Clothes For Bros of the Day Posted: 25 May 2012 10:35 AM PDT Just in time for summer, a trio of bros in San Francisco has launched Mantanks, a website that allows frat boys across the land to desecrate perfectly good shirts with their best Instagrams in a few drunken clicks. Looks like a gold mine — why didn’t we think of this first? [thanks, nathan!] Tagged: clothes for bros, mantanks

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day Posted: 25 May 2012 10:14 AM PDT The Trayvon Martin gun-range target was bad enough. Then a bunch of white kids had to go and launch multiple #Trayvoning Facebook groups (that have since been removed). Trayvoning is like Tebowing, except totally the opposite — white (and apparently, black) kids pose as a gunshot victim, wearing a hoodie, and holding Skittles and an iced tea, which is what Martin had on him when George Zimmerman shot him to death in February. Facebook group members said they were merely combating “racism against whites”: “White people are becoming more and more oppressed.” [hypervocal] Tagged: This Is All Kinds Of Wron, Trayvon Martin, trayvoning

Obama Revelation of the Day Posted: 25 May 2012 10:03 AM PDT In Pulitzer Prize-winner David Maraniss’ new book, Barack Obama: The Story, we get quite the insight into the president’s bullying, pot-smoking past. Money quote: Barry also had a knack for interceptions. When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted “Intercepted!,” and took an extra hit. No one seemed to mind. [buzzfeed] Tagged: obama revelation, pot smoker

CISPA Update of the Day Posted: 25 May 2012 08:39 AM PDT CISPA, the Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act that passed the House in April, likely is headed for a Senate vote in early June. To drum up opposition to the legislation, which would create “a ‘cybersecurity’ exemption to all existing laws,” Fight for the Future, Democrats.com, The Liberty Coalition, and the Entertainment Consumers Association have created a new website called Privacy Is Awesome. The site outlines the top five ways to help defeat CISPA: Call your senators and tell them to oppose the Lieberman-Collins bill (CISPA), and ask for a constituent meeting during the Memorial Day recess to help change their mind. Email senators offices about CISPA, expressing your opposition. Keep calling senators until they plan a constituent meeting. Donate to anti-CISPA organizers — the same teams that helped defeat SOPA/PIPA. Share your opposition online — Facebook, Twitter, etc. Meanwhile, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., is spearheading opposition to the legislation, concluding a recent Senate floor speech with: I believe these bills will encourage the development of a cyber security industry that profits from fear and whose currency is Americans private data. These bills create a Cyber Industrial Complex that has an interest in preserving the problem to which it is the solution. Watch the full video here. It’s terrific. [image: hypervocal / death+taxes]
