A new type of handcuff has been patented that can shock prisoners and even … [gasp] … inject them with drugs.
Also blast STOP RESISTING from builtin speakers.
F this bullshit
HA!
I wonder if they have a scrotum-sized version.
I don’t know, those look a little tight…
Kinky.

A 15-year-old has been arrested by police investigating a racist tweet sent during Sunday’s Manchester derby.
When racism becomes edgy, only racist will have the edge, lamo PCtards.
Oh my, are they fucked.
They actually arrest someone, detain them, for non-threatening words written on the internet? Those are public resources well spent.
Thank God our govt would never do that over YouTube vids.
It’s cute that England still think they’re going to police-state their entrenched yob culture away.
More journalists than ever were imprisoned in 2012, though probably not as many as government officials would like.
And yet no increase in news stories about the need for prison reform.
Kinda hard to get published from a cell, unless you’re a serial killer.
Jennifer Lawrence thinks she’s ‘John’s Type’
She made #1?!? I mean, she’s attractive, but #1?
The list makes no sense. No way they “asked men.”
Definitely a fishy list.
Stay tuna’d in for corrections.
Someone floundered in the selection process.
Kristen Stewart is on the list…
The fuck?
Also, am I the only guy who does not find Rihanna attractive at all?
Nope.
You are not alone. In the top 5 I only understand Kunis and Upton.
Nope. But I don’t know why Sparky needs to hate on Emma Stone…
To put her on the same list as, and within site of, Kate Upton is just retarded.
Why are you idiots overlooking that Michelle Jenneke is on the list?
Spot on. She’s a herpetic hoodrat.
The fact that Emma Stone is on the list is all you need to know.
AND IN THE TOP 10! FUCK?
Everyone hates Emma Stone? I FEEL LIKE I’M TAKING CRAZY PILLS.
I’ll let her be 99, but #5?
Just ignore them, FoE, they’re clearly attracted to women like Rosie O’Donnell.
This list was clearly written by women. Women: please stop trying to gauge other women’s attractiveness. You suck at it. And please, please, leave the casting on HBO shows to men.
ROSIE O’DONNELL WAS IN A MOVIE CALLED BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.

And what’s with casting Jason Biggs in American Pie? He’s not even part baked-goods.
Yeah, I don’t understand this. I think she’s definitely up there. And there’s a certain something that I can’t wait for to surface
Fist, I think we’re in that Twilight Zone ep with the pig people.
Auric, seriously. I don’t get it. Emma Stone is a daughter of Aphrodite. I don’t understand the hate.
I would expect a daughter of Aphrodite to be, you know callipygous, not apygous.
Jus’ sayin’
The Greek aesthetic for feminine beauty was a bit different than Sir Mix-A-Lot’s, HM.
Not that I disagree with you in general.
Even Spartans gotta shout, Venus’ got back!
People putting Kunis up there are voting on how she used to look before she lost all the T&A for the ballerina movie. The fatty deposits did not return to the proper areas. It’s actually quite sad.
Lana Del Rey. That is all.
http://cdn01.dailycaller.com/w…..525181.jpg
I approve of this message.
She’s meh. Slightly above average at best (once you exlude the overwhelming percentage of the population that consists of fatties). Also, she has a ‘stache.
It looks like Belize needs some money.
An archaeologist in Belize has filed a lawsuit against the makers of the film “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” alleging that the movie profits off references to an artifact illegally stolen from the country.
…
“The primary goal of the litigation is to: (a) preserve and return the artifact to the people of Belize; (b) to enforce the nation’s rights to the artifact and the profits derived therefrom; and (c) to make known to the global community that while a relatively small, yet vibrant and growing nation, Belize will take whatever action necessary to preserve, and prevent the exploitation of its culture and cultural artifacts/landmarks,” Awe’s lawyer Adam Tracy wrote in an email to LiveScience.
Spielberg has enough money to bomb that country into a magnitude lower condition of poverty. He should issue an order for them to surrender and fall in line where they’ll be duct taped to the ass of the Belizian standing in front of them.
Now the McAfee story starts to make sense!

I didn’t know anything about this guy until I found a link to the video. They sure are doing a good job preventing his hate speech from spreading…
Also, it’s a damn shame, would bang 0:43 if she wasn’t an idiot.

…OH NOES am I a hate group now?
The hatiest hate group of all. An individual.
OK, her skin could use a little work, but it’s forgivable.

