Short link amuse bouches for Friday



  • Prisoner faps in his cell, court decides that's a crime because said cell is a "a limited access public place" in which "exposing oneself is against the law." Link

  • Speaking of fappage: Link to Violet Blue's post about N De Samim, a shopping website for very expensive knickers. Vintage-themed photos and lovely models make obnoxious Flash and sound forgivable. (detail screengrab above, site includes butt cleavage and boobs) (NSFW).

  • Having sex with a non-consenting woman in Wisconsin is legal, as long as she's dead: Link.

  • Many Americans are experiencing inordinate delays getting their passports renewed: Link.

  • A FOX affiliate in Los Angeles takes on channers (mean-spirited anons that frequent 7chan, 420chan, and the like): Video Link. Made awesome by the reporter's detailed explanation of the term "lulz," and what may be the first ever broadcast use of the phrase "truly epic lulz."

  • Speaking of FOX: Steve Baron, who happens to works at a Chicago FOX TV affiliate, says: "When I walked in the office this morning I stopped dead in my tracks; I looked to the left, and there was what appeared to be a horse sitting there. We are in a 40 story skyscraper in downtown Chicago. Little did I know, this horse was "Thumbelina", at 17.5 inches tall, the world's smallest horse." Link to video.

  • Harptallica! Link.

  • BSOD tat! Link.

  • FSM tat! Link.

  • Q: How do you stop meerkats from fighting? A: Smear Vicks Vapo Rub on them. Link.

  • A tree native to Uganda which is valued by folks there for purported aphrodisiac and sexual potency enhancement qualities is now overharvested, and damn near extinct: Link.

  • Someone used grass killer to draw a penis pointing to the governor's mansion in Boise, ID. Link.

  • Jackhammer Jill (BoingBoing's girlie with the power tool, above in our logo) redrawn by Ape Lad as a squid!!! Link

  • Obligatory Simpsons Movie Opening Day item -- a celebrity cameo trivia quiz. Did Rupert Murdoch say he was a "billionaire tyrant" in real life or on The Simpsons? Find out: Link.

  • Mt. St. Helens volcano observatory webcam goes hidef: Link.

  • Rhizome.org, home of cool 'net art for many years, goes Creative Commons: Link.

  • Kink.com made a very funny video PSA about 2257 regulations: here's Link 1, here's Link 2 (NSFW: nudity, adult humor).

  • Alphabet made by looking up at buildings: Link.

    (Thanks, Violet Blue, delrocco, Nathalie, Mike, Jacob Appelbaum, Fred Benenson, Adam Koford, B. Fezzi, AJ)
