ITEM [via BoingBoing]: For those of you keeping up with the Pen Spinning World Tournament, here are the latest results from Hong Kong.



FUN FACT: I didn’t know there was such a thing, either. But I’m not surprised – half the people in my office could probably make the first round.

Sit and spin,

Boredom Week continues with with Jello Biafra fronting DOA, with the lesson that being a dictator does nothing to liven up yr day.



PRODUCTION NOTE: Today’s scheduled episode was supposed to feature “Ain’t Nothing To Do” by Dead Boys, but was cancelled at the last minute because Sire/Warner doesn’t want you listening to their music on the stupid Internet.

How boring.

Play to win through intimidation,

Meanwhile, the Interwub is abuzz over the mysterious return of George W Bush in Minnesota.



The answer here at Team Def is, of course, a unanimous FUCK NO.

But admit it. It’s a great billboard idea. I’m sure plenty of Demos secretly wish they’d thought of it (only with a Clinton photo) back when Dubya was president (though of course by the end of his first year, putting up a sign like that would be denounced as treason and everyone at Fox News would be demanding that the people behind it be identified and arrested).

In this case, the billboard is from “a group of small business owners who feel like Washington is against them”. Which probably puts them in the Tea Party camp. If so, it’s the first genuinely good sign they’ve ever come up with – it beats drawing Hitler mustaches on Obama’s face.

Or things like this.

Of course, for people like me it is jarring to think that anyone still longs for the Glory Years of GWB apart from close friends, the filthy rich and Halliburton employees. Then again, it’s not like his approval ratings were zero. At least a quarter of the country still loved him. And even Nixon still has his fans.

Which just goes to show you can rationalize anything given enough time.

The bitch is back,

I get press releases.

They’re pretty much never (1) from hacker groups declaring war on the Australian govt for censoring Internet pr0n or (2) worth reproducing in their entirety.

Until today.

Operation Titstorm! )

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The hacker group Anonymous promises to attack Australian govt web sites in protest of censorship plans to ban all porn featuring A-cup women and female ejaculation.

They made good on that promise today.

Personally, I agree with the anti-censorship groups that condemned the attacks – it's unlikely to convince the govt to change its mind. In fact, it’s more likely to backfire in that regard.

Still, I don’t get nearly enough press releases with statements like:

“The Australian Government will learn that one does not mess with our porn. No one messes with our access to perfectly legal (or illegal) content for any reason.”

So, points for that.

Pr0n wants to be free,
