saw this article earlier. nice to see it linked on neatorama.

this is one of my pet peeves. the helicopter parents. the bicycle helmets. the antibiotics. the allergy medications. the fenced-in yards.

jeez....let a kid be a kid. we all made it to adulthood and didn't wear helmets and rode our bikes 5 miles away from home and played in the woods and all that.

these overprotective anal-retentive "parents" are just creating an environment for their children that will cause them to be immature, irresponsible adults that will probably end up running this country.

morons.

did you miss the $1000?

that's the only one i couldn't remember. darn.

get demi moore on the horn....

@mjgolli and Miss Cellania - didn't you read my "FIRST!" comment?

it's the whole point of how f-ing two-faced Apple is to fight Apple Records' claims of copyright infringement (which i support...the fight), yet turn around and pull some B.S. like that.

i can't even think of a word for it right now, it angers me so.

self-righteous hypocrites does come to mind, though...

Apple sure does have some balls, considering the whole thing they went through with the Beatles/Apple Records.

Makes me hate them just a bit more...

yeah...not so much, luke.

it's painful.

was seth really into max headroom (the background)?

interesting how the owner said Rex "pointed" at (in terms of how a hunting dog would "point"), yet was actually attempting to rescue it...

that whole video is like a poorly-conceived 'mentos' commercial.

if any of you have ever had to listen to Radio Disney, you'll know that Disney is perhaps the best and most insidious when it comes to marketing to children.

now, if you'll excuse me, i have to go buy Hannah Montana bed linens for my 9-year-old girl. right now.

i'm still trying to figure out where all these "ads" come from that these users are speaking of.

oh, wait...i use the freely available Ad Block Plus that can be downloaded as an extension for Firefox. that's why.

this was most excellent. great animation. beautiful work.

might have to dust off the old PSP for this one (and the chains of olympus, of course)...

agreeing with #4.

did they study the dental records of these people before they started smoking? perhaps they had 10-12 cavities before they started smoking.

i can't stand this new sensationalistic reporting of scientific studies/research/whatever. focusing on a small amount of the data always means you're going to see some sort of pattern that doesn't jibe with the bigger picture.

you know what else drives me insane?

your VS. you're.

people who write "Your very smart..." make me want to do unspeakable things to their appendages...

saw this on boingboing. really well done...but deeply disturbing. and puzzling. and foamy.
