Top Ten Pieces of General Admission Summer Concert Etiquette
from lovehatethings.com I know you love your 3 year old. I know I don’t. There are beer, drugs, and scary-looking people at rock concerts. For the price you paid for a ticket, hire a sitter. I get that there may be a song that you don’t like and so you use that opportunity to go buy a drink or hit the bathroom, but if you’re putting double digits on the odometer before the first hour is up, maybe you should just stand in the concession area. Your friend does not need to know RIGHT NOW which song the band is playing, nor do I need you to scream into your cellphone for 5 minutes while standing 3 feet behind me on the lawn. This is a concert, not a ball game. I can get my own drink. I don’t need beer-laden shills waddling through my view to sell suds at my seat. I’d like to watch the show! As much as I might not like, but respect your right to walk up out of nowhere and stand right in front of me on the General Admission lawn, must you light up your shitty-smelling clove cigarette when do
What The F**K is Social Media: One Year Later
While this has been pretty much everywhere on the web so far, I think it’s something worthwhile to add to DyscultureD as well. This is an update to the original – one year later and it’s still pretty much bang-on… What the F**K is Social Media: One Year Later View more documents from Marta Kagan .
The United Colors of Facefeed
With news today that Facebook has fed on Friendfeed, I suppose the only question left to ask is will everyone FINALLY hear about Friendfeed now? At least I’m sure the cable news will report it… if they can tie it to Twitter. Our hope: that the new amalgamation will be called Facefeed, because Facebook has essentially become the junkfood of social networking anyway (I would say MySpace, but they’ve dropped to the dollar store canned food of the genre). And since we love nothing better than to FEED OUR FACE, I propose we all bow down to our new Lord of Timesuck: FACEFEED!

Flowcharts have been used to map out projects, encourage team-building and countless other applications. But this one takes the cake. Thanks to Holy Taco for taking flowcharts to the next level – or to home plate, if you will.
Blacque Jacque Shellacque on a Brontodoodle
via lovehatethings.com Okay, in an obvious attempt to suck in the animal lovers with a coy juxtaposition, the UK’s Daily Mail found a “cutesy” picture of two deer standing in front of a Drive In Liquor & Lounge in Medicine Bow, Wyoming. Three things: Drive In Liquor. YES! Just because a deer is in a picture, doesn’t make it cute. Would the photo have been consider cute if a flopping salmon was in front of Drive In window? WTF is with that logo!?! There’s some sort of Blacque Jacque Shellacque character brandishing a pistol riding a miniature dinosaur that most have been an early attempt at cross-breeding a Diploducus or Brontosaurus with a poodle. I’m sensing a new market for Brontodoodles… and are those footprints or mini dino turds behind them?
It's Not A Rumour...Is It?
We’ve posted a new poll regarding the truthiness behind the apparent reality of a new Apple tablet. Skeptics and fan-boys, have fun fighting this one out! Also, for those of you who want to provide input regarding the Copyright Consultations taking place throughout The Great White North (as I write this it is still quite warm here in Victoria, BC), we urge you to head on over to their website to put your two cents in. It may be the only online sharing you’ll be able to do in the future if voices aren’t heard now….
