the united states vs mary poppins

Posted by bryanz on Mon Nov 24 2008 14:49 (Link)
i think if mary poppins had been released in the modern day, disney would be sued for encouraging drug use in minors. "just a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down..."
i can just see some idiot kid sitting in the bathroom with a pound of sugar, overdosing on mom and dad's meds, and mom and dad suing disney.
just a random cynical thought for the day.

bush approval rating lowest in history

wow. poor georgie. his approval rating is the lowest ever recorded since the ratings were first started. 76% of people disapprove of him, with nixon in second place at 66% when he resigned after watergate.

i've been reading the bbc to see what people outside the US think of obama's win, and surprisingly they didn't really go into how big a deal it is for us to have a black president. they finally wrote one though:

escaped rhino!

the japanese really go the extra mile when it comes to safety simulations. they built a rhino costume to use for practicing escaped rhino drills at a zoo. the video is hilarious, especially when they hit the thing with a tranq gun.
