Norwegian politician, Tove Lill Lyote

Tove Lill was one of the finalists in Miss Norway (Not to be confused with the Frøken Norge pageant, sometimes translated to Miss Norway in English) 2007 and won the finale. After that she has travelled around the world as Miss Norway in international beauty competitions such as Miss Tourism Queen International, Miss Peace International, International Union of Beauty pageants, Miss Globe International and Miss Pearl. She had her first modeling job at age 19 for a friend just for fun, doing a music video with a Norwegian rapper band. She realized modeling was what she wanted to do, and she sent the photos to a photographer, and a few weeks later she was on the cover of one of Norway’s biggest magazines.

A famous model scouter saw Tove Lill’s photos, and wanted to bring her to Los Angeles for work. They started a reality show called Glamour of Sweden with 5 other models, where they were competing with Playboy’s Girls Next Door.

In The United States, Hugh Hefner noticed the Norwegian beauty, and after Tove Lill moved back to Norway, he called her and invited her to the Playboy Mansion to do a Playmate shoot. Tove Lill stayed for a while, and Hefner wanted Tove Lill to be his girlfriend.

In addition to be a model, Tove Lill is also a politician. She is the leader of the Norwegian political party Progress Party’s Youth Organization the Youth of the Progress Party (Fremskrittspartiets Ungdom in Norwegian) in the county of Vest-Agder.

The Progress party:

The Progress Party’s Youth (Norwegian: Fremskrittspartiets Ungdom, FpU), is the youth wing of the Norwegian political party the Progress Party. It is generally more libertarian than the Progress Party itself, both with regards to economics and politics in general. The current leader of the organization is Ove Vanebo.

In the organization’s manifesto, it states that; “The government should not use economic politics to influence economic development”, in stark contrast to the Progress Party’s economic politics. It also wishes to replace the public safety net with private insurance arrangements and privatize some schools and hospitals, making the public hospitals “compete” with the privately owned hospitals. On social politics, the youth party also has a much more liberal approach. The youth party does not support gay marriage in a common church, thus they do support them in getting married in a humanitarian church, due to religiously-influenced views that state that it is against the bible and what the church is built on.

The overarching political principle of FpU is that of individual freedom, and the right to do as you want, as long as it don’t bother anyone else or break any religious principles. A much used slogan, “my freedom ends where yours starts”, illustrates that in a clear way.

Too many Sperm Donor offspring could result in accidental incest

I really want to be a sperm donor because i feel like i owe it to the world to have more of my DNA running around, but… at the same time… my future wife is probably not born yet so i REALLY dont want to be hitting on a girl and have to bring up her family history right away to make sure she’s not my daughter before i bang her. also, if there’s a bunch of male-me’s out there, they could rise up and destroy me King Arthur style so eff that too.

I think I’ve mentioned my concerns about donating sperm, myself, on here before, but this story is another thing that makes me think about that stuff: This one guy has 150 offspring out there in the world from his sperm donations…

As more women choose to have babies on their own, and the number of children born through artificial insemination increases, outsize groups of donor siblings are starting to appear. While Ms. Daily’s group is among the largest, many others comprising 50 or more half siblings are cropping up on Web sites and in chat groups, where sperm donors are tagged with unique identifying numbers.

Now, there is growing concern among parents, donors and medical experts about potential negative consequences of having so many children fathered by the same donors, including the possibility that genes for rare diseases could be spread more widely through the population. Some experts are even calling attention to the increased odds of accidental incest between half sisters and half brothers, who often live close to one another.

“My daughter knows her donor’s number for this very reason,” said the mother of a teenager conceived via sperm donation in California who asked that her name be withheld to protect her daughter’s privacy. “She’s been in school with numerous kids who were born through donors. She’s had crushes on boys who are donor children. It’s become part of sex education” for her.

See?? I’m not the only one with this concern. Although maybe the only one concerned about screwing his daughter rather than being a donar-baby and accidentally screwing your sister. meh. whatevs.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Animated Series

2 years ago I couldn’t talk about the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series without mentioning my crusade to get Disney to make a non-shitty animated series of it. Air it on ABC, air it on the Disney Channel – I don’t care. but it’s such a better way to utilize the franchise. Put Will Turner, Elizabeth Swan, Captain Barbossa, Captain Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones in an episodic endless cycle that creates and breaks alliances, introducing us to wonderful new adventures.

Well today, someone sent me this:

Coming Soon?

