Got my tix with celerywench for Hawks @ Flyers preseason game! Tragically, the regular season tickets for the Caps are ridiculously expensive all the time (thanks a lot, Ovie) and Flyers aren't much better. Still hoping to go to a few DC or Philly games throughout the season, though, spread out for the sake of my budget. Canes tickets are way more affordable

RECSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

why is it "@"? have fun!

FUDDDDDDD. IT'S GUDDDDDDDDD. jesus i should stop.

also, whilst we're talking about porn (by which I mean Sterek), I think you might find this funny.

[meiface]

Hawks are playing at Flyers (so Philly home game), therefore "@". Sports convention is home team always comes second, so Hawks v. Flyers could as easily be read Hawks @ Flyers. If they were playing in Chicago, the order would be flipped!

I will reserve that link re: porn for when I am not on a work computer hahaha.

[forochel]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

hahaha oh, it's not porn, it's about a law suit the UK prosecutor's court (or whatever) is bringing against some dude for having porn on his computer. they're trying to ... make fisting illegal? it's pretty hilarious.

[meiface]

...EW. LAW.

I mean, I'll read it later, haha.

[forochel]

haha it just seemed like a really cracky thing to be debated in court. just imagining all these be-wigged and be-robed lawyers standing around a courtroom saying things like "your honour, fisting might hurt someone's arm" (an actual argument) fills me with delight. I hope the judge strikes that down with a beautifully worded judgement of awesome.

(also, jsyk, whenever I see your lj name -- not the username -- I get filled with this warm fuzzy sense of pride.)

WELL IT IS WEIRD TO WEAR CATS ON YOUR HEAD lolol.

Yeah, the courts get to debate a lot of fun stuff, especially re: obscenity and copyright, because you have to argue what's ~art~ and what's not, including things like "Enchilada Barbie".

It's awesome when the judges write cheeky opinions though. Sometimes those old men still have a sense of humor!

[forochel]

I should ... probably ... flesh the story out? GOD, PROCRASTINATION.

what on earth is enchilada barbie and do I really want to know what it is.

IT'S THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE LEFT!!!!!!

[meiface]

It's worksafe to Google! Disturbing in the art way though. Or you could read this article, which basically sums it up: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2011/01/how-fair-use-brought-us-vcrs-copiersand-nude-barbie-enchiladas/

[forochel]

...okay, so that's disturbing more in a sexist way than anything else. guh, I really hate ~shock art~ or whatever it's called.

[meiface]

IT WAS ALL A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT.

No, I think a lot of stuff could be argued for art or parody or whatnot and I fully support fair use (hello, fandom), even the shock art or whatever, though it is not my favorite. There is value in the shock value, but sometimes I feel like that's the cheaper way of making your point and not as creative. BUT WHAT DO I KNOW.

[forochel]

TRIGGERS, THOUGH!!

also I agree with you! and, like, idk - I feel like shock art has a huge huge margin of error and tendency to completely miss its mark. like that thing with the sexist and racist cake thing in sweden with the culture minister and the female genital mutilation? IDK I JUST THINK IT'S SUPER CRUDE. I ALSO THINK THAT CRACK IN THE FLOOR IN THE TATE IS JUST SUPER MEANINGLESS. so, yeah, what do I know when it's ~*~art~*~

[meiface]

For shock art? Yeah, I don't think the artists care. Real life generally not so good with providing the trigger warnings.

Ugh idk, I am just bad at art. And deepness. ALL I WANNA READ IS SILLY PRETEND BOYFRIENDS RIGHT NOW aasdlkgjlds. Sigh.

[forochel]

WELL IT (real life) SHOULD BE. I just feel like they're undercutting the point they're trying to make by playing the ~shock value~ card and not taking into account the hurt caused to actual victims. idk, I think there's got to be more socially responsible ways of using art to make people think.

I LOVE PRETEND BOYFRIENDS! \o/ There is an element of that in the NaruSasu HS AU I was telling you about!
