ScreenSmasher - The Stress-Relieving Screen Smashing Simulator

VIRTUAL SCREAM THERAPY
Millions of people suffer from Computer Rage, the intense frustration of being tormented by soulless machines. Who hasn't fantasized about smashing their computer? This kit includes software for a Windows PC, a foam caveman-style hatchet and a U.S.B. motion sensor. You affix the U.S.B. sensor to the back of your monitor. Then, the next time your PC starts driving you crazy, you grab the mallet and start pounding your screen. SMASH! CRASH! SHATTER! With each pound, realistic sounds and animations make it look like you're breaking the glass of the screen.

And then, on the fourth smash, the glass shards fall away to reveal what's really causing your computer problems: a roomful of juvenile, out-of-control monkeys.

HATE MALE
A friend of mine sent me this email:

Dear Friend

When you Google the word "Jew", one of the first websites that pops up is http://www.jewwatch.com/ --an anti-semitic, hate-filled harangue masquerating as "scholarly, factual, informational"

Add your name to the petition to remove www.jewwatch.com from Google's search engine. (Check out the site and you will understand why.) In order for Google to remove this, they would need a petition of over 50,000 requests....

GO HERE FOR PETITION.

(P.S. For it's part Google just appears to be giving some sort of hand-wringing apology, CLICK HERE FOR THAT.) I did some research on this issue and found out some interesting things about this whole issue. The Jew Watch Project, which touts itself as "the Internet's Largest Scholarly Collection of Articles on Jewish History" providing "Free Educational Library for Private Study, Scholarship, and Research" does, indeed appear to be what it's critics say it is. It is run by Frank Weltner who has an M.A. in English and is a "Certified Librarian". It is "dedicated to news and analysis of the U.S.-Israeli Terror Nations and the History of Jewish politics today and in history. Information on News of Zionism, Israel, Neocons, U.S.S.R., Communism, Nazism, Judeo-Bolshevism, ADL," and of course, everyone's favorite Zionist group, the Southern Poverty Law Center. The links at the main site all point to Jews as the cause of all sort of modern blight.

But don't take my word for this, listen to Frank himself. He has a bunch of YouTube videos covering the gamut of Jewish hate items.

HOW UNCOOL IS THIS?
Here's an interesting piece on Nerdcore, a style of music which is fashioned on rap but speaks to the suburban disaffected. How (un)cool is that?
