Eating a live baby octopus
It's one thing to be trapped on a tropical island and eat a live animal because you're starving and don't have access to fire. It's another to eat a live animal while sitting comfortably in a restaurant in one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Causing unnecessary extra pain to a creature you're going to eat just because you can doesn't seem very ethical to me.

The truth is, most Americans don't think twice about Canada. Thanks to our public education system, there's a large portion of us that probably thinks Canada's just another U.S. state, like Puerto Rico or Guam. That's why they're always bemused by the Canadians' jokes.

There are very few Canadians that I know that hold the States in any sort of high esteem.
Having Canadian friends, I know that's true. And yet you guys take every opportunity to take shots at us that you can get, which just comes across to most of us as barely disguised jealously and insecurity.

Rough Seas Destroy Cruise Ship Dining Room
This needs to be a level in a new FPS. Or a game in itself!!
There's a level in "Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II" where you're on a ship that is plummeting to the surface of the planet and you need to find a way to get off it. As it falls, it's rolling and twisting which means the level is basically rotating as you're trying to escape. Sometimes you're running on the walls, sometimes on the ceiling, sometimes you wind up free-falling down the hallways. Oh, and stormtroopers are still shooting at you as you try to escape. And stuff is sliding around too, so you have to avoid being crushed. It was bloody brilliant. I still contend that game had the best level design of all time.

More Info on Ian Freeman - Man Jailed for Couch
I have to say that I agree with the guy here. Check your bill of rights. The Sixth Amendment states, in no uncertain terms that all those who stand before a criminal prosecution shall:
"be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him"
Quite true, but that applies to the trial. This isn't a trial yet. As the judge pointed out, the whole point of the proceedings was to decide whether or not it was going to trial by having the defendant enter a plea. AFAIK you can't, when asked to enter a plea, refuse because theoretically if that were allowed you could tie up the proceedings forever. So when you refuse to enter a plea, judges automatically enter a plea of "not guilty" for you. Judge made the right call there and seems to be a fairly level-headed guy, since he even entertained the defendant's offer privately in chambers. He really had no obligation to do that.
Christian Rock Guitar Hero Clone: Guitar Praise
Certainly a terrible game, by game quality standards, but I don't really think it's a terrible idea. I grew up on all that music, and I knew pretty much every song/artist they mentioned. Though I'm an Atheist now, I would argue to the death that Skillet, and other Christian Rock bands, make great music.
To be entirely honest, if the game quality was up to that of GH or Rock Band, I would want this game.
Just to clarify, the * terrible was for the use of boobies to try to sell a supposedly family friendly product, the atrocious production values of the game, and the almost hilarious way the announcer explains the concept of the game as if no one has ever heard of Guitar Hero or Rock Band before.
