This is the Last Year I Trick-or-Treat in Australia (Blog Entry by dag)
I actually went trick or treating with my kids this year with a family who's mother is from the states, and it went quite well, lots of treats were handed out.
But....
I think it's far better to do Halloween parties in Australia rather than trying the whole trick or treat thing, it'll never be as big as the states, it's just the way it is here.
It'd be like an Englishman getting shitty at another country for not celebrating Guy Fawkes (cool holiday
As kids we had Halloween parties each year, and they're great. People here are more than happy to do the dress up thing and have spooky goings on, just don't expect people to be ready with lollies if you go out and about.
ZOMFG THE SWINE FLU! (Blog Entry by rottenseed)
The thing they are worried about is it's chance of mutating into something more deadly, but at present it's no worse than normal flu. It's actually a good thing to get it now (as long as you aren't weak or pregnant or otherwise in a position where a normal flu would be dangerous to you) as it'll give you antibodies to it for when it possibly becomes dangerous.

Supermodels Strip For Climate Change
OK, so they start off with the 'man, it's hot in here'... which is because of global warming... so they start taking their clothes off... which would suggest that climate change is a GOOD thing... so why stop it?
But then they change to saying that it's good to use less... so, wait... is that why they're taking their clothes off... because it's... um... using more of something to wear them, not because it's hot like they started saying... so... by reducing carbon we're going to make it more comfortable for them to be naked... except that would be warmer, not colder... so... erm..
A bit odd
And I'm pretty sick of causes just using naked/half naked women to get their point across (I'm looking at YOU PETA)... so.... no upvote for me.
Microsoft's Courier - Their secret booklet device
While I'd really have no great use for this, I'd want one and probably 'create' uses for it, just because it's so awesome!
And ^ It does come with a camera by this video, and also by 'photos' of the unit.

I fully got his point for god's sake.
My issue was that he had to put in there "and I happen to think she's a bit ugly". How was that needed in any way... did he feel the need to just ensure that he has such high standards that he would never find her attractive. It's sad and belittling to women. If it were a video of some guy doing a great cover, there'd more than likely be no comments on their looks at all.
I GET that it shouldn't be in the title to get views... what YOU don't get is that it's really not cool to slip in a comment that she's ugly when he's supposedly saying that looks don't come into it.

So wrong. That's not what he's doing at all. He doesn't give a shit about the talent, he just doesn't want sex to be the factor that gets the views/votes. If someone says a girl is cute/not in a comment, that means the video is already being viewed and cannot be swayed by the comment which states she is cute/not. He says the video should stand on whether or not the performance is good, not whether or not you can get enough people looking at your video of a "cute girl".
Sift is turning into daily newspapers. Put a good title, get more sales. Right or wrong, accurate or not, put a good title. "BIG TITTIES ON PAGE 3" is a good one. If the french president makes a speech, report on his wife "Cute redhead in sexy dress watches french husband make speech".
Get his point now?

Tell me, is it possible to be any more oversensitive?
It's not about being sensitive. Normally I don't care so much about this sort of thing, but it's getting annoying how much people manipulate titles to try to pull in views. Whether she's cute or not; and I happen to think she's a bit ugly; has nothing to do with this video. This is a talented duo performing a song. The video ought to be able to stand on that.
You go to great lengths to try to put the talent in display in the video over the looks of the girl, and yet manage to say she's ugly... bravo.
