Info Post

The Snarky Files. Snarky means several things. I prefer the definition of "sharply critical." Here's my take on some news stories this past week. No real news here, just snark. And blatant sex.

Advances in Education
A Northwestern University psychology Professor J. Michael Bailey, who teaches a course in human sexuality (is that really a course or is it just "legal" pornography?), decided to have an extra-special guest presentation. After his regular class, he presented a couple who had sex on the floor in front of the remaining class members. Apparently the demonstration included the use of power tools.

Excusing the demonstration of live pornography to his class, Bailey defended his actions by stating: "I certainly have no regrets concerning Northwestern students, who have demonstrated that they are open-minded grownups rather than fragile children." Student reactions were mixed. "What're we supposed to take away from that?" asked one student. Apparently, the sex itself wasn't the biggest concern of those who protested the classroom demonstration - it was the use of power tools that put the whole thing over the edge in their eyes.

Can we just go ahead and call the modern concept of higher education a complete waste of time?

Read the story at The Daily Beast if you must.

Kids Go Wii
A new Wii game developed in France has received a rating for ages 12+. The problem? The game is geared for adults to dabble in kinky sex-related practices. The tagline for the game "Flirty Fun for All" apparently includes prepubescent teens learning about homosexuality and sadomasochism.

It's another brilliant product designed to promote pornographic practices in the comfort of your living room. At least you can get the Wii workout while playing it.

 Watch the commercial at The Sun if you must.

The President Weighs In on Marriage
President Obama weighed in on his views of what constitutes marriage when Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the administration would no longer defend parts of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. According to Obama, neutering marriage "remains one of my highest priorities. We’re going to get it done." (The Daily Beast)

I'm certainly glad that neutering marriage and refusing to defend federal law ranks right up there on the president's to do list. And is Obama changing his message from "yes we can" to "get 'er done?"

Startling Statistic
According to The Daily Beast, "a new study claims HPV, the STD linked to cervical cancer, may be found in half of all adult men."

Half of all adult men? Half of all adult men? The statistic staggers the mind. This means that half of all adult men not only have the STD, it also means that half of all adult men have absolutely no self control.

The solution to the problem, according to the "experts," is education and pushing vaccines on young girls to keep them from contracting HPV. How's that liberalized sex education working for ya'll?

Young Granny
The Sun reports that a woman named Rifca Stanescu is a grandmother at age 26.

You do the math. I can't seem to wrap my mind around that one.

Crazy Old Charlie
OK, this one doesn't have anything to do with blatant sex. Actor Charlie Sheen, who seems to have hijacked all available news stories over the past few weeks made this memorable statement: "And if they can't condemn it, they'll like [explicative] turn me into a God and worship it, and realize I'm behind them, cutting their throats, and their children's...." (Daily Mail)

Sheen, being a leftist liberal, makes certain that he doesn't promote violence by using obscene references to guns and shooting. This is a kinder, gentler promotion of throat-cutting violence by a bona fide unhinged whack job.

The Name is Blonde. James Blonde.
Daniel Craig, the actor best known for his portrayal of James Bond, stepped up to the plate to dress in drag in a video in order to raise consciousness on just how tough a job women have competing in the workplace.

I don't know which is more disturbing about the video: the implication that children are merely annoyances that get in the way of women's fulfillment, or the visual image of Daniel Craig in drag.

Watch the video if you must.

TMI
The National Journal wrote a human interest piece on Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Among the tidbits of information we learn about her: "One day after I'd been questioned endlessly, for weeks at a time, I was so frustrated by the minutiae of what I was being asked about and said to a friend, 'I think they already know the color of my underwear.'"

I'm guessing tighty whities, but thanks for sharing, Justice Sotomayor.
