Thursday Open Thread
- When I saw the headline, "MySpace, MTV team on politics" I immediately cringed, but maybe it's not that bad. They're going to host presidential dialogues, kind of like the YouTube debate except not really 'debates' so much as just conversations. Interesting. Also interesting, the article mentioned that "MTV is developing a social networking website that focuses on youth activism."
- Speaking of YouTube, they're going to start adding ads to videos now.
- For Peruvian earthquake victims, cans of tuna with Hugo Chavez's face on them. Man, never gonna miss a propaganda opportunity...
- They're going to need to come up with an international water deal for Iraq and surrounding countries. This is a possible future source of conflict. In other Iraq news, 15 women and children were kidnapped by al Queda and aid workers say they're having a harder time delivering aid.
- Mitt Romney is an idiot.
- Women still get paid less.
He without sin cast the first stone
This video is of a woman being stoned to death. Terrible. And why? Because she loved someone of another religion. And what are the men doing afterward? They are taking a photo of it with their cameras. And here is a petition to protest her killing. This was in Iraq. And what the hell are we doing there again?
