spooky_ninewhat's new in the news? well, it looks like that vile woman ann coulter has spouted off again, calling john edwards a faggot. oh, but when she said faggot, she didn't mean in the homosexual sense, she meant... wait, what?
also, in "Scary Government News", the navy has developed a ray gun that makes people vomit. yes, you heard that right. they're describing it as a "Star Trek hand-held Phaser Weapon set on 'Stun'" want better news? it has the ability to go through walls.
do you upload nudie pics to photobucket or flikr? well stop it! the government has drafted a proposal that would make websites keep track of who uploads what, in case police determine the content is illegal and want to investigate. so no more pictures of you bathing your daughters, or videos of you making LED-lighted advertisements to hang up around major cities.
but the united states doesn't have a monopoly on scary, civil liberties-trampling orwellianism (is that a word?). lo! france says it's now illegal for private citizens to film acts of violence. in an unflattering twist of fate, the council chose to publish its decision approving the law on the 16th anniversary of the Rodney King beatings. checks and balances? who needs 'em! you want something a little more 1984? china has blocked livejournal. are they worried about free speech? importing democracy? the influx of western ideas? or just really pissed off that some chinese kid is telling the world that parents just don't understand?
