How Superman Defeated The Ku Klux Klan - Superman - io9 - http://io9.com/5394980...

"Almost too weird to believe: writer Stetson Kennedy infiltrated the KKK in the late 1940s, and learned the powerful organization's secrets — but nobody would publish them. Meanwhile, the Superman radio program needed a villain to replace the Nazis. According to Mental Floss Magazine, Kennedy managed to work all of the Ku Klux Klan's most secret recruiting and organizational practices into his 1940s radio serial, "Clan Of The Fiery Cross." And as a result, the Man Of Steel dealt a crushing blow to the racist organization: As the storyline progressed, the shows exposed many of the KKK's most guarded secrets. By revealing everything from code words to rituals, the program completely stripped the Klan of its mystique. Within two weeks of the broadcast, KKK recruitment was down to zero. And by 1948, people were showing up to Klan rallies just to mock them."

Is it incorrect to infer that recruitment went down as protections to secrecy were dismantled?
- MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
I think that is what the author holds to be true.
- RAPatton
It's a true story - the Klan arc on the Superman radio serial went nationwide when the show was very popular. The KKK was outraged that some of its closest secrets were being divulged to children in an afternoon radio serial.

I was talking to a friend recently about how a lot of women (including myself) let pictures of beautiful women (super models and celebrities) make them feel bad, inadequate and insecure. Essentially the most interesting points were that just because I say I like X doesn't mean I don't like Y. A lot of women like to take the statement, "I like X"...
kirmizimercan, Golnoosh, Victoria and 52 other people liked this
. . . to mean that I don't like Y so they can feel bad about themselves. It's completely self-inflicted. But if I say I like Y, they never believe you. And as I was having this discussion, I realized how absurd my behavior was. Obviously I can like more than one thing, why can't men? In fact they do. Most men will tell you they like many different kinds of women. Sure they have some preferences but they are also capable of appreciating beauty in many forms. There are some men who subscribe to the belief that only super skinny women are beautiful but that's far from a majority. I've had people tell me that I'm beautiful but I refused to believe them. Why? Cause it's easier to believe the negative? Do I just want to have a pity party? Why can't I just take the compliment? After seeing it this way I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

As @RAPatton mentions, men go through this too but are much less likely to vocalize it. I've got some extra around the midsection and my wife says she loves the way I look. I often think she's just being nice because why wouldn't she be happier if I was more fit like a male model or fire fighter. I'm sure it's much harder for women with all the crap that's on television making us think we have to look a certain way to be attractive and creating problems we didn't know we had.

"Two thugs who attacked what they thought were a pair of transvestites picked on the wrong men - when their intended victims turned out to be cage fighters on a night out in fancy dress. Dean Gardener, 19, and Jason Fender, 22, singled out the two men walking along a street in wigs, short skirts and high heels. Bare-chested Gardener was caught on CCTV confronting one of the men in a pink wig, black skirt and boob tube - then seen swinging a punch, a court heard. But the other cage fighter, wearing a sparkling black dress and matching long wig, sprang to his friend's help, delivering two lightning-quick punches to the two stunned yobs. The cage fighters were then seen teetering away in their high heels, stopping only to pick up a clutch bag they dropped during the melee. Gardener and Fender were left dazed and seen staggering to their feet after their failed attack. "

Pierre Honeyman, Wai Seto, chaz2b and 52 other people liked this
Ask yourself this — do you find this painting obscene? There are no warnings regarding it’s placement in the museums all ages gallery. And why is it not ok to show the backside of painting of a woman in a museum, but it seems perfectly fine for people to show full frontal nudity of the famous statue of Michelangelo’s David? isn’t it a double standard for Flickr to say that great art of females ought to be treated differently than great art of males. The basic problem is that the Censorship Division at Flickr is unchecked. They’ve been given unlimited power over who sees our images and who does not. Flickr relevancy to our culture is too important not to resist these intrusions. Censoring great works of art is an insult to all photographers and artists. Like the Victorians of yesteryear who ruined many sculptures by plastering fig leafs over their private parts, Flickr wields the censors sword flippantly and seemingly without consequence. This is bad for morale, bad for Flickr/Yahoo’s...

It's irrelevant whether the image is obscene. What matters is whether the Flickr TOS were violated. It's a picture of a painting of a nude woman.

Pat, so why does the backside of a painting of a woman by a famous artist violate the Flickr TOS while the front side of Michelango's David seems perfectly fine? Isn't it a bit of a double standard to try and enforce a policy whereby hundreds of (use your own favorite euphemism for male member) are allowed unfettered on Flickr while a female's behind is not? Both are great works of art, why censor one and not the other?
- Thomas Hawk
I'd be fine with that Pat, I'd appreciate the publicity. But you've neglected to answer the question as to why it is ok for flickr users to photograph and post Michelangelo's David statue showing full nude male frontal genitalia while a photo of a similar work of famous art is censored when it depicts the backside of a female.
- Thomas Hawk
Absolutely not obscene! Pathetic that some might think it obscene. In school I learnt about the great painters and most of them had nudes, some a lot more full frontal and yet it was about the art, not about the nudity.

