What we’re reading today:

1. Anderson Cooper talks about kids and race. In a recent study, 6-year-olds think kids should have interracial friendships; by 13, not so much.

2. Do you have a tween? Are you about to have a tween? Get ready for the Drama Years.

3. The true cost of breastfeeding: moms who nurse longer lose out on income that their peers don’t.

4. Obviously motherhood is tough and exhausting, but one childless woman says quit your whining since it’s just pouring salt in the wound. (We don’t see any problem with venting your frustrations, but maybe just to a selective audience.)

5. Are you pregnant and you know it? Do you want to sing about it?

Yesterday: Play date waivers, Europe’s Easter egg shortage and you didn’t imagine it, your kids get less cute at about 4 1/2. (Well fine, maybe not your kids, but everyone else’s)  Read more...

1. A new study shows that 6-month-old babies can understand words. Better be sure that baby’s not a secret agent before you go spilling secrets in your house.

2. Woo! New Jersey’s State Senate passed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage. There is a risk of a veto from Gov.

This is because it’s been “radical feminism’s misogynistic crusade to make working outside the home the only marker of social value and self-respect.’’ Wonder if Robyn has a response to Mr. Santorum…  Read more...

November 23 can’t come soon enough!

Was your favourite part the Paranormal Activity part? Us too.

Miss the other trailers? Here they are:

• Romantic comedy
• Green Lantern
• Heist/crime movie
• The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
• Non parody (We think? Or are we missing something?)

Tough choice, but Pig With the Froggy Tattoo might be the best, but maybe because we’re also highly anticipating that movie.

… and it’s awesome

Sesame Street does a lot of parody videos, from Old Spice to True Blood. They’re usually pretty clever, but they might have set the bar at a new height with this Glee sendup. Just, wow. Gheerios vs. the G Club arguing about how to pronounce sounds from the letter G? Amazing. The only thing that might have made it better would be real-life Jane Lynch with the G muppets. (And maybe toning down Mercedes’ and Kurt’s stereotype sassy black girl and flaming gay dude, respectively)

It’s not in theatres until November

We’ve been enjoying each and every Muppet parody trailer thus far. And they’re right, it has been a while since we’ve had a new one. For reference, you might want to check the original.
