If you haven’t been convinced that ‘gay conversion’ torture is real, or harmful, new, horrific recordings have surfaced thanks to investigative journalism.
A new reality show is coming to (British) TV, and I certainly want to watch it: Bromans:
How many live in the eight leastpopulated states? Less than 3 percent. Three percent — also known as the margin of error. (Which raises a terrifying scenario: It’s possible these states are completely empty.)
I just finished reading the Hunger Games Trilogy, and it was awesome, now I need to go see the movie. In the meantime though, here is a trailer for The Hipster Games:
Big stuff from Google with their augmented reality glasses, and the inevitable remake of it:
Also from Google, they’ve been working on using Street Maps technology in museums around the world, now they’ve shot the interior of the White House:
So…Santorum is crazy. For a while, he was campaigning on a platform of outlawing porn. I was talking with a friend this week, a speaker brought into her work place was also known for going on tirades about pornography. And we all agree, it’s a case of “He who doth protest too much…” But anyway, in response, porn stars (ahem, hard, ahem, working Americans who would be put out of work) came together to make a video in protest:

One of my favorite church signs, going viral:
And lastly, holy crap, you know people are stretching when they want to protest Desmund Tutu. I saw him speak at my church, and the man is amazing and a living saint. If you ever have the chance to listen to him lecture, please do, you will not regret it, I promise.
That’s it for now, thanks everyone, have a great one!
And speaking of politics, here’s the official GOP bracket:
So, there are apparently porn parodies of everything. However, one nerd took all the sex out, and it turns out Star Trek: The Next Generation porn is actually a pretty good episode.
I have a bunch of stuff to pass on, but I cut the tip of my index finger, so typing is strange, at best. I’ll see what I can do, but I should be back soon with the rest of what I have (unless work does in fact manage to kill me this week).
If you truly believe that labor unions are so evil and/or unnecessary—indeed, un-American—then why don’t you volunteer to give up all the rights and benefits the labor movement has won for working Americans over the past 140 years? You know, little things like the 8-hour workday, weekends, paid overtime, paid sick, holiday and vacation days, child labor laws, workplace safety, workers compensation for on-job injuries, unemployment insurance, health care insurance, maternity leave and family medical leave… not to mention the minimum wage, Social Security, and Medicare, plus a whole lot of other things I’m probably forgetting.
Go ahead, give those things up. Because without organized labor, you wouldn’t have any of those rights or benefits in the first place.
In honor of President’s Day, Nerve has ranked the Presidents and First Ladies in terms of sexiness. You should easily be able to guess who tops the First Lady list, but, points for this description of number 28:
Abigail Adams was not the ugliest first lady, by any means. Just frighteningly severe and voted most likely to “cut a bitch.”
What if the Mississippi River was really a transit map? This is really cool, although I was sad to see the Yough wasn’t listed.
Also, I’m really excited that the Scottish Deer Hound won Westminster! I saw it for the first time on Thanksgiving and think it’s a really cool dog!
Thank you James Earl Jones, for everything:

Okay, let’s play a game with youtube. Of the two following movie trailers, one is for a “Direct to YouTube” movie. The other is a trailer for a Porn. See if you can tell them apart:
