Really? The Ultimate Body Shaper
Hahahaha....
So I just saw this and laughed uncontrolably.
Every now and again, us women want a body shaper of sorts. Suck and suck, smooth out... whatever. Well this one seems to be able to work utter MAGIC! The women at the beginning of the commercial are in teh 200 lb range... but as soon as we bust out the product, they manage to become about 100 lb range. ASTONISHING!
The computer reconstruction shows a loss of about an entire person... lucky it's very realistic hahahaha.
And the model trying on the garment... literally in a bikini and in need of a sandwitch.
I don't even know what else to say about this bad boy....

April Fool's Worm a Serious Computer Threat
CNN has recently posted an article voicing a serious concern about a computer worm (essentially a type of virus) that could have dire consequences if ignited on April 1st, as it is believed to be.
With many of us students relying on our typed notes, and having many final papers due, I thought I would mention it. As of now, it's threats have been undetectable to most as it will simply block windows updates and virus protection updates as to have them not attain the updates necessary to stop this worm. It is believed that when ignited, it will delete all the files from a person's computer, as well as monitor the users keyboard action as a means of attaining personal information and passwords.
If you want to know if you are infected, note when was the last time you had a windows or any kind of update. If you have had one since March, you should be in the clear. If not, check it out. Windows recommends going here http://safety.live.com for possible information.
Be alert, and check it out. There are important details and whatnot available here:\

They outline steps being taken to prevent this worm from affecting anyone... but just be safe!!

Britney, Beeotch
So in my class today, we were given an assignment and with disdain i responded "Ugh, brutal, I am going to a concert the next day." So, someone asked me what concert, and I responded that I was going to see Britney Spears. And of course, the extreme intellect contained in my basic normative ethics course were riddled with uproar. Surely, I must be an idiot.
One student responded "You know she lipsynchs, right?" Could we be more condescending? Did she think I was unaware of this and she was bursting my grade 9 bubble? I also know Santa doesn't exist and that wrestling isn't real....
I laughed and said I knew, and another student was like "OH right! Let me guess, you must be going to experience the extreme intellect and musical integrity, right?"
Now... if you know anything about me... you know I am addicted to rageohol. So my only possible response was as follows... (note the extreme sarcasm). "Really? You're going to judge my intellect based on this? I think that I expose myself to enough intellectual activity on a regular basis to warrant my listening to bad music. I am so sorry if in between a lecture and after making a phone call based on political involvement, and while on my way to my internship, I like to blast pop music in my car. I am so sorry if after an 18 hour day of classes, meetings, and working, I like to go out with friends and unwind by dancing to some bubblegum pop. Lucky for me, I don't feel the need to wear multicoloured plastic bracelets and pretend to understand the musical integrity behind Nickleback in order to be a cool."
Bitches shut up fast.
I never claimed that Britney was a mathematician, or even that she was a gifted song writer. All anyone could infer was that I liked listening to the music associated with Britney Spears. How is there anything wrong with that? I don't see how liking some smutty music at all degrades my intellectual integrity. Guess what, I also like 50 cent and the Spice Girls, and every now and again I watch Manswers on Spike TV. I recognize smut, and I also recognize when I want to enjoy some smutty entertainment as a means of unwinding. I don't have to justify anything by also claiming that I believe Brandon Boyd to be one of the great poets of our time, or that I read essays and nonfiction books until my eyes hurt, even after writing my 3 essays for the day and after attending a legal debate.
This was a battle that was mostly fought by people in high school when it's still cool to pretend to reject pop culture and simply adopt an 'alternative' view of pop culture that they find in other mass read blogs and magazines.
Bleh, no more ranting... I CAN'T WAIT FOR BRITNEY!!! WOOOOO!!!

