A Nature Expedition or Merely Deer Porn?


Despite it all being very natural and above board, there remains something a little weird about groups of humans -- children included -- hiding in the bushes watching animals have sex…and paying for the privilege.

Fair Use Worth More Than Copyright To Economy

"The Computer and Communications Industry Association — a trade group representing Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo, among others — has issued a report (PDF) that finds fair use exceptions add more than $4.5 trillion in revenue to the U.S. economy and add more value to the U.S. economy than copyright industries contribute. "Recent studies indicate that the value added to the U.S. economy by copyright industries amounts to $1.3 trillion.", said CCIA President and CEO Ed Black. The value added to the U.S. economy by the fair use amounts to $2.2 trillion."

AHH if i had not gone to Thialand with my wife i just might own a bar...

Thailand has become synonymous with crazy vacations where English-speaking tourists can find anything and everything under the sexual sun, but a lot of men who make the journey find something even wilder than they could have imagined—like a girlfriend or even a wife. This interesting mini-documentary about the tropical paradise looks at gents who get more from the nation's famous "bar girls" than a one-night stand. These ladies offer a companion, a travel partner, and in some cases a mate for life, while the guys offer loving attention and financial support (i.e.. a potential way out of the seedy bars and nightclubs.) Oh, and there's the sex, too, but that's just a bonus. Some dudes even chuck their lives back home for a new one on the beach, but you'll only have to give up half an hour to see the video. Check it out before you find some one to love you a very long time
