You know what? You don't like the show then don't stay. Go ahead and leave. But don't destroy someone's art just because it angers, offends or frightens you.

Mike Daisey was performing his monologue INVINCIBLE SUMMER at American Repertory Theatre on April 19th when the show was disrupted by eighty seven members of a Christian group who walked out of the show en masse to protest the content, and chose to physically attack the work by pouring water on and destroying the original of his show outline.

"The best thing anyone can say about Gonzales' testimony is he didn't use the word 'nappy' and he remembered to wear pants."

In 1993, AT&T looked into the future of the Internet and it saw -- among many other things -- instant voice translation and videophone calls from airplanes:

This is part one of a six-part series of a vintage 14-minute AT&T promotional video, uploaded and commented-upon at Paleo-Future.

Jim Meko is an SF Entertainment Commission member and also on the Western SOMA Citizens Task Force, and he's trying to get venerable South of Market bars The Eagle and The Hole In The Wall shut down. From what I've read of Mr. Meko, he seems to be believe he's a Planning Commission of one, and the community should probably step out to remind him he's not the only, or the deciding, voice in such matters.

Oh my

SF Gate blogger is really, really sorry that she joked about Gavin Newsom having oral sex with a KTVU microphone.

SFist would like to know what it takes for local queers to make Out's A-list, and I must resist making a wiseass remark that starts with "Who do you have to blow..."

Critical Mass bikers call bullshit on Susan Ferrando's's minivan terror story, say she tried to pull a hit and run.

Samson Wong, the editor who green-lighted Kenneth Eng's shit-stirring "Why I Hate Blacks" op-ed at AsianWeek, has been demoted to consultant with a weekly column.

The last day for Cody's Books in San Francisco: April 20.

The Craigslist ad said "everything free for the taking," and take everything, they did - even the window frames. Unfortunately, the ad wasn't placed by the home's owner. Who would have done such a thing? The owner's sister, say some.

Don't littler in front of Montreal's Claude Landry:

Claude lui relance ses mégots!!!

Here's a nice "benediction" given at the commencement ceremony of a small, public Texas college. Those Pentecosts sure know how to liven up a room!

VP Dick Cheney appears to have lost his mind, demanding that reporters in a mid-air press conference not identify him in his stories by name, but as an unidentified senior administration official. And that's just the start of the crazy.

Shrill human sideshow with a minority party fanbase calls John Edwards a faggot.

Quick! Name all 50 states in ten minutes -- from memory, no cheating.

Afghanistan's first riot grrl band? (YouTube)

Even more YouTube goodness: Low-level flight over the Swiss Alps in a fighter jet. The flight "climbing" the Matterhorn is amazing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Oh, San Francisco I love you so much.

So there were some recent stories -- damned if I can actually find them now -- about how gay neighborhoods are being diluted, and that some gays and lesbians don't see the need to live in "a ghetto." While I'm all for mainstreaming, I'd like to remind some of my more progressive brothers and sisters that they live in a bubble of privilege and denial.

Who in the hell thought encouraging people to dig for treasure in a cemetery was a good idea? Dr. Pepper, that's who. Never mind, it's been called off.

The Examiner's Ken Garcia is in favor of MUNI inspectors fining fare evaders, unless the scofflaw happens to be his daughter, at which point they should realize it's just circumstances and give the kid a break. The N-Judah Chronicle calls this what it is: Fare evader junkie logic.

Seattle Storm fans may want to consider that the team's new owners contribute heavily to anti-gay political action committees.

If this clip about Hollywood working stiffs was indeed rejected for the Academy Awards show last night, I think it had less to do with any implied conspiracy theory and more to do with it being a hackneyed piece of crap.

Although I won't be getting one because you'd have to be insane to buy first generation Apple hardware (not to mention switching to Cingular) , I really like the iPhone commercial.

In the timing-is-everything dept., Bill Gates gushes enthusiastically about the innovation of High-Tech Bayshore, a Bay Area high school, as a shining beacon of innovation -- the day after it closes.

When the lights go down in The City: Two thousand folks in SoMA are powerless this morning, which certainly explains the dearth of rush-hour snark on the Internets.

NSFW fun from the 100 Worst Porn Movie Titles, including Topless Brain Surgeons.

A gripe about MUNI that's not the transit agency's fault: Mind your manners! Out of all the behaviors, I think the one that's by far the most offensive are those foul creatures who clip their nails (especially when they're clipping their toenails).

YouTube envy: Video sharing site Veoh can't even get sued for enabling copyright violators. Viacom, who slapped a multi-million dollar lawsuit against YouTube said "We allocate our resources based on where we think the most harm is being done ... We haven't focused on Veoh at this point." Oh snap.

QOTD: "Two hours passed and everyone's hair was messed up, lipsticks were ruined and I was so hungry I could have eaten the Penis Pasta in the other room out of the box." Violet Blue goes to a kissing class.

Expedia, when forced to actually implement its price-matching guarantee, tells a customer that his account will be cancelled if he actually uses the vouchers they offer
