Nothin' but linkspam

Officials fear 'massive' wildfire toll. But you can donate to the Australian Red Cross.

I think we need a pomster to cheer us up.

Holla, WHUT??? The Wachowskies to direct a Superman trilogy?

Holy hell, what has gotten into the Hollywood bigwigs?

And Hugh Jackman...*nom noms*

The new Bumblebee really doesn't look that much different than the old. More KITT like hood is all I see.

Heee. Icon love.

Thankee.

I didn't create it though. ;)

In regards to the bushfires, I wonder if I could turn your attention to this: http://e-chan-21.livejournal.com/80596

It's a journal entry written by my brother, writer Andrew Hutchinson about my eldest brother Ben. Ben has lost everything in the Kinglake fires but refuses to leave the town while there is still recovery work to be done.

There are other entries in my lj about the bushfires, but I find that Andrew's entry pretty much sums things up.

Linkie no work. :(

Thank you for letting me know. Here is the proper link: http://e-chan-21.livejournal.com/80596.html

Sure, I'll put it in tomorrow's linkspam.

Don't know if anyone else has given you something similar, but here are some links for charitable organisations helping injured and displaced animals from the fires that are in desperate need of donations.

RSPCA Victoria

Triple R Equine Welfare Inc (scroll to the bottom for the 'donate' button)

Animal Aid

Wildlife Rescuers

WRAP - Wildlife Rescue and Protection Inc

Healesville Sanctuary

Also, ABC forums have an excellent list of Things you can do to help, including donations of money, but also listing donations of time from skilled volunteers (such as electricians), temporary housing, blood donations and donations of non-perishable food and clothing.

Parody snark version, not that it takes much.

Holy God. It's a circle with a wavy line, people. Are we sure someone didn't just make this up? If it is real, I'm never buying Pepsi again, out of a desire to not waste money on stupid people.

I hang out with marketing people. And no, not career college drunks who got their diploma because it was an easy course, but professionals who've studied economics, psychology, and anthropology disciplines.

The Pepsi memo may be a exaggerated spin, but not really surprising. The proposals marketing people do to sell a point to their clients verge on brain-breaking.

I totally want to see No Heroics but I don't see how that will play in the U.S.
