Scanning the web in search of more useless material, it seems some other brave souls have dared to take on the Aicha video.
One version and a local mirror because these things tend to disappear.
Another version and a local mirror.
And here’s something wild and crazy and of course, a local mirror.

Drawing ridicule worldwide, Virginia lawmakers are pushing a bill that imposes a $50 fine on anyone who intentionally exposes their underwear in a way that is “lewd or indecent”. It should be noted, however that for whatever reason, this law only applies to below-waist undergarments. The bill was passed by the VA House of Delegates and will now go to the state Senate where it will hopefully be killed for being really stupid. Then we can move on to banning leggings and animal prints.

This guy has way too much fun with his job.
Eric Harshbarger actually makes a living playing with LEGOs. And he’s really good at it, too. You definitely need to check out his desk. Makes me think more about what I should require at my next job interview.
Here’s a sample.

Is there anything Google can’t do? (Well, yes. At this point it can’t map my parent’s address.) In a way, it’s kinda scary. But it’s sooo cool, too.

Just in case you forgot where to shop.

Much better than watching the Super Bowl for five hours is just watching the commercials. Here are some of the best, with none of that annoying football to interrupt.

Imagine, if you can, a national election in the United States in which, during the weeks and months leading up to Election Day, rampant and random violence targeted voters and election workers.
Imagine if your neighborhood poll worker – usually a retired person with some time on his or her hands – was murdered or suffered the murder of a family member because of his or her participation in the election process.
Imagine that the election finally arrives, and close to 40 people who dare to show up at the polls are blown apart by suicide bombers.
Think there would be more than 60 percent national voter turnout?

Michael Moore is quiet this week after the Iraqi elections happened on schedule, with smashing success. Most source report turnout of eligible voters in Iraq at better than 60%. To put that in perspective, the surprisingly high turnout for the last election here in the United States — highest since 1968 — was 60.7%. Depending on how you look at it, that’s either great for Iraq, or terrible for Americans.
Overheard: “Who do you think has the healthier democracy?”
The people of Iraq spoke out loudly this week, in support of freedom and condemnation of violence. Even Americans are celebrating in the way they know best, at the stock market.
It’s a messy situation in the Middle East. Obviously there are millions of citizens who reveled in the privilege of their first free election. And all people want freedom from fear and persecution. However, there are violent forces in the area who would rather rule than see the people set free, and it has been the opinion of most of the world that it would be better to let those forces of violence have their way than to impose freedom on a people who are not ready for it. I hope those nations have learned something this week. You cannot impose freedom on anyone. You cannot force fair government on a nation that is not ready. Why? Because it is the hope and desire of every man and woman. No nation would choose tyranny. As we are seeing in Iraq and as history tells us of our own country, men and women will risk their lives and fortunes to break the shackles of oppression and fear.
I’ve no doubt that many Iraqis still see American troops as occupiers in their land. However, many of those proudly raised their ink-stained fingers into the air on election day. And that’s really all that matters. Eventually, foreign troops will leave the country. But they will leave a country with a freely elected government and a volunteer army made of men and women who are proud to serve a country that the built. Iraqi citizens have a privilege none of us alive to day can speak for. They are at this moment shaping the beginnings of their country, the writing of their constitution. They are their own founding fathers.

This fella’s built a shrine to all that is Aicha. He also hotlinked to my video. That’s cool though. I obviously don’t do anything for the respect.
