Dear William/Spike/Milton/Braniac

You said things about Lex Luthor, to which he responded negatively claiming it was awful close to libel.

Your response:

"It's not libel if it's true."

You'll be happy to know that it's not libel either way. It must be printed to be libel. Lex should've accused you of slander.

I must admit disappointment with the both of you (evil supervillain inevitabilities aside). You two represent the greatest minds in the comic universe (Batman aside) and should know the difference between slander and libel.

Sincerely,
Binsk L. Doodle

What Would Jesus Post?

A New Jersey Catholic school told students to remove any online accounts they have at such places as MySpace and Xanga.

The primary impetus behind the ban is to protect students, [the Rev. Kieran] McHugh said. The Web sites, popular forums for students to blog about their lives and feelings about their teachers and schools, are fertile ground for sexual predators to gather information about children, he said.

You would know how to go about gathering information on children, wouldn't you? Is this for the kids, or because your frock gets a little tight after reading young Johnny's LJ post about how hard you rapped him across the knuckles earlier that day?

My Finger's On The Trigger

And you're in my way.

Anachrontastic

I love shit like this. Way back when, Mark Simonson wrote an article called "Typecasting" that looked at the correct usage of fonts in films. Like, a film set in 1854 that uses Helvetica, even though Helvetica wasn't created until 1959. He just posted a new one about GANGS OF NEW YORK. Via Kottke.

This is like how I generally get pissed off whenever computer interfaces are shown on screen, because they're designed so poorly and don't resemble any real world interface.

If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.
