Michael Jackson’s estate upset by moonwalking zombie
Idiots. They’re irritated that a MJ zombie, dressed in Thriller attire, is moonwalking his happy ass across games screens. Something about the fact that he looks TOO much like The King of Pop.
Hello? Thriller…zombies…
Someone needs a check-up from the neck up. This was an AWESOME part of the game, and *I* will NOT be running the patch.

Having worked in a corporate office, the sad truth is that this DOES happen sometimes. The sender doesn’t realize that they’ve copied the email recipients in the TO: field instead of the CC: field.
Shit happens.
Since WoW uses your email address as your account name, and if you’re sending in complaints about privacy, should you really use your MAIN email address ? Instead of, oh – say, GMAIL?

I’m a legal American citizen and I must show my ID when:
- Pulled over by the police.
- Making purchases on my department store credit card.
- When I show up for a doctor’s appointment.
- When filling out a credit card or loan application.
- When applying for or renewing a driver’s license or passport.
- When applying for any kind of insurance.
- When filling out college applications.
- When donating blood.
- When obtaining certain prescription drugs.
- When making some debit purchases, especially if I’m out of state.
- When collecting a boarding pass for airline or train travel.
I’m sure there are more instances, but the point is that we citizens of the U.S.A. are required to prove who we are nearly every day.
Why should people in this country illegally, be exempt?
For that matter, perhaps the liberals can answer the question: Why shouldn’t we guard our borders as closely as every other country in the world does?
And while I’m at it…
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in a God of SOME kind. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having ‘In G-d We Trust’ on our money and having ‘G-d’ in the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under G-d, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!
For the record, I am not a member of any “organized” religion, and I support having G-d in both the Pledge of Allegiance AND on our money.
Ohmm. Ohmm. Ohmm.

Quran doesn’t call for stoning, experts insist
and
Iran to review woman’s stoning sentence
My original post here.
Quick rundown: woman lashed 99 times for alleged adultery. She confessed to being an adulteress to stop the lashing. She later recants and claims she did it to stop the pain/punishment. Court doesn’t care, sentences her to death by stoning. HUGE public relations nightmare ensues. Court agrees to review the case.
She is only one of a number of women accused of adultery, sentenced to stoning. There were six women stoned since 2006.
One article mentions that the stoning may be changed to hanging.
I’m still against it. She didn’t take a life. She does not deserve to die. She’s been in jail since 2006. I feel four years for an alleged horizontal dance is beyond enough.

Lindsay Lohan in Court Live … and Jail’s an Option (TMZ)
Witness: Lohan missed 9 weekly counseling sessions (CNN)
Oh shut UP, with the fake tears.
You screwed up. Admit it. Take your lumps.
Note to Judge Revel: PLEASE send her arse to jail. Teach her that disobeying the law so she can party, travel and drink will NOT fly.
~watergirl~
UPDATE: 90 days jailtime
Additionally, 90-day inpatient rehab immediately following jailtimem and she must meet with a physician to determine alcohol or drug consumption as detrimental.
The judge originally ordered her to surrender today, 07/06/10 for jail processing but she caved to letting LiLo fly until July 20, 2010 (two weeks).
Well, it was ALMOST a good day. Celebs are NOT immune and Judge Revel did a passing job at letting LiLo know it.

Activist: Iranian mother of two to be stoned to death
She was accused of adultery by her husband (a common accusation by men wishing to get out of a marriage). She was lashed 99 times, and admitted guilt to stop the lashing. She has since recanted her admission, but the “supreme court” refuses to discuss the matter. There were no witnesses to prove adultery.
She can be stoned to death at any time, according to the law.
Unbelievable. The only words that come to mind right now are vicious enough that posting them here is more vitriolic than I can tolerate at the moment.

Ruling: Cleveland teachers needn’t reapply
An arbitrator ruled that more than 600 Cleveland public school teachers won’t have to reapply for their jobs.
Go, unions.
Personally, I feel all teachers should have to re-apply every 5 years or so. Or go through a “continuing education” course, such as paramedics and emergency medical personnel have to do.
It keeps people’s wit sharp and education up to date.

Ok, so I don’t normally post about whatever wonky stuff I’m watching on tv. However, I’ve been a bit peckish ever since last night’s So You Think You Can Dance episode and I just can’t seem to get it off my mind.
I’ll be up-front: I think Melinda should have been sent home last week, ignoring the fact that I don’t feel she even deserved to be in the show, to begin with. Having said that, my blood is STILL boiling-ish over what Mia Michaels said to and about Melinda.
Last week, Nigel wanted to vote Melinda gone, but Mia and Adam wanted her to stay and sent Cristina home. This week, it’s painfully obvious Melinda is struggling.
So, in front of x millions of viewers and y hundreds of members of a live audience, Mia tells Melinda that they sent the wrong girl home last week. Adam agreed, making sure to rub that salt in firmly.
Mia: It’s called “constructive criticism”. I’m not saying lie or sugar coat. I’m saying don’t be such an out-and-out BITCH. Humiliation is neither necessary nor appreciated by the viewers, and I can’t even begin to imagine how Melinda felt. Shame on you, Mia. You were once young and inexperienced (or perhaps less formally trained, is the proper phrasing). Shame on you. Last night, on the 06/30/10 airing, you were little more than a schoolyard bully.
It almost makes me wish that loudmouthed, spastic, overtanned screaming shrew Mary Murphy were back. Her voice and screaming always made me want to stab small, furry things (stuffed animals, thank you very much!) but at least I could mute her when she was going off the bend and when she DID give criticism, it was tempered with positive notes and reinforcement. She told them what was off and how to work on it, even when she really didn’t like the routine.
Ad while we’re here..I really dislike the new format this season. Let’s take this point by point, shall we?
- By only allowing 10 (oopsie! we’re going to make it 11 because we just oh-so-love Billy Bell – /gag) into the finals for the show, they crushed (more so than usual) the hopes and dreams of 10 wonderful dancers.
- They announce that only 10 dancers (5 girls, 5 guys) will be allowed in the competition this year, putting extra freak-out mojo to everyone during auditions.
- Then, for not discernable reason, they change it to 5 girls and 6 guys. I still don’t quite know why Billy Bell was allowed in. It begs the question, why did they then NOT even the playing field and add a sixth girl?
- The chosen 11 pair up each week with a random-from-a-hat “All Star”, who by virtue of their training and abilities have a tendency to overpower the actual contestants’ moves and skills.
And lest I forget: someone for the love of all the merciless and unholy Gnomish gods, PLEASE teach that stupid Cat Deeley:
- how to dress in something other than a JiffyPop foil or potato sack
- short skirts + raised stage = nightmares
- how to freaking pronounce names ending in an “ah” sound, such as America, Melinda, Cristina, etc. She’s better at it this year than ever before, but goddamn, woman! Show the performers the basic respect of pronouncing their NAMES properly!
Oh, and Nigel? Less tooth-whitening on those chicklets, my man. In case of a power blackout, the man could simply smile and light up several counties at once.

Note: As I am no longer able to dance, I am an armchair-dancer. You have your football and are allowed to be an armchair-quarterback. I don’t invade your living-room-cum-locker-room. As such, kindly get the hell out of my bedroom-cum-dance show. 
Hrm. Bedroom dance show.
Thought derail ahead. Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!
Secondary note: do not email or message me about the use of “cum”. It’s (mostly) proper English. Taken from Dictionary.com
cum
–preposition
with; combined with; along with (usually used in combination): My garage-cum-workshop is well equipped.
