Earlier this month the government of Estonia passed legislation that would have charged large farms, which house more than 300 cows or 2,000 pigs, around $5,000 each; claiming these gassy girls account for 18% of total greenhouse gas emissions. But much like the felonious farts, the bill had little substance and was repealed Thursday after receiving widespread & well-deserved criticism. The whole point of penalizing a company for polluting is
Japanese publisher Shueisha has halted shipment of all Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure DVDs & manga after online protesters complained about a single scene in which the villain orders the death of the hero while reading the Koran (screen capture left). They issued a public apology to their “Muslim audience” (link), vowing to remove other inappropriate scenes such as buildings that resemble mosques. Muslim audience? The anime series is 7 years old!
Talk about kissing up, last week U.S. Maj. Gen. Jeffery Hammond presented Iraqi leaders with a kissed copy of the Koran and begged for their forgiveness after a soldier was found using the Koran for target practice. Although the soldier has been reprimanded and removed from “the honor of serving in Iraq” Khalaf al-Elyan, a senior Sunni Arab lawmaker, is demanding he stand trial, saying “It is a dangerous case,
Just because the series is winding down is no reason to be lazy. Last week’s season finale of Smallville was unbelievably unbelievable. Where to start… When confronting Brainiac, Clark says he has no problem killing him because ‘he’s not a man, he’s a machine.’ Rationalizing the murder of an obviously sentient being is not something Superman would do. Moreover, Clark implausibly kills him with the very electricity Brainiac was using
This Fall 90210 will return nearly a decade after it ended and according to Jennie Garth, who will reprise her role as Kelly Taylor, it’s gonna push the envelope. Well clearly, what with Beverly Hills’ first Negro – there goes the neighborhood! But seriously, who green-lighted this? It wasn’t that good the first time around. I’d rather see them bring back Saved by the Bell (Screech needs the work). Besides,
Dawn’s your typical teen… well except for the fact that she suffers from a very unique medical condition known as vagina dentata, aka toothed vagina (living next to a power plant will do that). Unfortunately as a firm believer in abstinence, Dawn is blissfully unaware that anything’s wrong with her. It doesn’t help that every guy in town wants to rape her. And believe me the last thing you want
Every year millions of people die, but what’s the best way to dispose of all those the bothersome bodies? Graves take up a lot of space and cremation pollutes the air. According to Sen. Kemp Hannon the answer is simple: flush them down the toilet! Hannon sponsored legislation affectionately dubbed “Hannibal Lecter’s bill” that would make alkaline hydrolysis, a process in which deceased bodies are dissolved with lye, available to
Grand Theft Auto 4 has an amazing soundtrack, but I couldn’t help but notice how similar Tom Vek’s new single “One Horse Race” is to the soundtrack of the Asian cult classic “Teenage Hooker Became a Killing Machine.” Both are now playing in the L7 Jukebox
Three teens were arrested last week in Houston, Texas for digging up Willie Simms, an 11-year-old boy who died in 1921, and using his skull as a bong. They freely admitted to the desecration while being questioned about an unrelated vehicle break-in. Apparently, these boneheads thought their story would distract the police from break-in (cause grave robbing is so much better)
As if Superdelegates determining the “Democratic” election wasn’t bad enough, one them wants to sell his vote to the highest bidder. Steven Ybarra says he will cast his vote for the candidate that gives him $20 million so that he can register 1 million new Mexican-American voters. Regardless of Ybarra’s good intentions, last time I checked selling/buying votes was illegal. More importantly, why should someone have to pay you to
Zombie Strippers is a movie so bad it’s good. It opens with a cheesy news report that declares George W. Bush has just won his 4th term as President and the military’s stretched a little thin – what with wars being waged in Afghanistan, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Venezuela, France, Canada, and Alaska! So the Uncle Sam creates a virus to re-animate dead soldiers. And if there’s one
That’s what ABC News seems to be hoping for with their new article “Envisioning A World Without Men.” According to Bryan Sykes, author of “Adam’s Curse: A Future Without Men.” “The Y chromosome is deteriorating and will, in my belief, disappear,” in about 125,000 years. Beyond that the article contains little in the way of science. Instead it outright attacks men, touting this “future without men” as having no war
Apparently the site’s feed has been down (HTTP Error Code: 500) for who knows how long. After endlessly searching the feedburner forums for a solution only to find people post either “oh it fixed itself” or “yay I fixed it” with no mention of how, I finally found 1 person smart enough to post the solution: edit your original feed to either http://yourwebsite.com/feed/atom or http://yourwebsite.com/feed/rss2 Hopefully this can help others!
Although there is no regular schedule for updates, I aim for at least 1 every other day and as you may have noticed there were no updates for 4 days! Unfortunately, this was unavoidable as am the sickest I’ve even been. I have a fever, I am extremely nauseous, and have barely eaten in the past 3 days. I’m still sick but I think the worst is over so updates
Rabbi Benjamin Blech is raising hell in Vatican City. His new book “The Sistine Secrets” claims the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling is riddled with hidden messages, which promote Judaism & criticize the Pope. Blech points to the scene of the Prophet Zechariah, which he says is actually a likeness of Pope Julius II and that one the angels hovering over him appears to be giving the fig sign, the Renaissance equivalent
