So I was on the internet today and coincidentally searching for something completely unrelated to what I wanted to currently write about. I think I was going through Back To The Future II mp3s or something. Anyways I landed on Wikipedia and then this dude comes out of nowhere and slaps me in the face.

May or may not be the original caption.

The words “new father” grabbed my attention right off the bat as I said to myself, “Heyyyyyyyy I’M A NEW FATHER 2!!!1one!”. Whether that was a coincidence or some pure form of mind blowing Minority Report advertising, I will never find out. Nevertheless, I stood up from my chair and proceeded to applaud in the direction of my screen.

Okay this peaked my interest a little. So I thought I would mosey on over to my left mouse button to see what this dude wants.

If you’ve tooled around this site a little, you’ll most likely already know that we’re totally hard for anything Back To The Future. Today the official trailer for Back To The Future: The Game hit the webs and it is heavy. We’ve been pretty stoked on this and it’s great to see something officially out there. Check it out after the jump.

Another week, another Facebook trend. You might have seen a friend with this status lately:

“To join the fight against child abuse, change your facebook profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. Until Monday (December 6, 2010) there should be no human faces on facebook, but an invasion of memories.”

As usual with this new trend of “slacktivism”, you won’t change anything about the world by just changing a picture on Facebook. That’s why for Movember, we gave you a link to the Prostate Cancer Foundation – so you could not only grow that rad mustache, but also make a real difference. These Facebook messages carry no such link or resource, and thus, make no difference. BTW, the cartoon-character change actually originated in Greece in late November, as a fun game, with no real altruistic goal.

If you’d like to help the fight against child abuse, check out the scary statistics, and please check out some of the following sites, and donate your time and money toward whatever you feel is appropriate:

There’s a whole lot out there, there’s a couple good jumping-off points to get you started on really “changing your image”, and not just changing your picture on Facebook.

In the meantime, change your Facebook picture back to your own ugly mug and don’t break your ankles jumping off the bandwagon. kthx.

Ken Wooden, the dude behind Child Lures Prevention, somehow read between the lines: the new TSA pat-downs, he says, are grooming our children to be compliant regardless of whether the pat-down is TSA or sexual predator-administered. Booyah, take that, TSA!

Children, known for hiding grenades and sticks of dynamite behind their junk, get a “modified pat-down”, according to the TSA website.

The TSA, in order to reduce childrens’ fears of having a strange persons’ hands on them, have turned it into a “game.” Wooden told Raw Story that children aren’t mentally sophisticated enough to distinguish between a TSA pat-down and a predator pat-down. Wooden says the TSA’s pat-downs can “desensitize children to inappropriate touch and ultimately make it easier for sexual offenders to prey on our children.”

So if you’re planning on traveling this holiday season, do yourself, your child, and the TSA a favor and just bring your child to the airport nude. Or get them a 4th Amendment shirt.
