The polar bear debate. All this over cute Knut, who proves once again baby animals are deadly with the awww-factor. (This picture always do it to me. AWWW WANT ON ICON. Football and the cute, what's not to love? AWWWW. HEHEHE. Okay, enough.) And if this can be used to raise some awareness on the rather dire straits of polar bears, I say that is a good thing. He's not always going to be little and cute, but polar bears are awesome animals. The world would be poorer without them. Therefore cute is an acceptable weapon for the greater good.

When I see a fic titled Dårlig Ulv, my heart weeps a little. BAD NORWEGIAN. BAD. It's all the show's fault for using it in the first place, of course. Someone probably used Babelfish when putting that in the script. For shame. ("Dårlig ulv" can either read as a wolf that tasted real bad, or a wolf that got sick. Both leave slightly amusing mental images, but not the one "Bad Wolf" is meant to convey, me thinks.)

... And this is still my biggest problem with "Doomsday". There might possibly be something wrong with me.

Meanwhile, Doctor Who fandom gears up for series three that starts in a little over a week. And the BBC website has updated with wallpapers that can be seen as vaguely spoilery. There is snogging! Okay, other sources reveal it's a "genetic transfer", but HOY SNOGGING. This is where I reveal myself as a very bad Doctor/Rose shipper, since I find this stuff rather hot and look forward to it. Also think I like Martha so far. And want snogging icon with "Genetic transfer. With tongues" on. And I am very pleased with self for being excited over Doctor Who again. HOTNESS! ALIENS! FUNNY! TARDIS! MARTHA'S LEATHER JACKET! CPR! SHINY! It might be a very good series indeed.

Fandom reacts some. Fandom reacts some more. A mod returns to react to reactions. Nothing too bad yet, but I think we'll get wank at one point or another. This shocks no one, I'm sure.

That reminds me next week is the CSI episode where Grissom comforts Sara with actual touching. HOY TOUCHING. Given how CSI fandom is CSI fandom, this is bound to cause wank. This shocks no one, I'm sure.

I'll try to keep all updated. And the wankshelter stocked with plenty of alcohol. HOY ALCOHOL.

Anyone wanna predict a Doctor Who or CSI wank? (Not just in vague ways, that's cheating.) If you get one right, I will give you honourary title of Wankic.

Err, the mother didn't abandon him in the wild. She was a former preforming bear from East Germany, as I understood it. Which means he wasn't going to have a natural life either way.

PETA... I've never worn fur and I feel quite strongly about protecting endangered species and keeping habitats for wildlife, but PETA makes me want to throw whales on them on a regular basis.

"Err, the mother didn't abandon him in the wild." Then every single news agency reporting it is a collective buch of arses. Which is really no surprise to little disillusioned me.

I'll wear faux fur, at worst. I'm big on satin and velvet with animal prints in paticular, because they feel like it and DAMN it looks pretty. And I'm with you on throwing whales on PETA. Have you heard of a programme called "Penn and Teller's 'Bullshit!'" over here? They did an episode on PETA specifically, and I've it on my hard drive if you're interested on their particular take.

Hmm... come to think of it, how do you say (and for that matter, pronounce) "Fuck you, PETA" in Norwegian?

Well, how would you have a polar bear in the wild in Germany? We don't even have polar bears in the wild on mainland Norway - just at Svalbard and that's way far north.

I know of Pen and Teller, but don't think I've heard of that particular program. Was it funny?

"Faen ta deg, PETA!"

That's the other thing, they never mentioned that this took place in Germany. The online transcripts noted this, but not the actual broadcasts. Go figure.

It's incredibly funny, because they have a no-nonsense approach to things they have on their shows. They rip some subjects to pieces, like PETA and public safety and say "this is what's wrong with this particular thing"

^_^ Much appreciated... I'll probably be yelling that regarding idiots at work today.