I'll give a hint to what I think is the correct answer: How much you "borrowed" depends on how much interpretation that person put in. Since Thomas interprets quite a bit, that would be the problem. That you used an ARTISTIC photo without permission. However, making a single fine art painting is unlikely to "damage" Thomas or make the photo less valuable. The litho series is where it becomes a serious violation. Mass production.

It would appear that the moderation has been removed: the image is now marked "Anyone can see this photo". Perhaps Mr. Hawk appealed the moderation - politely, one hopes - and Flickr acknowledged that a mistake had been made.

Pat, flickr doesn't own the image,Thomas does, so if they block him posting to FF, there are other issues they would need to address. The problems with censorship is that you need to be consistent, otherwise you run the risk of being hypocritical, and it's pretty clear that in this case there was a lack of consistency.

Not obscene to me, but that of course depends on your cultural background. What I believe the web needs are 'global' standards against censorship and a strong institution to enforce them.

Yep - brilliant video. And yes, still waiting for an invite even though someone sent me one yesterday. I bet I get it tomorrow when I won't have time to try it! :)

Pixar Animator Gives Characters a Lego Makeover - http://io9.com/5365615...
Kevin Shaum, Cea and RAPatton liked this
"Pixar animator and BURN-E director Angus MacLane's most famous works may be computer-generated, but in his spare time he works in the more physical medium of plastic bricks, rendering his favorite characters in Lego. These are but a mere handful of MacLane's dozens of CubeDudes, which include characters from the SuperFriends, Transformers, Dr. Horrible, and GI Joe. He has also built non-CubeDude Lego sculptures of Pixar characters WALL-E, BURN-E, and Carl Fredricksen."

- Fee501st
SOMETIME I FEEL AUDI 5000... SOMETIME JUST 4000.
- Dave Friedel
No we love you Veronica and your FF threads! ;)
- Fee501st
Audi 4000 - when you don't need to leave so fast...
- Thomas
Does this mean you'll stop calling me an "ass" all the time?
- Dave Friedel
"I'm Audi 4000" = "I need to leave, but I can stick around for a few more minutes..."
- Thomas
Audi 9000 ..... Its Over NINE THOUUUUUSAANNNNDDDDD! when you got to GTFO
- Fee501st
LOOK THIS AINT FUNNY. I'M GONNA AUDI 4995 ON YALL IF IT DONT STOP.
- Dave Friedel
Hmm...if I adapt it to my friends cars it just sounds like I'm hinting that we'd need to stay the night "I'm out ford ka" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. :/
- Amy
That means I'm almost outta here... just 5 short.
- Dave Friedel
I AINT NO LOLLIPOP.
- Dave Friedel
it's weird, because i'm actually eating a lollipop right now.
- Veronica
No, you're a DIRTY LOLLIPOP, apparently
- Amy
"Audi 5G's, playa." is appropriate for job interviews. Fist bump optional.
- Paul Reynolds
it's not Dave.
- Veronica
lol!
- Amy
Cherry? lollipop?
- Fee501st
watermelon
- Veronica
an underrated flavor
- Jerry Perez
[restraint restraint--arrgh]
- Dave Friedel
yes, watermelon rules
- Fee501st
It's at least a _naughty_ watermelon?
- Paul Reynolds
that and root beer, mmmm
- Fee501st
Root beer I can get behind. Watermelon not so much...
- Thomas
root beer is my favorite, they didn't have it
- Veronica
oh no "they" didn't
- Jerry Perez
Did you say "I'm Audi 5000" and leave in a huff when they didn't have it?
- Thomas
root beer has to be the most vile substance I've ever ingested, it must be an acquired taste
- Amy
NO ROOT BEER? THIS PLACE IS WIGGITY-WHACK! I'M OUT AUDI 5000
- Paul Reynolds
Now I have a lollipop. Tootsie Pop, strawberry.
- Dave Friedel
Veronica, cool! Great minds think alike ;)
- Fee501st
my poor FF notifier is like 15 posts behind
- Fee501st
Anybody else miss rebecca coleman? Sigh. I'm going to go play some CSS Duckhunt.
- Paul Reynolds
REBECCA IS MY GF
- Dave Friedel
Veronica, can you say "I'm Audi 5000" at the end of the next Tekzilla? :)
- Thomas
Noo 4000!!!!!
- Fee501st
Ok, 4500.
- Thomas
Dave, I know it's difficult but you have to face it - she ran off with kapo
- Amy
I hope I remember to!!
- Veronica
Dont worry we will remind you next monday! lol
- Fee501st
Guys, send a video question to Tekzilla asking a tech question. Then end it with "I'm Audi 5000"
- Dave Friedel
WHY WON'T SHE ACKNOWLEDGE THE THING I MADE FOR HER?!?!
- Veronica
Excellent idea
- Jerry Perez
Dave: Now that's a plan! :)
- Thomas
Veronica because she left in her Audi :(
- Fee501st
Uhh, Veronica she's Audi 5000... hello?
- Dave Friedel
Audis are fast, she should have been back by now.
- Veronica
DEAR TEKZILLA: I NEED YOUR SEARCH ENGINE LESSONS.AUDI 5000. WHERE'S MY MEADOW DAVE???
- Paul Reynolds
Unless it's an old Audi, in which case she never left...
- Thomas
Don't say anything to Patrick or Roger, they might not now what Audi 5000 means either lol
- Fee501st
No seriously, ask a real tech question then just end it "Audi 5000!"
- Dave Friedel
Dave, I do believe you need to think up another question this week then :)
- Amy
There must be some kind of hand gesture that goes with it.
- Dave Friedel
My money, all $3 of it, is on that Patrick will know what it means.
- Paul Reynolds
I'll have to think of a question, but that sounds like an awesome idea :)
- Thomas
Make that $2.25... I want a lollipop.
- Paul Reynolds
Yea, Patrick might, he was hip in the 90s!
- Fee501st
I'm trying to find the rap song where LL COOL J says Audi 4000, no luck so far
- Fee501st
It's hard to keep it to 15 seconds. I'd do it, but I already had one on.
- Dave Friedel
http://www.lyricstime.com/ll-cool... "You know I'm audi"?

