sure i dont feel weird that ozzy ozburne, alice cooper, kiss, and numerous other musical icons have action figures of some sort. i'm sure the wu tang clan probably have something... i've seen various beatle's figures (yellow subarine versions, sgt pepper's versions, probably vishnu versions).... elvis has to... i bet there's a market for hendrix with left handed guitar action grip or mamma cass complete with deadly ham sandwich...
but kurt?
icons... maybe the should be immortalized in ways that they can stand on your shelf and represent what they meant to you in the slice of society you lived in.
is it different than the ancient greeks putting their statues of apollo or hermes in front of their house, often complete with big peckers?
or is it more like turning kurt into a garden gnome?
do i have issues with it cause kurt's not history to me? cause he's contemporary in my mind? ozzy and kiss, though still around are my dad's, uncle's, older cousin's, etc, contemporaries...
i had a clash song on my cell phone.
i like my joy division tshirt.
i'm not against marketing and capitalism and all the nonsense that comes with it.
high school bands play watered down led zeppelen songs on the football field. and i've heard a red hot chilli peppers musak rendition that included banjos. and usually i just snicker at the sheer rediculousness it can reach....
but sometimes it leaves me feeling.... a little... je ne sais quoi. but t'aint good. i'll tell you that.
just thought i'd throw it out there. and if you all would join me in a lounge rendition of "all apologies"....

I've got some Run-DMC action figured, but they're small and cute and cartoony -- the ones that go for realism kind of creep me out.
The Run-DMC ones are great -- they've got a little turntable, plus mic-action-grip hands.
something about the aesthetic of RUNDMC seems appropriate for action figures. theyre sort of purposefully cartoony.
and i feel that way about alot of the action figures... ozzy and alice cooper sort of have a persona.
but this creating an action figure out of the "real" person is pretty creepy. like it characatures kurt.

Common Breast Cancer Myths
The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.
Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.
Third is that it is solely hereditary
The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?
Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.
Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
