8:20p	well, hell, hard to condemn that... hat tip omlteaufromage In the Season of Giving: A Hooker Raffle Here’s a holiday story that is sure to warm the coldest heart. On this website of Dallas call girls (Warning: adult content), an escort named Kayla has rallied her friends to put together a special raffle. As she explains in the note below, the winner of the raffle ($50 per entry, or 3 for $100) gets a session with not just Kayla but as many as 10 of her colleagues, all at once: I love doing things for charity, I just hate not knowing that the money is actually going to where I want it to. Well it just so happens that I have a very dear family that is dire need of about $1000, about right now. If she does not make these bills by Jan. 3, her and her kids will be homeless. She is not in a position to just go make $150 an hour like most of the ladies round these parts. So here is what we are proposing…. 2 Full hours spent with ALL of the participating providers at once.

10:25p	"humour challenges the notion of a foolproof meritocracy" Politics is no laughing matter in Singapore SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Chewing gum, homosexuality, public protests... the list of things frowned upon is long in Singapore. But satire? Yes, that too. Seriously. mrbrown -- the Internet moniker for blogger Lee Kin Mun -- was the first satirist to find out what that response could be. In July, his weekly column in state-owned newspaper Today was axed after he had poked fun at a series of price hikes that followed soon after the May 6 general election. "It is not the role of journalists or newspapers in Singapore to champion issues, or campaign for or against the Government," the information ministry wrote in a blistering reply.

10:30p	Danish artists stirring things up again Danish art group pokes fun at Iranian president COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A Danish art group that pokes fun at world leaders targeted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday by placing an advertisement in a Tehran newspaper with an insulting hidden message. Beneath a picture of the president, a series of apparently sympathetic statements were arranged such as "Support his fight against Bush" and "Iran has the right to produce nuclear energy". The advert was attributed to "Danes for World Peace". However, the first letters of each phrase, when read from top to bottom, spell out "S-W-I-N-E". (3 Comments | Comment on this)
11:07p	I'm still reserving judgment. Slow to return, teen Turtles are back! The Chinese calendar says 2007 is the Year of the Pig, but Warner Bros. is hoping to make it the Year of the Turtle. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hollywood's most successful pizza-eating adolescent reptiles, are hoping to make a smashing big-screen comeback in a new computer-animated adventure. The back story, for those who don't remember, is that a toxic waste spill mutates ordinary turtles into humanoid fighting machines, who are named after Renaissance painters and report to a martial-arts master who is a rat, named Splinter. (Caught up? Good.) The new threat: Max Winters (X-Men's Patrick Stewart), a tech industrialist who is amassing an army of monsters in the city. Picking up where the previous live-action movies left off, Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael reunite to fight him. Is it just me, or do their plastrons (front shell) look a little low? Kinda like they're wearing bathing suits? I just flipped through some of my pics of them, and their plastrons are higher up, almost right up to their shoulders. I remember this one scene in Leonardo's Christmas Eve fight where a ninja manages to get the tip of a kama into his shoulder, and it seemed less like an open area and more like a chink in the armor. Wait a sec...okay, found it. (damn, it's a rush reading through that issue, too. Leo was kicking some serious ass in that one. It's a shame we never really got a reason for why he was out there beyond "an exercise run," and that's only according to Donatello was probably busy cooking at the time and only paid Leonardo half an ear. Even if Leonardo hadn't gone out, the Foot clan obviously knew where they were and were obviously coming for them.) (7 Comments | Comment on this)
