insignificant thoughts

I’ve seen two out of the four videos and they have nothing to do with the somewhat seductive titles, but if YouTube really wants to keep things safe and family friendly, is this really what they should be featuring?

Again, I’ve seen the Justine and Ray William Johnson vids, and neither are as salacious as the [...]

I’ve always said analysts are full of crap, and the ones you pay are even moreso.

I’m a big fan of Om Malik. I read a few of the GigaOm blogs and trust what he has to say. That doesn’t mean, however, that he gets it right all the time, and sometimes he makes [...]

Let me get this out of the way up front and immediately: I don’t necessarily think Michael Jackson actually molested any kids. Do I think it’s possible? Of course I do, but I haven’t believed it and I’m not going to start now. Now that we’ve gotten the disclaimer that will indefinitely [...]

My first word was dating. Check hers out…

Is she hinting? I wonder…

I really don’t understand why people do this…

Details of the deaths of pro wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son may seem “a little bizarre” when released to the public, a prosecutor said.

Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects outside [...]

A mother of two who reportedly ran a dominatrix dungeon in her Gallows Hill, Boston basement is facing a prostitution charge after allegedly agreeing to perform a sex act on an undercover detective.

I’m sorry but I just don’t buy that people could be this stupid…

Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Governmentbacked study has revealed.

It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial.

There is also resistance to tackling the [...]

I had a story here a few weeks ago about a City Manager in Florida who was ready to take the plunge and become a woman. As it turns out, he was fired for job performance-related issues.

No, I’m not kidding.

After a six-hour hearing, the commissioners decided to fire 48-year-old Steve Stanton after his announcement [...]

Not good news for Bono and Product(RED):

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AdAge.com) — It’s been a year since the first Red T-shirts hit Gap shelves in London, and a parade of celebrity-splashed events has followed: Steven Spielberg smiling down from billboards in San Francisco; Christy Turlington striking a yoga pose in a New Yorker ad; Bono cruising Chicago’s [...]

It would appear that something weird went on in this case, but I don’t really think it’s as cut and dry as it first appears…

IT CAME IN the mail – the old-fashioned mail with an envelope and stamp delivered to a box outside your home or through a slot in your door – and sounded [...]

Bush says that a British pullout from Iraq is a good thing because it’s a sign of progress, he also says that an American pullout is cut ‘n run, and an escalation in American troops is needed because there hasn’t been enough progress.

I’d say that just about covers it. Well put, Stageleft.

This is the kind of story you expect to find in Mad Magazine…

Dixson Sr. was 90 when he died on January 30, 2004. He’s best known for co-writing hits like “Lollipop,” recorded by the Chordettes, and “Begging, Begging,” recorded by James Brown.

On January 16, 2004, the elderly Dixson had surgery at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital at [...]

Richard: having cancer is important to THAT ONE PERSON. Intel chips change the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Glad to see you understand news value. But, now, I understand why so many people buy those grocery store gossip magazines. Next you’ll try to tell me that what Paris Hilton isn’t wearing matters to [...]

I don’t know what this is about, really. Patches has this weird thing she does. She sucks on her tail and kneads it with her paws like she’s nursing. Do any of you have any idea what this is about? Is it normal? Is it something I should be concerned about?

It really started right after 9/11. Then again, that’s probably most likely when I noticed it and it was happening much longer than that.

Many after 9/11 wanted to know what we did to bring 9/11 upon ourselves. To a degree, that’s a good valid question, but when pushed to the extreme it’s almost [...]

Steve Centanni’s comments upon his release from captivity were, to say the least, odd…

“We were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint,” Centanni told FOX News. “Don’t get me wrong here. I have the highest respect for Islam, and I learned a lot of good things about it, but it was something we felt we [...]

Sometimes, WTF is all you can really say…

BOMBAY, India – The owner of a restaurant named after Adolf Hitler said Thursday he will change its name because it angered so many people.

Puneet Sablok said he would remove Hitler’s name and the Nazi swastika from billboards and the menu. He had said the restaurant’s name — [...]
