in the translation from japanese section that one has the most entries (207), second-place is tech (110), third is manga (74), the rest are mostly single digits.

i'd look up other languages but :effort:

hey, that song with paula abdul was pretty good :colbert:




but this is approaching maximum shamefulness:

According to the press kit from Virgin Records' media information, Skat Kat is a "street philosopher with an alley Kat point of view." He enjoys rapping and dancing, has "got an eye for the ladies," and "remains on the smooth tip with an old school rap influence which adds the street to his new school hip hop."

although it's really more shameful for the record company than for wikipedia

Cashio or Kashio (as written in Katakana text, カシオ): Casio is a multinational electronics company, and since it is written as "kashio" (カシオ) in Katakana as mentioned, some poke fun at this since they sometimes charge quite a bit of money on electronics and watches.

Netizens often called Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. as "MandaramBONG" (Filipino word for plunderer) for denying allegations of pocketing pork barrel funds through the use of fake non-government organizations linked to pork scam mastermind Janet Lim Napoles.[39] Later in 6 months, after his speech "Salamat, Kaibigan" delivered, many Twitter users tweeted a hash-tag "#BongPanes" as a negative reaction of the speech, as well as his music within the same title.[40][41]

Wikipedia refuses to delete photo as 'monkey owns it'

quote:

Wikimedia, the US-based organisation behind Wikipedia, has refused a photographer’s repeated requests to remove one of his images which is used online without his permission, claiming that because a monkey pressed the shutter button it should own the copyright.
British nature photographer David Slater was in Indonesia in 2011 attempting to get the perfect image of a crested black macaque when one of the animals came up to investigate his equipment, hijacked a camera and took hundreds of selfies.

[quote]List of sports team names and mascots derived from indigenous peoples

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search


Main article: Native American mascot controversy

There is considerable controversy over these team names and mascots because various groups, including some representing indigenous peoples, view them as disrespectful, racist and offensive. The National Congress of American Indians, the largest organization representing enrolled tribal citizens in the United States, issued a resolution opposing continued usage of Native American team names, mascots, and logos by non-Native teams. Numerous educational, academic, civil rights, athletic, and religious organizations have done the same.

Some teams that are themselves Native American continue to use the names Indians, Braves, and Redskins; while certain tribes have granted permission to use their specific names, as in the case of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Nation[1] and the Seminole Tribe of Florida[2] for Central Michigan University and Florida State University, respectively.

Many teams and fans support the continued use of these names as a long-standing tradition, and citing public opinion polls indicating the names are not offensive to a majority, including Native Americans. The usual statement is that "We are honoring Indians with our mascot", which is disputed for many reasons:[3]
Why, if the intention is to "honor," are non-Indian schools themselves not named, more often, after an Indian leader? Why is it just the schools' mascots?
If having an "Indian" mascot is a way of "honoring" Indians, why are not other entire racial groups scrambling to be so honored?
Is it possible that there's a subconscious cultural pathology involved in White people who decimated Indian culture turning around and making them and their culture a mascot for sporting events?
Is making Indians into one-dimensional mascots a not-so-subtle way of further humiliating Indians while using the language of "honor" to hide that fact, even from ourselves?
Why, if the intention is to "honor" Indian heritage is that same heritage put into the position of being dishonored by the opposing team and fans at a sporting event?
Isn't the premise upon which a mascot is chosen based more on expressing one's power to defeat the opponent than to 'honor' the mascot itself.
Is it possible that the use of the term "honoring" is simply a way to delude oneself into thinking that taking someone else's culture and trivializing it at a sporting event is acceptable?
Do your students integrate into the school's life and curriculum the study of Indian sovereignty issues, US abrogation of treaty obligations, forced removals, Wounded Knee, or the long trail of suffering we who make them our mascots exacted on American Indians?
Is it possible that the fact that "Indians" are used so often as mascots while other racial groups are not, is simply a reflection of modern day White privilege exercising its majority power over a small, relatively powerless minority?
If one is truly "honoring" Indians by using their imagery as a sport mascot, why does that "honoring" not extend to hearing the representative Indian organizations express the desire not to be stereotyped as violent and "savage" and not to have their sacred culture used for fun and games? Where is the "honoring" in turning a deaf ear to these concerns?
Is not the real purpose of a mascot to put fear in the opponent, provide the fans with a means for smashing the opponent's team? Does placing Indian culture in that position "honor" that culture or perpetuate TV Western's stereotype of American Indians?
How is it not paternalistic to say one is "honoring" Indians by using "Indian" mascots when it has stated clearly that such use of Indian imagery and logos in public school mascots is offensive and harmful to Indian students?
How can one defend using an "Indian" mascot by pointing to approval by a single Indian student or a single Indian teacher when the Congress of American Indians, the National Indian Education Association, the Society of Indian Psychologists, and many other Tribal organizations have urged educators to re-think and retire these images?
