Major props to Kyle Garchar.

Senior pays for ‘legendary’ prank

Take top poster and pass to the left.

Following those instructions, hundreds of Hilliard Darby High School football fans fell into an elaborate prank on Friday night.

When they stood up during a football game against cross-town rival Hilliard Davidson High School and held up squares of construction paper, they thought they were spelling out: “Go Darby.”

But from across the field, Davidson fans read the actual message:

“We suck.”

Hilliard Davidson senior Kyle Garchar masterminded the trick at Crew Stadium and suffered an in-school suspension for it.

…

The principal is a humorless jerk.

And here we have a future Darwin award winner. The 14 year old who had overheating problems with his XBox*, and decided to cool it in a bowl of water.

He did survive, but was taken to the hospital with burns.

I might suggest that this kid not be given another video game console, and that perhaps he be sent outside to play.

*This is not a unique problem. The XBox has a reputation for thermal problems.

OH MY GOD! We Must Stop Bush and His Evil Minions™ NOW!!!!

Marty Kaplan of the Huffington Post is right. This is all about the Bush and His Evil Minions™ attempting to revisit, and relitigate, the 1970s.

There’s no longer any doubt about the master narrative of the Bush Administration. Their purpose is to re-litigate the 1970s. Nixon’s downfall, let alone all that followed, clearly has stuck in Cheney’s craw. All his New American Centurions were so scarred by the fall of Saigon and the Church Committee reforms that even Morning in the Gipper’s America didn’t do enough to restore the imperial executive and the American imperium. So now we watch as FISA and FOIA are dismantled, checks and balances are declared Congressional overreaching, and the bully pulpit is being used like Stalin’s commissars used scissors and a paste-pot to purge and doctor the historical record.

So what’s next? No doubt some reactionaries are drooling to undo Nixon’s putting the coffin-nail in the gold standard. Perhaps others want to retake the Panama Canal which, after all, we stole fair and square. The Supreme Court’s already doing a decent job rolling back civil rights and civil liberties from the 60s; surely overturning Buckley v Valleo’s campaign contribution limits is next in line.

I’m putting my money on an attempt by GOP culture warriors to expunge disco from the national memory. Don’t you have a feeling that this crowd is still in a world o’ hurt from humiliations they suffered beneath a twirling mirrored ball yea many generations ago?

He’s wrong, and they must be stopped. They will be trying to bring disco back.

The horror….the horror….

There is a 175 Foot 6 Year Old Who is Looking for His Toys

These numbers are preliminary off the cuff calculations based on the size of the Giant Lego man found floating in the ocean off the Dutch coast.

When lifetime rolls around, there will be a critical shortage of both peanut butter and jelly throughout Holland.

The question is whether this was somehow a lost promotional display, or a wickedly funny practical joke.

My guess is the first, but I’m wishing for the 2nd.

NBC Producer Owned at Def Con.

No Comments

It appears that an overzealous, and quite frankly not very bright Producer for the NBC program Dateline, Michelle Madigan, got outed at Def Con, the hackers convention.

Reporters are allowed, they are supposed to wear a press badge, and not to photograph or record without the subject’s consent.

Def Con is a bit of an odd bird, it resembles those “Christmas Truces” during the first world war, with white hats, black hats, and law enforcement all mingling in relative peace.

There is a hacking contest, and numerous demonstrations of security holes and hacking tools, which is why law enforcement shows up. This is just as useful to them as it is to the Nigerian spammers who attempt to get you to give them your bank account information.

It appears that the hopefully soon to be unemployed Ms. Madigan was attempting to create a bogus story about law enforcement folks being there.

While probably not factually false, it’s an attempt to create a scandal where none exists. Def Con is as valuable an asset to people combating hackers as it is for hackers, and any security professional who gets his undies in a bunch about people attending should not be in the field.

There is a description, with photos and video, of Ms. Madigan’s flight once she was outed here.

It appears that she was chased from the show by reporters looking for pictures and video once she was outed.

I love the irony.

It appears that some inmates at El Reno federal prison in Oklahoma attempted to buy a “get out of jail free” card using copyright.

They “copyrighted” and then attempted to file suits for millions of dollars against him and seize his property with the idea of using this as leverage to be let out.

Needless to say, the indictments against them for “conspiring to impede the duties of federal prison officials” rap, and “mailing threatening communications with the intent to extort”.

On the bright side, they have each received six figure offers of employment from the RIAA when they get out of stir.
