La Cacaphony Society did this years ago, with cement teddy bears in a toy store.

Before you give the government the right to put a gun to your head and force you lose weight, you should find out what they mean by "overweight."

Odds are, by the official criteria right now, *you* are overweight, and thus, a fatass.

They do not appear to even name the "researchers."

"Their findings will bolster the Government's decision last month to restore cannabis to the harsher Class B status against the advice of its own scientists."

I'm guessing this means they deliberately chose to ignore the difference between cannabis causing schizophrenia and people already at risk of schizophrenia being inclined to smoke pot. In other words, they didn't even look to which was cause and which was effect.

Politics as usual: the truth is in the way, so make up a new truth.

This is obviously not a universal truth. My boss has flown to literally every continent except Antarctica on miles from his credit card, and has never had a problem.

If she had blackmail material, the time to use it would be to prevent her conviction, not after it. She couldn't even write a book after conviction, since the profits (from a crime) would be seized.

Plus, she was looking at 50 years in prison.

So adjust your tinfoil hat, and wank over her picture again.

Disney is critizing another company for manipulating a 15 year old for profit? Or are they just whining they didnn't get a cut?

I've seen the photos. A Sears catalog shows more, and in a more sexual context.

When they stop making ads that insult my intelligence, or try to give me an epileptic seizure, or just piss me off, I might consider unblocking their ads.

But mostly, I don't care if they go out of business or not. This is the web. Content is free. If you don't want to give it away free, don't put it on your web site.

It's like going to the park and giving away food for free, and then complaining that nobody is paying for it.

Your stupid business model isn't my problem.

Bah. Hotwicks has stripper scented candles. And urinal cake candles.

Non-hispanic whites are already a minority. Oh, wait, you mean "in the United States."

Well, I've got news for you. Non-hispanic whites are *still* already a minority in some parts of the US.

Big deal.

Marketing: annoying crap by annoying people that causes me to not buy the products they are selling. Ever. And makes me want to light them on fire.

I don't see a poll result for "I wholeheartedly support the strike, and I hope it goes on until the writers get a fair deal."

The assumption that prices would stay the same makes it a trick question. And trick questions never give useful scientific data. Because we're hard wired to live in the real world, and in the real world, if you make less than *everyone else*, you don't live as well. Prices *won't* stay the same.

Penn & Teller nailed it exactly when they described PETA as a cult. And as Eric Hoffer pointed out in "The True Believer," cults *need* to say literally insane, impossible things, as a method of keeping their members isolated from the real world.

While this kind of publicity stunt can be a valuable recruiting tool for a cult, the main audience for it isn't the public, it's their own members.

What is the name for the rational fear of cats?

Doesn't look like it would provide sufficient insulation against either the heat or the cold. Was anyone who has worked in the field involved in the design?
