British Police Defend 'Underpants' Advice
Thursday, July 13, 2006 now part of stylesheet -->
(07-13) 14:15 PDT LONDON, United Kingdom (AP) --
A British police force on Thursday defended a magazine article advising women intent on getting drunk to make sure they are wearing nice underpants.
Suffolk Police in eastern England said the "tongue-in-cheek" advice in the police-backed magazine Safe was intended to curb binge-drinking by young women.
An article in the debut issue advises women "intent on getting ratted" to ensure they are "wearing nice pants" in case they pass out.
It also tells young women that too much alcohol can leave them looking like "wrinkly old prunes."
The force said the publication — designed as an eye-catching spoof gossip magazine and distributed free through shops, clubs and colleges — offered safety advice to young women.
It is produced by a coalition of police, local government and health organizations.
"That article is a very, very small part of the magazine," said a police spokeswoman, speaking on the force's customary condition of anonymity. "The whole magazine does not revolve around what people should wear when they go out."
The Suzy Lamplugh Trust, a women's safety charity, acknowledged the article appeared odd, but said the police should be applauded for trying to reach young women.
"When you see quotes out of context, it seems very odd. But when you see it in context you get the spoof," spokeswoman Jo Walker said.
"Perhaps it's gone a bit too far, but you've got to give police credit for trying.
"It's definitely getting attention, and I think it will get young girls talking about it."

Happy Birthday Google!

New Weird Al Video: White and Nerdy

Watch his White and nerdy video. Trust me, this is some splendorific spectacularness.

Be sure to keep your eyes open for the Star Wars Kid reference.

By the way, its available on the 26th, and since this is a dual disc, you're getting an audio disc as well as videos.

Eat Green and Die

According to Time, the $2.6 billion prewashed salad industry is at stake, clinging to their very roots for survival. Right now, Americans are emptying out their produce drawers following an E. coli scare that would have Popeye spinning in his grave. What spawned this mass terror? Over a hundred people have eaten contaminated fresh spinach, causing mass intestinal disturbances and one fatality. California is the source of the E. coli, so this should be the perfect opportunity for Governor Arnold to test his mettle against a new kind of bad guy: non-Predator, non-Terminator, and non-Democrat. Will the Kindergarten Cop defeat the bad bug? Well…maybe with the help of the CDC. Until then, I recommend avoiding manure-contaminated spinach and opting for a healthier alternative instead: twinkies. Lard and sugar are thus far impervious to attacks by the coli family…apparently even bacteria have their standards. Ironically enough, most Americans (including me) would probably risk dropping dead at the tender age of 35 to avoid something that is already present in their bodies, peacefully digesting all those partially hydrogenated oils. Then again, if we lived long enough, we’d develop brain cancer from our cell phones.

ITV Strikes Back

Day 2 of classes. ITV is new and different this semester...not exactly better either. The long and the short of it is, all of the colleges switched from the dedicated T1 lines to plain internet at 256K. On top of that, Colby is generally inaccessible because all of their addresses got screwed up I guess. And I broke the VCR today. Yep. If I had a screwdriver, I'd take it apart and try to fix it. So it's good that I don't have a screwdriver. But enough of work. Hays is sunny and a beautiful 82 degrees out. Perfect weather for frisbee golf, laying in a shady hammock, or Oversized Outdoor Ping Pong (also known as tennis) if you're into that sort of thing. So right now there's this girl sitting in Tomanek crying on the phone (she's been doing this for at least an hour now) about various random topics like athletic shorts...I don't really get it but she's getting annoying. For the love of Alltel, get some Prozac! And in other news, there is a tree in San Antonio that is self-watering.

INTERNET

I finally have the internet again!

Flying Paul

So in three days I hit up kansas city, dallas, san antonia, and dever. Yea airports are great. Don't care on any liquids or gel either.

Flying Monkeys

The squirrels have not got me yet. The penguin army keeps me safe. Mind you this is not al gores penguin army as you might have seen on utube, but mine own pengiun army.

Anyway. I am doing good. I am working on the leader webpage and working for the Consortium Research Fellows Program which is a very nice deal. I also am flying to San Antonio this next week. After that school starts which should be a nice change.

That is live in Hays.

Angular People Summer Holiday

More of the same band, I told Shayne about this, so here you go.

In the spirit of YouTube

Ketelbey

Here's a video I really like of a band I fell in love with recently. The song starts off with the singer talking about how he saw a cat, but at closer look it turned out to be a piece of bread, but only one slice, only one slice.

Moskau

Great YouTube video Moskau. Remember The Leafman Group? Think along those lines, only no leaves, just Germans dressed up all Russian like.

And for some reason, here is a longer video of it, in some sort of language I can't understand (Japanese, perhaps?). Also good.

Happy 4th
