You must be this ugly to ride this bus

Nearly half a century ago, a woman named Rosa Parks sparked the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. by refusing to move to the back of the bus. Today, there is another minority being oppressed in Germany. No, it’s not what you’re thinking.
It’s the sexy.
A German bus driver threatened to kick a 20-year-old woman off of his bus for her sexy clothing. Apparently the woman’s cleavage was a visual distraction for the bus driver, and as any man will tell you, they hate being distracted by cleavage.’

Employees at a soap store in England began serving customers wearing aprons … and nothing else, until some nagging Nellie had to go and ruin all the fun by complaining. Exactly how dirty can it be if they’re selling soap? Plus, it was both genders in the aprons.

Let me be clear on this one: I don’t care about Harry Potter, whether in book form or in movies. I don’t know anything about the wizardry in the them, the characters and their developments, I don’t know who killed whom and so on.
That is precisely why I am really tired of hearing about it from the media. For months on end, the headlines have been unavoidable. They have all been either an interview with J.K. Rowling about how hard it was to write the last book, hype about the upcoming book or about the newest movie. It happens every time there is a new book or movie released. Enough already.
I realize they’re something of a phenomenon with people, but those of us not into magic have had to endure your overzealous enthusiasm for a decade. It’s time to stop, people. You’re grown men and women obsessing over children’s books. Like a junkie trying to find their dealer, as soon as the new stuff comes out you all hop in a five-hour long line to get another hit.
Spend some time outside. That might be a cure. Or better yet, read this blog as obsessively as you read that drivel.
