The Polar Bears almost made me lose the Will to Vid. My God. It took that whole zoo thing to the next level, and beautifully. This is one of those vids I want to show to the creators/actors, and say: "This is fandom."

I haven't watched that much Due South (I just saw some episodes when it was on TNT), but that polar bear vid was quite good. かわいい、ね。うん、食べたい！ You must reach this level of greatness.

That article on sexual orientation was very interesting. And disturbing. I don't see how a scientist could be that (seemingly) arrogant in his interpretations, with what was involved. Especially since now it's pretty well established that both nature and nurture are involved, not just one or the other. To think that the interviews in such were still happening in 1997...

Perhaps I will reach this level of greatness in time. Much time.

The interviews were happening in 1997, but the main events happened in the 1970s, so maybe they weren't all as enlightened as you, you little scientist boy. Also, back then nature vs. nurture was a big moral and political issue so it was probably a polemical environment. But still. That doctor making the brothers get naked with each other and trying to reproduce Freud's "natural exploration" was FUCKED UP.

Ohh, so you know who I am then? I thought I was anonymous...

All the psychiatrists from the 70s did things of questionable ethics... like the guy who tested to see if people would "kill" someone on the command of an authority figure. Good results, horribly traumatized subjects.

Re: Random Commentry

So they would kill on command? Were they threatened or just intimidated by the aura of authority?

The infamous Stanford Prison Experiment was in the 1970s, too.

Oh, John. Yes, you're so anonymous.

Okay. But still, Clark. In a stripclub? Not hopped up on Red K? This intrigues me.

Dude, not only was John/Joan an incredible fuck-up on the part of the psyc community but it was so screwy got turned into a Law and Order: SVU episode. One of the "ripped from the headlines" ones where they have to put the disclaimer at the beginning about "not representing actual people" so Dick Wolf doesn't get sued. Hah. Maybe if I *ever* have time again, I'll find the ep on TV.com so you can see I'm not lying.

Oh television. I love how they can totally get away with bastardizing true stories.
