Why I hate the media

All from ab: There are many reasons that I hold the media in very low regard and "headlines" are one of them. I have no doubt that the globe is warming. I have no doubt that we are trashing this planet with our materials and our general overpopulation. However, these story headlines easily could have read something like this: Ice melting trend improves. or "This year better than last" but no, every headline regarding global warming must augment the fear of global catastrophy.

This is why the internet is awesome

Blog detailing the building of a supercar... out of wood. And not just the outer shell - pretty much everything but the engine. I recommend going to the beginning and reading forward. -hendred

It's on like Donkey Kong

Anonymous Fox news spokesperson attacks Stewart for attacking Fox.

Jon Stewart ripped Fox News, saying the network’s “‘fair and balanced’ slogan is an insult ‘to people with brains’” and that “Barack Obama could cure cancer and they’d figure out a way to frame it as an economic disaster.”

The moron from Fox came back with some ridiculous ad-hominem garbage about the Oscars. I can only assume he's one of the writers for Disaster Movie.

Where'd those pics come from?

I read this story a week or so ago about how a guy opened his new iPhone and found pictures on it. Turns out the pictures were from the factory of the woman who was making the phone. The follow up is that she was somehow not fired. (The jump contains the pictures) All from miolla.

Thousands of yinzers in mourning...

Boot brings us this: The best opening paragraph from a car-review for the 2010 Camaro

Attention, IROC-Z enthusiasts: the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro will not be available with your beloved T-top. If this is hugely disappointing, well, it may finally be time to put on a shirt with a collar, sell your Skynyrd CDs, and scissor the mullet.

College presidents want to lower the drinking age

No doubt just to make their job easier. But whatever the reason, I fully support it. The drinking age of 21 is such a ridiculous double standard.

Two thoughts from this article.

1) The article doesn't give any credit towards things like improved safety in vehicles (like air bags) in its reference to the decrease in drunk drivers age 16-20

2) Apparently The Univ of Rhode Island is a horrible, horrible place to go to school OR work. I can imagine alcohol is one of the few things that would make the faculty events tolerable.

jb forgot the link, so I'll offer this one for the time being. -decked

UPDATE: Here's the link.
