Political Correctness gone wrong [is it ever right?]

Ugh - Australia is turning into such a nanny state! First the ridiculous, dictatorial potential implementation of the Government Internet Filter [sign the petition against it here fellow Aussies] and on a much more trivial but equally significant level - our abhorrence to mention the word Christmas. We've even gone as far as being the only country who has changed the name and the poster of the movie "Four Christmases". Fantastic. Just great. Thanks for looking out for us censorship board!

-Insert comment here- i.e. Elisita is flummoxed.

OMG. This is still rather surreal for me. Is this the definition of polar opposites? This feels like it's out of a movie set - or photoshopped. Eerie.

Prop 8 passes in Calif *sigh*

This sucks. It really does. What a horrible step backwards. How depressing.

California voters approved Proposition 8 Tuesday night, eliminating the right of same-sex couples to marry in the state.

I never thought I'd say this...

but I think I've found someone more incompetent than the incumbent US president. Ms Sarah Palin...can we say...dumb and cuckoo?

Can we?

I'm not 100% convinced that Barack's the man...even less convinced that he'll win...but his campaign manager certainly knows what he's doing. This is the new campaign song written by Will.i.am from the BEP.

Lyrics are less than inspired...maybe they're for the benefit of Mr Bush?

In porn we trust

UK Artist Jonathan Yeo unveiled his collage of George Bush created from fragments of 100 porn magazines in London.

I'm sure there's a big signficance behind it...but uhh...I don't get it. Now...if the collage had been made out of a dictionaries, or text books...or...any book, then yes...that would have worked for me.
