Daleks Return to Dr Who
Jim Hall writes "An article on the BBC says that a Dalek will return to Dr Who, in an episode titled simply 'Dalek'. The Doctor discovers that a Dalek has been collected by an unsuspecting billionaire. Many of the perceived weaknesses of the Daleks have been addressed: Stairs have not been a problem for Daleks since 1988, when they first levitated towards Sylvester McCoy in Remembrance of the Daleks. The new Dalek can also spin its torso independently of his head, so creeping up from behind is no longer an option. Its trademark 'sink plunger' attachment also reveals a terrifying new function. 'Dalek' is on BBC-1 on Saturday, 30 April."
As a leftist, I'll say that I think the post isn't so much offensive as it is stupid. But the woman in the picture did, apparently, do this of her own accord, so it's not like it was a crime or anything. If it's even real, the woman is probably stupid. Same goes for the guy with the plunger. But I'll bet this is the scenario:
1. Woman gets hired to have a degrading photo taken. She's only interested in the money.
2. Guy gets hired to do the same.
3. They are provided with an UNUSED plunger.
4. Photo is posed for and taken.
5. No one gets hurt other than two people making asses of themselves.
6. They both get their paycheck in the mail and commit a real crime by spending it at WalMart.
7. End of story.
So, even leftist me can agree that this is probably nothing more than a few jackasses producing a humor photo for a few jackasses.
