“Sherlock Holmes” Official Trailer. Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law. Trailer makes it look like the new Indiana Jones.

If there are two things I’m totally gay for, its Sherlock Holmes and Robert Downey Jr, but Nick’s right; trailer makes the film out to be an Indy-type action movie, instead of a dark & intelligent mystery.

come on...

I’ve been going through blogs like fuckyeahchubbygirls and heyfatchick,

and, dont get me wrong, i love that these things exist, i like thinking that theres someone out there who doesnt think im disgusting, but honestly, why are 90% of the pictures semi-pornographic?

Okay, your big. So am i, im probably bigger than you. But everyone can tell this when you have clothes on, you dont need to show us your boobs to prove it.

I think its this kinda thing that has lead to the ‘fat chicks are easy’ thing going round, and some of us might be, but for us that arent, we honestly dont want to get tarred with the same brush.

I dont care if you dont get rid of all of them, but at least balance it out a bit.

This was posted a couple of weeks and I only just found it.

First of all, there are loads of people who don’t think you’re disgusting. Thousands of them. And these people also think you are gorgeous. Ever since I started flying the fat flag, I have discovered many, many people who are down with chub.

I’m sorry for all the boobs and bums. There are a few reasons for this:
1) I’m obsessed with Crystal Renn and she won’t stop taking her clothes off;
2) I’m a bit of a perve and I really like looking at pictures of nude and semi-nude fat girls; and
3) It is really, really hard to find flattering pictures of clothed big girls.

Number 3 drives me crazy. There aren’t that many famous fatties, but I do make an effort to post pictures of those that do exist. I never see pictures of fat socialiates or clubbers, which is where fuckyeahskinnybitch seems to get a lot of her photos. There aren’t too many successful plus sized models (though I am discovering there are more than I originally thought) - Crystal Renn is the most successful, and like I said, the girl can’t keep her clothes on.

So your point is valid (though I don’t equate nudity with pornography); I just want you to be aware that I’m not choosing to post nekkid fat girl pictures instead of clothed fat girl pictures.

Lastly, I very much doubt it is due to sites like mine that there is a view that “Fat chicks are easy”. I think it is due to arseholes like this, who view fat people so poorly that they think big girls should feel privileged whenever a man shows them any attention. I also think it is due to some big girls having such low self-esteem that they feel they should take up any offer a man gives them, because beggars can’t be choosers and they should take what they can get.

Which is exactly why I created my tumblr. I wanted to have a place that showed fat women that they are truly beautiful, inside and out. That, both in and out of clothes, they are sexy and inspiring and strong and just so fucking beautiful. If fat women could see this in themselves, then maybe they wouldn’t give their bodies to anyone who asked; maybe then they would have to confidence to reject the man (or woman) who disrespects them.

I personally like that you post tasteful pictures of women without much/any clothing about as much as you also come across pictures of women with clothing.

First, its just these kinds of sexy and positive images that we need to be seeing. It’s normalizing - the rest of the web is filled with pictures of smaller women in similar shots.

My second and more personal point of view is that women are obsessed with studying other womens’ bodies and seeing the differences and similarities with our own - let’s not lie. I find it incredibly fascinating to get a better picture of the variations in the female form sans push up bras and body shapers, etc.

Can we all just agree that fat chicks are hawt?

I personally grew up with Fuji Velvia, and then digital, but this is the end of an empire.

2012 full length trailer

This might just be the perfect disaster movie:
- Global cataclysm
- Broken family united by disaster
- Government conspiracy to save a select few
- Shit blowing up

Am I missing anything? All good disaster movies have all these elements, and this looks to have all those, and then some.

So instead of actual TV we now have this TV/Macbook/Boxee/Netflix setup. Doesn’t work as well as I’d hoped. Needed: wireless mouse, keyboard

And we need to figure out why Boxee won’t respect the actual resolution when going full screen, or let us see the full watch instantly catalogue on Netflix.

See that middle icon, there? The one that Joshua Keay designed for FileMagnet and generously offered to me for Instapaper 1.4?

That’s prohibited in the App Store because it depicts an iPhone, and Apple rejected Instapaper Pro 1.4 because of it.


  We’ve reviewed Instapaper Pro and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store because of an Apple trademark image.


Citing this:


  You may not use the Apple Logo or any other Apple-owned graphic symbol, logo, or icon on or in connection with web sites, products, packaging, manuals, promotional/advertising materials, or for any other purpose except pursuant to an express written trademark license from Apple, such as a reseller agreement.


It’s the same occasionally enforced rule that blocked an update to the immensely popular Pocket God app a few weeks ago (here, here).

I don’t know enough about trademark law to know whether Apple needs to defend against this sort of use, but it seems like a stretch to say that an abstractly drawn icon depicting a device (which resembles many other phones as much as it resembles the iPhone) is trademark infringement.

The App Store is great in a lot of ways, and it’s still an amazing deal for independent developers. It’s just frustrating when the problems crop up, because compared to nearly everything else about the whole setup, the problems seem so arbitrary, avoidable, and developer-hostile. For instance, this problem wouldn’t be nearly as frustrating if approval, even for minor updates to established apps, took less than 7-14 days.

Regardless, I’m not interested in playing the “resubmit the same thing and hope to get it past someone else” game. I’m going to make a different icon from scratch that doesn’t contain any depictions of any Apple products (can I use arrows, or does that violate the arrow key on Apple’s keyboards?), resubmit, wait another 9 days, hope I get accepted this time, lose a few weeks of the increased sales that the new version will generate, and chalk it up to another annoying cost of doing business on the App Store that I can’t do a thing about.
