Proof that the semantic web is not quite there yet...

Gah! Why oh why does youtube think I want to see all of the pro-prop8 commercials? And why oh why do I keep clicking when it 'suggests' one? I'm having enough trouble concentrating at work, I don't need to be frothing a the mouth over this crap anymore.

That said, if you feel like getting your indignation on, this one is like a fine layer-cake of offensiveness on multiple levels


Aw heck, while I'm wasting time posting, here are two (totally unrelated to the above) links I found earlier this week that were nifty enough to pass along:

http://www.cracked.com/article_16871_6-insane-discoveries-that-science-cant-explain.html

http://www.cracked.com/article_16868_6-deadliest-creatures-that-can-fit-in-your-shoe.html


Warning: cracked.com should be renamed crack.com. Those lists can be hard to stop reading.

Not only can science explain the Antikythera mechanism, but scientists have managed to build a working reproduction of it. Behold video evidence!

That first commercial... hahahaha "The real meaning of marriage is BABIES! Forget love, BAAAAABIES!"

My favorite part was where the dads' solution to their daughter asking questions about a different lifestyle was trying to keep her away from them so they can pretend it doesn't exist.

My mind tries to cope with the notion of the people who made this not choking on their own hypocrisy and instead it just dies a little. =:(

Argh. WHY did I click that? *facedesk* I can't even find where to start in all the haze of wrong and fail.

...shit, why did I click the last link, too? I'll now go be fetal thinking about the Deathstalker Scorpion...

Favorite quote of the article:

Will I Be Alright? It's called the fucking deathstalker. What do you think?


As for the video... yeah. If only these people lived on another planet literally instead of just figuratively. =:(

No, because then they'd used planet-sized shotguns (e.g. Death Star) to blow up our planet of tree-hugging, pinko, sodomite, God-hating liberals.

Bleh.
