hollister sucks
remember when we told you about that iconic DKNY advertisement that was being painted over in advance of the opening of a hollister at broadway and houston?
well, the stupid store is about to open, and hollister has installed three dudes dressed as lifguards outside to stand around and....? rescue pedestrians? seriously, the only place this kind of thing makes less sense is inside a suburban mall.
get a life hollister. you too abercrombie.

new home for dutch giraffes
these giraffes in the Rotterdam Zoo are so lucky. they got this awesome savannah house as their new home on june 26th.
its got all natural construction materials, special consideration to everything in "lickable" range, and specially designed "cuddle walls" to keep them warm during cold nights. what i wouldnt give to be one of those cuddle walls.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama turned to the Deep South for the next surgeon general, choosing a rural Alabama family physician who made headlines with fierce determination to rebuild her nonprofit medical clinic in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Dr. Regina Benjamin is known along Alabama's impoverished Gulf Coast as a country doctor who makes house calls and doesn't turn away patients who can't pay _ even as she's had to find the money to rebuild a clinic repeatedly destroyed by hurricanes and once even fire. (via)

ykwgmg: denny's
let me just say one thing; i didn't get the status of resident bitch for having a thick skin and letting things go easily. ok? and the things i could complain about could fill a damn book. but i can't help but point out that denny's usual desperation is glowing red hot in their newest ploy to trick drunk suburbanites into eating their shitty food late at night.
are you tired of boring old regular menus? well how about a RoCkStAr MeNu!!! featuring rock institutions like good charlotte, sum 41, rascal flatts, hoobastank and some other trash you've never heard of because TRL was cancelled.
oh? you don't really remember these bands? that's funny, because according to denny's, they're RoCkStArS!!! what's that? you think they're music is shitty? no...if there was ever an authority on quality music, it's denny's. i'm sure they're quite talented.
so run on down to denny's for a "hooburrito" or "the sumwich" you mindless consumer whores.

i dislike race mixin' and spiders.
lately i've been hearing news reports about a proliferation of white supremacists and neo-nazi websites and social networking profiles. but this one struck me as more humorous than disgusting:
jic you can't read the tiny text, i've reproduced it here:
about me: proud white man, twenty six years old and tired of the destruction of our clean white culture and heritage, the poison of the black culture in our society, and the illegal invasion of mexico into our sovereign nation.
interests: tattoos, exercise and racial pride.
dislikes: race traitors, mixing of the races, liberals, and faggots.
hobbies: reading, cooking, going to movies [...and of course] firearms.
cooking? going to movies? why don't you just throw shopping and sewing in there you faggoty dumb queer.
btw, this guy is in the military, so say goodbye to your tax doll hairs. (via)

homewrecking bitch penguin
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- The San Francisco Zoo’s popular same-sex penguin couple has broken up.
Male Magellan penguins Harry and Pepper have been together since 2003. The pair nested together and even incubated an egg laid by another penguin in 2008, but their relationship hit the rocks earlier this year when a female penguin, Linda, befriended Harry after her long-time companion died.
This did not go over well with Pepper, who became violent. The three penguins were separated for some time following the fight. (link)
