Man I hate chiropractors

What a wank.

Seriously, why do quacks get any news time at all? Still, this isn't as bad as the page they gave to some psychic about their 2008 predictions. Too many dumbos working in journalism, it kills me.

XKCD is evil

Car seats for kids = useless?

Apparently so

Even as a kid I wondered wtf was up with them.

Unintended Consequences

Why do well-meaning laws backfire?

The Freakonomics guys investigate....

Speaking of retarded

I love this description of this game... these people are mental.

For the aspiring young assassin, a popular online games site offers kids the opportunity to assume the identity of a leading presidential contender and then shoot their political opponents in a series of armed confrontations in the White House. While the ammo is paintball, the game on the hugely popular miniclip.com site allows kids to train a rifle scope on six presidential aspirants and squeeze off a hail of shots (which are accompanied with a rat-a-tat sound). The game, "Presidential Paintball," features six candidates in the crosshairs: Barack Obama; Hillary Clinton; John Edwards; Mitt Romney; John McCain; and Rudy Giuliani (it seems the game was developed before the ascension of Mike Huckabee). If a candidate wins a head-to-head confrontation, he/she advances to a new shootout, which occurs in various White House settings, including outside the Oval Office. When a candidate gets blown away, bloodlessly, a screen appears noting that they have been "eliminated," not killed. To better direct a fusillade, young gunmen can use their computer's mouse to place a crosshairs on a candidate's head or body. Of course, the imagery of Obama and Clinton, both of whom have been the target of threats and receive Secret Service protection, being targeted in such a manner-by children, no less-might be seen as troubling in some quarters.

Connex sucks

They've been cancelling one peak hour sandringham train every day this week, took me an extra 20 minutes to get into work today (for a 10 minute train trip!), so fricking annoying.

This article is so right - http://www.theage.com.au/news/opinion/connex-doesnt-like-passengers-and-it-shows/2008/01/22/1200764260974.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1

Xbox is crack for kids

Xbox is crack for kids

What a fucking joke...

Basically she's saying that because she can't be bothered limiting the time her kids spend playing video games, video games are evil.

Heaven forbid her kids enjoy playing computer games. Who'd have thought kids would want to do easy fun stuff?

It cracks me up how because parents are old and didn't grow up with this stuff they don't understand it... and how we're finally reaching a point where new parents are gamers and will game with their kids.

I wonder what pastime I'll end up railing against when I'm old, whinging about how the kids could be doing something wholesome like playing a video game or on their computer...

Notice how in her story board games are okay but video games are not. Retarded.
