In yesterday's video post on Crazy Eddie's Motie News, I included the following video and commentary.

It is a movement against the belief that any aspect of a woman's appearance might explain or excuse rape.
Remember, the social component of sustainability is about promoting a just society. So is the movement described above.

Also, this happened in Grand Rapids? I'll have to search to see if this was the first one in Michigan. I'd be surprised if Grand Rapids beat out Ann Arbor.

I did some searching, and sure enough, it looks like Grand Rapids held the first slutwalk in Michigan. Congratulations, Grand Rapids, you beat out Ann Arbor, East Lansing, Detroit, and Ferndale in something progressive!

( Even better, the event received a fair amount of coverage. For starters, WOOD-TV 8, the creators of the first clip I embedded, followed up on their story. )

Consider this to be a follow-up to oil prices dropping 10 percent. All stories from WOOD-TV's YouTube channel.

First, the stories before the drop in oil prices last week.

Gasoline averaged around $4.29 per gallon in West Michigan on Tuesday night, but there are several ways to avoid paying the wholesale price.

( See if you notice any theme tying the rest of these videos to high gas prices. )

Now, the videos after the price dropped.

Patrick DeHaan of gasbuddy.com told 24 Hour News 8 it appears prices have peaked for the foreseeable future.

( And how has the price drop affected people's outlook about the economy? )
