The Grinch that "almost" stole Christmas

After thieves ran off with a trailer full of donated toys, the Christmas spirit is still alive and well in the state of Florida. Although all the toys were stolen, an exceeding amount of local residents called a Firefighters Union asking how they could help. The donations came in on Tuesday from people stating that they were furious that someone could steal toys from innocent cancer patients. One lady that was extremely upset donated $5,000 to the charity. Broward County's Sheriff's Department charity fund also gave in $5,000. After all of that, a man came and donated another $5,000. By the end of the day, the money donations were an unexpected amount of at least $60,000. Due to the abundance of toys and money donated, there was more than enough to go around. The party for cancer children had extra toys which were donated to other charities in that area. Despite the fact that there are some evil people in this world, the majority of people are good, generous, and kind.

1 - How do you think the cancer patients felt about cruel people stealing their gifts? =(

2 - How do you think they feel today after the generosity shown by their neighbors? =)

Step Off the Scale!

This article (click the post title) discusses teens' obsession with their image and weight. In conjunction with the article I found this cool flash video about "real beauty." (If you are unable to view it here, you can go to YouTube and search "dove" and "evolution.") I bet you watch it more than once!
I'd like to know what you think about the claims in this article and the movie clip online. Also, do you think these unrealistic expectations are different for boys and girls? If so, why? At what point in a person's life does "beauty"discrimination start?
