• Commented on Led Zeppelin vs. Indian religious sitcom
  I remember visiting India when this was on TV. Sorry if I offend anybodies PC-ness, but it was pretty awful. No one here would hesitate to pile on a Bible adaptation with cheesy special affects. Though India, especially at the...

  Pretty cool. I still miss the weird ass puppets, though....
• Commented on HOWTO ask good skeptical questions
  I believe skeptical thinking and theism ARE incompatible. You can do all sorts of intellectual gymnastics to say otherwise, but this is just sophistry. I do think that the scientific establishment often overstates it's case, especially the medical establishment. This...
• Commented on Man who drove into City Hall gets 10-year sentence
  #4 - "Wow, I'm not sure what's crazier... The fact the man did what he did... Or the fact that the video is so OBVIOUSLY edited to make it seem more "harrowing" for the people he "nearly hit". The first...
• Commented on Future of news and business

  @ COREY #5: They're already ahead of you, at least in England: http://www.badscience.net/2009/02/the-evidence-aric-sigman-ignored/ And to see the thrilling and depressing conclusion: http://www.badscience.net/2009/04/experts-say-new-scientific-evidence-helpfully-justifies-massive-pre-existing-moral-prejudice/#more-1101 Title of some of the articles mentioned in the above: “Facebook and Twitter ‘make us bad people’” “Twitter...

• Commented on What you should be afraid of instead of terrorists
  How about fear that there is another horrible terrorist attack and, in the aftermath of the resulting racism, I get a mob-beating by a bunch of meatheads?...
• Favorited Today on <em>Offworld</em> on Boing Boing
• Commented on Game industry exec celebrates 60+ hour work-weeks
  Almost all professionals I talk with feel pressured to work at least 60 hours a week. I don't think this is right, or that it's worth it, but it is the way it is in America now. Except me, I'm...

• Commented on Thorstein Veblen, Prescient on Today's Media
  Yeah, conspiracy theories from a hundred years ago. That's somewhat unfair, but its 5 am and I need to go to bed, so I can't make a more nuanced critique....
• Commented on Jon Stewart slaughters crazy finance guy Jim Cramer -- video
  Man, perhaps John shouldn't go back to making fart noises, he can give a devastating interview when he wants to. I'm sure they prepared for that a lot more for that interview than for the usual softy interviews he gives,...
• Commented on NY Times and 'Serious' Journalism
  I think "would you consider yourself socialist" is a fair question. The correct answer would be something "No, but I'm a left leaning moderate, who will incorporate both socialist and capitalist ideals into a policy which I believe will most...
• Commented on Bruce Sterling on Web 2.0
  I got a few paragraphs in and then gave up. Sounds like something created by a cross-discipline content free lecture generator....
• Commented on Recipe for Disaster: The Formula That Killed Wall Street
  I think this has been one of the most thoughtful and informative conversation threads I've read on boing boing. Xeni, I assumed you were being ironic/hyperbolic when you said "stop math now!", at least I hope you were. Not exactly...
• Commented on Skinless skin-tight cycling outfit
  This raises the natural creepiness of the skintight cycling suits to a whole new level. I understand the need for improved performance, but really, his crotch-bulge is covered with a picture of the muscles beneath his penis. Unicorn chaser!...
• Commented on Яolcats: English Translations of Eastern Bloc Lolcats
  Any other Book of the New Sun fans out there hankering for some Ascian LOLcats? Probably not. *sigh*...

  Pretty cool, but now I'm jonesing for a video of Shipwreck's detached head, upside down and walking around on giant spider legs....
• Commented on The case against Candy Land
  I think I figured out the random lameness of candyland pretty early on. It took me a bit longer to figure out the random lameness of D&D. =) The Germans have done a great job in the last few decades...
• Commented on Speaker system built into mannequin
  I think people on this thread decrying this sculpture are feeding into the wretched stereotype that feminists have no sense of humor. Please, feminists are people like every one else. People who can take a good joke and not be...
• Commented on Brian McCarty: Obama (toy) at the Lorraine Motel
  If I tattooed a picture of Obama on my penis and got it posted on Boing Boing, I bet that would generate a lot of discussion. I also think it's ridiculous to call race the "elephant in the room," unless...
• Commented on What is this science fiction image?
  Is it possible that it's just one of those ideas people easily converge to? I mean, if your going to have an arboretum in space, this seems like the most natural design. Unless you pay attention to the lack of...
• Commented on Facts versus the lie of "liberal, out-of-touch Hollywood"
  Good article. He does a rather detailed description of one view of how Hollywood works. Of course, one can nitpick the data to nudge it either way. I don't think it can be nudged far enough to quibble with the...

  #18: Damn! My mail-stripper career never took off like I wanted it to, or like it should have according to Ms. Coulter....
• Commented on Stanley Milgram's shocking experiment, redux
  @JJASPER, #15 sez "Actually, medical ethics has serious issues with deception as part of an experiment. So there's a reason beyond a sort of conspiracy in psych studies to avoid looking at icky stuff." Really? I skimmed the link you...
• Commented on Quietly Terrifying Karl Rove NYT Interview
  I don't get it, what's creepy? Defensive, definitely. It also ends on an odd note, with him demanding the transcript. I don't generally consider Hannible Lector as defensive....
