ASoIaF Challenge | 10. Favorite bastard | Gendry Waters
At least your father raised his bastard, not like mine. I don’t even know my father’s name. Some smelly drunk, I’d wager, like the others my mother dragged home from the alehouse. Whenever she got mad at me, she’d say, ‘If your father was here, he’d beat you bloody.’ That’s all I know of him.
What do you think of JC Penney’s new ad featuring same-sex parents?
After ticking off gay-hating activists One Million Moms by standing behind their lesbian spokesperson, Ellen DeGeneres, JC Penney has come out with an advertisement featuring same-sex parents.
The ad features ”real-life dads Todd Koch and Cooper Smith” playing happily with their children, Claire and Mason.
Under the giant slogan, “First Pals,” the ad reads, “what makes Dad so cool? He’s the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver — all rolled into one. Or two.”

So much so that 15 girls died in a school fire in Mecca in 2002, after “morality police” barred them from fleeing the burning building — and kept firefighters from rescuing them — because the girls were not wearing headscarves and cloaks required in public. And nothing happened. No one was put on trial. Parents were silenced.
