Things You Can’t Say on US TV

16Mar04

Here is a totally hilarious ad from Channel Four International in which they asked a bunch of TV and movie stars what their favorite swear words are. No doubt they are taking a swing at how conservative the FCC is. Definitely NSFW, unless you have headphones. You’ll also need Flash.

Dumbass Of The Week

16Mar04

This quote from none other than intellectual demi-god Jessica Simpson kills me (including some preface context): Referring to Simpson’s role on MTV’s “Newlyweds,” Bush told the audience, “Jessica Simpson is here with us, which means we’ve finally introduced reality TV to the Lincoln Theater.” He meant Ford’s Theatre, of course, but everyone knows President Lincoln [...]

The Furniture Room

14Mar04

[NOTICE: This is a very old blog entry.. my opinion has changed about The Furniture Room.

Free Arvada: A Libertarian Focus on the Issues

It has some interesting issues about the rights of private owners of property who are having to [...]

EchoStar / DirectTV to drop Viacom Channels

“This is extortion at the highest level,” Ergen told reporters Thursday following a speech sponsored by the free-market think-tank, the Progress and Freedom Foundation. “Viacom has crossed the line.” EchoStar and Viacom are in a dispute over what rate EchoStar must pay for CBS and what Viacom cable networks it must carry. Ergen said Viacom [...]

Motorcycling through Chernobyl Ghost Town Pripyat

05Mar04

Jake sent me a link to a girl’s homepage where she talks about her motorcycle rides through a ghost town (Pripyat) left from the Chernobyl accident. Not only is the text very interesting, but you have got to see the photos– it’s very spooky.

Pay for E-Mail Stamps? No Thanks

05Mar04

Oh, yay, Bill Gates is saying that people should have to pay for e-mail in hopes of eliminating spam. Of course, the big media is picking-up on this like it’s his big idea, yet it’s been discussed (if not implemented in some shape or form) on the internet for years.

Yoga: Let’s Get It On

04Mar04

Apparently Yoga is good for your health, as well as your libido and general sex life.

Tim’s Chemistry Exam

04Mar04

I still can’t quite fathom the motivation for this (college classes are too expensive to screw around!), but there are still a few funny bits from Tim’s Chemistry Exam. Q: What features of the above molecules makes them structural isomers? A: Their arms, legs, and skin colour.
