			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve heard that when people get older, they start to lose their filter, which for a lot of people means that the racist comments start to flow more openly. Take, for example, my grampa. When my brother was flipping through his pictures from a recent trip to the zoo, he stopped on a photo of a gorilla and my grampa shouts from the back of the room &#8220;Who&#8217;s that? Obama?&#8221;  So I probably shouldn&#8217;t be so surprised that Martha Stewart, who recently turned a very sexy 70, has a series of photo albums with some pretty racist undertones.</p>
<p>First up is her gallery of &#8220;<strong><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/274618/your-best-halloween-costumes/" target="_blank">Your Best Halloween Costumes</a></strong>.&#8221; Everything starts out all cute (<em><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/contests/halloween/best_of_halloween09_wall_e_and_shark_xl.jpg" target="_blank">Wall-E and a Whale</a></em>), creative (<em><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/contests/halloween/best_of_halloween09_empire_state_bldg_xl.jpg" target="_blank">Chrysler Building and a Fighter Pilot</a>, although that one could be a little terroristy</em>), and generally accurate (<em>fat girl dressed like a <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/contests/halloween/best_of_halloween09_vending_machine_xl.jpg" target="_blank">Vending Machine</a></em>). But then things take a turn for the worse when she tries to incorporate some diversity into the album.</p>
<p>How do you dress the only black girls in your album? Like Mrs. Butterworth&#8217;s and a Waffle, of course. And how do you dress the Asian child? Not as <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/contests/halloween/best_of_halloween09_sushi_xl.jpg" target="_blank">sushi</a>, but as a car &#8211; now that&#8217;s just ironic.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/contests/halloween/best_of_halloween09_waffle_syrup_xl.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/contests/halloween/best_of_halloween09_waffle_syrup_xl.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="338" /></a> <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/contests/halloween/best_of_halloween09_mini_cooper_xl.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/contests/halloween/best_of_halloween09_mini_cooper_xl.jpg" alt="" width="274" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>Her next album takes it up a notch: <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/274791/baby-costumes/@center/276965/halloween#/" target="_blank">Baby Costumes</a>. Also known as: How to Make Your Baby Look Like A Douchbag While They&#8217;re Too Young To Do Anything About It. The first few are cute: <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/special_issues/2004/ft_halloween04chicken_xl.jpg" target="_blank">Spring Chicken</a>, <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/special_issues/2004/ft_halloween04sheep_xl.jpg" target="_blank">Little Lambs</a>, <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/special_issues/2009Q4/sip_hal_09_owl_xl.jpg" target="_blank">Down Syndrome Owl</a>, but what the fuck is going on in these pictures? Mincemeat pie is disgusting, and there&#8217;s no way I would eat that turkey &#8211; too much fat.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/tv/martha_stewart_show/show_photos/2001_2050/2024_craft_1833_xl.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/tv/martha_stewart_show/show_photos/2001_2050/2024_craft_1833_xl.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="338" /></a> <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/tv/martha_stewart_show/show_photos/2001_2050/2024_craft_1850_xl.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/tv/martha_stewart_show/show_photos/2001_2050/2024_craft_1850_xl.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>To be fair, Martha isn&#8217;t entirely racist, and she does try to incorporate other cultures into her lists. For example, her <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/276949/everything-thanksgiving" target="_blank">Thanksgiving Turkey Recipes</a> list has a lot of standard turkey fare (Bacon-Roasted Turkey? Don&#8217;t mind if I do), but she was clearly thinking of the African American community with her <strong>Deep Fried Turkey</strong>. Is that a slave hand holding the pot? I think so&#8230; And why is there a rainbow cake mixed in with her St. Patrick&#8217;s Day recipes? Because fairies and leprechauns come from the same genus. Now you know.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/recipefinder/recipe3/main_00680_xl.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/web/recipefinder/recipe3/main_00680_xl.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="338" /></a> <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/tv/martha_stewart_show/show_photos/5101_5200/5140_042010_rainbow_cake_xl.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.marthastewart.com/sites/files/marthastewart.com/images/content/tv/martha_stewart_show/show_photos/5101_5200/5140_042010_rainbow_cake_xl.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be serious. If I was in the mood for some deep fried turkey, I&#8217;d do what the rest of the Dorchester community does and go to <a href="http://www.thehenhouseboston.com/" target="_blank">The Hen House</a> for some chicken and waffles.</p>
<p>Oh, if you&#8217;re still wondering why I think Martha Stewart is a GILF, there&#8217;s this:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Halloween! It&#8217;s that time of the year again, and for a lot of you girls, it&#8217;s also that time of the month (but let&#8217;s be serious, when is it not?). It seems like everyone has something to protest these days: Arabs are protesting dictatorships, Occupy Boston is protesting AIDS or something, and there&#8217;s even a colorful group of people protesting Halloween costumes.</p>
<p>These <a href="http://www.ohio.edu/orgs/stars/Home.html">minority students from Ohio University</a> are standing up to Halloween costumes that are culturally offensive. There&#8217;s an Asian girl protesting Geishas, a Native American protesting bad grammar, a black girl protesting interracial sex, and that kid from Slumdog Millionaire protesting his father. I can&#8217;t blame them, if people showed up to my Halloween party wearing shitty costumes, I&#8217;d tell them to leave too. Except the Asian, she could stay.</p>

<p>Getting back to my point, I think these kids are really missing the bigger issue. There are a lot of costumes popping up these days that try to replicate some pretty disgusting stuff. No one wants to wake up next to someone dressed like a bloody tampon &#8211; that just raises the question: &#8220;was it bloody when we met?&#8221; And if you show up dressed like a dildo, you&#8217;re pretty much guaranteeing yourself a right-handed nightcap. This has to stop. If it were up to me, I&#8217;d have Jamal and his friends out there raising awareness about the real issues, because these costumes are not okay:</p>