I found the song REBECCA was talking about NSFW, i time code right where it says it http://www.youtube.com/watch...
- Fee501st
*musses Fee's hair* Your search engine lessons have just paid for themselves.
- Paul Reynolds
Fee501st, I don't know whether to applaud your efforts or think you're on the internet a bit too much.
- Jerry Perez
Thanks Veronica's classes pay for themselves
- Fee501st
Jerry, lol i just type Audi 5000 rap in youtube and it was 1st thing that came up!
- Fee501st
This is what our Grandpa's said http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

rebecca coleman blocked me and I didn't even get a lousy t-shirt.
- Paul Reynolds
from BuddyFeed
lol same here
- Fee501st
she blocked me too!!
- Veronica
She got deleted!
- Fee501st
if you look at her account where your not log in, you get a 404
- Fee501st
so she deleted herself?
- Veronica
I think so.
- Thomas
She was randomly posting comments on our posts, and they're all gone as far as I can tell...
- Thomas
if only it was that easy on other sites!
- Fee501st
This thread is whack! I'm Audi Quattro...
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Aw, well now I feel bad. Sorta. It's more like I feel less good than anything.
- Paul Reynolds
that's what using caps gets you.
- Veronica
It's back to myspace for her...
- Thomas
I wonder if she got to keep her Audi :(
- Fee501st
That's very good, Veronica. I think we should all take a moment and reflect on the lessons learned here.
- Paul Reynolds
OK. That's over. Where else can I play CSS Duckhunt?
- Paul Reynolds
"if all cap, you going get slapped, Stay in school kids!"
- Fee501st
Knowing is half the battle...
- Thomas
LOL Fee. I want Veronica's graphic on a t-shirt!
- Paul Reynolds
Paul, Veronica needs to make that TZ daily tip
- Fee501st
I've been to Venice and back, and this thread is still going on? I'm going to block everyone on here and delete my account, too; I can't take any more.
- aldenoneil
I dont know how I got on this thread?

from twhirl
Sadly this is only Part II of a much longer, wackier thread.
- Paul Reynolds
if you want a calmer one, check out the Audi 4000
- Fee501st
I've seen them all. I can't stop seeing them all. I'll close my browser and I'm certain I'll get a text message.
- aldenoneil
I bust the windows out ya Audi 5000.
- Sarah is Novembery
Anyway, I'm Audi 5000.
- aldenoneil
I'm Audi A4
- Veronica
I go to play bar trivia for a few hours and my poor Rebecca has quit forever. Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! I'm all A5 now.
- Dave Friedel
Rebecca left me a goodbye message on different post I made from earlier in the day. It said: "YOUR THE UGLIEST QUIT COPYING KANYE AND GET A LIFE I GOTTA POST YOUR UGLY FACE 231 TIMES."
- Dave Friedel
alden, you get TEXT MESSAGES every time someone posts in these threads? My god, I am so very very sorry!
- Veronica
I don't think that's the last we'll hear of rebecca coleman - someone counting out the posts and promising to do the same number of replies clearly has a wee bit of a vendetta going on
- Amy
Alden, time for that unlimited text plan or unhook your phone from it. Sometimes threads keepa goin'. Veronica isn't the only person who sometimes has hundreds of posts. Sarah Lane did it intentionally a just two weeks ago to see if her subscriber count were real people... they were.
- Dave Friedel
Amy, you may be on to something. Maybe she's just slipped away to regroup and plan. I'm picturing a weary rebecca coleman hovering over the keyboard wearing a much too big army helmet while whipsering, "Audi... for now..."
- Paul Reynolds
Is she back with a new feed? It's private -- http://friendfeed.com/becksav...
- Charlotte M
oh she's a VIRGO. well that explains everything right there.
- Sarah is Novembery
I don't get text messages. Most of what I say is bullshit.
- aldenoneil
^ so is that true or not?
