This Was a Good Idea, WHY?

Link:

Virgin Atlantic Airways on Friday scrapped plans to install bright-red urinals shaped like women’s open lips at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, saying it had received complaints they were offensive.

…

“I don’t know many men who think it’s cool to pee in a woman’s mouth, even a porcelain one,” said NOW President Kim Gandy on the group’s Web site.

You don’t say.

It’s Crazy Tasty!

Spam sucks, sure enough, but occasionally you get some winners:

Apparently, Minister Charles Simpson has the power to make me an ordained minister…. in 48 hours! While not exactly the deity I want to be, it’s a step closer, and it includes such benefits as: weddings, funerals, baptisms, forgiveness of sins, and even visiting correctional facilities to “preach the word of God to those who have strayed from the flock.” All for $29.95. Ohhh! Correctional facilities! I’m just tingling with… um… fear? Maybe I can fend off a shanking with the Good Book.

Seriously, I can’t think of anything more unappealing. Well, maybe one thing.

So even spam has got its niche markets. I wonder if the spammer forgives herself after each spamblast?

Speaking of Simpson, The Simpsons is on right now… gotta go.

BRISTOL, R.I. (AP) — A student group at Roger Williams University is offering a new scholarship for which only white students are eligible, a move they say is designed to protest affirmative action.

The application for the $50 award requires an essay on “why you are proud of your white heritage” and a recent picture to “confirm whiteness.”

“Evidence of bleaching will disqualify applicants,” says the application, issued by the university’s College Republicans.

I Need a Theme Song for my Shooting Spree

A BRITISH-based company is selling MP3 players which can be attached to an assault rifle.

The “AK-MP3” player is built into the ammunition clip of a Kalashnikov and can be swapped with the real magazine.

Yep, that’s right… an MP3 player for your AK-47. Full story.

Speaking of sprees, Kevin Cooper is up for execution tonight at 12:01. In 1983, I lived a few miles from the scene of the massacre he’s to be put to death for, and even went to school with Christopher Hughes, the 11-year old neighbor that was spending the night. He was hacked to death along with 3 members of the Ryen family. Three former jurors have come forward urging postponement, and that may happen based on a stay issued by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals this morning. I was only 10 at the time, but I remember the incident causing considerable regional panic, but a lot of that already existed because of the proximity to the infamous Chino Prison, which Cooper had escaped from shortly before the murders.

Celine’s Grammar

I don’t know why this irritates me so much, after all, she’s ESL… but Chrysler should know better. And I’ve been laying around the house all day and suffered through it many times… so you’ll suffer with me.

Here’s Celine for the PT Turbo (thanks, CC):

I don’t understand the concept of
All we need
The power of one is stronger
Don’t you find that ironical
When love is all we need

Jesus fuck. Ironical? Um, Ironical?!? WTF? Sooo… irritating.

Note to self: get a life.

Ann Coulter Talking Action Figure (and Jews are bad)

This article is typical Coulter crap, this time the Dems are all a bunch of evil Jew-lovers. Zionist conspiracies abound. *yawn*
But if you scroll to the bottom of the page, there’s an ad for the upcoming Ann Coulter Talking Action Figure. It seems to me the mission is clear. You know… one of those lovely stop-action movies. Who can forget what could of been between Obi-wan and Disco Lando? I mean, the bitch is practically begging for it! Fool. Hmmm, where to find appropriate action-figure co-stars? [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Ugh. Spam.

So I got a little bored today and started to track down the fuckers who actually spam me. I receive a relatively small amount of spam compared to most, so there’s probably a few specific shitbags responsible for the majority of my spam.
Tracking down spammers is dicey. Headers are always forged, and a variety of methods are used to spam from any machine but their own: open proxies, open relays, hijacked IP blocks, even internet worms. So you look elsewhere, which usually means going after the website in the body of the email. It’s not always the case that the spamvertised website IS the actual spammer, but it usually is. And even if it isn’t, the hosting company should be notified they’re supporting spammers.
So, anyway, today I present shitbag #1: a Robert Soloway of Medford, OR. See the SpamHaus ROKSO profile.
So Bobby, I know who you are and when you spam me, I know you have a small penis, and of Jan. 1st you will owe me $1,000 for each one of those lovely spams.

Any more bright ideas, George?

SBC Sues RIAA; porn firm goes after swapper identities

SBC subsidiary Pacific Bell Internet has sued the RIAA to stop subpoenas to release the names of internet music swappers. As much as I loathe SBC, when it comes to this, good for them.
But of more particular interest, is the mention that porn-house Titan Media has also sued to identify 59 swappers presumably passing around clips of their boy-on-boy smutfests.
At their current clip, it’ll be 2200 years before the RIAA can sue all 60M file swappers. But… rather than end up as a statistic:
• The EFF has a page on how to protect yourself.
• The RIAA has stupidly posted a handy Excel spreadsheet of songs on their hit list.
• And Slyck News explores a possible pattern emerging in the RIAA tactics.
