Vive le Health Reform, but Boo for Stupak!
So believe it or not, I had no idea that the health reform bill had passed this past...er..March 21st, until I went to school this Tuesday. Since my assignment (and presentation!!! DX) for next week is on policy and environmental changes, and I am a procrastinating spineless worm, I spent all of tonight reading about it....in the women's health POV. Of course. :D And I emailed my House Representative, Ciro Rodriguez, twice (once through the planned parenthood website, and the other through his actual website), to thank him for voting YES on it....even though I can't vote. -_-; Well, I think that I do like politics. :D? Anyway, I can't believe the stupak amendment passed, but I'm still not to sure as to what will happen next. Is it really there to stay? Is it possible that it will be defeated in the near future? Politics are complicated. I need CNN on TV damn it! The website is not navigation-friendly and it doesn't have Anderson Cooper nor Sanjay Gupta being handsome in action. :(
ANYWAY, as per usual, during my foray into the world of women's sexual health, I came across a few interesting things. And since I like to get side tracked, I'm totally sharing them with you....I don't have that many, I promise! :D
So first, I found this really spiffy website called Emandlo.com that have all kinds of really interesting, funny, and usually very well-informed articles about, well, love and sex~ I admit having wasted several precious hours on it tonight. But! They did guide me to these very awesome commercials~! Perhaps you've seen them, but being TV-less, I missed them. But they are awesome~
This is probably the best~
I really enjoyed this one, especially the old lady saying, "It's a man's world. Men make stupid things." XD XD I wonder if men are responsible for cardboard tampons. Not that they're bad or anything. They're biodegradable? :D
Hmm, now that I think about it, it would be interesting to see if these could be converted into EC ads. After all, a lot of people are misinformed or uncomfortable talking about it...This could totally be an idea for my fifth assignment, when we have to design our own interventions! Ideas ideas.
Ah, school sucks. ♥
