So there's a vaccine for certain forms of HIV out which is being put up as one of those required to attend school. Aside from the fact that we HAVE A VACCINE FOR CERTAIN FORMS OF HIV, this isn't all that unusual. Lots of schools require innoculations before kids can attend.
Here's the kicker. There are some people who have this odd religious belief that this would be BAD for the kids somehow. Apparently they believe teens would suddenly go on huge orgy sprees without the fear of a sexually transmitted disease (which is still there, this just mitigates it). Evidence that this would happen is notibly absent. They just believe it to be the result of this. Do guard rails on bridges cause drivers to weave back and forth off them like pinballs since they don't have to worry about falling to their deaths? Does the V-Chip suddenly cause kids to watch TV much more frivilously because they know they won't ever encounter violence or swearing?
Stupid stupid stupid... All this does is protect people from something horrid in the event they do decide to have intercourse. How immunity to something can be construed as "encouraging" behavior that exposes someone to it is beyond me... I may gain an immunity to antifreeze, but I'm not going to use that opportunity to take a drink of the stuff just for that sweet sweet taste.
I won't. I read as far as the first chapter before my absurd-o-meter kicked in and I closed the book forever. Just in that one chapter I determined that Dan Brown is a bad writer, and I had too many other books to read to waste time on that shit.
So, no movie based on shitty book. And, there's a damn Da Vinci Code videogame now.
"Genji 2 is an action game based on Japanese history...the stages of the game will also be based on famous battles which actually took place in ancient Japan...so here's this giant enemy crab...attack its weak point for massive damage..."
Quote:High street games shops have been told by Sony that
there will be no PS3 pre-owned sections in their stores as it will
be illegal for customers to sell any next-gen PlayStation games
that they've bought, retail sources have revealed to GamesRadar.
It seems that Sony is planning to adopt a licensing system that
will mean gamers won't own the PS3 titles that they've paid
money for. Instead, they will only be purchasing the licence to
play the game and that the software itself will still be Sony
property - meaning that the disc won't be the customer's to sell.
We assume that the thinking behind this move will ultimately
be to stop PS3 games being resold several times - which
currently snatches potential sales away from Sony - and to
counter the impression in consumers' minds that games are
only really worth their pre-owned price and are not worth
buying new.
When we contacted Sony, it issued us with the following s
tatement: "We have made all of the official announcements at
E3 and cannot make any further comments at this time. We will
be announcing more news running up to PlayStation 3's launch."
Seriously, it's like those abandoned theme parks you see on TV (which according TO TV are apparently everywhere, though I've yet to see one) only people still WORK THERE.
The water is apparently where the trash goes, so you have a seemingly beautiful pass over a river, except the river is a stinking refuse pit.
Of note is the lack of passengers on the few rides that aren't closed down.
I dunno. I come and go as I please. It's summer now, so I've got time to burn. When I'm not working or out getting drunk, I might be posting here.
So... what's new? Anything happen while I was gone? I do have this to say: Wii!? I mean... come on! I think I'll just take a piece of tape, write "Revolution" on it, and tape it over the Wii logo.
Also, Kingdom Hearts II kicks ass once you get past all the boring Roxas stuff.
