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.

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?

"Faen ta deg, PETA!"

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