Indeed, as a confirmed and millitant atheist what a load of shit.

Has no-one told him the good news about Godwin?

There is a little "preview" button next to the "post" button that helps you if you don't know what you are doing when doing technically challenging posts

Insert your own Daily Mail-style outraged subheading-cum-editorial comment.

I think I'll just stick to "you couldn't make it up"

How about:

"Did these stupid cunts not realise that they were moving next door to a school?" 

(do they allow "wank" smilies in the Fail?)

I had previewed it and it appeared correctly in the preview, probably because I had the page open in another tab and it was cached.

If and when I suss out how to embed pictures hosted at TwitPic I'll update that, if anyone else works it out in the mean time feel free to write it up.


Here's a link instead

Hmm, thats strange, I pasted that URL last time although the 'Signature=' that authorises access differs (see below).  Do you have a twitpic account chillax?  That could be the crux

Chillax' hotlink did work for me and now doesn't, looks like the tinyurl style redirect adds some kind of crypt that changes every hour or so to stop hotlinking. Probably easiest reposting to imagebucket or wherever.

[chillax]

Nope, no account slackers. The post was in the name of SCIENCE to see if the same thing would happen twice. It appears it does. The best approach for twitpic would seem to be linking rather than embedding, or if you have more time do what stevej said.

Ever felt under-dressed and in need of clothes quick? Well suffer in silence no longer! All you need is a handy can of fabri-can!

Exemplary tabloid journalism

Exemplary tabloid journalism 

Meanwhile, over at the Mail, they're covering the really important stories of the week.

Could anyone actually see a dog?

No.

you need to page down about half a page.

It's on the right-hand side.

She's no oil painting but I still can't see the resemblance.

When you stretch out the image, you can just about see what they mean......ish.



Sorry for the shitty image quality, t'was literally a 2 minute job. Squint your eyes. In any case, another fine example of what passes for news in the Dail FAIL.

Chilean Economist Manfred Max-Neef: US Is Becoming an "Underdeveloping Nation" A must watch/read.

We act systematically against the evidences we have. We know everything that should not be done. There’s nobody that doesn’t know that. Particularly the big politicians know exactly what should not be done. Yet they do it. After what happened since October 2008, I mean, elementally, you would think what? That now they’re going to change. I mean, they see that the model is not working. The model is even poisonous, you know? Dramatically poisonous. And what is the result, and what happened in the last meeting of the European Union? They are more fundamentalist now than before. So, the only thing you know that you can be sure of, that the next crisis is coming, and it will be twice as much as this one. And for that one, there won’t be enough money anymore. So that will be it. And that is the consequence of systematical human stupidity

Paul Chambers appeal against his disgraceful conviction in the Twitter Joke Trial is tomorrow. It's vitally important that he wins, to clear his name and allow him to get on with his life but also for everyone who writes anything on the internet, or in a text, or says something.........