Anyway you’re just bagging on her because she’s a WOMAN OF COLOR.

I learned from a medical student yesterday that, across all cultures, men get their zygomatic bones broken disproportionally on their left side, from haymakers, and women get them broken disproportionally on the right side, from backhands. The girl with the two chins and the nose ring reminds us why that is.
“Take the right to make noise, materially or physically, which is a man’s privilege. Most of them are only finally satisfied once they can play about with noisy machines in front of others, particularly women. Their social discontent fades away at the wheel of a vehicle, its sonorous performance conveying the proof of their sexual power.”
-feminist philosopher Luce Irigaray
This is the bullshit that they follow. It’s fucking mind-numbing.
PS – I only have this quote because I had to study this as the final part of an ethics class.
Don’t worry, I wrote a paper on “ecofeminism” once…
…did you know there are different kinds of ecofeminism?
Just how stupid was your instructor? The quote above is not even worth considering as a thought out opinion much less as a serious idea worthy of in depth consideration.
The instructor is pretty sharp, I think that’s why we’re only spending the last class covering feminist philosophy.
So, it’s a trap then. I can respect that.

Well, it’s true that Einstein complained about “spooky orgasm at a distance” in discussing the EPR paradox. He also commented that “God does not surf porn.”
/headdesk. Fucking literally, I hit my head up against my desk after reading that.
Please tell me that’s really from The Onion.
I thought the proof of a man’s sexual power was tied up with how much noise his woman makes.
I always took that to mean she is trying to arouse another guy in the next domicile by letting him know sex is going on. I would find it insulting if it ever happened to me.
Some folks in Evolutionary Psych. actually argue this, as female bonobos often hoot and howl while getting banged, as to invite the next male to join the primate gang bang.
I wouldn’t mind if she called the neighbor up before we got started, but she would be practically offering him sloppy seconds in that situation, and sloppy seconds belong to me.
What about dirty-thirties?
Hmm, might explain how I got married.

Man of Steel, first theatrical trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wArmHSPIvlQ
Also, I caught a bit of The Dark Knight Rises yesterday, the first time since July. I got to say, it’s a sloppy movie, but I liked more than I remember.

Oops, wrong link. That was the teaser trailer from this summer. This is the actual theatrical trailer.
By the way, did Hans Zimmer ripoff his score from Gladiator?
How can you tell? Okay, Last of the Mohicans score was pretty good, but then again, Zimmer wasn’t involved.
Best score I’ve heard this year is for Prometheus, and also Max Payne III has some interesting music in the mix there.
Skyfall has a very interesting quasi-industrial score.
He is better at that than traditional orchestrated scores. He did a similar themed approach to Crises 2 which isn’t bad either.
Crysis 2, my bad.
Zimmer’s best scores: The Lion King, Gladiator, and The Dark Knight Trilogy. His score for Sherlock Holmes is underrated, but the less I say about Pirates of the Caribbean, the better.

The finest program ever aired on televsion, bar none. I never knew it existed until I noticed it on Netflix and decided, on a whim, to give it a go. I watched every episode of every season in about five days.
Great show all around. Their absolute dedication to the running gag of Julian always having a glass of booze in his hand no matter what was amazing.

What show? Did the link send me somewhere different from everyone else? Was Rush in a tv series?

Trailer Park Boys. It’s a Canadian show, a mockumentary about a couple losers living in a trailer park in Nova Scotia who like to drink and grow weed. Shit is hilarious. And yes, Alex Lifeson guest-starred in one episode.

Last I checked, it was on Netflix, so definitely give it a look.
Good decision.

Illinois’s ban on any sort of carrying of guns was struck down by a federal court on Second Amendment grounds…
I assume Chicago remains a Constitutionless island.
While the ruling more than likely only preempts our State’s ridiculous prohibition, I don’t think Chicago has much of a leg to stand on with their own prohibitions…and statewide preemption of carry laws is one of the pro-gun sides requirements for passing a CC bill.
Given that we’ve got 180 days until Illinois gets Vermont style carry, the chances of getting a reasonable ‘Shall Issue’ bill with statewide preemption is pretty high I think.

