Careful, Norondor.  Give those Canadians an inch and they'll take 2.54 centimeters.

Yes, I will click your nondescript video. That sounds like a great idea.

Parasites get ants to climb to the top of grass too.

Wait until you see what memes do to people!

You would think of all the fucking entities in the world that would know exactly how shitty it is to name something after a common search term or ambiguous phrase, it should be google.

Did he run Madonna off his show or was that supposed to be "prima donna"?

Launch of the USS AMERICA FUCK YEAH
The nerdy/poetic side of me says "Eh, it's the closest thing we'll get to the Pride of Hiigara, built from the remains of the original Mothership," and the other side says "Wow, commence patriotic wank-fests."

I was thinking more of the Madonna-whore complex. But we can pretend! Right?

Wow.

“David, I read your posts about how the cell carriers are eating up our airtime with those 15-second ‘To page this person, press 5′ instructions, but I think Verizon has a bigger scam going on: charging for bogus data downloads.

“Virtually every bill I get has a couple of erroneous data charges at $1.99 each—yet we download no data.

“Here’s how it works. They configure the phones to have multiple easily hit keystrokes to launch ‘Get it now’ or ‘Mobile Web’—usually a single key like an arrow key. Often we have no idea what key we hit, but up pops one of these screens. The instant you call the function, they charge you the data fee. We cancel these unintended requests as fast as we can hit the End key, but it doesn’t matter; they’ve told me that ANY data–even one kilobyte–is billed as 1MB. The damage is done.
...
“Now, you can ask to have this feature blocked. But even then, if you one of those buttons by accident, your phone transmits data; you get a message that you cannot use the service because it’s blocked–BUT you just used 0.06 kilobytes of data to get that message, so you are now charged $1.99 again!

So Verizon phones basically have "lose two dollars" button?

 :slow:

I cannot wait for Google to push one of their any-service OMNIPHONES to the casual crowd and be done with these scummy cell phone companies.

If you aren't an idiot, you can remap those buttons. They just default to the pay shit.

Ha, that's nothing. Just be glad you don't live in Canada - dead last in the industrialized world for cellphone quality, price, or service. There are people who come here from old eastern bloc countries or war-torn African nations who are actually shocked and appalled at what passes for Cellphone service in Canada. I'm not even joking.

CNN runs a whole dang in-depth story on furry culture:

Quote
"There's a magic moment when you put a costume on and see yourself in the mirror," says Mr Woods. "It's simultaneously disorienting and exhilarating. You actually do feel that you've changed for just a moment."

Anthrozoologist, Kathy Gerbasi, who studies human-animal interactions and furries, has witnessed furry interaction first-hand.

"People say that being in a fur suit allows you to do things you might not otherwise do, like dance in public, clown around, give people a hug," she says.

It just kinda hit me how utterly insane this entire thing is. Since there's been the internet there's been furries, but I'd always chalked it up to "obscure bizzare sexual fetish" and left it at that. "Whatever". These people are probably just our confused teens and bus drivers, right? I mean, this is just an occasional indulgence!

This "furry culture" the article goes on about - the full fursuits and hugely-popular fucking international furcons - this is people donning entirely different bodies, taking on entirely different personalities, and trying like hell to make it real. I never realized this before, but it is a complete rejection of who you are. You leave your unspectacular human suit hunched over your computer desk, transform into a gigantic bipedal talking fox person, and only then can you be uninhibited enough to indulge in some measure of actual, real-life fun.

I can't think of any other group that goes this far to try and make their real selves into an abstract fantasy personas. The sheer scale of this kind of rejection of reality is impressive.

edit:

A study by Ms Gerbasi at one furry convention found about a quarter of the participants did not consider themselves 100% human.

Well you're judging an entire culture by the extreme, but yes there are a lot of those people out there.  The majority of so-called furries are probably more along the lines of otaku who just really like animals, though.
