So, as everyone now knows, Turner reluctantly took perfunctory responsibility for the Day of the Mooninite and agreed to cough up a smooth $2 million to make Menino and pals go away. Also, the Boston Globe still can't stand Berdovsky and Stevens and continues to valiantly pretend everyone shares their sentiment.
Today's news was that Berdovsky videotaped the police removing a Mooninite but didn't tell them it was harmless. Okay, whatever. But comes now before the court of public opinion the counsel-cum-art-curator for the defendant:
"That's what he does. He videotapes things. He's a videotape freelance artist."
Yeah? Then that makes him, the kid from American Beauty, and my uncle at Christmas. Me, I'm gonna be a videotape freelance artist right now; I think the neighbors across the street are making out.

Bring me back some of that freeze-dried ice cream I like
Cinderella III: A Twist in Time was just released. I know Disney loves those direct-to-video sequels, but I can't help but be a bit perturbed - for Cinderella's sake - that we're only on the second sequel and she's already fucking with the space-time continuum. Because once you've done that, there are really only two other places you can go next: space, or the hood.
Being righteous don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing
Boing Boing is one of those Internet car crashes: you shouldn't look, but yet you cannot look away. Sometimes you see something cool, sometimes you see something you shouldn't and end up sick to your stomach, where all the unicorn chasers in the world won't undo the damage.
The most egregious offender is Xeni Jardin, who has developed a cult of hate such that people are creating sites like XeniSucks. Which is a fun read, though not exactly a bastion of coherent writing.
Today's Xeni offense occurs in this post, on which you could say, "yeah, that Wal-Mart page is coded pretty badly," but then again, the page loads fine for me, and I'm using Opera, which is the gimpiest of the gimp browsers.
From the screenshot it appears that she's using Firefox on a Mac, and Macs can't access the movies anyway. But then again, even if Macs could watch the Wal-Mart downloads... she's a Mac user, a Firefox user, and as a BoingBoing contributor, probably a communist, so she wouldn't shop at Wal-Mart anyway.
And yes, I checked the Wal-Mart store in Firefox on a Windows machine, and it loads like crap, but hell, even I won't shop at Wal-Mart. So who really cares?
