DC's Trinity #10 has a villain called "Sun-Chained-in-Ink".  Pronounced "All reasonable names were taken".  Come on, DC, really?

So, while studying up on SEO, I decide to go take a look at the state of my own sites.

It seems Asteroid L ranks at #9 in a search for "sevensome hardcore sex".

Wow.  Just wow.

What's the correct expression again?  Oh yes.  "Ur doin it rong."

(Yeah, I do know why, as does (probably) anyone who reads my blog.  But it's funneh anyway that I'd rank so high.  Guess there aren't enough sevensome pr0n sites out there.)

Eva shows me a video made by CCTV (for those not-China-savvy, that's the state network, not "Closed Circuit TV") about WoW and MMORPGs.

I see a room full of young people in army uniform (and some concerned-looking elders, presumably moms, in the back) watching a video of WoW in a big screen.

Me: What, they're teaching the army to fight dragons?
Eva: They're trying to convince them, and us, that MMORPGs are evil.
Me: No.  You must be pulling my leg, my theory was less ridiculous.
Eva: They say if you play WoW you lose your humanity.
Me: No, hmm, that would be Vampire the Masquerade.  (Sorry for the geeklings in the audience who don't have the background to get this one.)

Cue scene of human character massacred by creatures I can't identify (because I'm not a WoW player myself) -- orcs?  Giants?

Me: Well yeah, it doesn't look too good for humans if you suck at playing it...

It's ridiculous and a bit infuriating, though.  Any other place (well, almost), this would be an instant lawsuit.  But of course, it would be a bad idea to sue the state-operated TV network in a state that's still partially totalitarian.  It's times like this that I'm really tempted to go invest my money elsewhere... (well, when I have any!)
