Reuters extravaganza
After last year's much-debated PSP "graffiti" ads, Sony is at it again. This time pissing off all sorts of people in Holland.
Seriously?
I guess if you're one of those all-press-is-good-press types then Sony is doing a bang up job!
My take? If you're going to do something that could possibly be seen as racist, use some discretion. For example: don't put the black guy in some Uncle Tom's Cabin/Kara Walker-style threads that just scream, "Antebellum!" while the white chick looks like she hopped right out of some 23rd century flying saucer.

Chicken lays mystery Allah egg
If you wanted to, I guess you could say this proves something. Too bad it's not closer to Easter, dear friends, because you all would be getting baskets full of Allah eggs along with your chocolate bunnies.
Paralyzed man moves computer cursor through thought
And if the appearance of Allah on Earth weren't enough to convince you the end of days is nigh, even a little paralysis can't keep this dude away from his gmail.
According to Wired magazine, excessive Internet use can lower your I.Q. 10 pts. Excessive pot smoking? 4.
The moral of the story: stop telepathically picking up chicks on Myspace and get in touch with your inner Haile Selassie, dude.
Few workers who could telecommute do so: study
Sure I'm not getting paid to clap away on my keyboard all day, so what I "do" doesn't exactly count as "telecommuting," but I can see why people who actually have careers wouldn't go for it. I'm going nuts locked away in the house. My dad, on the other hand, has fully embraced the idea of working from home - pajamas and all. To each his own.
