Joss being honored by Equality Now
Before you roll your eyes (Jay Lewis), I just want to have people see another reason why I really admire Joss Whedon. Watch the link. Even if you don't like him, you can at least hear what he stands for.

Subliminal sock message.
So my mother is hilarious. The kind of hilarious without even knowing it. Not only am I stressing about finding a job, and a place to live and pack up my life in to boxes -- which is an odd concept really, she sent me a pair of socks. They are those little happy bunny socks that say " boys suck" or "you smell" or something else like that. She gave me the answer to all my problems in this pair of socks with a saccarine green cheerful bunny with a message. They say:"Hooray for guys with money".
Thanks Mom. Thanks.

THE GEEK 100
'ToyFare' ranks the 100 moments that drove fans wild.
Some of my favorites:
68. COLOSSAL COMEBACK
Death and resurrections in comics. Yep, crappy comic writers use that crutch to hide their “skills.” But not here. Undoing one of the lamer deaths in comics, Joss Whedon gives fans one of the best images in comics in the past 10 years. When Kitty finds her long-lost love Colossus in the pages of Astonishing X-Men #5, it was a shock, a thrill and a heartache, all in one instantly classic moment. (September 2004)
61. ANGEL OF DEATH
Joss Whedon’s scrappy Buffy the Vampire Slayer revealed real bite in the second season finale when Buffy had to slay her evilized vampire lover Angel…just when he’d gotten back his soul. We don’t recall Gidget ever having this problem. (May 19, 1998)
53. HARRY PLOTTER
Remember reading Sorceror’s Stone and thinking, “Oh, very clever, Children’s Book…we totally can’t tell Snape’s the bad guy.” Then Harry pulls Quirrel’s turban off and in one disturbing-as-hell image we finally realize—this is no mere kids’ book we’re dealing with. This J.K. Rowling broad, she might go places. (September 1, 1998)
47. MAGNETO’S GREAT ESCAPE
Supervillains in film were usually of the mustache-twirling, master-plan-having variety. So when we saw Magneto in X2 leeching out the iron in a guard’s blood and using the metal to kick seven kinds of ass to break out of prison, we realized the world now knew what we always did…supervillains are some scary mothertruckers. (May 2, 2003)
32. LORD OF THE RACK
The only thing better than finally getting into the theater to see a long-ass new Lord of the Rings flick? Getting the longer-ass special edition DVDs. Hey, Hollywood: film all your movies with an extra hour. Unless they have Ben Affleck in ‘em. (November 12, 2002)
11. A LONG TIME AGO, WHEN THESE MOVIES DIDN’T SUCK...
The sparkling Lucasfilm logo, the silent fade into “Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away…”, then—waitforit, waitforit—that blaring orchestra! Those giant stylized letters! The trumpeting arrival of the text crawl! George, we might be tough on you now, but thank you. (May 25, 1977)
