Srebrenica, the music video

June 25, 2007 – 6:09 am

I’ve been meaning to steal this from Samaha for months now. It’s a gorgeous song, a lament for the victims of Srebrenica and Potocari, and is performed by Alma Ferovic.

Fundamental Islam finally goes too far!

June 24, 2007 – 5:49 am

I’m SO enraged about this, you have no idea. And it happened in Seattle, of all places!
Fundies! Bah! It’s not enough that they try to prevent girls from getting an education, cover women’s faces, and consequently subject Chanel cosmetics to vast overpricing in the finer Gulf department stores.
No.
Now they’ve finally done it. Forcing this gorgeous [...]

Best Before: this post is entirely motivated by my wish not to have a stupid quiz at the top of the blog the day I get a direct link from Defamer

There, I said it.
So now I’m just going to up and tell you about the time my mother was offered a quarter of a million for me.
Shoot. There goes the punchline.
So…previously on the ol’ raincoaster blog…my mother used to live in Riyadh with a CIA agent. Her job was at the King Fahd Hospital (I [...]

I’m kind of disappointed my blogging diploma isn’t from Miskatonic, but that’s nothing a little hacking won’t fix.

my blog’s packed with porn (and so is yours)

June 8, 2007 – 8:00 am

Yay! We got a pressie!
Isn’t that great? YouTube gave us all a super-special surprise today, with their newest, bestest feature: an automatic scrolling ticker of possibly-related videos running across the bottom of every one of our own YouTube videos, right there in our blogs! How sweet is that, eh?
It’s just too bad that there is [...]

I’m Jesus! Everybody be nicer to me, like NOW!

What will you get me for Christmas?

Which God or Goddess are you like?
Your Result: Jesus
You are God’s lovechild. You love all and most love you. You help those who need it, and those too. The girls all chase you, and some boys too. You love to have fun, but you keep a serious life of [...]

because it worked so well with Mexico

April 22, 2007 – 1:00 am

Looks like Mission Accomplished is about to get a bit more Accomplished-er as the US military force takes a page from the pornopropaganda piece 300 to bring peace to shattered and splintered Baghdad by…
building a big wall.
The US military is building a three-mile concrete wall in the centre of Baghdad along the most murderous faultline [...]

duelling manifestos: Michelle Malkin vs John BigBooté

April 18, 2007 – 6:49 am

As longtime raincoaster fans know, we luv us a good manifesto. Indeed, there’s no feeling so dear to our shrivelled little cardio-unit as snuggling into bed with a lovely fresh, hard-covered and blood-spattered cri de coeur from some doomed, long-dead revolutionary.
Naturally, when we stumbled across this masterwork from the Amazing Invisible Blog of Alan Smithee, we [...]

pic o’ the day: Dubai bridal show

April 15, 2007 – 2:36 pm

from the Guardian, who have thankfully kilt that bloody animated slide show that was always mucking up my computer. Funny how Western wedding dresses look in the Middle East and parts of Asia. In my opinion, particularly looking at this example, the brides could do a LOT better.
