Good Morning America: Poking us in the Anime Eyes




Yesterday I was saw something I thought at first was great, anime referenced and shown on Good Morning America. Of course that quickly turned to anger as GMA went on a pointless tirade on how circle lenses are dangerous and how this was all started by anime and Lady Gaga. The whole thing smelled of the typical mainstream negative news bashing and scapegoating of things that are completely foreign to the mainstream and that of the brain-dead teleprompted news anchors reporting it.

Watching that news report gave me the same feeling you get when your parents drop in on you on facebook and they start complaining about the popups they clicked on after being on the internet for a total of 10 minutes in their life time. GMA was completely ignorant and clueless in what they were talking about. They even tried to point fingers at the famous otaku makeup artist and Lancome spokes person, Michelle Phan.

Now if Good Morning America would get off the backs of their advertisers, probably including 1-800 Contacts and contact lens companies that are scared by the growing trend of custom contacts; they'd give out the full picture that yes, circle lenses can ruin your eyes...but the same risk goes for EVERY contact lens! How much of the "breathing" contact lenses thrown at us in ABC commercials are FDA approved?! Don't get me started on all the prescription drug commercials with products that will have of a 90% chance of killing you in many various and colorful ways just to alleviate the sniffles 100% of people get from being outside in the middle of a flower field in the height of summer. This on a so-called "drug free" channel of course.

Know your facts and my fellow anime fans, do have caution when using those very expensive custom contact lenses. Make sure an actual eye doctor (not a scripted news broadcast one) checks if you have the eyes that can handle contact lenses, because if you can't wear circle lenses, drop the iPhone if you are about to call 1-800-Contacts since those will make you go as blind as a bat.

Click here to view GMA's angering post about this..and please, comment there how their advertisers put them up to not putting out the entire picture on contact lenses.

(it is cool to see anime , yet again, being the main fuel behind the fastest moving trends though)

AT&T's Weird (New) Network Flaw




Just when you thought AT&T's fast (to drop your call) 3G service wasn't buggy enough or if you live in New York city and were denied your purchase of the iPhone due to AT&T STILL not ready for iPhones 3 years later...you are going to love this little bug.  AP News & Yahoo are reporting that a new bug caused people to sign into other people's accounts via their cell phone.  No, they weren't trying to hack into somebody's twitter account and post another pathetic "DO NOT PAY for White Teeth!" tweet, they were simply trying to access their facebook account but instead found themselves on somebody else's account.  AT&T's 3G network...so "fast" it'll even knock you into somebody else's account (after 20 minutes of load time of course)

Obama to Cancel Bush's Stem Cell Ban

 
In yet another batch of great news to come from the recent election win of Barack Obama, it appears that Bush's old ban on stem cell research will finally be lifted.  More on it from CNN here.

This will of course upset the very white, very conservative and very angry part of this country that for all too long has had their cultist say in things.  I hate to come back from my lack of blog posts with such a bashing but it had to be said.  The conservative part of this country are just the western equivalent to the extremeist islamic terrorists of the mid-east, but mind you, like anywhere else, it's not the whole group of people. 

Listen, I'm not for abortion and really neither are the scientific groups involved in stem-cell research but we have to grow up as a nation and see a blessing in science when its right there in front of us.  The cure for cancer and many other illnesses is staring us in the face but because of dark-ages old thought, it has been prevented. Abortion is wrong in my opinion if the sex that lead to the conception was a mutual agreement, if the pregnancy is far too late in progression, or if the pregnancy doesn't endanger the mother.  I'll leave it at that and hopefully the amount of hate mail below won't be so much, but what can I do; there are still people in this modern age who believe in talking snakes, who are stubborn as mules, and who will cut their nose off despite their face.  Remember, umbilical cords also have stem cells and if we don't act quickly in this research, many more people will be living needlessly short lives because some 2000+ year old cult wanted them to supposedly meet their maker sooner then later.
