Well, only for adult content.

The ban has been made by the Australian Classification Board allegedly on the grounds that they could seem to be too pedophilic.

The article goes on to say that female ejaculation was also banned, on the grounds that…

“…the depictions are a form of urination which is banned under the label of ‘golden showers’ in the Classification Guidelines” and/or “Female ejaculation is an ‘abhorrent’ depiction.”

The article also points out that male ejaculation is completely legal under the same guidelines.

It doesn’t stop there.

Much much more than millions of sites could potentially be banned with this change.

“Under Australian law, any site linking to a site that has been refused classification is also refused classification, so something as simple as a series of swapped links on a porn site which shows neither small breasts or female ejaculation would be banned.”

That’s some crazy stuff, man. Hit the jump below to read the article:

Leave Brown Bear alone! What did he ever do?

Well, the Texas Education Board is linking him to capitalism. No lie.

“In its haste to sort out the state’s social studies curriculum standards this month, the State Board of Education tossed children’s author Martin, who died in 2004, from a proposal for the third-grade section. Board member Pat Hardy, R-Weatherford, who made the motion, cited books he had written for adults that contain “very strong critiques of capitalism and the American system.” (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/education/stories/012510dntexbooks.3e17c50.html)

BESIDES HOW OBVIOUS IT IS THAT THIS MAKES NO SENSE, you wouldn’t be surprised to hear that Texas majorly goofed. How did this happen..?

The authors of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and a 2008 book called Ethical Marxism: The Categorical Imperative of Liberation share the same name. However, they ARE NOT the same person. The one linked to Marxism is a philosophy professor at DePaul University in Chicago, AND his book was published four years AFTER the author of the popular children’s book died.

Ohhh Texas. Way to go.

PETA is up to its ridiculous antics again. With Groundhog’s Day approaching, they insist on bringing Punxsutawney Phil, America’s beloved groundhog, into it.

What has got their panties in a bunch this time? -You may ask. Well, they think an animatronic model of Phil should be used as his robotic stand in. Oh PETA…

“People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says it’s unfair to keep the animal in captivity and subject him to the huge crowds and bright lights that accompany tens of thousands of revelers each Feb. 2 in Punxsutawney, a tiny borough about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.” (http://mddailyrecord.com/2010/01/27/peta-wants-a-robot-punxsutawney-phil-for-groundhog-day/)

I love their use of words like “reveler.”

Too bad for PETA, but something is telling me its just not going to happen.

So, for those of you that are interested in what the critter cutie will be predicting for this Spring’s weather, you can text “groundhog” to 247365 by February 2nd and find out if the little guy sees his shadow or not. My fingers are crossed for Spring!

Some scientists that have been working for NASA have been getting mice to levitate by simulating different levels of gravity.

“ It consists of a superconducting magnet that generates a field powerful enough to levitate the water inside living animals, with a space inside warm enough at room temperature and large enough at 2.6 inches wide (6.6 cm) for tiny creatures to float comfortably in during experiments.”

I thought it sounded kind of sad because the article reported the mice were disoriented by it, but I guess after a few hours they had already adjusted to it.

This is Anne Schollard and her man, Staff Sgt. Patrick Thomas, she lives in Jacksonville and carries him around with her everywhere she goes.

I found this really amusing. It’s so weird. Apparently, all you have to do is poke them with sticks. Uh-mazing! I like watching the rhino bobble around, it puts a smile on my face. :]
