Um, can we back up for a second? Wouldn’t you think “Life’s little surprises” is probably their lady-like euphemism for when you have a menstrual blood tsunami, or whatever? Right. So…then…how come they have “during your period” further down the list? If “Life’s little surprises” isn’t getting your period early, I’m a bit confused and more than a bit afraid of what they might be referring to.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/9EVNxdJMY5qubafslq6tf8U8_r1_250.gif)

Michel Gondry on cynicism:
I don’t think I have any cynicism in me…. I hate cynicism. I wipe it from me. I don’t like cynical people. I don’t like cynical movies. Cynicism is very easy. You don’t have to justify it. You don’t have to fight for it.
On this point, I agree with Gondry. For example, cynicism is adding a laughtrack in post, pitch-adjusting the laughter to appeal to kids, and ruining a perfectly good sketch in the process. I think maybe the Nickelodeon audience of 2000 was not as sophisticated as the Nickelodeon audience of 2008. Let’s turn that cynicism upside down.
Ooh, I just thought of an analogy, approximately 2 hours too late: cynicism is putting makeup on a puppy to make it cute. Good one, Lisagor. [High-fives himself.]
