Utah’s ‘Final Solution?’
Mar 8th
Sometimes you come across a story that is, by all accounts, so un-freaking-believable, you really have wonder if it’s real or not. THIS is one of those stories. A group called ‘Patriots For A Moral Utah’ want to introduce legislation that would, essentially, make it illegal for me to live in the state. Any existing homosexuals would be deported, and anyone harboring a homosexual would face criminal charges. W…T…F…?! More >
Misleading, Much?
Feb 22nd
A judge awarded custody of a one-year-old boy to his own foster parents. The judge had determined the boy was ‘happy and thriving,’ so why not? Had they been any typical parents, it probably wouldn’t have been any deal at all. But the parents are lesbians, so you know bat-shit-crazy obsessed right-wing people had a fit over it. How they did it though, was shady and under-handed. (And, also kind of funny to those of us on the intertubes.) More >
Toxic Garbage Island
Feb 19th
I was introduced to VBS.TV a few days ago via CNN, who recommended the Vice Guide to North Korea. (Which was an awesome short series by itself.) I spent some time looking through the various series when I stumbled across Toxic Garbage Island. You might have read about it before, that it was literally an island made up of garbage floating in the Pacific Ocean. The truth though, is that it’s not an island, but maybe an island’s worth of mass floating across a vast amount of water.

The Chapter Of Anne Frank’s Pussy
Feb 8th
(Yes, I know the picture is awful. But, I bet it at least made you smile, and this will probably the only time I can use it.)
It’s funny. Some of the strongest memories I have of high school, were some of the most ridiculous ideas school leaders and parents had about how things should be done. Uniforms, solving school shootings? Sure, they thought that was a great idea! It never ceased to amaze me how people freak out over the simplest of things. More >
Please, Drag RuPaul Away
Feb 3rd
My partner and I watched the season premier of RuPaul’s Drag Race. The last season was bearable. This season? Ugh, please, someone kill it with fire! What are my beefs with it? Read on! More >
No iPad For Me (For Now)
Feb 2nd
It’s been a hot minute since the iPad was announced. I’ve given the device some thought, and I’ve come to a choice: I don’t want one. At least, I don’t want one yet. Truth be told, yes, it’s a neat little device. Yes, I could use it to read books, listen to music, watch movies and the like. Unfortunately, there are a few things wrong with the device, that prevents me from wanting to go out and splurge on it. Let me explain further. More >
Creepy Noises?
Jan 18th
So, I came across THIS article on Cracked. It was interesting, because they talk about weird transmission. I wanted to take a shot at two of them, just to throw a couple theories out there. (Not that I have any idea as to the meaning of the noises, just what they might be used for.)
#5 (Listen To It Here)
From what I read, it’s a constantly live transmission of what sounds like a truck horn, playing over and over again for the last 20 years or so. It’s only stopped a few times, and when it did, it played Russian names and numbers. From what people can gather, it’s a live transmission, since conversations can sometimes be heard.
My theory? It may very well be a low-tech way to keep certain individuals constantly informed. The station is always live, constantly blaring that truck horn sound. Every so often, important information is relayed. Unless you knew what to look/listen for though, it would be meaningless. It’s like America’s own Emergency Broadcast System, except it’s constant and I’m sure for something a bit more secret. More >
What 3-D?
Jan 16th
I found this article on CNN interesting, as it goes into saying how perhaps 4-10% of the population have problems seeing all these 3-D movies that are coming out. (And, I thought I was the only one…)
The last 3-D movie I went to see was Avatar. (Of course.) We went to the 3-D showing. I donned my glasses, and we watched the entire movie. To be totally honest, I found the experience slightly annoying. If I had a choice, I would have just seen the regular version. But after reading the article, and thinking back, just about all of my 3-D experiences have been lackluster.
The article went on to say that there may be ways for people to ‘train’ their eyes. Maybe. But you know what? I’m rather happy with just watching high-def movies/TV. I really don’t get why 3-D is making such a big comeback?
