SATC2 Sounds Like a Terrible Movie

Clipped from: www.thestranger.com by clp.ly
 
From the Lindy West's review in the Stranger:

We've been thinking it for two long years. All of us. Gnawing our cheeks at night, clutching at sweaty sheets, our faces hollow and gray, our once-bright eyes dimmed by the pain of too many questions. Sometimes we cry out, en masse, to a faceless god and a cold, indifferent universe that holds its secrets close. What... rasps the death rattle of our collective sanity. What is the lubrication level of Samantha Jones's 52-year-old vagina? Has the change of life dulled its sparkle? Do its aged and withered depths finally chafe from the endless pounding, pounding, pounding—cruel phallic penance demanded by the emotionally barren sexual compulsive from which it hangs? If I do not receive an update on the deep, gray caverns of Jones, I shall surely die!
 Read the review- it's better than the movie.

"Everything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You in a Google Search"

 
New Rule: Before running for office, politicians must be informed of their rights: that "Everything you say can and will be used against you in a Google search." Now, of course, we all embellish our resumes a little. In college, I described my job of pot dealer as "regional sales associate for a large multi-national firm." But we just had the fifth anniversary of YouTube and the twelfth of Google, and between them, they're killing off a great institution: lying. You just can't lie anymore -- facts are too easy to check, everything is on video, and your wife put a GPS in your glove compartment. Our privacy is gone, our Internet conversations are forever. I even have reason to believe I'm being recorded right now...

Did anybody think cyclists weren't doping?

Clipped from: www.nytimes.com by clp.ly
 I'm shocked, shocked to hear this ...

Floyd Landis has sent e-mail messages to several cycling officials in the United States and in Europe in which he admits using performance-enhancing drugs for most of his career.

Censorship: Know it when you see it?


Why does porn cause organizations to tie themselves in such knots? First Apple tries to keep the iPhone/iPad pure (completely ignoring the fact that you can surf the web on them) then Wikipedia self destructs because Fox Noise noticed porn on their servers.

As a result of this Wales has relinquished his top level control over the encyclopedia's content. He can no longer add, delete, edit or do anything to a posting. This same release of control was also done across the parent company's other projects as well.

One source told Fox News that Wales had the highest level of control, "he was our leader." Now the source reports that when asked who is in charge, “No one. It’s chaos.”
