You have got to be fucking kidding me:

According to a recent survey, 100 percent of female professionals said they had been subjected to sexual harassment by their bosses, 32 percent said they had had intercourse with them at least once and another seven percent claimed to have been raped.

Pretty disturbing.  Read more at Foreign Policy: Passport.

Direct Note Access is a technology that makes the impossible possible: for the first time in audio recording history you can identify and edit individual notes within polyphonic audio material.  The unique access that Melodyne affords to pitch, timing, note lengths and other parameters of melodic notes will now also be afforded to individual notes within chords.

Gotta see it to believe it.  Watch the demonstration video here.

(Thanks, Claire.)

Okay, we all know the benefits of buying generic.  Generic ibuprofen is the same thing as Advil, but significantly cheaper.  So, we save money—sometimes quite a bit.

However, Snarkmarket points out the truly unbelievable savings that can be had by buying generic online.

For comparison’s sake, you get 32 pills in each bottle of Unisom (over-the-counter sleep-aid) and pay roughly $11.  Buy generic, however, and you’ll get 1,000 pills for $20.  I shit you not.

Speaking of t-shirts, I recently noticed the label on one of mine reads, “Not for use as pants.”  Is that a serious warning—or just a joke?

Totally sweet t-shirt.  Totally stupid t-shirt.

Teaser trailer for the upcoming W. is out.  I, for one, am interested in seeing how Oliver Stone handles a topic as broad as George W. Bush.  The current trailer’s emphasis is on his immature, party-loving nature.  I guess we’ll see where it goes from there.  Also worth checking out is this great mock-up poster for the same film, complete with all our favorite quotations.  It appears in IMDb’s image gallery, but I’m not sure if it’s official or not.

PS:  Watch the trailer while you still can; it’s already been pulled from YouTube by Lionsgate.

By Adam Gopnik, from over a year ago in The New Yorker.

It is the sense that the city’s recovery has come at the cost of a part of its identity: that New York is safer and richer but less like itself, an old lover who has gone for a face-lift and come out looking like no one in particular.  The wrinkles are gone, but so is the face.  This transformation is one you see on every street corner in Manhattan, and now in Brooklyn, too, where another local toy store or smoked-fish emporium disappears and another bank branch or mall store opens.  For the first time in Manhattan’s history, it has no bohemian frontier.  Another bookstore closes, another theatre becomes a condo, another soulful place becomes a sealed residence.  These are small things, but they are the small things that the city’s soul clings to.

…As Imagined by Famous Directors.

Suddenly the sky goes very dark, the Kung Fu Panda feels his pulse quicken, and “Embraceable You” plays in the background.  The Kung Fu Panda dreams that he makes love to Girl Panda.  She asks him to hit her and he does, raising his paw against the numbing ignorance of values-centric Middle America.

Check out the winners.

We have received more than 15000 design entries from all over the world.  From these, we have selected 1 Gold Prize, 10 Silver Prizes, and 19 Bronze Prizes.  We are pleased to present the award-winning designs here.

Nice designs from Moral Fabric.

Our t-shirt designs focus on the psychedelic art movement of the 60’s and 70’s, ancient Middle Eastern mosaic patterns, perception vs. reality, spiritual ideologies, and the intelligent designs of Mother Nature.

Organic, too!

All of the organic cotton used in our mens t-shirts has been grown and manufactured in the USA.  In fact, these fibers have been grown in Texas and are certified by the Texas Department of Agriculture.  The organic cotton used in our womens t-shirts has been grown in Peru under fair trade working conditions and manufactured in The USA.

(Hmmm…  “The USA” with a capital T, huh?)

I love it.
