Binders full of women...

Everyone will know the story and the Tumblr by now, so I bring you two things you might not have seen (yet). The first is very silly, the second very serious.

I've been hearing about this and OMG, the giggles I've had...and the sobs -

"Binders full of..."

Head. Desk.

BTW- I LOVE your icon. Love it. The thing that gets me is - why do we keep thinking something is going to change just by switching parties or playing musical chairs with the players? If we don't work to change the entire structure of the system - to change the paradigm - then it's going to continue to be same old, same old for perpetuity. Or until the entire thing cracks under it's own weight.

They must have nabbed it within seconds. And it's brilliant, yet awful. *shudders*

Mmm, binders. (Mind you, American binders have THREE rings? That's just weird.)

It's a quote from Doctor Who - almost a throw away line re. a plot point, but one of those that really stings if you examine it too closely. *loves show*

What, you don't? Three is nice and stable, what have you got? (That said, Americans ARE just plain weird - and if you think our binders are weird....)

I didn't know where the line came from - which season/Doctor? I stopped watching it after college, so I'm only familiar with the "old" show (ending with Sylvester McCoy.) It is a great line though - and a reminder of how often really great ideas can sneak into what our culture considers "disposable" or "kids stuff".

Heh. I can certainly see the sense in three, it's just one of those little differences that I never knew about. We have either two or four - but they're the same standard, so the two middle holes are always in the same place.

I didn't know where the line came from - which season/Doctor?
Eleventh Doctor, S5 ep 2. If you want to have a look at the new show, I'd recommend S5 - new Doctor, new showrunner etc. It was sorta rebooted, and became more like what the show used to be.

I\ve not seen much of the Classic show, but Seven is the one I'm most familiar with and I ADORE him. He's my favourite after Eleven, and for the same reasons. <3

Oh I am 100% sure it was 100% deliberate. Doctor Who has good writers. >:)
