In a surprise ruling last month, France’s highest court – la Cour de Cassation – ruled that an employee was wrongly dismissed for downloading smut to their work PC.

The employee, known only as "Monsieur X", was fired by Peugeot Citroën Automobiles in June 2002, after an internal investigation found that he had saved to hard disk a folder called "enculade43.zip", which contained 60 pornographic images and two files featuring animal sex.

Potentially better than the 2008 campaign:

Quote:
Former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska has signed on as a contributor to the Fox News Channel.

The network confirmed that Ms. Palin would appear on the network’s programming on a regular basis as part of a multiyear deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Ms. Palin will not have her own regular program, one person with knowledge of the deal said, though she will host a series that will run on the network from time to time.

You can't get fired in France for trying

They need something to do during their statutory minimum 32 weeks of vacation per year.

This line at the end of this piece on Gillibrand reads like part of an SNL sketch:

Quote:
In an interview on WAMC radio on Saturday, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer said he would not have appointed Ms. Gillibrand “under any circumstance” because her “views on issues are either wrong or too malleable.”

A spokesman for Ms. Gillibrand responded that the decision had not been up to Mr. Spitzer because he had been forced to resign after it was revealed that he had patronized a prostitution service.

Fascinating article. Touches on 6 or 8 interesting subjects.

Not quite as fascinating, but has anyone posted the Netflix rental map yet?

Pretty sure you could make a very accurately detailed ethnic and economic demographic map based on Netflix data. I'm familiar with a couple of these cities, and it's pretty clear that:

- Milk & Mad Men is enjoyed by upscale professionals in the very heart of urban areas and on college campuses. For instance, Chicago: the corridor between Northwestern/Evanston/McCormickville/North Chicago along Lake Michigan are probably mostly youngish people, but predominanetly white (Tyler Perry films are barely rented here).
- Tyler Perry movies are rented almost exclusively by predominately black neighborhoods and zip codes. Again, Chicago for instance, Tyler Perry movies are popular in southwest Chicago, Gary IN, etc. but are hardly rented anywhere else.
- Last Chance Harvey, Changeling, Gran Tarino (ie, Dustin Hoffman and Clint Eastwood) are more popular in zip codes with old, blue-blood money...West Chester and Oak Brook
- Paul Blart is very popular in suburban areas with middle income whites, places like Franklin Park, Northlake, Melrose Park, Addison, Oaklawn, Aslip, Bridgeview, but not very popular in downtown Chicago and along the Lake Michigan corridor to Evanston.

Boston looks about the same. Generally: young urbans and professionals like Mad Men and Milk. Black neighborhoods rent Tyler Perry. White suburbs rent Paul Blart, etc. Old rich white people like Clint Eastwood.

Peter Ludlow, a professor of philosophy at the University of Michigan, became fascinated by The Sims Online last year and founded a blog—“The Alphaville Herald”—that reports on interesting social situations inside the world. Last November, he discovered something truly strange: The game had a chain of cyber-brothels, run by a family of avatars, all played by a character named “Evangeline.” Evangeline had organized a handful of Sim women to perform hot-sex chat inside the game for customers, who paid in Simoleans. “Girls set their own prices,” she told Ludlow. “Bj’s” were 20,000 Simoleans, the equivalent of roughly $4.50 (US); Evangeline reserved the richest customers for herself, making up to $40 or $50 (US) a trick. Ludlow later discovered that some of Evangeline’s “girls” were underage girls in real life and that Evangeline herself was a seventeen-year-old boy living in Florida.
Number of Sims playing dudes getting virtual cyber BJs who even cared it was actually a 17 year old boy "giving them" fake head? I'm guessing not many.

hahahahaha

Not explained: how Ludlow came to find out "Evangeline" was a 17 year old boy. My opinion:

So this probably deserves it's own thread but I'm too busy:

Gradually with contributions from parents, the ad-hoc schools helped save a generation of children, and in some years the rebel zone got better results in national exams than the government zone.

Other volunteers helped cover for the absence of the state in other ways: setting up an ad-hoc postal service; their own television stations and some basic policing

Members of the government's armed forces formerly aiming to recapture Bouake now profit from the duty-free shopping.

"Yes, they've become friends. It's their colleagues who are in charge of controlling the dividing line between the two zones so they can get through quite easily," Mr Doumbia says.

No-one in the rebellion envisaged this outcome when they staged their coup on 19 September 2002.

I'll bet Chris Hansen has some SERIOUS skeletons in his closet.

Very good speech by a former US soldier who is ashamed of what he did to people in Iraq.

But to the most critical aspect of these events it surely lies with the Western World’s continued arrogance in regards to experimenting on both our Planets natural species and human beings, and though who may think that they are ‘gods’, are continuing to give evidence that they are acting more like devils.
Lol.
