Oh Ricky, You Weren't Fine: Gervais Banned From Globes Hosting Duties? (PopEater)

Jan 17th 2011 10:06PM Digs on the banal, cliche, humdrum matter delivered by overpaid talentless actors who must squirm as the camera pans the rooms is an image I will cherish.

Zapped -- Why Your Technology Is (Really) Bad for Your Health (Lemondrop)

Oct 18th 2010 1:21PM Pure nonsense.

Can Your Name Seal Your Fate? (ParentDish)

Sep 26th 2010 3:00PM I would think the naming the baby "Barack" would have been a strong negative in the 60s. Not today, apparently, as the naming of Baracks has risen by over 1000 percent.

Who would have thought that "Barack" or even "Barney" would be such high achievers? The name is important in a society that values stereotypes. In an innovative society, new and different names are are more highly valued.

Katy Perry Too Hot for 'Sesame Street' (ParentDish)

Sep 23rd 2010 7:26PM Breasts are dangerous and should be kept hidden from sight - if you are perverted, or morally corrupt, like the Taliban. There are lots of disturbed parents these days who have phobias, perversions, aversions and other disorders.

Otherwise babies need to see plenty of them, and they reassure older children too. Normal people can safely look at them also. Except Janet Jackson's one very small boobie - it cost the networks millions in FCC fines and distracted people from the expensive halftime ads. The advertisers were pissed.

8 of the dirtiest sexual innuendos in children's cartoons (Asylum)

Aug 22nd 2010 4:40PM This is just a ripped off version of the Cracked article. Disney and Warner Brothers cartoons are filled with better examples.

Iran Men's Hair Ban - No More Mullets or Ponytails (Stylelist)

Jul 7th 2010 2:40PM In the 60s, plenty of long hair styles for men were banned in various parts of the US. Kids were kicked out of school for having Beatle haircuts in 1965.

McDonald's China defends chemical used in Chicken McNuggets (WalletPop)

Jul 7th 2010 12:42PM Salt is "somewhat toxic" too. Stearic Acid, dihydrogen monoxide, and potassium are in all burgers. Too much of any of these can kill you. Sugar is responsible for metabolic disease, such as diabetes, which leads to atherosclerosis, amputation, heart failure and early death. Yet few are concerned about the large doses of sugar in many foods.

The Silly Secret about Chicken McNuggets (Slashfood)

Jun 30th 2010 12:08PM There is also dihydrogen monoxide in virtually everything you eat these days.

The World's Largest Resort Under Development in Egypt (AOL Travel News)

May 15th 2010 5:43PM Marcus and Escalonz are exhibiting a prejudice about Egypt and the Red Sea area that is undeserved. From Eilat (which is at the bottom tip of Israel) to the South of the Red sea there is a lot of vacation style places that are safe and have been stable for years. The Red Sea diving is second to none and though it can be a little hot there, it is a beautiful location with very friendly and civilized people.

Chairless, The Most Minimal Chair Of All (Shelterpop)

May 15th 2010 5:36PM These have been around for years. There have been versions that can be used on trains or planes too, as leg rests. Another company offered something like this along with a velcro strap to keep your knees together. A long time ago I tried one and found it did make it possible to sit like that with both hands free, but put too much pressure on my back and sides to be really comfortable. These straps would sell well if for instance airlines got rid of seats altogether and forced passengers to sit on the floor of the plane. It's not likely that will happen. Younger people don't really need this as they can sit cross legged comfortably, so I assume this strap is directed toward baby boomers for use when, I don't know. At the beach, imagine the tan line this thing would produce. There may be an exercise device in this to be sold on late night TV, probably with some elastic parts. That could be fun.
