With a website called GodHatesFags.com, you can probably imagine how the Westboro Baptist Church feels about homosexuality. Below is a video that puts them to the test. The interviewer starts flirting with one of the protesters and even grabs his butt commenting on how firm it is.
If you believe the marketing, it might look like this.
The Brazilian government required an internet auction site to remove an ad where a man is offering to sell his wife for about 50 bucks.
As of Saturday the ad was no longer visible on Mercado Livre, an auction site partially owned by Ebay. Mercado Livre was warned the it was violating a law banning the offer or sale of “human organs, people, blood, bones, or skin”.
The man who listed his name as Breno, gave a simple explanation. “I sell my wife for reasons I prefer to keep short… I really need the money.”
Tragic news for this Easter morning. Cadbury Creme Eggs are shrinking!
Just in case you’re old enough to use a computer but haven’t figured out how to go to the bathroom, ClusterFlock.org has instructions for how to correctly open your bowels.
It looks like tattooed fish may be the next fad. Pet stores have started carrying the fish with messages tattooed in to their sides and they are selling fast.
If you happened across the Lactivist CafePress site and saw a shirt that said “The other white milk”, what would your first thought be? (Hint, the Lactivist is a website that supports breastfeeding of children). Would you associate that shirt with pork?
Now that you’ve had a chance to think about pork you may have thought of the pork slogan of “The other white meat”. Apparently the similarity is a little too close for the pork people. They sent a cease and desist letter to the Lactivist demanding that they take that shirt off their site because it is a trademark violation. And it looks like they sent one to CafePress as well since the shirt isn’t available now.
Yes, trademark protection is important. But it’s not like the shirt says “pork will kill your kid, breastfeed ‘em instead.” Just think of all the “Got Milk” knockoffs you see around.
On the upside for the Lactivist, they are probably going to get a lot of free advertising out of this. People love a big corporation doing stupid stuff to the little guy type story.
For the whole story and a link to a PDF of the cease and desist letter, be sure to visit the Lactivist Blog entry on this absurdity.
Where was this when I lived in an apartment? I had neighbors that would have an “interlude” every Friday night at 1:00am. You could set your clock by it. Another neighbor would have his rap music cranked up so loud that I couldn’t hear anything else. The best thing I could do was to crank up the launch scene from Apollo 13
Tip for those janitors who are tired of cleaning the floor under urinals. Etch a fly into the urinal. The Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam did that and the “spillage” was reduced by 80%.
