You be the judge This being exactly mid-February in our commercialized world, I’ve been spotting a lot of those fat cherubs flyin’ around with bows and arrows of late. It got me wondering about that baby/weapon combo which, you have to admit, is not exactly normal. Give that baby a few years of hanging on to that bow and arrow and what you get — [...] . . . → Read More: Cupid and the crooked flight-path of arrows in pop culture 2011 is just a month old and already the world is a changed place.

God knows, there are plenty of reasons to take issue with the Vancouver Games, some of them alluded to here. What’s got me in a squirmy place goes back to the opening ceremonies.
