The oversized frog is about the only controversial thing there. Maybe the main girl is a bit stuck up too, she didn't seem to like any of those fine gifts the boy Googled into existence.
Those other couples look perfectly fine to me.

Here I was thinking it was the blue and red jump rope symbolizing the republicans giving in to the dems since they couldn't buy their way into the hearts of democrats....gosh forbid two guys are caught holding hands.
For those who don't get it, it's a push by a large set of gamers to get a publisher (Valve) to release details about their plans for the future of the franchise (nothing new released since a cliffhanger game in 2007), and they think if they can get 50,000 people playing an eight year old game on Steam all at the same time, it will show them there is a lot of demand for this information.
If you've never played the game, and want to, I have a free copy of the game on Steam. Back in the day, it was an awesome game. Not so awesome anymore by today's standards, but still pretty darn good.

Well, we got up to #11 on the stats page for Steam. Not too bad for a very old game, and we'll see if Valve responds at all.
Today I learned that in order to trigger the most gnarly human fart, you need to go to space and expose your body to "the elements."
Cool video, quite enjoyable to watch, as horrific as that may sound.

Gnarly fart--that's got to the be understatement of the year (so far).

Funny, that guy's definitely strange, but his description was cool.

Of course he's strange. That's Phil Plait, aka the Bad Astronomer! He's the uber-geek of space stuff. Had a short-run special on Discovery last year which was pretty amusing, and a somewhat new book "Death From The Skies" which discusses the likely scenarios in which the Earth could take a beating.
