Below are six random links I had thrown up onto del.icio.us over the past month. I forgot to jot down where I first came across most of them—oh well. The first, fourth, and fifth links are borderline NSFW, but you shouldn’t be surfing blogs at work anyway, right? ;-)
- These French AIDS prevention advertisements are…striking. I’m not sure which is freakier—the giant arachnids or the French guy’s naked ass. It has been awhile since I have spoken la langue d’amour, but my guess on the posters’ translation is, “Without a condom, you’re making love to AIDS. Protect yourself.”
- Next up, we have female Stormtrooper armor. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that women’s underrepresentation in imperialist oppression and planetary genocide is not due to innate differences between men and women, but more because of the Empire’s “one-size-fits-all” armor policy.
- A Barbie USB flash drive? Seeing her little plastic body shoved neck-first into a USB port cracked me up. [via LifeHacker]
- Getting a bit tired of Smallville? Here’s a unique, somewhat vulgar take on the Superman origin story.
- For you cunning linguists out there, a guide to insulting, swearing, and cussing in 165 languages. Jebo ti poshtar mrtvu mamu u podrumu u kojem je izgorila baka dok ti je pokushavala zapaliti sestru!
- Yes, it is illegal for unmarried couples to live together in North Carolina. I just love the states below the Mason-Dixon line. Thankfully, most of the time that I was stationed in NC, I was actually in Europe. What I can’t believe is that the reporter got a quote from a defender of the law—political organizations with the word “family” in their names really scare me sometimes. [via Fark]
Family Policy Council?? That just sounds so wrong. I agree with the Rev. McKinney, people need to find something better to worry about, and stay out of us cohabitating/non married folks lifes.
Shouldn’t “family policy” be something that is set by “Mom” and “Dad” (allowing, of course, for Heather’s two mommies and other alternative family units)?
Family policy, far too often, is just a warm and fuzzy name for state-sanctioned violations of civil liberties.