Political and Legal Philosophy's Role in Animal Rights
Interesting?
In a way, yes. It seems that nowadays, we have all kinds of groups, mainly radical, that attempt to provide arguments for and against our right to use animals as our own property.
Well, in studying some early modern philosophy, it seems that there are various ideologies and arguments about private property that have been in debate for hundred of years that seem to lend some words to such a debate.
Going to an old favorite, we can look at John Locke's foundation as an attempt to study private property. For Locke, private property is a relationship between people and objects, or so it seems. My ownership of my house is a relationship between me and my house. And in nature, it seems we do not have anything above communal ownership until we make some sort of an agreement.
Another philosopher who looked at this would be Poofendorf. In his view, private property involves the relationship between people and other people (with respect to property). Like for instance, I have a relationship with you, in that I can prohibit you from entering the house which I own.
We have a natural right to things, because, by nature we NEED certain things in nature for our survival and it could not be a "sin" to thus use those resources.
So the question is, do we need animals? Do we have the right to them because we need them? Realistically, we could argue that we need other humans in the same way as we need other animals, and intuitively, we do not have the right to other humans.
Poofendorf would argue that in order to have certain outlined principles, we need a sense of consent. Unfortunately for animals, we are incapable of entering an agreement with them as we cannot effectively communicate with them. Therefore they are not in the same moral community as them, and thus do not owe them any rights.
So... let's eat 'em!
But what if we look at this from the other side? Poofendorf, Grotius, Locke and Hobbes all seem to agree that there is a level of consent necessary before we can exercise certain rights. So can't we say that because of our inability to have consent from the animals, and our inability to make an agreement with them, then we have no real rights over them.
Poofendorf views us as being at war with the animals due to our inability to consent with them. If a tiger is going to kill me, I am in a state of war, and thus have the right to kill... and eat it. But surely we cannot be said to be at war with cultivated chickens! I would be tempted to doubt that a solitary cultivated chicken would be a regular threat to my life.
This is an interesting debate. It's not so much the literature itself that I find interesting... more the fact that we can date this debate far back to times before Pam Anderson told us she's rather go naked than wear fur.

What's the Only Season Almost as Good as Hockey Season?
APPRENTICE SEASON!
So it's time for celebrity apprentice, round 2!!
This season's cast has some celebs which are even more d-list then we could have imagined. HOWEVER, there are some exciting faces like Joan Rivers and Dennis Rodman.
It's started off strong, and in the first two episodes, the men's team has taken the the big loss.
I for one, could not be more excited!!
The challenges thus far have been the same lame tasks, take the same idea (Selling food out of a cart) and changes a small element (hot dog season one, cupcake season 2).
But in true Apprentice fashion... it was awesome!!
I can't wait for it to unfold!

I'm Writing a Book
Ambitious, isn't it?
It's definately a venting mechanism as is the blog. When my hands are idle and I just want to write write write, I turn to this book.
By "writing a book" I mean that i wrote most of a possible book in about a day or so hahaha. Wanna read it?
Here is the first page... tell me what you think!
This delivery was more intimidating than most. I guess it was because for the first time, I was the face. Mr. Davian was nicer to females, at least that’s what they told me. That’s why they thought it would all go better if I was the face. I tried to be as calm as possible, because I was supposed to be the pro, but my palms were still so sweaty. I don’t think I showed it in my face, at least I think I didn’t, because Davian was looking right at me and didn’t seem to notice a thing. It was a good thing everything moved fast, because my palms were so sweaty that I could hardly grip the briefcase. 3 kilos. 350 kilos. No not in the case in my hand, but I was promising 350 kilos. That’s Pablo Escabar kind of shit, all being promised by me to Mr. Davian. I could feel my face turning red, but the room was dark, so no one seemed to notice. Davian insisted on frisking me, rather than having his guards do it. This was defiantly letting his guard down, but I figured it was all part of his persona of enjoying female faces. My heart was beating so rapidly that I could hear it, but I took solace in the fact that I was likely the only one who could do so. I handed over the case and kept all conversation to a minimum. “A sample.” I watched while Davian pried open my case and stabbed one of the tiny plastic bags inside with what I assume was a solid gold pocket knife. He scooped up a small amount of the powder and craned it toward his face. I must have looked so nervous, because without breaking his eye contact with me, he changed his range of motion and fed the powder up the nose of one of his many goons.
“Shit, I can barely feel my face.” The goon seemed to enjoy the product I was presenting. Davian gave me his creepiest laugh. This somehow relieved me. He reached out and shook my hand. And that’s when it all went sour.
AH THIS IS EMBARASSING. I don't imagine I will leave this post up for very long