Unfortunately…no… The sad, stupid truth is that image above is fan art. there is no cartoon and there is no plans for a cartoon…. I am sorry to crush your dreams. Pay it forward.

Mac vs Pc: Who stole from who more?

The rap on Microsoft is that they started out stealing from Apple and continue to look out their Windows onto the Apple orchard for things to take and implement into their own products. The worst and most obvious example is the Zune. I mean, comethefuckON Microsoft… MP3 players existed for a few years before the iPod and Microsoft didn’t want in until Apple revolutionized the market with something unique and game changing. Instead of entering with something also unique and game changing, the Zune was a straight up clone of the iPod complete with click wheel. Apple responded by immediately dropping the click wheel format, making it obsolete and punking Microsoft – a move siblings have been using for decades (“younger sister trying to copy you? completely change your style so all the things she bought to look like you no longer look like you. take THAT, bitch”).

But going back to the basics: isn’t it true that Microsoft stole the start of Apple and built a billion dollar corporation on it? For the answer, I turn to Hollywood. I skimmed the the made for tv movie The Pirates of Silicone Valley a few years ago and it appears to conclude that Steve Jobs got punked by a crafty Bill Gates.

The reason I’m writing this article however is that I saw this slideshow of Top 10 features that Apple stole from Windows.

Not all of these are steals. some of these things were just computer things that the Windows operating system made popular and then mac adopted. like how Microsoft “stole” the mouse. Apple didnt invent the computer mouse but no one used them in their hardware besides like…idk…NASA until apple started manufacturing them. Some in the list seem like stretches to label as stolen. like “control panel“. Apple had separate control panels, named as such, fist – then Microsoft stole the name and put them in one area – then Apple let Microsoft have the name and put their control panels into one System Preferences window. That’s marked as Apple stealing from Micro. and that’s a stretch.

Some might be valid steals that i guess that i didnt really think about before because i grew up using Windows first before i joined the cult of fruit but it still comes off as a little weak only because the features seem more common and not Microsoft-exclusive. Things you’d find in video game menu’s or software across all platforms or in Linux or in movies where they’re faking an operating system. but those are most likely Microsoft imitations as well, so it’s not really a valid argument. There is a Top 10 features Microsoft stole from Mac OS X too.

The recent copies are what I noticed, because Windows Vista came out right when I made the switch to using Apple for my main computing needs and I was just like “whoah… really??”

Steve Jobs on the trouble with Microsoft:

Obama Reverses on Costly Enviro-Regulation

President Obama has changed his policy on a piece of legislation that held back business in favor of protecting Mother Earth. When President Bush did things like this it was cuz he wanted babies and old people to choke on oil exhaust so he would have something to masturbate to. What’s the spin when Obama does it?

In a dramatic reversal, President Barack Obama on Friday scrubbed a clean-air regulation that aimed to reduce health-threatening smog, yielding to bitterly protesting businesses and congressional Republicans who complained the rule would kill jobs in America’s ailing economy.

Withdrawal of the proposed regulation marked the latest in a string of retreats by the president in the face of GOP opposition, and it drew quick criticism from liberals. Environmentalists, a key Obama constituency, accused him of caving to corporate polluters, and the American Lung Association threatened to restart the legal action it had begun against rules proposed by President George W. Bush.

The White House has been under heavy pressure from GOP lawmakers and major industries, which have slammed the stricter standard as an unnecessary jobs killer. The Environmental Protection Agency, whose scientific advisers favored the tighter limits, had predicted the proposed change would cost up to $90 billion a year, making it one of the most expensive environmental regulations ever imposed in the U.S.

Wtf is going on here? Certainly there is a conspiracy, since we all know that government forcing businesses to do things that hippies want done is the only way they will ever stop polluting the planet into an irreversible death spiral. So what say you, then, hippies? Does Obama want everyone to choke on corporate America’s gaspipe schlong just like those evil Republicans? Or were you lying about the evilness of those Republicans and now that a Leftist administration is making the concession that goes against that talking point, you’re ready to admit that you were just using that ad hominem smear to demonize people who stand in your way of your unrealistic utopian ideals?

If an actual hotel lobby of hippie-convention attending survey takers were to be polled, I would bet on the choice being to throw Obama under the bus because the lie about evil corporate greed being at the heart of mamma-earth protecting cultist ideals is too much a staple in hippie doctrine to give up. The quote above, displays as much already. The only viable option someone who has bought that line of thinking has is to claim that Obama has been co-opted by the evil corporate machine or something and is now going to coldly kill us all.