Well, since the whole 3rd floor is now essentially sales and marketing, I’ll take a pass on 338. Wouldn’t mind an executive 454 though. Maybe in a couple of years…

“It’s hard to picture that jam session at the end of the night. I don’t think anyone does Rush songs except for Rush. That would require weeks of rehearsal.”
Nice. There are very few bands out there whose members can approach in individual technical prowess of Lifeson, Lee, and Peart.
The Public Enemy/Anthrax version of “Bring the Noise” is a great rap-metal song, possibly even better than Faith No More’s “Epic”. So, that gives them all the rock credit that they need for the hall of fame.
rap-metal is an abomination.
No. Nu-metal is an abomination. Rap-metal, at least when it comes to Run-DMC/Aerosmith, RHCP, Faith No More, and Public Enemy/Anthrax, was exciting.
I agree…and don’t forget Biohazard/Onyx.
Does System of the Down count as “Nu-Metal”, cause I like them.
Or System of a Down. One of those.
I remember the Judgement Night soundtrack having a few good rap/metal tracks.

Analysis of the president’s proposed $1.6 trillion in tax hikes shows
that only $400 billion is intended for deficit reduction. The rest?
New spending, of course.
Another thing to note is that amount of money actually raised by the tax increases will be less than expected. It always is. For example, the 10% indoor tanning tax was supposed to raise $200M in its first year but only raised $50M. Among other reasons, in response to a tax people change their behavior: they buy less, buy cheaper alternative products, invest less, maybe cheat more in taxes, avoid penalties more stringently, etc. Bush for example introduced hefty penalties on late 1120-S tax returns, but in response people make sure they file by 3/15 or whatever the appropriate date is, so the money raised by the fine is much less than expected.
So bottom line, the tax hike will just increase spending and NOT AT ALL pay down the debt. Republicans need to make a big deal of this.
Nice link, buddy.
They’ll just say that the tan tax was worth it because now fewer people will get skin cancer.
It’s so cute when the proponents of some new social-engineering tax use both the revenue projections (which assume no change in behavior) AND the changes in behavior due to the tax as arguments for their proposal.

Justice Antonin Scalia defends equating sodomy laws with laws against murder during Q&A at Princeton.

Probably because Sodomy means something different now than what it used to mean. Now, gerbils should be able to sue for damages under such laws.
Gerbils have no rights.
I view it as the left whining that Scalia won’t shit on the Constitution the way they want him too.

That’s the messaging strategy employed by Cincinnati’s Springdale Cleaners, who hate abortion so much that they’ve been printing “Choose Life!” on their wire dry cleaning hangers for a couple of years now.
It makes you wonder how easy it would be for people to just live their lives if these pigeons didn’t get hysterical and overwrought at everything that draws their attention.
I swear, they have the attention span of dogs–they chase their little ball for a couple minutes, then get distracted by some other shiny that gets their attention for a few seconds, but you can draw them off of that by throwing a rawhide in their direction.

Scientists may have finally solved the puzzle of what makes a person gay, and how it is passed from parents to their children.
A group of scientists suggested Tuesday that homosexuals get that trait from their opposite-sex parents: A lesbian will almost always get the trait from her father, while a gay man will get the trait from his mother.
[PHOTOS: Couples Queue for Midnight Marriage Licenses]
The hereditary link of homosexuality has long been established, but scientists knew it was not a strictly genetic link, because there are many pairs of identical twins who have differing sexualities. Scientists from the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis say homosexuality seems to have an epigenetic, not a genetic link.
Long thought to have some sort of hereditary link, a group of scientists suggested Tuesday that homosexuality is linked to epi-marks ? extra layers of information that control how certain genes are expressed. These epi-marks are usually, but not always, “erased” between generations. In homosexuals, these epi-marks aren’t erased ? they’re passed from father-to-daughter or mother-to-son, explains William Rice, an evolutionary biologist at the University of California Santa Barbara and lead author of the study.

Scientists may have finally solved the puzzle of what makes a person gay, and how it is passed from parents to their children.
This is not necessarily physiological, it is sometimes emotional/mental. While my gay niece and step brother are certainly anecdotal, they both are examples of individuals very close to soft, opposite role models with domineering same sex role models.
The niece has a milktoast father and a cunt bitch mother. She fears becoming her mother more than anything and is almost certainly a lesbian as a result. My step brother has a submissive mother and an asshole father. The last thing in the world he would ever do is treat a woman like his father treated his mother. The mirror image of these to people who have never met is fascinating.
My guess is that this dynamic is much more important than some imagined genetic link.
“…homosexuality is linked to Epi-marks”: A-HA!
