A funny psuedo-Metallica-parody about becoming obsessed with watching kitten videos on YouTube. Made a few references that only those of us who would think this is funny will probably get. :)

WHYYYYYYY??????? How does this even happen?!?!?! WTF.

A good article about the guy arrested for being naked in his own kitchen. Turns out it was a cop's wife who cut through his yard and saw him naked.
Police went in with guns drawn and no warrant, and found out who his employer was and called his employer before he was out of jail.
His job has forced him to move out of his house, as it was shared by co-workers.
So his whole life is fucked up because some cop's wife got pissy.
I had something similar happen once. Made a hard stop at a stop sign. The car coming up the street I stopped for assumed I almost hit her, when I did not. My mom got a call 30 minutes later. She had her cop husband illegally run our plates so she could call us and bitch us out.
I'm starting to think the wives of police feel as much entitlement as some police do.
This is a dark moment for Fairfax County police.

This is why incremental change isn't good enough. Marijuana in UK moved from a more dangerous classification to a less dangerous classification.
If Obama did something like that, people would be telling me "change moves very slow. this is a good thing. You're wanting too much, too fast."
My point is — incremental change is very meaningless if the next elected leader can simply reverse it all in one fell swoop. UK is moving backwards, and there's no reason America wont in 4 years as well. Keep your guard up.
It's been 40 years since the hippies were positive pot was going to be legalized, and they're going to die wrong.

Yup. Halloween is evil because it's pagan. But Easter and Christmas are not evil because Christianity appropriated them. Too bad Christmas and Easter actually have NOTHING TO DO WITH CHRIST WHATSOEVER. The Christians slaughtered a much more interesting culture centuries ago, and are still whining that remnants are left. Fuck them.
They actually whined that Halloween was overshadowing All Saints' Day, even though they literally stole Yule and turned it into Christmas. HYPOCRITES.

Tattooists are the new Stasi? Just when you think American culture can't become lamer — it always does. This also pretty much seems like discrimination against those who get tattoos. Extra government surveillance if you go into a tattoo parlor!

UPDATE on OVERLY-HARSH PUNISHMENTS: Arrested for In-Home Nudity – at least, if a cop’s wife sees you while tresspassing:
“Naked kitchen man” acquitted.
http://www.dailypress.com/news/virginia/dp-us–in-homeindecentex0407apr07,0,7770293.story
However, with these facts, it’s starting to sound more like he *was* committing indecent exposure. However, with no way to prove that, he was acquitted. Very interesting case.
The law should indeed err on the side of innocent, rather than convicting based on witness testimony alone. Tough call here.

sheezum f*ck, I was going to grab a shower this morning but I guess I better not, I guess I could wear a pair of shorts or something. I don’t need to have anyone from central control stopping in to interrogate me.

We just got our windows replaced and have no blinds or curtains up. I keep catching myself about to give the neighborhood a show, glad to know I won’t be a criminal if it happens.

If I remember correctly, the woman who saw him and got the charges rolling was a cop’s wife.

Yup. Though new details in this article make me a bit less on the guy’s side. Standing naked in an open external doorway and singing isn’t quite the same as doing your dishes in your kitchen. And the cops came after the 1st person reported him, and the 2nd person didn’t report him until after the cops had already come. So he knew he was bothering people but kept it up.
Still, in a he-said she-said, I’m glad they did not take testimony to mean intent. They couldn’t prove intent, and I’m glad but a bit conflicted about it.
