Exploitation

Super /facepalm

I groaned when I saw the headline for this video.  I didn't know how bad it was going to get though.

First off, I don't know if you heard but Michael Jackson died last week. Apparently that is the only important thing going on in the world right now. Forget that the House passed a Cap and Trade bill on Friday because that doesn't really matter.

CNN does some really stupid things with their videos. So, instead of a nice embedded video, you get a link. Oh, and turn off flashblock before following the link as CNNs site doesn't play well with it.

Get ready to feel like breaking stuff:
Freaky clouds show dead singer's face?

It's reports like this that cause people to lose faith in humanity and go on killing sprees

Jesus does not keep appearing in shit. Mr. Jackson won't either. They're fucking clouds. The world isn't going to end tomorrow. Get over it.

Update:

Round 2: Image in a tree Michael Jackson? Jesus?

Oh god it's too painful.  Full disclosure, I didn't watch that one. Using quantum mechanics as a guidline, there's a chance that the video is good. But there's also a chance that my computer falls right through my desk completely unchanged too. More than likely, the video would make me want to kill myself (the title almost does that), and my computer is staying right where it is.

Bozeman Requires Applcants' Intimate Passwords

The city of Bozeman, MT now presents job applicants with a signature-required disclosure form for their login credentials, including passwords, to "any and all, current personal or business websites, web pages or
memberships on any Internet-based chat rooms, social clubs or forums,
to include, but not limited to: Facebook, Google, Yahoo, YouTube.com,
MySpace, etc[.]" 

 This is Montana.  You can have my brilliantly unmemorable personal passwords when you pry them from my cold, dead neurons.

Piglets seek Moscow Olympic glory

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4914320.stm

Revealing quotations:

"In pigball, similar to football, the piglets were split into two teams of five in a pen where they chased a ball covered in fish oil with their snouts."

and 

"Pig swimming was a new event in this year's games, with pigs attempting to paddle to the other end of a small pool. However, the pigs were more interested in bumping into each other than racing, and one piglet managed to get his foot stuck in a rope separating the lanes."

 It's one of those stories that I wish were untrue.

Site Title?

I was thinking we might want to retitle the site "Dirty Red Commie" or some such nonsense.  "DirtyRedCommie.com" doesn't really do it for me anymore. 

At least this time we have a site illustrator at our beck and call.  You hear that, rez?  BECK and CALL.  Prepare thyself.
