Apparently the reason I like dick is because I listened to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem, and Brittney Spears when I was young...

For Red Hot Chili Peppers? Totally worth it. I guess I must be in denial.

The "safe" list is almost as amazing. You hear that, Creed & Evanescence? LoveGodsWay loves you!

Some people are clearly fucking with them, that is the only way I can imagine Dadaist Japanese Noise Band "The Boredoms" being classified as a gateway to homosexuality. Or classified at all for that matter.

One of the possible qualifications for 'gateway to gay' is non-Christian. In fact, that seems to be the most commonly used one.

I just found today it's parody, though no one's quite sure how much...

I just love the* fact* that The Dresden Dolls is on the Safe List

*ok, to be fair, these two are her solo work, but still...

Don't know about Creed, but Evanescence started as a Christian band, so that's not a shock.

The guy's explanation does not really make him more sympathetic. For all I know it sounded as bad as it sounds in his explanation. In which case, ban the fucker.

Decency. Coming to an internet near you soon.

Guy makes threat against Wizards employee, gets banned from Wizards events. Sounds like the correct response to me.

There is some form of irony (it's subtle, I'd say only aleph one of infinity) considering the alledged incidents of sexual harrassment possibly made by people directly or indirectly involved with WoTC against others. But I'll leave that for those who know.

I'm pretty sure that's a joke. Cole is the name of the guy from 12 Monkeys.

Shit, you mean he isn't really from the future?

I missed the 12 Monkeys reference, but I thought the Back to the Future reference was a dead give-away.

It bothers me that he claims he is from a world with limitless power and that he was looking for fuel.

Of course it's a joke. Didn't you see the stupid "Mr Fusion" reference from Back to the Future? The notion that any future fusion technology would depend on used bananna peels and other food refuse is a practically pattented pun.

The April 1 dateline is what tipped me off.

I've never actually seen Back to the Future, so I couldn't catch those references. 12 Monkeys was an amazing movie though.

MAMMOTHS

I know, it's the Daily Mail, but it isn't about tits or immigrants.

Vaguely interesting (though I'm pretty sure I heard/read about this 5 years ago... and there was a documentary about it ~20 years ago called "Jurassic Park"), but the best bits are the comments:

I wonder what it will taste like?

I think this could breath new life into the Ivory industry!

The second point is actually sort of close.

I don't think straight-cloning is a good idea in general.

But I can see a -lot- of mileage from being able to grow tissues and organs.

I'm pretty sure they were thinking "We could make whole mammoths to kill for their ivory!"
