I've already nominated 2 people for BBE/IE.  I feel like I should do the same for this case, but I feel like I should wait till next week.  If anyone else wants to, go ahead.

From number 2 on this article:  http://www.cracked.com/article_20122_6-ill-advised-marketing-campaigns-that-backfired-hilariously_p2.html

"But the obvious issue is that even people who defend the magazine admit that it's "old school" and a "bro's club," and the attitude of "Why should we change when it's you trying to enter our world?" seems to misunderstand what the whole "gender equality" thing is about."

I call bullshit.  As with video games, you didn't build it up.  You had nothing to do with it for years.  It is a very douche move to barge in and start demanding special treatment in already existing voluntary organizations.  If you really believe you're better than the rest of us, go out and prove it.

That's what I find so disgusting about this scumbag atm: bitches about video games when in the grand scheme of things he's lucky he's in norway: where  i'm from he might not make it to the trial: no Arab country punishes murder in anything that can be construed as "humane"--nevermind killing 77 people, mostly children.
Meh

"More than 300,000 personal records for faculty, staff and students who have received identification cards at the University of Maryland were compromised in a computer security breach this week, school officials said.

Brian Voss, vice president and chief information officer at U-Md., said officials think that whoever got into the database duplicated the information, which includes names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth and university identification numbers for 309,079 people affiliated with the school on its College Park and Shady Grove campuses."

Fail because of it even happening.

Um whats the fail here?

Alexander violated an order of protection, went to where her husband was staying with the kids, got into an argument, left the house, went into her car, got a firearm and cranked off a round into a wall (not the ground) inside the house where the husband and kids were staying. You can't leave a house that you are not supposed to be in to begin with, grab a firearm, go back into the house you are not supposed to be in, start shooting and claim "SYG". If one is firing a "warning shot" then one is not subject to the use of, or imminent use of, force likely to result in serious physical injury or death and therefore discharging a firearm (using deadly force) is illegal. The discharging of a firearm is considered to be deadly force and the sole place to discharge a firearm if one is being attacked (which Alexander was not) is center of mass and continuing to fire center of mass until there is no longer a threat.

Giles was at a club when a fight broke out. He got sucker punched. Giles fired what he described as a "warning shot". That "warning shot" struck someone. Again as in the Alexander case refer to "warning shot" and why no state in the country considers them to be within the boundaries of the law.

The damn shame of it is Giles is one of the good guys, but he stepped on his dick by telling the cops "warning shot". Once he says that he is stating that deadly force was not justified and got jammed up for it. Had he stated "There was a crowd of aggressors (disparity of force) and someone in this crowd sucker had already punched me in the head (unlawful use of force / assault) and I believed that when this group came running at me (what a 'reasonable person' would believe) they were going to beat me to death (use of force likely to cause serious physical injury or death) so I fired to stop the threat to my life" most likely he would not have been indicted in the first place, much less put on trial.

Zimmerman was admittedly a cop wanna-be. He stuck his nose into something he was obviously totally unprepared to handle. He was getting his ass whooped, had his nose busted, was getting ground pounded and fired a shot to stop the attack. SYG never entered into the trial (by the defense or prosecutor).

The discharging of a firearm is considered to be deadly force and the sole place to discharge a firearm if one is being attacked (which Alexander was not) is center of mass and continuing to fire center of mass until there is no longer a threat.

In most jurisdictions, you are allowed to use "equal force", so your not really supposed to use a gun when you're being attacked with a fist. There are exceptions, for example if you happen to be a 100lb woman or kid against a 200lb man with a known history of violence.

Along the same lines, you are only allowed (usually) to use the exact amount of force necessary to stop the threat. So, if you can stop the threat by immobilizing the perp, for example by shooting him in the leg, then going for the kill shot (shooting center mass) is illegal.

Folks, Zimmermann WAS just defending himself in order to save his own life as has been established many freakin' times.  Get over yourselves.

Even if he was an idiot for getting into that situation in the first place.
