An amazing piece in Mother Jones on how the No Child Left Behind Act made it possible for military recruiters to gather personal data on millions of unsuspecting American teens.
When I asked him whether he'd ever talked to a military recruiter, Travers, a 19-year-old African American with a buz... More.
I wonder if giving viral videos an old-timey silent movie treatment will become more popular. As for the actual content of the video, I thought it was sad. I hope the man in the video receives the help he needs to recover and stay well. He may not have been drunk. Maybe he was in insulin shock or s... More.
Pink Tentacle has found several great images of what a 1969 edition of the Japanese comic magazine Shonen Sunday called Computopia — a future in which computers will teach our children, perform surgeries, and infiltrate our lives in otherwise useful and fun ways. ... More.
If we humans weren't so bare, we would probably not wear robes. And then there would be no reason to disrobe. If there were no bare skin, there would be no Hefner as we know it.
And, according to Mark Changizi from the Department of Cognitive Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the reason ... More.
Gaming site UK Resistance has obtained several present-day photos of a depressingly bare, archaic video game arcade in Pyongyang. The person who took and submitted the photos chose to remain anonymous for safety reasons.
Speaking of North Korea, the current issue of The Paris Review has an amazi... More.

'homophilic'?
Can anyone give these some context? Especially the one on the right, it's just baffling.
Er, I meant "left" but they are equally funny!
I found this one somewhere on the Internet about two weeks ago. I think it holds its own with these two.

These two panels have been around for a while and were pointed out at Superdickery years ago. Surprised no one else recognized them. There are so many more examples there as well.
Freshyill- Yeah, it's funny, but it's photoshopped. I am also suspicious of that panel up on the left, there.
The "pulling a boner" episode is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. It just goes on and on....
It was an age of innocence. It was an age when a prime time television show starred an eight-year old boy named Beaver Cleaver. What innuendo?
What do Aquaman and the Bermuda Triangle have in common? They both swallow lots of sea men.
I'm with Antinous .Young people these days have such dirty, filthy minds.
>It was an age of innocence.
Bull.
Look at the pulps, at the horror anthologies that were axed by the Comics Code, and at the serialized newspaper strips when they were worth something.
The people writing the things were just like the people nowadays. That they happened to have been working fifty years ago means nothing - people were just as perverted and sneaky then as they are now.
Mike Sterling of Progressive Ruin has been posting a few of these panels as well. A particular favourite involving Batman's shock that he and Robin must wear rubbers is found here: http://www.progressiveruin.com/2008_07_06_archive.html
Yes, he's refering to the footwear but still wonderfully childish.
I call shenanigans on the "facts of life" panel on the left. The dialog is way off; DC would never have used the phrase "shut up" or ellipses in dialog.
The one on the right with the Justice League is real though. I've got the DC Archive that the story appears in. Like the Joker pulling a boner and Batman and Robin wearing rubbers, it's just a double entendre. Probably put in on purpose by the writers, but tame enough to get by the Comics Code.
Yeah, I've got to agree that the Joker "pulling a boner" thing is one of the funniest things ever -- when I first read it I couldn't breathe, I was laughing so hard.
"Come Robin, let us continue our studies of the greatest boners in history!"
This is fake but it still makes me laugh:

I remember a panel where Robin says "Yuck, mimes are the worst" - I think it was before the actual "mime" villain, but maybe not. I still remember it from ages ago cause I thought it was so funny (the art and the text)
