Someone seriously tried to use "True story" unironically?

Honestly. I had to double-check the URL to see if this wasn't The Onion.

* Lady Door doubles the facepalm.

Hairdresser shoots dissatisfied client twice in the back with a .38 snub. She's attempting to argue it shouldn't count as assault with a deadly weapon because the first round didn't even knock the person down.

Eh. Worse on the page is the Wuthering Heights disguised as Twilight. My brain hurts thinking of which is the step down there.

FBI releases a photo of what Bin Laden would look like today. Kinda.

It doesn't even look like they changed his features any... just applied the graying tool to his beard...

Nah, the nose and the eyebrows are noticeably changed (nose is longer, and the bridge line continues between the eyes. eyebrows are more widely separated, and more clean shaven). Also, maybe I was just looking for it, but I really feel like I can see a hint of Spanish in the modified features.

Wow, you know you've got a winner when I forget where I was linked from, and start thinking "oh my god I have to link this in IotD right now."

Jones: "How in the world is it not racist if you don't allow anybody to play but white Americans? It's segregated."

Jones: "But that would be segregated also."

I have the vague suspicion the law system takes its knowledge of DnD from Jack Chick tracts.

Grefter · « **Reply #1240 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:10:58 PM »

Nah I think they covered it quite concisely with this being about punishment. They cannot form groups of people that talk on a regular basis (Unless it is Church), they are in prison and therefore must be marginalised, compartmentalised and not allowed to discuss anything with anyone other than themselves, those that tend their cages and the people keeping them there.

This would be so much eaiser if we just built those damned panopticons already.

Pretty sure Satan worship is covered by freedom of religion, though.

Grefter · « **Reply #1242 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:26:10 PM »

If you find me a group of Satanists in the prison system that are allowed to practice and are not threatened with similar stuff I would be amazed.

Adding this to my "California is almost as big a cesspool as the South" file:

Dictionaries banned from a school because kids can look up dirty language in them. Nowadays I'd be fucking psyched if my kids were looking up curse words in the dictionary, because it means they know how to use one.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #1244 on:** January 27, 2010, 01:26:54 AM »

... Do they even know that UrbanDictionary.com exists?

I'll bet the kids who were reading those dictionaries do now. Where else are they going to turn but the internet? >.>;;

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #1245 on:** January 27, 2010, 01:29:48 AM »

That's why I always keep my guns in a shoulder, belt or boot holster instead of locked up. If your kids can't get it from you, they'll get it from someone else.

Umm yep. Third result from the top for "Dictionary" in Google. And the real kicker? Their January 26 word-of-the-day is "Oral Sex".

It sounds like you're implying that you agree with locking up dictionaries... Information and Guns are not the same thing... >.>;;

Excal · « **Reply #1248 on:** January 28, 2010, 02:02:41 AM »

Erm... what? He's equating dictionaries and guns sure, but he's pretty clearly stating that he does not lock up guns because if he's going to have kids around, he's going to make sure they get their knowledge of what guns are from him so that he knows what they know. So... yeah, it's information about guns he kinda indirectly talking about here.

I'm... not sure where you get the support for locking up dictionaries there.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #1249 on:** January 28, 2010, 04:25:45 AM »

Because he sounds like he's being sarcastic.

Guns are something you probably -should- keep locked up and away from children. And more than likely, other people -aren't- going to give someone's child a gun.

Completely the opposite of what you should do with a dictionary/information.
