AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I'm smart enough to wait for international approval.

I mean, he is.

Elizabeth Taylor died this morning...which is strange because I was just talking about her last night.

Rebecca Black is now rich, bitch.
Couldn't help the Chapelle reference.

Anyway, her album has sold well over iTunes.

Seriously? Justin Bieber, Twilight and every other fad that the internet hates, I could still understand. I could see how someone might like it. But this... this is probably the worst song(Friday, fyi) I have ever heard. It's not even catchy.

I don't think that most of the purchases were because the buyers thought the song was good, but because they thought it was hilarious/bad/hilariously bad.

You know, like "Hey, friend! Come listen to this song!"
"LOL IT IS AWFUL"
"I KNOW, RIGHT?"

... I can't imagine anyone paying for a song because of that, especially since it's on youtube and all.

I can't imagine anyone paying for fart noise apps on the iPhone. Yet they do.

And so my faith in humanity drops again. Point taken.

Here lies Elizabeth Taylor.

She hated being called Liz.

NECROEDIT: Miley Cyrus thinks YouTube stars haven't paid their dues. They should have worked harder to get where they are. Or had a dad in the business. Either way works.

Mooooooore on Japaaaan

Montgomery Dickson, or "Monty-san", as the locals called him, is the last missing JET teacher in Japan. He has been missing since the earthquake.

Taylor Anderson, a 24-year-old from Richmond, Va., was also a member of the JET programme and the first known American victim of the quake and tsunami.

Some of the world's largest cement pumps were en route to Japan's stricken nuclear plant on Thursday, initially to help douse areas with water but eventually for cement work - including the possibility of entombing the site as was done in Chernobyl.
Operated via remote control, one of the truck-mounted pumps was already at the Fukushima Dai-ichi site and being used to spray water. Four more will be flown in from Germany and the United States, according to the German-manufacturer Putzmeister. The biggest of the five has an arm that extends well over 200 feet.
"Initially, they will probably pump water," Putzmeister stated. "Later they will be used for any necessary concreting work."
A construction company in Augusta, Ga., was among those redirecting the pumps to Japan. Its owner said he believes building a concrete sarcophagus will follow.
"Our understanding is they are preparing to go to next phase and it will require a lot of concrete," Jerry Ashmore told the Augusta Chronicle.
He did not expect the pump to return. "It will be too hot to come back," Ashmore said.
A cargo plane is expected to fly the truck and pump from Atlanta next week at a cost of $1.4 million.
Putzmeister concrete pumps were among those used to seal in the Chernobyl reactor after it exploded in Ukraine in 1986, and sightings of the first truck at the Dai-ichi complex last week led to media speculation that Japan was planning to do the same in Fukushima.

The latest research on the March 11 tsunami that slammed into Ofunato city in Iwate Prefecture, northern Japan shows that it was nearly 30 meters high (about 100 feet).
A joint research team from Yokohama National University and University of Tokyo surveying the Ofunato city shoreline made the discovery.
They found fishing equipment scattered on the high cliff of the city's Ryori Bay and have determined the tsunami reached as high as 29.6 meters.
The research group says the great height of the tsunami was formed by the shape of the narrow bay. They will continue to survey traces of the tsunami to clarify the scale of the tsunami.

Seems that Australia is putting a bill against bullying. If it passess, those who bully others will be sent to prison, maximum sentence being 10 years.

This was decided after a 19 year old girl tried to suicide from being bullied at work. She tried to poison herself with rat poison and when she recovered, her co-workers even put rat poison in her purse and encouraged her to drink it.

Good show I say that they're finally doing something against bullying.

I just hope they remember this can also be used in reverse. Mal-adjusted people getting back at co-workers who played an innocent prank etc.

It's sometimes hard to see the difference.

And you thought Japan was all well and done? THINK AGAIN. a 7.4 "aftershock" just hit Japan again.

I heard it was 7.1.

Aftershocks range from tiny shakes to high-power quakes. Aftershock.

Our two-party system is cocking it up again.

Soldiers can die for free, but Senators get paid to dick around and blame each other. Canada looks better every day.
