“Name ONE time in human history when the group fighting to ban books and censor speech were the good guys.”
“I’ll wait…”

I just clicked on the new iTunes “Genius Mixes” button for the first time, and this is what came up:
"But what kind of fools are they?"
The illiterate kind, the unintentionally honest kind, or the “we’ll say anything to get your attention” kind?
What'cha gonna do...
…when they come for you.
(and, yes, it’s actually called Rubber Duck Project 2009, or, locally, アヒルプロジェクト2009; both searches will pull up some decent pictures)
Words to live by...
…briefly.
「ンガイ・ングアグアア・ブグ＝ショゴグ・イハア、ヨグ＝ソトホース、ヨグ＝ソトホース……」
「イグナイイ……イグナイイ……トゥフルトゥクングア……ヨグ＝ソトホース……」
「イブトゥンク……ヘフイエ――ングルクドルウ……」
An-du-torowa
Decpihering loanwords in Japanese can be a bit of a challenge. Today’s example is アン・ドゥ・トロワ, an-du-torowa. I don’t think I’d have gotten it if I hadn’t found a video clip of a song by that name.
Dear SFGate,
I believe you have chosen the wrong word for the activity described in this headline:
Bay Bridge crews scuttle to fix span by Tuesday
[aw, they finally fixed it (the headline, that is). shame, really]
Dear Erika Yazawa,
(updated with Youtube embed, which actually works…)
You’re a very cute, very busty, quite popular, just-turned-18 member of a popular idol group, with numerous sexy photobooks and DVDs to your credit, and this is how they’re advancing your career? You’re not kidding? This is not a parody trailer?
Speaking of glasses...
There exists an official manga adaptation of G-On Riders. It tells basically the same story, with two key differences: full-frontal nudity and lesbian foreplay.
When I reached the hot-springs scene where Yuki and Yayoi lick melting ice cream off of Sela’s body, I had to go look it up to make sure it wasn’t a doujin parody comic. No, it’s legit, and it’s ecchi, and in the final battle, every female character in the series is completely naked.
Yes, them too.
