O'Reilly's a Dick

But this is fucking stupid. If you're in a public-relations battle with someone, even someone who calls you a Nazi terrorist-sympathizer, why on earth would you do something that's going to generate sympathy for them ? Why make O'Reilly look like an average guy who's being harassed at home by some sign-waving lunatic ?

And the guy who did it calls himself a "reporter", and that this stunt was some kind of exposé or something. What a fucking idiot.

The World’s Stupidest Fatwas

Here's one:

    Many Muslims believe that unmarried men and women should not work alone together—a stricture that can pose problems in today's global economy. So one Islamic scholar came up with a novel solution: If a woman were to breast-feed her male colleague five times, the two could safely be alone together. “A woman at work can take off the veil or reveal her hair in front of someone whom she breast-fed,” he wrote in an opinion issued in May 2007.

Another Fun Bites The Dust

Marijuana may increase psychosis risk

    Using marijuana seems to increase the chance of becoming psychotic, researchers report in an analysis of past research that reignites the issue of whether pot is dangerous.

    Some experts say governments should now work to dispel a misconception that marijuana is a benign drug.

    The new review suggests that even infrequent use could raise the small but real risk of this serious mental illness by 40 percent.

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, no fun, no sin, no you. No wonder it's dark.

Please, Bill O'Reilly, Have Mercy

Hunter, at Daily Kos (the evil liberal overlords of American lefty blogging) makes a funny:

    Please, Bill O'Reilly, spare us from your savage and inexplicable rage. We can't take any more of it. Being defended by Keith Olbermann... being roundly and sternly publicized by Stephen Colbert... it's all too much. The extra traffic, the publicity, the footage of your narcissistic tantrums... the subsequent exposure of hate speech and death threats on your pay-to-post blog. How can any liberal website withstand such a well-planned assault?

Found on Fark. I don't even read Kos.
