In case you're wondering why there was some downtime all yesterday and the day before, apparently our server burned down.

Yes. It burned.

xxFloyd Mayweather Jr. Makes it Rain in the club....with Counterfeit Money
posted by Prowler at May 21, 2008, 04:31:31 AM
   

So apparently, the boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. decides to make it rain for the bitches in the strip club.

With fake $100 bills.  This is the point in this entry that I would make up an analogy to an equally stupid situation, but I honestly can't think of something in the same league of idiocy.

xxChild Porn is Not Protected Speech

A 2003 federal law made it a crime not only to produce and possess child porn, but also to "pander" material, conveying the belief that material contains minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The pandering provision covers anyone who "advertises, promotes, presents, distributes, or solicits" this material.

A Florida man, who was convicted of promoting child porn, was challenging this law. Thank God, the law was upheld by the Supreme Court.

Fuck it, nothing about child porn is "free speech."

The death toll quickly rose throughout the day. State-run news agency Xinhua said it had reached 8,533 in Sichuan Province by Monday night, and another 10,000 were believed to be injured.

exclamationWanted: Staff Writers
posted by Prowler at May 07, 2008, 09:11:55 PM
   

Doing all the work to this site myself has been a huge pain.  I really will need some help in keeping the different pages up to date with blog entries and other such things--it's become a bit overwhelming, as you can tell by the lack of updates and reviews in the past week.  If anyone is interested and you know how to write well (and by well, I mean you know proper punctuation, capitalization, and other such things), please feel free to apply.

Very soon I'm going to change the subtitle and caption of a few things and get rid of the sucks gimmick, because I have no motivation or desire to write anymore articles.  They will remain available, however, as editorials to the main site.
