Next week: fluffy bunnies must die!

Good to see that Germaine Greer has finally found a target truly worthy of attack. What has she gone after this time? Muslim fundamentalism? Nah. American imperialism? Nope. Men in general? Not this time. No, Germaine has focussed all of her considerable powers of invective on...cuddly toys.

Now, I know that newspaper columnists have to earn a living too, but I can't help thinking that this piece might be a little counter-productive. I can just imagine the Daily Mail headline: "Fanatical feminist trashes toys". But then again, Germaine lost any intellectual credibility she once had when she flounced out of the Celebrity Big Brother house a couple of years ago, complaining that house mates were "bullied" and had "an agenda", two revelations that were hardly a surprise. I mean, even my teddy bear could have told her that.
