Teh interesting (non-PHL-related) news stub thread

No, Wapakman, no. Just no.

I was told a long time ago that the reason this song was so deadly was because everyone wanted to sing My Way... well, in their way. And you know you can't really repeat a song someone else has sung out of karaoke etiquette. So I guess it's more of frustration for the other guys when they can't sing it.

The song title seems to be begging for it to be sung in one's own way. Why couldn't "We Are the Champions" have been popularized in karaoke bars instead

Japan has 3,600,000 hikikomori

Japan’s Minister of Internal Affairs has announced that the government finds there to be a total of 3,600,000 hikikomori in the country, and stressed the need to tackle the supposed problem.

The precise methodology the ministry used to come to this figure, and what it defines a hikikomori as, are however not clear – it would be far from the first time a government has manufactured dubious statistics in order to support its desired legislation.

Anti-gay pastor pushes advocacy...with hardcore gay porn
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg...342S01.DTL

Uhh, what?

A Ugandan pastor is showing gay pornography at church to try to garner support for a proposed law that would impose the death penalty for some gays. Martin Ssempa showed the videos to some 100 adults during a church service Wednesday in Uganda's capital.

He says he plans to show the films regularly to educate churchgoers on gay sex and also plans to show the videos to parliamentarians. He says some churchgoers cried after watching the videos, which he said he downloaded from the Internet. Ugandan gay rights activist Julian Peppe condemned Ssempa's decision to show pornography in church, saying he should be arrested and needs mental rehabilitation.

The proposed bill has sparked protests in London, New York and Washington.

The way I see it, could only have gotten that vid off the net through two ways:

1. He torrented it, hence making him guilty of piracy
2. He subscribed to a gay porn site

And he calls gays sick

[Serene]

Don't forget:
3. He watched it!
