Speakers, staff, and even people looking to increase their credibility in a particular field by networking and socializing all have very good reason to consider a convention to be a “workplace environment”. Even if they’re volunteering, even if they’re there only semi-professionally or as a hobbyist, the existence of a solid harassment policy that includes …

Buy the new iPad from XS4ALL to “upgrade” your lover
Tired of your current bed partner? If you buy an iPad from XS4ALL, you’ll be able to switch her it out for some other model! It’s super easy when human beings are simply-manipulated objects!

Obama’s post-Rapture speech
We’re just going to have to get serious here. Hail Satan. Comments are disabled on the Youtube video, naturally. So feel free to make your comments here instead!

LOLcats: the later years
The route down which all LOLcats go. So very sad. (Trigger warning for sexual exploitation — commenters have been triggered, so seriously, this is a real trigger warning. The sexual exploitation, specifically taking pictures of this LOLcat without its consent, with multiple tiers of sexual reference at every stage, in this video. It is graphic …
