Mah Nà Mah Nà - Wikipedia - ""Mah Nà Mah Nà" debuted as part of Umiliani's soundtrack for the Italian softcore pornography movie Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden, Heaven and Hell) (1968), a pseudo-documentary film about wild sexual activity and other behavior in Sweden ("Mah Nà Mah Nà" accompanied a scene set in a sauna). A soundtrack album, "Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso" was released in 1968. The movie was also released under the English title Sweden Heaven and Hell."
Gah.

Falling into the censorship trap - "As someone growing up in 70s and 80s London, I remember news about repeated bombs by the IRA here and there. But the British blackout of the IRA probably worked in its favour. Nobody could see the face of Gerry Adams. The news couldn't report him. Public perception of the IRA ranged from being a freedom fighter against a last gasp imperial relic to being a mysterious almost supernatural force. If anything, the lifting of the media ban in the 90s dispelled this and seeing Adams and his people on television gave them a mortal face. One which many people soon learned to ignore after his rants and speeches did not seem to point to any way forward. In other words, censorship did not work. The truth did."

Son of Citation Machine - "Citation Machine is an interactive web tool designed to assist high school, college, and university students, their teachers, and independent researchers in their effort to respect other people's intellectual properties."

Banning Pornography Endangers Women - "In the 19th century, women battled to become the legal equals of men, to have their consent taken seriously in the form of contracts and to have control of their own bodies legally recognized. Now anti-pornography feminists are asking the law to dismiss women's written consent. Moreover, consider how contemptuously radical feminism is treating the "unacceptable" choices of these adult women. If a woman enjoys consuming pornography, it is not because she comes from another background, has a different psychological makeup, different goals in life or an unusual perspective. No: it is because she is mentally incompetent. Like any three-year-old, she is unable to give informed consent regarding her own body."

Who is going to help with the Mandarin homework? - "Even Chinese children find their language hard, says Beijing correspondent Richard Spencer"

MIT prof begins hunger strike over tenure - "A black professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology began a hunger strike on Monday, refusing to eat unless the university reverses its decision to deny him tenure. James Sherley, a biological engineer whose opposition to embryonic stem cell research has been controversial among his peers, charges he has been denied the same freedom to challenge scientific orthodoxy afforded his white colleagues."
If a black guy is denied tenure, it is racism. If a white guy is denied tenure, he was not qualified; Emu Alert: James Sherley hates science at Three Bulls! - "His data is very circumstantial and he has only been able to weakly test his hypotheses in very artificial systems. So when he has trouble publishing the data in good journals and when it is greeted with skepticism, he probably shouldn’t take that as a personal attack, should he?"

The Malay Male: Understanding Malay Women - "Friend: Well, Malay women have been oppressed for centuries and they're still in the same shitty state. The only way they can get back some power or authority is by attacking the Malay man verbally. You should have just shut up and let her 'win'.
Me: So you're saying, the typical Malay man would let the typical Malay woman win in a verbal argument so that he can keep on doing other shitty things like beating her up and stealing her jewelry?
Friend: Yup. That's how it works."

30 Things You Learn From Porn Flicks - "18. If you come across a guy and his girlfriend having sex in the bushes, the boyfriend won’t bash seven shades of shit out of you if you shove your cock in his girlfriend’s mouth."

25 Things You Should Know About Guys - "When it comes to guys, you can usually narrow it down to three things: sports, sex, and beer. However, there are some things you might not know about the male that go beyond their favorite team, position, and alcoholic beverage. For your enjoyment, I present 25 things about guys you probably didn't know, didn't want to know, or didn't take the time to notice."
See, so short. This is why I didn't bother with How Guys Waste Time.

Should women shun men who are "too good to be true"? - "Men who are “too good to be true”, with looks, wealth and status all on their side, are less appealing to women than attractive men with an average kind of job, a new study has suggested."

the princess and the pee - "'Male urination', Camille Paglia once famously commented, 'is a kind of accomplishment, an arc of transcendence. A woman merely waters the ground she stands on.' This accomplishment, Paglia asserts, is 'beyond the scope' of a woman. The arc, and its accompanying powers of 'concentration and projection', are something a woman will 'never master'. This, dear reader, is bollocks... Paglia's 'biology is destiny' viewpoint is challenged by the sheer numbers of female users who don't seem to have found the production of their own 'arc of transcendance' any kind of problem. There is also a history section, which points out that the female squatting / male standing template is far from universal. For example, among the Tuarags in Africa, the females stand to pee while the males crouch... What I discover is that, if the male organ is like an automatic camera (just point and shoot), the female organ is rather more like an SLR. You have to get all the bits in the right place to get it right. Or, as Denise puts it on Restrooms.org: 'It's like learning how to whistle. You have to learn how to position your lips for the best results.'"

TVADS: Rudali - "Interesting ad from India. When a woman is widowed 'rudalis' come and take away all symbols of a married woman, namely bangles, locket and the red vermilion dot on forehead."

To the man cave! - "More than ever, the indigenous New England male seeks a place where he is free to just act like a guy... "Batman has the 'Bat Cave' and Superman has the 'Fortress of Solitude' so I guess it's something that appeals to many," said Fenton. "We start with tree forts, cardboard box houses, and eventually move on to bigger and better toys.""
