From the Sun, via Fark, which seems to have totally missed this charming juxtaposition. You must go to the site click here to see one of the adds they’ve got in rotation on this story. I’m thinking somebody’s media buyer just got fired.

In related news, fellow WordPress blogger and Vancouverite Marcus Frind, president of the Internet dating site Plenty of Fish, helped the US Marshals track down one of their most wanted criminals after he discovered the man was living with a woman he’d met through the site. Not exactly the kind of publicity I’d be hammering home to the public, myself. I mean, the news that my company is cooperating with law enforcement and putting away killers = good. The news that spree killers are trolling my dating site for women = bad.
But maybe that’s just me.
Seriously, who died? I went past the cop shop and all the flags are at half-mast.
The blogosphere reports nothing. The CBC reports nothing.
Are they Alouette fans or something?
and no cheap jokes, please.

And here’s more news from fullmonto:
the mighty monto roos, a rugby league football team are getting rude and going nude for brain injury awareness. monto is a small country town, in the australian outback, and the local footy team were devastated when one of their own succumbed to brain injury.
so these country boys have dug deep, and with the help of digital imaging guru ross stockwell are creating a beefcake calendar. the calendar goes on sale on the 14th of december, and all profit goes to support the brain injury association of queensland.
so, can 13 nude men really defeat brain injury? probably not, but with your help they can make life better for those whose lives have been shattered by brain injury.
Today at high noon, UCLA students staged a protest of the November 14th tasering of fellow student Mostafa Tabatabainejad by University Campus Police officers. As reported by pretty much every media outlet in the world, Tabatabainejad was using a library computer and failed to produce his student card for police, whereupon they tasered him repeatedly, an event which was captured on video.
As he was dragged away, he was heard to cry, “I’m not fighting you” and “I said I would leave.”
Let’s remind ourselves that one is under no legal obligation whatsoever to identify one’s self to police officers if one is not under arrest.
None.
There’s a large serving of “Blame the Victim” going on around the blogosphere, but let’s reduce this to the key issues:
Tabatabainejad was a bit of a jerkoff
that is not illegal
Tabatabainejad was within his rights to refuse to produce his ID
no crime was being committed, nor did the police have any reason to believe a crime was being committed or was going to be committed
the function of the police, in the absence of an actual crime, is to maintain the peace and public order
these particular officers could not be said to have done so in anything like an effective manner
unquestioning obedience to the arbitrary demands of armed authority is the hallmark of a police state and contrary to the goals of the Founding Fathers of the United States; it is inherently and perfectly un-American.
