Pinterest Anyone?

This really stimulates my gag reflex:

For those with a stronger stomach check it the full pinboard (of the pinterest member who posted the above).

And this too - to inspire your Young Women...

Remember a while back when someone posted about the art/posters that are all jazzed up Sparta style Army of Helaman/Nephites?

http://realheroposters.com/magento/index.php/army-of-helaman

They've got ones for chicks too...

http://realheroposters.com/magento/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/113/s/young-women-values-set/

Don't forget, these are REAL people, with REAL courage, and that these are REAL stories... and that's a fact!

I must say, the art in those is pretty epic and inspiring.
However....

Obsession with modesty has Mrs. Nephi and her "Relief Society sisters" wearing dark fur and capes in the Arabian Desert!

Sooooo lame!

What was with the "Enjoy General Conference" cards?

I actually flipped through the whole pinboard. I'm so ashamed. God what a lame collection of stupid crap.

Re: Sooooo lame!

Yes, I felt the same shame and self-loathing after I looked too.

As penance I went and looked at the board with pictures of tattoos and a scantily clad Gerard Butler!

Blech.

That plaque looked like it was etched candy-heart candy. It would be fitting...cloying and artificial.

Re: Pinterest Anyone?

Two words that immediately came to mind:

Meso. American.

Totally.

Oh, and: Not. Northern European.

No way.

Ugh!

Seriously - this stuff is nauseating.

The pinboard linked to that one had a pin on some quote from Hinckley about "The women who make a house a home make a far greater contribution to society than people who command large armies or sit in seats of power" (or something like that)...

Unbelievable! I'm a parent. I love my kids. I do my best. But seriously - who are they kidding? They believe this shite?

I think pinterest is an interesting website. It's fun observing the pinboards as a facet of a person's perspective and reality - and to see how broad or small someone's worldview might be. These TBM pinboards really grate on me though... They really highlight what a narrow area of the WORLD that these people function in.

Barf...that mini pattern one really takes the cake, IMHO. Sooo many things wrong with that! (n/t)
