yendi1. Ken Jennings just got ninja'd. (Having been there and done that myself, I do empathize. Multiple folks often come up with good ideas for jokes, after all.)
2. Insurance company denies coverage based on out-of-context, locked-down Facebook photos. Is there currently any industry -- and I'm including organized crime here -- that's less classy? (And yes, I can think of a few ways they could have gotten the photos without hacking, but that doesn't make this any less disgusting.)
3. Matt Taibbi on the difference between Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin.
4. Small Beer Press takes "inspiration" from the ever-so-ethical folks at Harlequin (read with a grain of sale, of course).
5. Oh noes! There's an Eggo shortage!
6. The complete Daria is coming to DVD! Yay!
7. The AJC has a profile on a day in the life of a repo man. It's relatively non-critical, but still interesting.
8. Yet another reason I love Warren Ellis.
9. JMS is remaking Forbidden Planet! I predict that it'l start slowly, become absolutely riveting shortly after the halfway point, and end up withe the worst ending since The Mist.
10. Finally, because the web truly has everything, here's a collection of People Eating Weird Things.

Date: 2009-11-23 10:55 pm (UTC)9) This is an abomination. I predict that it will suck ass all the way from now until doomsday. I'm hoping it meets the fate of all other attempts at remaking Forbidden Planet: it dies before it is finished.

Date: 2009-11-24 02:56 am (UTC)As for the insurance benefits, I'm pretty sure there's more than meets the eye here. I've worked in car insurance just long enough now to see the lengths people will go, from fake lease agreements through fraudulent signed statements and on to forged ID cards. Insurance companies may be slimy, but for every person screwed by the company, two people are screwing the company.
