And finally, something that I thought i heard something about it before, but now it’s coming to market: condoms with a Viagara type gel inside. No reason to not be safe!
I’ve seen this before, but never with this much of a demo. We knew it was only a matter of time:
This is an NYT article about a cool service connecting kids to useful accurate sex ed (text messaging, of course). However, here’s the really scary sentence:
Sex education is a thorny subject for most school systems; only 13 states specify that the medical components of the programs must be accurate.
I don’t ever know how to react to that. Rage? Disbelief? Do I cry or laugh, I just freaking don’t know.
And speaking of craziness and sex, did you know that Louie Vuitton (I remember in my advertising class, being one of two guys, and we both had to ask who that was), makes condoms. And they cost $68 each.
Banksy has done a sculpture, this time, to remember the victims of the abuse of the Catholic church. It’s an awesome piece, entitled Cardinal Sin.
Also across the pond, the Louvre is going to be offering a program where people can use their 3DS’s to take tours. Pretty awesome!

And just for fun, forgot to add this graphic:
Remember, voting is every American’s right. There shouldn’t be roadblocks to it (take for instance, the Iowa Republican caucuses, which have no ID requirements like those proposed around the country, although apparently in Virginia, you have to sign an oath saying you’ll vote Republican in the general election).
That’s it for this update, but I’ll be back with more soon!
Another update for everyone, but first some quick site news. I tried installing an extension that will work with GoodReads, but so far, it has not worked yet. I’ll keep working on it, see if I c an get it to work. Also, Joomla 1.6 was just released, I’ll probably be upgrading sometime in the next month or so. It will probably take me a little bit to get everything back to normal, so the site will probably be down for a weekend or so.

Here’s some retro/cold war style video game posters, I like this one a lot:
Couple things for everyone real quick before I get back to work. Firstly, Mika sings the title track from the upcoming movie, Kick Ass:
Here’s a bunch of Glee spoilers, all kinds of awesome things in there, including the fact that Matthew Morrison and Neil Patrick Harris will be doing an Aerosmith duet, and this gem of a line cut from Sue’s part:
“I will kick you square in the vagina.”
And on a related note, Brooklyn has their own brand on condoms and recently the city voted (online) for a new design, the one I liked the most won:
Although to be fair, I did like the one with the manhole cover, and the one with a top hat, it was classy!

The government is finally moving forward a little bit on the issue of gay blood donation. Here’s what I don’t understand. Why is it only if someone has had homosexual sex since 1977? What happened in 1977 that made blood after that unsafe? What if a couple was having sex at midnight from December 1976 going into January 1977? So many questions, so little thought. Also, hemophelia groups? I didn’t even know that was a word.
And finally, another video! This one for an academy award nominated movie:
