*shrug* He said he's not going to release any more albums, and if he sticks to his word on that, I'm willing to bet that, once people who like his music have already bought/torrented all that they want, he's going to see a bit of a decline in income.

So hey, this is fun! www.no2nuclearpower.org.uk/Chernobyl-UK.phpAn interactive map, where you can click on individual nuclear power stations, and see how much of the UK would have to be permanently evacuated if the same responses were put in place after a Chernoyble sized nuclear incident. Did I say fun? I meant terrifying. Its from a fairly rabid anti-nuclear site, so I take it with a grain of salt, but still... flashbacks to being a Cold War kid terrified of spontaneous nuclerar annihilation. Good times. Wasn't Chernobyl's incident due to complete idiocy, though? I mean, as long as you don't have...idiots...in charge...oh god we're all fucking screwed. Nah but yeah that's fucking scary.

"I'm too HIP for you losers to buy my music." Doesn't he have HIP problems? I dunno, but I'm willing to bet he'll soon have CASH FLOW problems. Oh, CWC, how versatile your idiocy is...

No, you twit, honey's mainstream. Tch, posers. And Canada's too awesome to be a bony little emo poser, unlike certain other countries. No, Candia's the fat emo teenager who can't get laid. For the last time, I'm NOT a teenager, I'm NOT emo, and I'm NOT Canada! God damn! I am about as hairy as Sister Canada, though, so I can see the confusion.

...why do I get the sudden urge to steal a couple of eggs and go make some brownies?
I love Cracked. At one point, I got lost in their website for a couple of days. Those damned little "related articles" links...just one more...one more article...one...more...
Random, but as someone who dislikes pot, alcohol, and tobacco, my mom's for them legalizing pot thanks to the alcohol/tobacco argument-- "either make them all illegal or make them all legal, and let's get on with the important issues dammit".

I'd do it, but I'm not an attractive fat, I'm one of those "holy shit I didn't know fat could EXIST there" fatties.

I was gonna giggle, but then I remembered the old woman who had a kid with her grandson, and the laughter died in my throat. Is that where he didn't know about her until later and they reunited and fell in love or some crap? Yeup. And while I'm quite aware that this isn't an uncommon or inexplicable phenomenon (that is, children who're adopted out eventually meeting and falling madly in love with their sibling/parent/grandparent/uncle or aunt/etc. due to not having had reverse sexual imprinting or something) IT'S STILL ICKY for me. ...or should I say, especially for me, because if I were attracted to my grandmother I'd basically be attracted to my older self (I'm a dead ringer for her younger self, and people keep saying we look alike).

(re: contrarian, contrarian) You're not doing your fellow countrymen any favors in the eyes of the USA (or anyone else) by being a flame-baiting jerk. Eh? We don't give a rats if the bloke was spawned here, you guys still have Above Athletics AND Skyfire! Mel Gibson and Rupert Murdoch didn't do us any favors either and America bloody well adopted 'em! HEY. HEY. NO. Please don't say their names, it'll summon them.

Don't forget, Runa-- a heterosexual WASP. At least that's how it is in the Southern US, I dunno about Australia.

LHM, I think it's safe to say that kids who fall outside of the 'norm' like to have someone similar to them to whom they can look for inspiration, especially when kids who fall outside of said 'norm' tend to be treated like something less than, well, the 'norm'.
I mean, I'm white, so I can't speak to personal connection as far as Hispanic or black history, but when I started finding out about what females have contributed to society alongside their male counterparts, I started to realize that it doesn't matter if you have a dick or not.
Similarly, when I found out that queer folk have gone down in history as great inventors and leaders and artists and scientists, it made me feel just the teeniest bit better about my 'affliction' (the gravely named likesboobiesitis; it's fatal if left untreated, as sufferers tend to snap and run off to suffocate in the nearest pair of mammaries available).
So I'm just coming at it from that viewpoint. Yes, I'd LOVE if everyone could ignore sex, skin color, gender, orientation, eye color, and whatever the hell else, but that's not the world we live in, and if this will help 'normalize' homosexuality in the minds of the following generations, more power to it.
