Quite simply really. This is a place for people to post news articles so that they can discussed.

It will be a repository of human information. A MONUMENT to mans desire to keep informed and discuss the goings-ons with his intellectual peers. An open vault of knowledge so that all can share in the wealth of information inside!

Don't be intimidated, dive strait in to this rich pool of the current events of our time!

Here's a story about a man who tried to steal live lobsters and shrimp by stuffing them down his pockets and threw a pork loin at the police when they attempted to apprehend him.

Truly, a story that explores the very depth of human nature if ever their was one. Truly.

Going to keep this crustacean theme going with Crazy Crab's discussion of censorship in China!

Nice little nod to George Orwell's Animal Farm as well as Gary Larson's The Far Side comic. and also a reminder that China is still something of a totalitarian state.

Just in time for Black History month!

We must not forget those blacks still in bondage....Like Orcas!

“Tilikum, Katina, Kasatka, Ulises and Corky have been captive and subjected to treatment that we feel is slavery,” Kerr told U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Miller, who is now weighing SeaWorld’s request to toss the case, the Los Angeles Times reported.
“We’re talking about hell unleashed,” The San Francisco Chronicle quoted SeaWorld attorney Theodore Shaw as saying. “Neither orcas nor any other animal were included in the ‘We the people’ … when the Constitution was adopted.”
“This is truly a historic day for the law and for the animals,” spokesman David Perle said. Kerr added that “for the first time in our nation’s history, a federal court heard arguments as to whether living, breathing, feeling beings have rights and can be enslaved simply because they happen to not have been born human.”

Those hoping for animals being freed in-mass will have to be patient, the Judge already tossed it out.

THE UNDEAD DRIVE AMONG US!

But not very well.

Sgt. Greg Stewart said people who witnessed the crash initially thought the victims' injuries were much more serious, because of the zombie costumes.

"Oh god, so much blood! ...oh, it's just corn syrup."

Q: What do fruit flies and mice have in common?

Answer (spoiler alert): Alcoholism.

That's right, and god bless the BBC for alerting the public.

Do you ever get the feeling sometime people release news articles just because they can make a pun?

Case and point.

I remember Bourdain getting into it with the food network people a while back. Deen, especially.

I think he finally let up, but it's weird that nature would step up and say "Haters gonna make some good points."

Deen, on the other hand, is using her newly announced type -2 diabetes to promote a new anti-diabetes pill while still cooking her diabetes causing food.

Stay classy, Paula.

Mother, son charged in theft of $2M in toys nationwide.

It's simply amazing how much money you can rack up through theft. They're just opening boxes of cheap stuff and putting expensive stuff in it and somehow they managed to steal $2M worth of inventory.

That's impressive.

Ace Rimmer · 2012-08-13 15:35:36

The sad thing is that could've made an interesting movie if it weren't for them trying to trademark the name of the holiday itself.

Justice4243 · 2013-05-10 21:57:59

I think they're still making the movie, they just realized they need to call it something else if they want to trademark it.

ProfessorGator · 2013-05-10 21:59:52

Huh. I thought they said they weren't making it at all because of the backlash.

Then again, I did hear this on tumblr, so...

Justice4243 · 2013-05-10 22:03:24

According to the article I posted:

On Tuesday, Disney said it was no longer seeking a "Dia de los Muertos" trademark request because the film's name will change before its release.

I think the picture on the article about sums it all up.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-05-23 15:04:42

When I first read that, I had precisely that reaction. But given the parameters set up, it sounds more like an under-the-table way for the publishers of the original content to make more money off their work in the manner of novelisations or AU/EU fiction in some franchises.

Still...

I do not think that this is going to end well.

Justice4243 · 2013-05-23 15:05:49

It'll be interesting to see what the approval process is like.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-05-23 15:08:02

Indeed.

To be frank I'm disappointed he didn't think of just resuming aboveground nuclear weapons testing. Two birds with one stone: We intimidate the Soviets, and the fallout strengthens our children's teeth
