    Hitler reacts to the Ipad

    I like the Ipad, but apparently Hitler does not. He has a past record of being on the right side of inventions (VW, anyone?), but this is a definite Fail.

  • Australia Gets Tough on Small Boobs

    A-Cup AliciaA-Cup AliciaThe Aussies are most definitely one weird lot. I’ve always suspected as much and it was just confirmed by the recent news about the anti-porn crusanders in Australia, who seem to be even more bizarre than their right-wing American counter-parts.

    A year ago (and I don’t know where I was when this news came out), the porn censors in Australia decided for some strange reason that small breasts encouraged Paedophilia, so started a campaign to ban small breasts in porn.

    The MuppetsThe MuppetsAs I told my friends when they showed me this the other day, this video is so great that the 12 million-odd Youtube views are probably the result of 2 million people watching it six times each. Really, it's that good. If you haven't seen this, watch it now.

  • Is Cross-Dressing Ok For School?

    Does Chris Crocker Look Ok for School?Does Chris Crocker Look Ok for School?Do you believe that it is ok for a boy to wear a skirt to school if he is not in Scotland wearing a kilt? How about a Chris Crocker styled wig, complete with the make-up of Tammy Faye Baker on a male high school student? Should this be in bounds for the school dress code or should this be disallowed on school time?

    Along the same lines, is it acceptable for a female student to wear a tuxedo to her Sr. Prom or should she conform to society’s standards and wear a dress? Is that the same type of situation?

    The NYT recently ran an article checking out the answers to some of these questions on a cross-country basis. Not surprisingly, the answers varied widely from state to state.

  • The Grounding of Tess: Is it Fair?

    Tess Under House ArrestTess Under House ArrestFacebook has been used by possibly nefarious parties to secretly find out the color of your underwear, to take sides in the disputed Iranian election, and is now being used by a 15-year-old to protest being grounded by her parents.

    Her crime was simple: she went to a party with alcohol present and was late for her curfew by one hour. Her parents responded quickly to their daughter’s crimes with a swift and possibly harsh judgment: they grounded her for five weeks.

    It seems like there was a new round of 'weird Japanese products' making its way to my inbox this past week. By inboxes I meant in email form from a good friend with a bit too much time to spare and not the product itself. But then, I must admit that the dissection keychain would be worth owning.

  • The Suggestive Saddle Machine?

    She's having a bit too much fun?She's having a bit too much fun?
    Can I just say this now … I hope never to see anyone try this in a public place. So far I have been lucky, unlike this poor bloke. Yea, if I were him in that situation, I would be traumatized too.

    The topic in question is a saddle-like exercise gear. You know, you get this machine which has a saddle that moves (shakes? Gyrates? Grinds?) under you. As if that was not bad enough, turns out, you can set it to different speeds. Ooooh, this is just as bad as that jerky-hand-motion dumbell!

    Los Angeles is terrorized by a giant kitty in this Lydia Lee short from Julie Meadows Ent. Mostly it reminds me of an old Original series Start Trek episode . . .

    You Betcha!You Betcha!The Republicans seem to be taking over the airwaves at a rapid-fire pace. First, George Bush’s daughter got a job at NBC as some kind of education commenter. Nice to have connections, isn’t it?

    Super GlueSuper GlueI recently had the worst hair cut of my entire life. No joke. But it might be nothing compared to the weird dude in Oregon who has been randomly  putting super glue in women's hair.

    Jared Weston Waler, who hails from Texas, has recently been charged with “interfering with public transit” in Oregon.


     

     

     

  • Anti-Smoking Groups Complaining about Avatar

    SmokingSmokingWe are clearly getting too uptight about a few things. And, by “we”, I don’t necessarily mean “we” as in “you” or “I”.

    I just read an article in the NYT which quoted some idiot from some anti-tobacco association who was upset about Sigourney Weaver (who played a research scientist and is somehow always associated with any film involving aliens)  smoking a cigarette in a scene in the movie “Avatar.”

    In case you are wondering what he said, it is definitely worse than you could ever guess. Here’s a hint: it involves an ingredient for a nuclear weapon.

    This is like someone just put a bunch of plutonium in the water supply.
