    I was about to say the end result looked surprisingly natural, but then I scrolled past the first picture...

    Just got an email from Friends Reuinited saying they were shutting it down. Apparently some people still used it. I don't know if that fact, or the fact that it still existed in a usable form is the bigger shock.

    I gave him the benefit of doubt when I first saw this.... just assuming he was having a massive lol at anyone who believed him. However, the ruse did go on for a long time.

    There was a belter in our local paper over Christmas, although sadly it's not online. The background is that a few months ago the local cinema (which is publicly funded) removed its popcorn machine and started serving pre-bagged stuff. There was a big outcry from idiots who barely go there anyway, and then it sort of simmered down, only for the announcement that several weeks on a Community Council meeting had been derailed by somebody demanding action be taken. I wish I could remember the headline as I don't even think it was supposed to be mocking.

    The latest one is people complaining that the geography of the fictional BBC drama 'Shetland' doesn't completely match that of the real Shetland.

    "They travelled north from Lerwick and ended up in Sumburgh! Completely ruined things for me."

    I wish I was joking.

    You get a lot of that on IMDb. I make a game of matching guest stars in things I'm watching to other things I've seen them in and use IMDb to confirm, so I land on quite a lot of shows I wouldn't otherwise be looking at, and the 'forum' preview thing shows a den of absolute lunacy on most of them. There was someone complaining about the length of a flight on the Criminal Minds page, there's always at least one 'I'm from [place] and IT IS NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!' wherever you go.

    Incidentally, everyone has been in Home Improvement.

    Never before have a website and a story been so perfectly in sync.

    “I see commonalities between humans and potatoes that speak to our relationship as individuals within a collective species. Generally, the life of a harvested potato is violent and taken for granted. I use the potato as a proxy for the ontological study of the human experience.”
    You fucking wot?

    Fine, I'll post it here then, Italnazi.

    You couldn't make this up, really. And no, Ital, this isn't me espousing views on child sexuality. It's espousing my views on the options given to them that they neither need nor want. It's a perfectly legitimate topic.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/...ng-survey.html

    Children have been asked to describe their gender from a list of more than 20 different options in a survey criticised as "profoundly confusing".
    Youngsters aged from 13 to 18 were asked to select from 25 choices, including "gender fluid", "genderqueer" and "non-binary".
    As well as traditional options of "girl" and "boy", children were also invited to select from a list that included "tri-gender" and "intersex"

    The national survey was linked from the website of the Children's Commissioner for England, Anne Longfield, and was forwarded to some schools by local councils.
    But the question asking children to define their gender was criticised by the Christian Institute as "totally misleading" and "profoundly confusing" for girls and boys.
    Its spokesman Simon Calvert said: "We must not intrude on childhood by deliberately confusing schoolchildren about what makes a boy a boy or a girl a girl just to satisfy adult political agendas.

    "We must protect children from being made to feel that passing phases of confused feeling about themselves, which many go through, must be turned into life-changing moral and political decisions."

    It has emerged that the survey has now been withdrawn. A spokesman at Ms Longfield's office said there had been a "clerical error" and the survey was only a draft.
    The survey will be redrafted with the question asking children to define their gender removed, the spokesman added.
    Among the schools to issue the survey was Blatchington Mill in Hove, East Sussex, which has gained a strong reputation for its work on LGBT-related issues.
    Its headteacher Ashley Harrold said: "Gender identity is a real and valid concern for some students at any school, and we're no exception.
    "We feel our curriculum should address anything that prevents students feeling happy, feeling confident in themselves and feeling accepted by their peers."
    A Brighton and Hove City Council spokesman, which forwarded the national survey to all its secondary schools at the request of Ms Longfield's office, said it was aimed at exploring young people's experiences of gender.
    The spokesman said: "We want all our young people to feel comfortable with who they are, to understand that the notion of gender can go beyond the traditional idea of simply being either male and female, and to recognise that people can use a range of terms to describe their gender identity."

    Oooh I didn't even know that (you don't get the pop-up message now). To be expected, I suppose. The warning area is basically a homage to me.
