Bear takes the Nestea plunge!
This is awesome. Check out the article HERE.
Someone filmed a bear falling safely from a tree after being tranquilized, so they could move it to a safer place.
What would YOU do for a Klondike bar?
Autistic abuse in school
I know there are many great teachers out there who take pride in what they do, working hard for their students for very little pay and benefits. Unfortunately, it only takes a few bad apples to cause horrible scars to the educational system, not to mention the children and parents involved. This sort of thing cannot be allowed to continue. A simple transfer is inexcusable.
As for what I’m talking about, Mr. Chaifetz says it better in his own words:
Rush Limbaugh must think my wife is a slut
I see that when grad student Sandra Fluke suggested “that women are often prescribed birth control for medical reasons,” Rush claimed this must make a woman a slut, prostitute, and all sorts of other insulting things (click on the quote above to read all about it).
Well, Robin has been taking Yaz for years for the very same issue that Sandra was referring to regarding her classmate. Without it, her chances are much higher for heart attack, cancer, and diabetes in her later years. Even though Yaz is technically a birth control, it contains certain hormones in it that gives her what she needs. We actually had to change pharmacies once (leave Walgreen’s) because they insisted on categorizing it as one of those choice-drugs and therefore not covered with our insurance discounts. And wow! Without coverage, that stuff is super expensive.
And Rush, my wife can’t have children, so fuck you very much.
Big thumbs up to this video:
Oh noes! Google has your info!
No shit? THIS IS NEWS?‘
I’m getting emails where people are leaving gmail, etc to show Google a thing or two about invading privacy, like monitoring what we use their search engines for and whatnot.
Newsflash: The Internet has always been Big Brother, and we’ve loved him all the same. I’ve been using them from day one with that very thought in mind. And you know what? If Google really gives a damn that I’m searching for Oomp Loompa porn in the middle of the night, let ‘em. Maybe they can laugh along with me.
The same goes with the occasional Facebook uproar. Please take a moment to let this sink in, folks: Every. Thing. You. Type. Online. Is. NOT. Private. If there’s a hacker out there, then it doesn’t matter how many super duper big thumbs up highly secure passwords you lock on your stuff, it’s accessible and your information is vulnerable.
If you don’t want it known, don’t put it out there. It’s as simple as that. Otherwise, quit being so damn paranoid.
The Hypocrisy of PayPal
Recently, Smashwords (which I never was a fan of, anyway) is being forced to have its authors remove any works containing bestiality, rape or incest if they want to keep working with PayPal, which they do.
PayPal is apparently cracking down on online retailers who sell such obscenities. You can read the official release HERE.
So check this out:
PayPal is owned by eBay, and pretty much anything you buy on eBay can be paid for with PayPal. So long as you can’t find anything when searching eBay for incest, rape, or bestiality, then there wouldn’t be anything hypocritical going on, would there?
Yeah, I thought that was interesting.
World’s Greatest News Anchor
US news stations think to get better ratings, they have to report on negative things, or perhaps scare the crap out of the public (ex “Could you be in danger of going up in flames at any second? Tune in at 10pm). But seriously, and I know this may sound horrible, but just give us real news with messengers like this:
You’ll get your ratings. And I’m all for equality. Toss in a studly guy in a banana hammock, too.
Nazi Marines?
So apparently, some Marine snipers were posing with Nazi flags as well as putting the symbols on their rifles. They’re trying to say that the flag used was to identify themselves as “scout snipers.”
So they did that by using this flag:
Which happens to be the same as the Nazi Schutzstaffel:
I don’t think so. This goes beyond racism, which is bad enough. My dad, who was both a Marine and quite the racist, would have been furious. Think about it.
Well, before you think too long, I’ll add that I’m sure there are other retired Marines out there who wouldn’t appreciate this kind of shit, even as a joke, especially WWII vets. Like I said, it goes beyond the atrocities of the Nazi regime.
iPhone offers kid a glass of STFU
Ha! This may or may not be true, but according to The Sun, a boy asked a demo iPhone how many people there were in the world and it answered, “Shut the fuck up, you ugly twat!”
Apparently, someone had entered that in as the phone user’s name, so it was responding as it was told. Probably an employee playing pranks.
Westboro Baptist proclaims that Steve Jobs is God
First off, may Steve Jobs rest in peace. He was a brilliant man and has given us so much.
But wow! I had no idea he was God! That’s exactly who he is, according to Margie Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church. You know, those nutjobs who picket soldiers’ funerals with homophobic BS.
On Twitter, she posted this:
So naturally, a lot of people pointed out her hypocrisy for using an iPhone to post that, something created by Steve Jobs. So she says:
So not only is Steve Jobs really God, but he’s also going to Hell! Does this mean they’re Devil worshippers? This is amazing news! Tell the world!
RIP Jani Lane of Warrant
Warrant’s Jani Lane has passed away at age 47. Besides giving us great music for years, he was a great guy. About five years ago (I don’t remember exactly when), the band stayed at a Comfort Inn I worked at, along with Firehouse, and they were to play locally later that evening. I had the honor of checking them in and mentioned how my wife would flip if she could see them, but due to her schizophrenia, she was no longer able to handle being around such large crowds.
Without a second thought, Jani marked us down on their guest list and said if she couldn’t stay for the entire show, they’d understand. So once I was home from work, I told Robin to get ready for a concert and we had a great time hanging with them! Hinder also opened for them and they were a very friendly group. Robin started having problems about midway through Warrant’s set so we had to leave, but it was a memorable experience for sure.
Thank you, Jani, for all you’ve given us. Rest in peace.
