As you know by now, the United States election was probably stolen. Protests have also begun spontaneously erupting in various cities across the US.
Start off by reading the very enlightening article Evidence Mounts That the Vote Was Hacked.
Then, have a look at the following page and follow the various links off it, at Protests in Ohio and Electoral Fraud. Also read Greg Palast’s Kerry Won.
To keep an eye on the growing anger and confusion from the anti-establishment side, see Indymedia US.
To see a 30-minute film that covers the basics of electronic ”voting” — as well as showing how, in just 90 seconds, the current US election software can be hacked to alter election results, go to VoterGate TV.
Gear change. Here’s a little glimpse, via the United Kingdom’s Telegraph newspaper, of just how insane and vicious the country next door to us is becoming. Read Zimbabwe Police Brainwashed with Anti-White Propaganda.
What constitutes accepted reality was altered a few days ago, with the announcement that the US Air Force has commissioned a report looking into ”psychic teleportation”. Read Yahoo News. To download the pdf file of the report itself, get it here.
On to the important things. Are you one of the many poor slob office workers who lead a Dilbert-like existence? Why not get into the nourishing and rewarding habit of getting up to sadistic pranks with your fellow workers? Send a colleague a Fake Termination Letter.
For a large collection of anti-consumerist-minded products for sale, ranging from Indian duck dung to tofu-fed beef and brain extractors, discover the joys of YD Industries.
So you’re a virgin. Do you keep quiet about it, hoping that one day the goat wearing suspenders that you secretly dream about will wander in and bleat at you seductively? Or do you make a website and put your photographs online for everyone to stare at? I think you know the answer already. Go look at Devirginise Marc!.
Naturally, the internet being what it is, we can take this ”virgin” thing a step further. Why just sit at home and have no one know you’re a virgin, when you can take part in competitions to have people decide if you’re a ”good-looking virgin”. Try Rate a Virgin!.
Alternatively, you could always just take yourself firmly in hand and try some Masturbation Addiction Counselling.
Despite what the mass media would have you believe, not everyone is driven towards trying to get laid or increasing their status with potential partners in order to have sex. For an interesting approach that effectively removes 90% of the basis of all advertising, as well as — given this country’s headlong fall into mass, sex-caused death and disease — a possibly viable alternative to sex, take some time to read The Celibate FAQ.
Yet more reasons why religion of any kind should — like porn films — have an age restriction. Watch the singularly howling and gleefully stupid joys of what happens when a deeply religious man decides to try to convert some rather unwilling lions to Christianity: Man Preaches at Lions.
Locally, what constitutes ”good” photographs seems to consist basically of pix of poor people, or pics of dead poor people about to be eaten by vultures. Go read this rather interesting photojournalist essay, which suggests that there might be more to life and photojournalism than what you’d assume from local media. Read Photojournalism from the Soul.
The concept of ”fashion” is probably one of the most bizarre, mindless and frankly stupid cons ever created by perfume companies to sell bits of fabric to the plebs with too much money. Here’s a site that cuts to the heart of the whole idea of ”designer clothing”. Go stare at the many photographs of People Modelling Toilet Paper.
You’ll probably have seen this list, via various e-mail forwardings — but for the film geeks among you, it’s still worth a look, in order to give you an idea of all the weird things that Hollywood movies seem to do over and over. Go read 20 Things That Only Happen in Movies.
History can be fun. It can also require a serious disclaimer pointing out that what we today see as racist, sexist or beyond, was once considered no big deal and ”normal”. With that said — and be warned there’s what we now call X-rated material lurking here — go discover some bits of history that the teacher never told you about, at Antique Weirdness.
I seem to be one of the few in the media here who is happy to say I-Pods are pretty stupid and a waste of money. My pointing out of the fact that it is a crap product is mainly due to the inflated prices for what is — in reality — not very much storage space at all. I routinely carry around a Nomad MP3 player in my pocket with 60 gigs of storage space. (That’s 60Â 000 megs of storage.) And you paid how much for your insanely insufficient storage-capacity I-Pod, just for the supposed status of having a ”name brand” product? You got ripped off.
Start your journey towards realising that Apple, as a company, is mostly just PR hype. Browse through Mac Sucks. Then dip into I Hate Apple. And for a brief but good read that might save you money, try I Hate the I-Pod.
Then, just to show that I’ll happily present both sides of the Mac vs PC debate, read the back-and-forth banter between Mac users themselves at Mac Forum Anti-Apple Campaign?.
Given the current rand-to-dollar rate, now’s the time to go online and browse for the goodies you want, bypassing the local industries completely — the local prices for most electronic goods are a blatant rip-off at best, and at worst the goods are overpriced, copycat junk electronics. Pick your poison at Amazon Electronics. To see the real prices for the products you want, use the Online Currency Converter.
Internet e-mail fraud is big business these days. People seem unable to tell the difference between real companies’ e-mails and fraudsters just ”phishing” for e-mail addresses. See if you can tell which of the e-mails in the following test are real or bogus: Phishing IQ Test.
Remember the Henry Root letters, where a prankster sent a variety of letters to well-known celebs and politicians and then recorded their responses? Well, here’s an online version of the same sort of prank in action. This site has tonnes of head-shaking replies from people who never saw the joke in the stupid e-mail sent to them. Go to Green Cats! Bothering People from Denmark to Brazil.
Need to waste some time? Of course you do. As well as being able to read millions of people’s online blogs, you can also browse through their photographs. Go look at Snaps Photoblogs.
Staying with photographs, why not browse through a range of highly regrettable pix that people put online of themselves, at Fugly. Or, to go about as far as I can go in a public medium such as this, with regard to the pix people take of themselves, try Send Me Your Wound!.
Comics time. Go look through the violent fun to be had at the Nihilist Glee Club Online Comics. Or, for comics with a high level of crudeness, you could always cautiously tiptoe towards Bif Comics!.
And then, for time-wasting of a wild kind. You know those moments when you have had far too much to drink and decide that re-enacting the Time Warp dance steps on a table seems like a good idea? Well, go stagger through the online collection of photographs of people caught when drunken. Try Shamings! The Olympics of Drunken Embarrassment.
Until the next time, if Apple doesn’t get me.
