Total disclaimer on this one, I love Disney movies, even though I'm a college kid. That said, this is so true. In a world where we have Tottlers and Tiaras, someone's gotta call BS and say "I don't care how nice a story this is, the princess is a terribad role model!" I mean come on, isn't society dumb enough already? Let's start riffing and ripping on these things until a good role model comes out.

Disclosure: I have an IQ well above genius, so this one caught my eye fairly quickly. Everyone knows that kid who can drink like a tank but gets straight As, well it turns out that's pretty normal. According to this article, the smart members of a group are more likely to engage in risk-taking activities, in this case getting plastered. So now you know, the best in the class isn't drinking because he can, it's because it's too hard to deal with the dumb legacy kid when sober. (To any legacy kids, you're not dumb, some are though, so watch out!)

RIP Steve Jobs, but let's face it, this guy just made pretty stuff and learned from other's mistakes. Not that there's anything wrong with those two lessons, let's just not deify this guy any more than he has already. That said, I wish everything was as asthetically pleasing as my Macbook, although there are some issues with it. (I'm writing this on my iPad because of a logic board error.) It's sort of hard to get mad at something so pretty, even if it does dent way too easily.
