The SEOians may be upset about this horrid loss of a radio comrade. But at least they have their clever wit, sick twisted humor, their own ipods and LFO to get off on in [...]

For those not in the know, the herpes references do have a legitimate precedent, namely the origin story of the band Godsmack’s name.
Erna stated in a 1999 interview that “I was making fun of somebody who had a cold sore on his lip and the next day I had one myself and somebody said, ‘It’s [...]

Hard on the heels of that mind blowing letter of protest came another. Let it never be said that direct reasoning and protest is useless.

Chocolate Rain, that agitatingly infectious little ditty from a little while back, caught the attention of the Dr. Pepper marketing [...]

When I was at the Gathering of the Vibes earlier this year, there was a peace demonstration on Sunday (the last day). The theme was unity.

If you’re in the mood to unearth evidence of spin control and disinformation on that internet bastion (or bastard depending on one’s viewpoint) of information, Wikipedia, then Wired’s blog Threat Level has just the post for you.
