Fun Time Wasting Poo for 30 May to 5 June 2011...

[ariestess]

So I got REALLY behind on the fun time wasting poo posts. Like 6 weeks behind. And I kept sayiing I'd get caught up, but never did. Then I made an executive decision and just decided to delete all of the oldest stuff. I deleted a grand total of 260 links. There are 41 below. I still have another week's worth of links to do for this past week to be completely caught up. I'll probably work on that tomorrow. But here you go...

  zOMG! This is so fucking AWESOME!!! I need to find a copy of this song to put into my writing playlist...

  I would love to see the full documentary, as this trailer has totally fascinated me...

• Jane Lynch to Host "63rd Primetime Emmy Awards" Airing Sunday, Sept. 18, 2011.
  Woot! I will SO be watching if she's hosting. Otherwise, I really just don't give much of a crap anymore for the Emmys... *shrugs*
  
  
• USDA testing finds 30-plus unapproved pesticides on the herb cilantro
  This is just absolutely terrifying...
  
  
• Pink Gives Birth to Baby Girl!
  And they gave her a normal name! Willow Sage Hart. Such a pretty name!
  
  
• Google to abandon older browsers
  *shakes head* Y'know, there ARE people out there who can't afford newer machines to run the newer browsers and things. So basically Google wants them to not have this resource? I mean, I DO understand that running multipe technology levels can be a complete nightmare. I GET that. But still... Then again, I remember how much Sprint pushed for people to get rid of the OOOOOOOLD Nextel phones, but people were stubborn and really liked those phones because they were sturdy and reliable...
  
  
• God Is Not a Christian
  I REALLY like this article. I don't agree 100% with everything he says, but I really like it. Because God ISN'T a Christian. God is ALL religions. End of story. And those religions you don't like? Just remember that, by a clever little bit of fate, you could have believed in one of them and hated YOUR religion. Food for thought, y'all...
  
  
• HIV patient Timothy Brown is the boy who lived
  This is such a fantastic, uplifting, miraculous story! I'll totally support Mr. Brown as "the boy who lived" over Harry Potter ANY day.
  
  
• Home Depot to American Family Ass.: take a hike, we support gay causes
  Woohoo for Home Depot! And you know what? If it weren't for the proximity factor, we'd be shopping more regularly at Home Depot than at Lowe's. Tho we only automatically go to Lowe's when it's a quick, last minute thing. Otherwise, we check out both places and buy accordingly.
  
  
• Ke$ha's New Catchy/Sexist/Transphobic/Icky Song
  Is THIS what they're calling feminism these days? If it is, I don't want it. This is a fucking disgusting song and Ke-Dollar Sign-Ha is no longer on my list of "singers to enjoy". Then again, I only like the one song because Glee did it. Otherwise? Don't give a shit...
  
  
• Bank of America Gets Pad Locked After Homeowner Forecloses On It

• The Big Bird manifesto: TV's left-wing messages
  gacked from a fellow fuhqer .. Ummm... Whut? So all television is indoctrinating American children to be left-wing thinkers? Fan-fucking-tastic! My favorite bit in this is the following line...hit shows such as Macgyver are not immune as Shaprio claims it encourages Americans to think guns are bad

• GOP says Obama's healthy lunch effort too costly
  gacked from
  talon .. So let me get this straight. The GOP cares more about money and rules than proper nutrition for children? Now the fact that this is cutting money from the WIC program DOES bother me. That program is just as important as the school lunch program. Maybe I'm missing something in the overall setup here, but shouldn't we be more worried about what our kids are eating?

• Why the Right has it wrong on the "sexualisation of children"
  Sexism sucks. Restricting sexual education is bullshit. Children are going to be curious. Isn't it better than they have an idea of what could happen than just have the blind leading the blind? Besides, children should be children. There shouldn't be any clothes of a sexy nature geared toward children in the first damned place.
