It's really obnoxious how much this kind of imagery pervades our culture, although sometimes it's so over the top I think it's just funny (i.e. "300").Tiberiusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-78475994064057340472010-05-03T15:07:06.007-05:002010-05-03T15:07:06.007-05:00lolAnon.
