I was going to suggest it could be worse. But I think the only way would be if it was CSI:Miami
Nah, CSI Miami has the virtue of being so awful it's (almost) good. CSI:NY is just mediocre.
I saw the "chocolate rain" guy today while waiting in line to fail to see deerhunter. He wants the kids to use turbo tax.
Speaking of furries: have people seen PG Porn? It is still NSFW, but because of some language, not naughty bits.
As a journalist I read this and thought, Fuck, I can't keep up. Because I've never heard of vidding. And if NPR is reporting on vidding, this practice is probably as old as Youtube. Fuck.
'smasher, you're too young yet to be unable to keep up.
6: they seem to be pretty on top of things lately.
So, reading the article, this strikes me as merely the whole Airwolf vs. Blue Thunder thing under a new, NPR-baitingly-stupid name, and with a couple of people willing to give pretentious quotes. I would say "meh", but apparently that's deprecated.
From the link in 8:
I hate to say this, but there's no group of thirty people on the internet where nobody gets defensive.
I'm stumped. If it weren't late, I'd say: discuss.

12: Is RAB* the new RTFA?
*Read Apo's blog.
Read fair apo's fucking blog? Sure.
Great now I'm going to be singing "O! Fair Apo!" in my fake-y opera voice all night.
16: Sounds worse for the people around you.
Reticulated fakirs abolished fancy boudoirs.
Rather falsely analytical females brood.
(Mine is far less impressive than ben's. No surprise).
Do you see any fancy boudoirs around anymore?
21: No, no I don't, yet I declare that that is not yet evidence of ben's radical claim!

I'll take 26 for RFAFB. Nice. Better than Royal Fucking Air Force Base, anyway, but AFB will always be Air Force Base for me, so forget that.

I really like this phrase, rump-fiend. There are definitely some people in my acquaintance who deserve the appellation.
Righteous foreclosees audaciously flense bankers
Rilke flees arena, fearing biliousness.
Right, frolicking aside, farewell! Bedtime.
Realtors fellate a fickle buyer.
Rorty fanboys attack fundamentalist bioethics.
I really like this phrase, rump-fiend.
It does feel good to say, though not nearly so much as "assbandit" does. Stormcrow's link is better than the one at my blog.

I have developed one of yesterday's comments into a brief post revolutionizing the trolley-car problem and introducing the reader to the fundamentals of problematology.
Seriously. Problematology is an actual philosophical tendency. And if philosophers had been talking about impaled bankers all along, instead of fat men on the railroad tracks, you wouldn't have heard a peep out of me. Philosophy needs to renounce idle speculation and return to a humane, contexted realism.

Robust finds ampules for Blume.
Regarding fetched ampules: forthcoming bill.
Also, I'm not that surprised by the existence of this phenomenon, given that (a) the internet is full of everything and (b) I already knew there were people who obsessively remixed anime to rock ballads and people will never be able to surprise me with their obsessing over anime, but wow; a scene devoted to CSI:NY is a really, really specific flavor of that.
5: I'm sure it says bad things about me, but I found that completely hilarious.
Rorty fanboys attack fundamentalist bioethics.
Should be "foundationalist bioethics".
46: Should be "foundationalist bioethics".
Yes, thanks "Foundationalist" is what I was searching for and did not find this morning on my way out the door.
42: introducing the reader to the fundamentals of problematology.
Seriously. Problematology is an actual philosophical tendency.
Seriously, "problematology" is a nonstarter, John.
To you. We disagree about most things of this kind.
Are you familiar with Meyer, Perelman, and Toulmin?
49: I was being glib, because "problematology" sounds so silly. No, I'm not very familiar with those people. We can drop it.
Probably most analytic philosophers dislike Meyer for exactly the reasons I like him. He and Toulmin are both able to talk analytic language, though (Toulmin actually studied under Wittgenstein), so in their case at leats it's possible for analytics to know what they're disliking.
