A Fine Example of Why Local News is Dying - http://blogs.howstuffworks.com/2009...
"My point is that there’s a guy in Arizona whose neighbors, thanks to a half-hearted report by his local CBS affiliate, now likely think he watches the skies, hangs out on weekends along the fence surrounding Area 51 and probably kind of liked the probing he got from the alien he believes abducted him for a tour of crop circles. This is why local news is dying a fast, gushy death."

"If you're concerned about Google retaining your personal data, then you must be doing something you shouldn't be doing. At least that's the word from Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

Honestly, every time I see the ad for this movie, I just wonder why the one time a Disney fairy tale movie had black folks in it they had to turn into frogs....

The fact that she wants to run a restaurant is hardly what I'd call breaking the typical Hollywood stereotype.

No, it was Last Holiday, the one where she worked at a department store and thought she was dying of a terminal illness.
- Alex Scoble
Isn't owning a restaurant one of those super common dreams? Like running a b&b, and now apparently selling cupcakes (I fail at being original on the last one). I didn't think it mattered what race. It's not like she's Asian and trying to run a laundry mat or Hispanic and doing lawns.
- Heather
Having just watched War Games today (which is what spawned http://friendfeed.com/head-to... ), I'm going to have to say that David was more interested in playing games than making them.
- Andy Bakun
My point is that there's nothing groundbreaking about this other than the princess's race isn't white. Baby steps, I guess.
- Alex Scoble
I think it's better to take baby steps, because then later on the movies will blend and nothing will really say "Oman! Look when they tried so hard to prove they weren't racist!" It's more natural.
- Heather
Alex, trust me - the fact that there is a black princess at all *IS* groundbreaking. Just take a look at the princesses in Disney history and you'll understand why (hint: no matter what DIsney's marketing team says, Pocahantas and Mulan don't count). I'm also going to cut this film a helluva lot of slack because it is set in New Orleans, and her dream, instead of being swept away by a...

And yes, I'm thrilled that there's finally an African American Disney princess, for much of the same reasons why I'm thrilled by knowing that Malia and Sasha Obama will spend a number of their formative years in the Whitehouse.

Children who front Richard Dawkins' atheist ads are evangelicals - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol...
Mo Kargas, Sarah Slaven, Demetrios the Traveller and 2 other people liked this
"The two children chosen to front Richard Dawkins’s latest assault on God could not look more free of the misery he associates with religious baggage. With the slogan “Please don’t label me. Let me grow up and choose for myself”, the youngsters with broad grins seem to be the perfect advertisement for the new atheism being promoted by Professor Dawkins and the British Humanist Association. Except that they are about as far from atheism as it is possible to be. The Times can reveal that Charlotte, 8, and Ollie, 7, are from one of the country’s most devout Christian families."
- Glenn Slaven
from Bookmarklet
Wouldn't the fact that they are from a devout Christian family actually be better for the message?
- Brian Sullivan
Not sure how, they aren't being 'left to choose' ,they're being raised Christian, and yet at least look happy. Not sure that's the message Dawkins wanted
- Glenn Slaven
Isn't the ad directed at Christian (or other religious) parents? Shouldn't the kids being displayed represent their children?
- Brian Sullivan
Many children look and act happy before they realize that Santa Claus doesn't really exist...
- Jemm
Kids that age don't really get the idea of a deity anyway. Just like they don't get that Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny don't really exist. Parents can teach children this young to say certain common phrases of their particular religious beliefs, but until the children are a bit older they're just parroting their parents anyway.
- Jason Huebel
what? no Santa? liar - the Grinch must have put you up to saying that . . .
- William Harryman
LOL. Also, if the guy didn't want his kids on a bumper sticker promoting religious choice, he shouldn't have put his children's pictures in a stock photo gallery.
- Jason Huebel
BTW, atheist or not, this phrase should irk parents: “The message is that the labelling of children by their parents’ religion fails to respect the rights of the child and their autonomy. We are saying that religions and philosophies — and ‘humanist’ is one of the labels we use on our poster — should not be foisted on or assumed of young children.” Children this age are not and should...

i'll still love my kids just the same no matter how their beliefs eventually shake out.

My headline would be "One of England's most devout Christian families pimps images of their children to atheist movement"
- Matt G
People, Dawkins is a Humanist, not an Atheist. He says so himself. And why pass judgment on anyone involved. Maybe this "devout Christian family" knew the marketing agency or even the designer.
- Kevin L
to alot of the Ultra-Right Super Christians of my acquaintance (i live in Texas, they're like mosquitoes here), there's no difference between a Humanist and an Atheist. alot of them also believe global warming is a myth.

I always underbake the brownies, so they're not dried bricks of anything. But our other traditional dessert at holidays (except this year) has always been chocolate cake frosted with whipped cream - where the whipped cream has about a cup of powdered sugar in it. I'll do that at Christmas (Which I may privately start calling Festiva in the manner of Akiva) and maybe net year. This year Sarah's doing a choc cake with pecan ganache.

- Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
Google was asked about something similar (monkey picture of Michelle Obama) and their response was that they don't engage in censorship and that any decisions they make are typically in favor of free speech. Google uses an algorithm to determine top results; its not editorially selected.
- Glen Mistletoe
There's censorship and then there's hate speech, which isn't protected. I have to wonder if this doesn't bleed over. I don't know what can be done Kamilah. Wish I did.
- Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
(n.b. just to be perfectly clear, I find that site horrendous, too, but I'm merely trying to relay what I understand to be Google's rationale. If they censor this, where should the censorship stop?)

Why do you think hate speech isn't protected, Sarah? The US Supreme Court has ruled in support of free speech time after time.
- Glen Mistletoe
yeah google will probably not do anything without some sort of court order
- Andrizzle Gizzle
I knew it was probably a Google bomb, and I know that Google doesn't want to censor, but, right, this is hate speech, not genuine information. It can still be a result on there somewhere if they want to respect free speech, but not right at the top like this.

Ladybug Heather, Kol Tregaskes, Bindu Reddy and 9 other people liked this
"The Emergency Command Hologram (ECH) was an extension of the USS Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram, first imagined in one of The Doctor's fantasies. The program was eventually implemented by Captain Kathryn Janeway on Voyager. Essentially, the ECH was a 'backup captain', in the event of the current command crew being incapacitated. The ECH possessed information from all major Starfleet strategic and tactical databases and could incorporate them into its plans for controlling the ship."
