Another day, another whackadoo clip on YouTube. It’s Memorial Day and we’re too concerned with chillin’ and grillin’ to post about anything profound - like how the once-vaunted Biosphere 2 is being parasitized by McMansion developers, or how Goretron8000’s Save The Planet Powerpoint Presentation is doing at the box office vs. this weekend’s brainier fare.

Milk-skinned mutants are voicing their concern over The Da Vinci Code’s monk-assassin Silas, an albino character who - not coincidentally - exemplifies the characteristics for which all albinos are known: sociopathy and psychosexual deviance, not to mention uncontrollable puppy fucking and babies’-blood bathing.
It’s no wonder these red-eyed abominations have appeared as villains in so […]

Dig Malcolm Gladwell’s latest bit of well-packaged hoo-hah in the New Yorker today - while ostensibly profiling Cesar “The Dog Whisperer” Millan, The Media Polymath We Love to Hate also makes an implicit case that Millan’s subliminal obedience training may double as a handy method for controlling your tweaky autistic child.

Mr. T’s insane toughness is the stuff of legend–his rep is carved in granite, quartzite, or possibly even rhyolite, yo. But wait…no…this can’t be true:
Several years ago Mr T - real name Lawrence Tureaud - got into hot water with his neighbours after cutting down trees on the estate, claiming they aggravated his allergies.
Wait, […]

I just came across an interesting headline from The Australian, and though it’s about a week old, something tells me it’s still relevant: Doctors fail basic anatomy. Yikes, what in the Frankenhooker is this all about?
Teaching of basic anatomy in Australia’s medical schools is so inadequate that students are increasingly unable to locate important […]

The NYTimes mag paints a grim picture of the religio-nut war on contraception. Meanwhile, The Perry Bible Fellowship paints a grim picture of what can happen if you DON’T bag your shit up. The little fuckers can skeletonize an ovum in 12 seconds flat, yo.

Richard Dawkins has a new book coming out.
Oops. I mean, Richard Dawkins has a new book coming out.
No, seriously though. With his impeccable populist pedigree and complete lack of condescension, Dawkins is sure to take his place among the great ranks of literary crusader-persuaders. Yup. This‘ll be the one that turns the tide. […]

I think we’ve all been too hard on Bush and his stance on climate change, because it looks like greenhouse gases are the least of our problems. When did this happen? Will somebody smack Earth and tell it to get the fuck back in its orbit? I ain’t even playing.
