Obama admin. proposes wiretapping media pirates | The Raw Story: “In today’s media saturated age, savvy consumers have grown mindful of what’s on. But soon, you’ll also need to be sure of where that video came from too — or Uncle Sam might decide to listen in on your phone conversations.
That’s no joke: it’s actually just one in a series of the Obama administration’s proposed reforms to intellectual property laws, which could fundamentally change how people share audio and video on the Internet.
In the most dramatic among them, the president has asked Congress for the authority to wiretap suspects in copyright cases.”

Man With 4th Amendment Written On His Chest Sues The TSA – The Consumerist
Man With 4th Amendment Written On His Chest Sues The TSA – The Consumerist: “This 21-year-old was on his way to Wisconsin for his grandmothers funeral when he was handcuffed and held for 90 minutes on a disorderly conduct charge. Why? He opted-out of the ‘naked scanner’ and instead chose the pat-down — at which point he began removing his clothes to expose a message written on his chest in marker. The message, of course, was the 4th amendment.
‘He went there knowing he would not do the advanced imaging and do the pat-down instead,’ his attorney said in a telephone interview with Wired. ‘He was making it easy for them and in the process he wanted to communicate his objection for doing so.’
The man is now suing for, among other things, wrongful detention and a breach of the First Amendment and Fourth Amendment. Despite the delay, he made his flight.”

Feds: Alleged Ecstasy Smuggler Hid Her Stash In Octomomesque Protuberance | The Smoking Gun
Feds: Alleged Ecstasy Smuggler Hid Her Stash In Octomomesque Protuberance | The Smoking Gun: “A Georgia woman is facing a federal drug rap for allegedly trying to smuggle a large stash of Ecstasy into the country over a bridge connecting Canada to Buffalo.
Leeann Corley, 25, was aboard a Greyhound bus last Thursday night when border agents became suspicious of her claim that she was eight months pregnant and was returning to the U.S. after visiting a sick aunt.
During a pat down search, investigators discovered that Corley was ‘wearing a body suit with a modified stomach area,’ according to a U.S. District Court complaint. As seen in the above evidence photo (click to enlarge), that ‘modified stomach area’ contained ‘33 zip lock bags containing colored pills.’
The seized narcotics weighed 21.63 pounds, and border agents extrapolated that the bags contained a total of 34,230 Ecstasy pills.
While Corley was not photographed in her ‘pregnant’ state, her purported protuberance would likely have been Octomomesque.”

Stallion Semen Served Up in New Zealand as New Energy Drink
Stallion Semen Served Up in New Zealand as New Energy Drink: “The latest crazy candidate for a food fad may prove to be quite a mouthful.
Raise your glass if you fancy a shot of horse semen, a purported ‘delicacy’ that will debut at the Wildfoods Festival in Hokitika, New Zealand, in March.
‘It is sort of quirky, I suppose,’ festival organizer Mike Keenan told AOL News, with Kiwi understatement.
‘It is the protein of the stallion. It is going to be tastefully done.’
The shots, which will sell for $10, are pitched as being healthy energy boosters and will be available to sample as they come or in cherry, licorice or banoffee pie flavors.
‘You often hear from a female perspective that semen has an awful alkaline taste, so we thought we’d better make it more user friendly,’ explained horse trainer Lindsay Kerslake, whose stallions will supply the shots, according to The Australian. “

15 Bizarre Buildings
15 Bizarre Buildings: “Architecture can amaze us in so many ways. There are structures that make our jaw drop because of its beauty while others are seem so grandiose to look at. They are also usually those kinds of buildings that convince us to take a double-take on our camera. They look strange, silly, weird, and sometimes, funny.
These are the structures that challenge our vision and trick our mind, each time we take another look at them; it takes us back to the awe that architecture always manages to convey. Here are 15 buildings that will surely get a double-take once you get around them.”
