Nutjobs are Getting Younger
Less than 24 hours after I have posted about strange comments I have received via email, I got messaged by “mimi_mew2006” this afternoon.
“Mimi_mew2006”, aka. Brianna, is a 13 year old whom seeks attention online by striking up conversations with random strangers. For a second, I was concerned about her safety; I even forwarded her a link to MSNBC’s story about online predators.
Then I thought to myself, “what the f*ck do I care, it’s her parent’s problem.”
After half hour or so, I was bored of her and eventually blocked her from message me ever again. Hopefully she did not feel rejected and go slash her own wrists or do something equivalent stupid.
(transcript)
Although, I was happy about my line of "unfortunately I am the type of person that would drown babies in bathtubs so I can steal their candy."
Update: Nutjob "brianna" is trolling for responses. As of right now, I truly wish she did slash up her own wrist, here is a demo video (not wrist, just buttom of the foot).

Honorary Chinese
Staples has released another crappy commercial about their giant red “easy” button. This time they have drawn inspiration from the Chinese.
By pushing the “easy” button, the Great Wall of China was erected and protecting its citizens from invading Mongols.
Unfortunately, just like many Chinese restaurants' kitchen staff, the emperor’s foot soldier is Mexican. Not Chinese-Mexican, just pure simple Mexican.

Plus, the emperor was not speaking Mandarin Chinese when the commercial showed English caption “dang”. What he said was "sei laa" (死啦), which is "death" in Cantonese.

Nutjob Leaves Strange Comment about Cosmopolitan Magazine
Once in a while I would get emails and comments from people that are "a little off".
This is one of those times.
http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=103960660&size=o
Here are some highlights:
"i had menorrhagia for years"
"i have had trouble with men all my life and i am still plagued by nuts and people who are just awful."
"i had to wear depend briefs because i was being raped quite a bit by mexicans and very handsome white drifters."
"the blacks are morally inept and jealous of damn sex."

HOWTO: Watch The IT Crowd from Outside of UK
For some unknown reason(s), Channel4’s sitcom “The IT Crowd” is blocked from non-UK users, including myself.
Today I have discovered a very simple way to get around it:
1. In Firefox, under Tools, select Options…
2. Under General, click on Connection Settings…
3. Type in “83.100.217.53” in HTTP Proxy field, “80” in Port field, and check Use this proxy server fro all protocols. (more proxy IPs can be found here)
4. Click OK to return to browser screen and enjoy the show.
Reverse the steps if you are paranoid about unknown proxy servers.
Update: Feb. 27, 2006 - Michael Belisle is a little bit butt-hurt about how he was “the one first discovered public proxy servers.” To prove his point, he has even included a link to his recent comment on my site.
To be honest, I did not even notice his previous comment until I received his comment today sounding like a cry-baby.
I am sorry Michael, would you like some cookiesto shove them up your ass to feel better?
ps. Michael, perhaps you have also invented the internet just like Al Gore?

Ha Ha Ha America
http://festival.sundance.org/2006/watch/film.aspx?which=402
“Ha Ha Ha America” is a short film made by Jon Daniel Ligon in 2005 and it was shown at 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
The description of this film says “a translated harangue from China to the U. S. A. that laughs at Americans’ missteps.”

SBS Dateline Abu Ghraib
(mp4 file video)
On Wednesday 16 February 2006, Australian public broadcaster SBS current affairs program DATELINE telecast a segment featuring 60 new photos of the torture inflicted on prisoners in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. These photos were secured by court order - the ACLU figures prominently in the report - but these photos haven't yet been shown in the media anywhere in the United States.
