*and before the freakonomics frother goes all batshit trying to back-peddle and say that they said USUALLY, blah blah, I am just going to say that just as it would be wrong for me to make a broad, sweeping generalization based on my friend Candy's name, it is equally as wrong to make the kind of broad, sweeping generalizations about names that the Freakonomics freaks make.
Anonymous said... 8 Freakonomics=bullshit. I have a friend named Candice/Candy and she is college educated and is a dental hygienist. She's never been a stripper.
Speaking of names and how people perceive them, the names that I have the absolute worst bias toward are the creative spelling white-bread names that were a misguided attempt to stand out and be "special" Same with shit like Xander and Jaxton and all those other Mormon type names.
Two kinds of people I'd want to avoid hiring at all costs: "trendy" Mormons, and over-indulged speshul snowflakes like Breeahnah.
Freakonomics is nothing but a bunch of amateurish sociological theses by people who have no background or training in social sciences. Basically, just a couple of bored "economists" with some good marketing guidance and a bunch of hot air to spew.
Not surprised that some frother skybar types would latch on to it and try to bring it up at every opportunity.
Dear god, that "Are you not into being a grandparent?" thread is depressing as shit.
I can't believe how many peoples' parents just don't give a fuck. That is SAD.
My parents were pretty meh as parents, but they love my kids like no one's business. I also have a sister that is a raging bitch to me, but loves my kids beyond what I could wish for. [And I don't have a problem with her calling my DD "her girl" ;)]
I don't get the weird family dynamics between a lot of peas.
My father is definitely a MUCH better grandfather than he was a father. He never went to any of my school band competitions and my friends and teachers thought my parents were divorced because of that but he ADORES his grandchildren!

I thought it was interesting.
Of course not everyone named Candy is going to be a stripper.
Go back to your own frothing now...

Good reviews from me on the movie as well.
To the person thinking they were frothing:
I think the point was that someone named Candy wouldn't get called (sure Candice would but Candy - not so much) for an interview. Not *all* Candy's are strippers.
That peas whose parents are not into being grandparents is typical.
Most peas claim they had terrible parents. I think it's mostly a lot of bullshit. C'mon-it's 2peas where nobody can do anything good enough for the peas! Baby showers, thank you notes, shopping carts, cooking, etc.
I think it's rather telling that the OP asked for some ACTUAL grandparents who weren't into to explain their thinking or mindset, and instead she got a shit-storm of peas whining about what horrible grandparents their parents are. Typical.

Racism today is the advantaged groups denying their privilege and pretending everything is equal:

So seeing as how I'm a white woman named Shenaenae, I have no chance of getting a job? Guess I better get in line for the gubment cheez
What Freakonomics, it has a little segment about peoples names and the jobs they usually have.
Candy=stripper
