Age of consent in the Vatican is 12 →
The age of consent in the Vatican is 12 making it one of the lowest AOCs on the planet. No wonder they like young boys, they don’t think of them as children I guess. South Park was right, they really, really don’t want to stop having sex with children.

750,000 lost jobs? The dodgy digits behind the war... →
So piracy costs “more than the combined 2005 gross domestic revenues of the movie, music, software, and video game industries”, or is something fishy going on?
If you pay any attention to the endless debates over intellectual property policy in the United States, you’ll hear two numbers invoked over and over again, like the stuttering chorus of some Philip Glass opera:...

Psst … Marvel? This Name Is a Really Bad Idea |... →
I don’t think Marvel is setting a good example for girls with their new HOs project. O.K., it’s really “Her-Oes” which I guess references “her O-Face.” If you call it by it’s initials “H.O.s”… Great job Marvel is doing under the new Disney.

Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger | The Onion →
The Onion has a hysterical obituary for the now deceased J.D. Salinger:
CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn’t do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. “He had a real impact on the...

Australian censor board demands large-breasted... →
The Australian rulling body, in all it’s infinite wisdom, has banned a-cup or smaller breasts from appearing in pornographic films on the grounds that adult women with small breasts encourage men to become pedophiles. So in Australia, small breasts and the mean who like them are apparently perverts.
“Australian Classification Board (ACB) is now banning depictions of small-breasted...

Color Theory for Designers, Part 1: The Meaning of... →
Color is one of the hardest things I had to get my head around in art school. It either comes naturally to you or else you have to learn it. I have to learn it. This will help.

Science Channel Refuses To Dumb Down Science Any... →
I’m glad somebody else noticed this:
SILVER SPRING, MD—Frustrated by continued demands from viewers for more awesome and extreme programming, Science Channel president Clark Bunting told reporters Tuesday that his cable network was “completely incapable” of watering down science any further than it already had.

SoCal school district bans the dictionary Boing... →
O.K. people, we need to dial our sensitivity knobs back down to a reasonable setting. When schools start banning the dictionary for being to salacious, then we have collectively lost our heads. This is retarded (a word with an actual definition that California kids will apparently miss out on learning.) and no other word quite sums this situation up as well.

Scientologists 'heal' Haiti quake victims using... →
We really need to kick these bastards out of Haiti. While thousands of volunteers are down there trying to offer aid, these dangerous idiots show up and get in the way. They are claiming to heal damaged nervous systems via touch. Ugh, it makes me sick to think how they are capitalizing on this tragedy and taking up air that could be used for genuine help.

Massive Oil Spill Off Coast of Port Arthur, TX. →
420,000 gallons of oil spilled in Port Arthur, Texas yesterday morning. This is terrible news. I’m from this area and have family there. I’m concerned about the economic impact on the area as it will estimated to be $250 million a day. It’s also a delicate ecosystem saturated with wetlands.
