Its
Valentines Day. Half of the country will be f--king like
wild billy-goats. The other half will just be f--king bitter. The good folks
at Durex have something for both camps. The former can indulge in the contraceptive
concerns wide range of STD- and pregnancy-busting prophylactics. And for
the latter there's nothing less than an international-sized reminder of how much play
they're missing out on.
Durex, a subsidiary of London-based SSL International, recently released their
annual survey of sexual behavior around the world. The "Global
Sex Survey," now
in its eighth year, polled more than 350,000 people from 41 countries, and is
billed as the largest such study around. Among the 16 questions, the following
six stood out to me (I only listed results for first place, Canada, global average,
India, U.K., U.S. and last place):

Isn't is a tad unusual for respondents to time themselves? At the very
least, it has got to be distracting, and make for bad foreplay.

Frauenfelder: The Russian e-commerce site allofmp3.com sells MP3s of
all your favorite bands (icluding stuff that isn't on iTunes, like the full
Beatles catalog) for about .20 a song. This WSJ article asks whether its legal
or not.
[L]awyers say buying music from the sites is as illegal as
downloading it for free over a file-swapping network. "It doesn't matter if
somebody downloads in the U.S. and believes that it's legal because the site
tells them so," says Evan Cox, an intellectual property lawyer at the firm
Covington & Burling in San Francisco.
But here's something from the Farber mailing list that goes into a lot more
detail about the legality. It's not as clearcut as the WSJ article suggests.
There is a loophole in the Russian copyright legislation that makes
services like Allofmp3 possible. Apparently this loophole cannot be closed
easily.
...
The Music Industry claims that Allofmp3 is illegal but their own lawyers tell
them "... the music industry doesn't have much chance in succeeding (if they
attack these companies who are using music files on the Internet under current
Russian laws)." Instead they are pushing for changes in Russian copyright law
but progress is glacial. Chances that the loophole will be closed on short term
are low and there is great resistance to changes.

Friday - Had my brakes fixed. I had just gotten them replaces ...what like 6
months ago..and they were down to the squealers. I don't think I did anything
really after that.
Saturday - I went to see a friend's band play and it was a pretty good
time...it was: 30 bands.....::whooooosh:: 2 stages ::whoooooosh:: 1
purpose..... His band was one of the best there, but they didn't win. The
ska band ended up winning. There was some freaking hot girl who was literally
ripped right out of a magazine. The funny thing is that there was also this
older woman who was smoking hot. We named this older hottie "Stacy's
mom" per the song with the same name. Later on, we found out that
Stacy's Mom was the mother of the hot girl....apparently
named..."Stacy." Man that girl is going to be hot for like the next
40 years if the cliché about looking at the mother is true.
Sunday - After getting home, I went to my friend Mark's place for a bit and we
just kind of all hung out on our laptops and watched the Grammy's.
Another boring weekend....from a boring guy...who is also a fatty-fat fatso
loser....so umm..there ya go for the Weekend Update!
So, only one year have I had a girlfriend on Valentines Day, and we
were nearing the outs of our relationship at that time...AND I WAS ONLY
17....
so yeah...this day SUCKS!!!!
Then again being a miserable, overweight, loser, fatty-fat fatso who
couldn't get a date if I paid someone....makes it hard to have a
girlfriend on Valentine's Day...
