via BoingBoing. Jack Black, international rock god, movie idol, and philosopher, wants to stamp out piracy, and he’s sending us this message in the form of an embeddable YouTube vid with a copyright notice and the cover of his latest album one sheet for his new Tenacious D movie. Hmmmmmm…
No, seriously. You can look it up: god hates shrimp.
In yet another aberrational moment, I am using a link someone posted in the comments section here, instead of something I stole mine own self off Gawker or Fark, as is the usual procedure ’round these parts.
It’s because I’m out of coffee; that would account for almost any aberrational behaviour on my part. I haven’t gone coffeeless in a number of decades, ever since the disastrous Inka experiment of ’86.
I’m assuming the link-dropper is also out of coffee, or perhaps in that blogger’s case herbal tea, as they requested specifically that I delete the comment they had just made.
And here I thought I was self-sabotaging!
Perhaps they fear the wrath of Cthulhu! In any case, here is the go-to site for all you shrimp-hating gods. I am interested to note that it informs me of a recently-overturned ban on shrimp-eating in Massachusetts and San Francisco. It appears that Christian fundamentalists there are now going to have to brave the risks of accidental apostology when consuming the jambalaya.
Play it safe, people: order the calamari!
We call upon all Christians to join the crusade against Long John Silver’s and Red Lobster. Yea, even Popeye’s shall be cleansed. The name of Bubba shall be anathema. We must stop the unbelievers from destroying the sanctity of our restaurants.
Longtime readers of the raincoaster blog will recall our fondness for crittercams of various types, as well as our ridicule of the Guardian NewsBlog when it gave up its barely-credible claims to newsworthiness entirely and gave itself over to liveblogging a pair of nesting carrion crows who just happened to be right outside the office window.
Let us remind you that the primary difference between raincoaster and the Guardianistas is about £15 an hour, and the fact that raincoaster lists eaglecams, peregrincams, and pandacams rather than flyingvermincams.
Standards, people; we’re all about the standards!
Look: baby panda!
Well in all honesty, if a panda went on a rampage and destroyed downtown Toronto with its laser-beam eyes, all we in the West would say is “Cool! Is it up on YouTube yet?”
As it is, all we have to report is that a panda has eaten a small piece of an American. To which we say, “Cool! Is it up on YouTube yet?”
A panda cub bit off part of the thumb of an American visitor who was feeding the animal at a reserve in southwest China, state media reported Thursday.
The 50-year-old woman, identified only as Lisa,
had registered in the Wolong Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in Sichuan province as a volunteer, according to the official Xinhua News Agency…
Last month, a drunken Chinese tourist bit a panda at the Beijing Zoo after the animal attacked him when he jumped into the enclosure and tried to hug it.
That’ll teach those damn huggers a lesson!
