As a child of the ‘80s and a Kathleen Hanna fan, I was tickled pink to stumble onto this video a few minutes ago. It’s Le Tigre’s “Deceptacon” mashed up with images from the kid’s TV series Jem, and it’s actually quite well done. Showtime, Synergy!

I am not usually one to use chat-room abbrevs, but,
OMG.
Thank you, Melinda. My day is now at least 80% more awesome.
Also - I used to be all about Aja, but I just noticed the Hologram with the red hair who always seems to be in a suit - holy moly! She's like the Laurie Anderson of cartoonland!

I just watched this again, at work, surrounded by dazzled coworkers. I can't believe how well synched-up and just generally awesome this is. I'm giddy from watching it!
Although I was the proud owner of a Jem doll with flashing red light-up earrings, I think I always liked the bad girls in the show more. At home, I have a CD-R of 32 songs by the Misfits, downloaded from the interwebs years ago. (To the uninitiated: No, not those Misfits; it's the rival girl band from Jem, who were always kidnapping Kimber and trying to steal Jem's boyfriend and stuff.)

(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
