Bumper-stickers

Typically a bumper sticker is intended to advertise, inform, self-identify, amuse, or insult. The intent of said sticker is usually really obvious.

Yesterday I saw one on the back of a Chevy that has me totally stumped. It read:

"SUBDUCTION LEADS TO OROGENY"

That's really god-damn obtuse, but I suppose geologists riding around in Redmond find it amusing to be geeky and obtuse at the same time--although I'm fairly sure the only one was inside that truck and thus couldn't read it!

PS: In case you are wondering, this website discuss subduction and orogeny.

Webby Awards

The 2004 Webby Awards winners have been announced. The winner for the 'weird' category is indeed weird: CarStuckGirls.com. It's a fetish site for people who want to see girls stuck in stranded cars. One of the shoots even degenerates into a mud-wrestling contest between two women. Whack. Weirder than that is the sub-fetish of seeing girl's feet pushing car pedals!

Seriously, do we really have to support every fetish on the Internet?

Actually, don't answer that question. Particularly not with more links. The last thing I need is a link to a site featuring "tranny midget furry lesbian dom dildo users dressed as ocelot nuns"...

Naturally, The Onion won for humor.


Speaking of which, check out this week's articles:

"Bush Vows To Pay Closer Attention To Needs Of Non-Presidents"

and my personal favorite: "Woman At Farscape Convention Has Dangerously Inflated Self-Image" with the fabulous photo caption: "Above: Baltazar (right) admires a passing Farscape actor along with one of the other 23 women at ScaperCon."

Includes a nice reference to Austin's Emo's club in "Bathroom Too Disgusting To Shit In" on the front page.

The infograph "Who Is John Kerry?" also rocks.
