@10 apparently she was applying for life insurance and other things online using the info of a competitor. at least that's what the competitor says in the full 'I-Team' interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiJvK_xiUgo&feature=related...

Commented on Backwards singing video with comedy reverse-film effects
this reminds me of the pharcyde/spike jonze video from a while back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co3qMdkucM0 they had to learn to lip synch backwards, so i guess its not quite the same as actually singing it, but still damn impressive...
Commented on Cosmetic surgeon will point your ears?
also, as is stated in that bme link, the process of ear pointing is reductive, and doesn't add any height to the ear, which is what appears to be happening in some of the 'sample' pictures...
Commented on Cosmetic surgeon will point your ears?
this looks photoshoppy to me, all of the pointed ears seem to have an identical little bump/scar towards the top, which seems unlikely given the individual differences in ears. actual ear pointing results tend to differ from person to person...

What a dangerous crowd of protesters, who could be using the streets with their dirty bikes. This courageous officer sure did a great job smashing his fist in that young girl's face. @Felix Mitchell, Danlalan and others: As long as cops won't act as free individuals, I won't see and treat them like free individuals. They are paid not to act as individuals, but to embody law enforcement. Afaik, they have a choice in what job they want to exercise. I don't respect the choice they make and even criticize it. So when I say that e.g. cops are all...

Felix Mitchell commented on More on the LRAD sound cannon at Pittsburgh G20 protests
@FAILIX They may well all be assholes, but that's such a controversial generalisation that it often derails any discussion. I also think it is largely irrelevant to whether we can improve on things - beat cops, whether assholes or saints, make few if any decisions about how they are employed....
