Devilman

Early, iconic Manga/Anime series by Go Nagai from the late 70's. The story is about Akira, a shy, somewhat spineless teenager who discovers a demon mask from ancient Mayan civilizations and becomes a demonic hero setting out to fight other demons.

Notable fans of the series include Glenn Danzig and Rob Zombie.

Devilman kicks serious ass! If your into anime like Elfen Lied and Hellsing then this series is for you.

Clear Channel Memorandum

A document distributed by Clear Channel communications to their radio stations following the 9/11 attacks, giving a list of songs that should not be played due to "questionable lyrics". Songs included were "Bodies" by Drowning Pool, "The End" by The Doors, "Rooster" by Alice in Chains, and the entire catalouge of songs by Rage Against the Machine. The list was really more a way for Clear Channel to continue pirating the airwaves by using a horrible tragedy as an excuse to not play songs they don't like. Unsuprisingly Clear Channel denied such a memo existed.

Listener: Yea I'd like to request "Brain Stew" by Green Day.

Radio DJ: Sorry but due to the Clear Channel Memorandum which doesn't exist we can't play that one. How about some nice, clean disco?

Listener: Goodbye forever (hangs up and goes to record stores and the internet for new music from now on)

yahoo!

Email service/search engine/news site (sort of) that does fairly good with the e-mail and search engine parts but is either passing some stupid story about a worthless celebrity either wearing something they consider weird off as news. When they do talk about real news, the comments section is always filled with republican nutjobs who have no idea what they're talking about.

I have a Yahoo! account. Good with emails, bad with everything else.

Youtube

The video sharing site that allows you to "broadcast yourself". Launched in 2005 and purchased by Google in 2006, the site was good until around late 2008/early 2009 when Youtube started acting more like a dictatorship, enforcing stupid copyright rules, forcing users to adapt to new designs and formats they don't want, eliminating user groups, and requiring users to sit through ads before letting them watch their video. If you are thinking of starting an account I urge you to reconsider. If you currently have an account, I would consider deleting it and not returning until Youtube agrees to return to the way things worked from around 2005-mid 2008.

Youtube has gone to hell since Google took over. They want to kick the everyday you and me users off the site and only allow popular people like Fred and Rebecca Black to post videos. To the YT heads, if you don't pay money, you aren't worth their time.

Bureau of Morality

A fictional organization from the alternate reality game to the Nine Inch Nails Album Year Zero. The purpose of the Bureau is to keep citizens in line and make sure they aren't doing anything they consider "un-american" such as expressing dissapointment with the government. Extreme punishments are handed down to people who do break their laws and use their voice.

Our schoolboard's really become the Bureau of Morality, it sucks!

Everyday is halloween

A song by legendary Industrial Metal act Ministry from 1984. Usually found only on compilation albums. The song was written in defense of the Goth subculture and criticizes making fun of people who are different. The song greatly represents Ministry's early synthpop style and was rarely performed in concert after the band became Industrial Metal.

Ministry fan A: Dude Ministry's a great band.

Ministry fan B: The only album you have by them is Psalm 69. Great album, but if you were a real fan you'd have a copy of the song Everyday is Halloween, you may not even believe it is Ministry.
