The war on fun
Best part about this whole stupid Phelps thing:
The television station also reported that police confiscated the bong Phelps allegedly used after tracking it down when its owner, who is one of the eight people charged in the case, attempted to sell it on eBay for $100,000.
Holy fuck.
Talk about childhood trauma:
TRACK OF THE DAY: THE STOOGES – I WANNA BE YOUR DOG. Shit I have always loved this song. I was pretty happy when they played it at the bar last weekend. A BAR THAT ACTUALLY PLAYS GOOD MUSIC. SO weird.
Schwulaaahhh
What a mother-fucking, cock-sucking, piece of shit cunt monkey.
State Senator Robert Ford is hoping to outlaw lewd language and is pushing for a bill that would prohibit profanity.
Under the pre-filed bill, profanity could land you in jail for up to 5 years and/or cost you up to $5,000 in fines.
Which words are exactly considered profane is still unclear, but the bill does have a list of qualifications for profanity including words or actions that are lewd, vulgar or indecent in nature.
Pop culture = evil
It would be difficult for me to care any less about American Idol or Paula Abdul [save the Rush, Rush video where I fell in love with Keanu Reeves as a child.] Anyway, this is kinda fucked regardless.
Paula Abdul is accusing American Idol producers of forcing her to come face-to-face with known stalker Paula Goodspeed, reports People.
Abdul was a guest on Barbara Walters’ Sirius XM radio show Barbara Live!, where she claimed that Idol producers allowed Goodspeed to get close to her for “entertainment value.” The Idol judge was familiar with the girl and begged producers not to let Goodspeed audition in Season 5, but they went ahead and allowed her into the room anyway.
“I said, ‘This girl is a stalker of mine. Please do not let her in.’ Everyone knew. I was shaking,” Abdul remembered. She also claimed producers insisted Goodspeed audition because it would “be fun for them to cause me stress,” and added that Goodspeed showed up at other auditions and obtained her address by following her home from one of them.
“She had been writing disturbing letters for 17 years, almost 18 years,” said Abdul. “We had restraining orders at times.”
Abdul claims Goodspeed also sent her naked pictures of herself and, in some letters, threatened her with “bodily harm.” Abdul adds, “She said the only way I will serve her purpose is when I’m up in heaven being her guardian angel.”
On Nov. 11, police found Goodspeed dead of an apparent suicide outside of Abdul’s home.
Yea.. she doesn’t look whack or anything.
Doggie jealousy.
The Vienna-based researchers showed that dogs will stop doing a simple task when not rewarded if another dog, which continues to be rewarded, is present.
…To make sure that the experiment was really showing the interaction between the dogs rather than just the frustration of not being rewarded, a similar experiment was conducted where the dogs performed the task without the partner. Here they continued to present the paw for much longer.
… The researchers say this kind of behaviour, where one animal gets frustrated with what is happening with another, has only been observed in primates before.
Okay, I see what you’re getting at…. This is kinda fun!
WTF? That jerk gets it and I don’t? … I demand a recount.
You’ve gotta be kidding me. Screw this shit.
-other dog: I’ll do it! I’ve got my paw all ready and everything!

Rage for a Monday morning.
An appeal judge in Australia has ruled that an animation depicting well-known cartoon characters engaging in sexual acts is child pornography.
The internet cartoon featured characters from the Simpsons TV series.
The central issue in the case was whether a cartoon character could depict a real person.
Judge Michael Adams decided that it could, and found a man from Sydney guilty of possessing child pornography on his computer.
The defence had argued that the fictional, animated characters were not real people, and clearly departed from the human form.
They therefore contested that the conviction for the possession of child pornography should be overturned.
Justice Michael Adams said the purpose of anti-child pornography legislation was to stop sexual exploitation and child abuse where images of “real” children were depicted.
But in a landmark ruling he decided that the mere fact that they were not realistic representations of human beings did not mean that they could not be considered people.
He ruled that the animated cartoon could “fuel demand for material that does involve the abuse of children,” and therefore upheld the conviction for child pornography.
Rather than jail the man, however, he fined him Aus$3,000 (US$2,000).
At least it was only a $2000 fine but COME ON. Guh.

See last week’s post in my blog about what Neil Gaiman has to say on freedom of speech.
To save us all from floating magical beings in the sky…
Atheists posted this sign beside a Nativity Scene outside a government building in Olympia, WA.
“Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds,” the sign says in part.
Dan Barker, a former evangelical preacher who now heads up the atheist and agnostic Freedom From Religion Foundation, said it was important for atheists to see their viewpoints validated alongside everyone else’s…
“It’s not that we are trying to coerce anyone; in a way our sign is a signal of protest,” Barker said. “If there can be a Nativity scene saying that we are all going to hell if we don’t bow down to Jesus, we should be at the table to share our views.”
He said if anything, it’s the Nativity scene that is the intrusion.
“Most people think December is for Christians and view our signs as an intrusion, when actually it’s the other way around,” he said. “People have been celebrating the winter solstice long before Christmas. We see Christianity as the intruder, trying to steal the holiday from all of us humans.”
The 50 lb sign was stolen a few hours after it’s erection (LOLZ) and thrown in a ditch. A temporary sign will replace it.
Gaylor said a note would be attached saying, Thou shalt not steal. “I guess they don’t follow their own commandments.” she said.
Is she really just figuring this out now?
AND NOW FOR THE BEST NEWS OF ALL TIME!
BRATZ ARE ILLEGAL! DEATH TO BRATZ!!!
Laziness prevails.
We just had to wait out technology.
The no-exercise drug — called AICAR — was given to sedentary mice for four weeks. Compared with untreated mice, they burned more calories and had less fat. And when tested on a treadmill they were transformed into star athletes, running about 44 per cent farther and 23 per cent longer than mice not receiving the medication.
“We have exercise in a pill,” Mr. Evans told the Associated Press. “With no exercise, you can take a drug and chemically mimic it.”
