees play an extremely important role in the horticultural process. Without bees carrying pollen around, crops would suffer and many agricultural farms would die off.

A few years ago apiarists (bee farmers) noticed a serious decline in bee colonies along with the death of many colonies. Recently, some scientists from Spain discovered that the cause of the decline in bee colonies was directly linked to a fungal virus being contracted by the colonies and not cell-phone use, as some idiot scientists speculated.

After determining the type of fungus and fumigating several test colonies, scientists have determined that the virus is curable. No need to worry people. The bees will be back in full force this summer!
