The Red Weed
According to research carried out on a thousand Kiwis who participated in a 35-year long study in New Zealand, it would appear that cannabis isn’t actually the cure-all so many optimistic stoners like to think. Well, wouldn’t you know it.
The BBC reports that “heavy cannabis smoking is a major cause of gum disease” (clicky here), and if you listen closely, you might be able to hear the sharp intake of breath all around the world – the familiar sound of smokers of this curious weed inhaling – twinned perhaps with occasional utterances of ‘ah well’ and ‘fuck it’. Apparently, this is news to the scientific community, although they’ve known for decades that smoking tobacco will damage gums in just the same way. It wouldn’t take a great leap of faith to join the dots here, but hey, hold it people: this is science, not religion. A thousand guinea pigs later, then, revelation has arrived, and you just know what an epic movie this story would make.
Anarchy On The Internets
Oh hackers, have you forsaken us?
For those of you less informed in the ways of the under-internets – and let me say, you have my admiration for such incredible restraint – RedTube is a XXX take on the formidable YouTube; an unbound Web 2.0 enterprise dedicated to the sharing of amateur and commercial pornography alike. Ventured into the forbidding darkness of the adult DVD section in your local HMV? Up your favourite scenes. Found a particularly titilating clip in amongst the sagging thirtysomething teens that populated the last torrent you trawled through the PinkTorrent archives to find? Cap it and share your discovery with fellow perverts around the world. Have a particularly filthy video of your ex on your camera phone? With the magic of Redtube, you too can humiliate and exploit that self-righteous bitch with the magic of RedTube.
All of which might tend to suggest that RedTube, the the latest victim in the madcap war hackers are waging against organisations the internets over, had it coming. Well, I wouldn’t say otherwise for a moment. All I’m asking is: really, hackers? Really?
