Information control, you say? Foreign journalists sent to cover the events are not allowed to exit their hotels. Reporters are being turned back from entering the country via aiports. "Critical European-Asian fiber-optic routes through Egypt appear to be unaffected for now. But every Egyptian...

"10 states remain." 40/50. 1 AM. So, this is for all the non-US skiers, but even you statesiders can join in on the fun and jog your memory! 10 minutes to name all the states. Post results.

Wherever you come from, imagine this scenario: You wake up in the middle of the night to hear someone breaking into your apartment. You silently make it to the kitchen to grab a knife for a weapon - to protect yourself, of course. The assailant, who is armed not only with a crowbar, but with...

I know that the exec producer is still one of the two creators of the original and that they've worked hard to 'translate' the show to the US, but JESUS CHRIST that first episode was a disgrace! What is it with the US TV market that everything has to be adapted?! Coupling, Top Gear, The Office...

This is pretty hilarious. http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/4541420/Fox-shoots-hunter "A wounded fox shot its would be killer in Belarus by pulling the trigger on the hunter's gun as the pair scuffled after the man tried to finish the animal off with the butt of the rifle. The unnamed hunter...

NS is full of nice subtle changes now. Maybe I spend too much time here to notice them.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/22/cia-wikileaks-taskforce-wtf WTF in action "cleaning up" the cable fallout? ...and now for something completely different.

Didn't see a thread about this, so if I missed it, sorry. But I guess the sky must be falling down soon as Detox is heavy on its way. Without Akon this song would be bomb, I hate that guy.

I'm lobbying for a great Finnish film that's been internationally released last week, even in the States. It's a grim tale about the true origins of Santa, or "Joulupukki" as we call him, not the American Coca-Cola Santa. I was truly surprised how good the film was, seeing that it's based on two...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/us-embassy-cable-leak-diplomacy-crisis So finally WikiLeaks releases the 250,000+ cables from US embassies from around the world, which were highly publicized when Bradley Manning went all Deepthroat with the Iraq attack heli videos. There's a lot of...

Fraping, better known as "FaceRaping" means posting cleverly devised and jarringly "genuine" fake updates (lol im a gay now an luv cok) has become all the rage in the past few years, seemingly raising party hijinx morale for many a bro/brodette. The culprits snickering childishly in the morning...

This morning, after pulling an all-nighter, I made my way home on the ever-so-tiresome morning after bus. Most of the younger folk looked a lot like I did, faces filled with yawns. At first glance there was nothing out of the ordinary in this ragtag group of people, until I saw her. She was...

Ime Jari faijaas, et kuitenkaan osaa edes vetaa 180!

...but not with open arms. Keep a distance of at least six feet at all times. If you really want to fuck with a stereotypical Finn's bus ride, sit right next to them even if there are free single seats elsewhere in the bus! You can see and FEEL them squirming in discomfort. Just to top it off...

So what's new?

Less than two weeks ago following a televised debate with religious people and affiliates against people for gay rights, thousands of people started leaving the Evangelic-Lutherian church in Finland. At the moment the number is closer to 35,000 and rising, which is unprecedented in Finland. The...

You know, if you're Russian, German, French, you name it - you are almost EXPECTED to have that little nuance of local personality in your English (and other languages). Most accents, like Indian English, are commonly accepted as they are, even though some are almost incomprehensible at first...

This could also be in Media & Arts, but: Dr.Tweenus Gonzo has written an album based on 24 episodes of the first season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It's free and available here: http://drtweenusgonzo.bandcamp.com/album/the-fresh-prince-project

This cat is one of the best contributors on this site. Furiously he wants to break deals with us poor skiers by offering tremendous deals on...well, basically everything! I've already ordered so many items I never knew I wanted, but...they are just so cheap. Like, compare Full Tilts, to CHEAP...
