I just answered the best survey question ever. Ther survey itself, of the touch telephone variety, was pretty stupid, but the last question was great.

It started: "This question is of a sensitive nature to some." But blahblahblahdemographicscakes.

"If you are Latino-American, Middle Eastern-American, abunchofotherstuff-American, press one." Yay to be super extra PC and not make "Caucasian" the first option, even though this is a regional survey and Maine is the whitest state in the nation, so chances are you'd be saving the survee a few seconds. But anyway.
"If you are African-American, press two.
If you are white [emphasis mine], press three."

That's right. They go to all this trouble not to offend minorities, and then instead of "Caucasian," they say "WHITE."

I don't think I even need to comment. I think that mocks itself.

Hey, I noticed in one of your entries that you like Emilia Dahlin! I am a fan of her as well. How did you discover her?

Wow. *blinks* Hi!

I read a review of her second CD in the Phoenix, and it was so well-written and positive that it made me want the CD on the spot. And then it took months for me to get a copy because I couldn't find it at Bullmoose. *sulk*

I've mostly listened to it as background music, but I like it. And the bonus song about bees kills me every time. =D
