Minnesota State Rep. Pat Garofalo (R) opined Sunday evening on the potential impact of condensing the National Basketball Association:
Let's be honest, 70% of teams in NBA could fold tomorrow + nobody would notice a difference w/ possible exception of increase in streetcrime
— Rep. Pat Garofalo (@PatGarofalo) March 9, 2014
Garofalo later clarified to the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he was "talking about [the] NBA's high arrest rate and that they are the only major pro league that testing positive for marijuana is not a substance abuse violation."
However, the NBA's arrest rate isn't too far off from that of the public as a whole. (Deadspin estimated it to actually be lower than the national average.) And citing a lax marijuana testing policy to support a claim about street crime is an illogical leap stemming from the same sort of mentality that ascribes the word "thugs" to brash athletes. As Richard Sherman aptly put it when people freaked out about his post-game rant in the NFL playoffs, thug is "an accepted way of calling somebody the N-word." Jon Terbush
Actor Will Ferrell has reportedly nixed plans to play Ronald Reagan in a comedy about the late president's dementia, just days after it was announced he had signed on to star. Ferrell's spokesperson now says he was never officially attached to the project. "While it is by no means an 'Alzheimers comedy,' as has been suggested, Mr. Ferrell is not pursuing this project," his spokesperson said.
Shortly after news of the film broke, Reagan's daughter Patti Davis penned an open letter expressing her disappointment. "Perhaps if you knew more," Davis wrote, "you would not find the subject humorous." Becca Stanek
A lot can change in eight years — as Carly Fiorina knows. While the former Hewlett-Packcard CEO is now Ted Cruz's vice presidential candidate, Fiorina actually sung Hillary Clinton's praises back in 2008. While on the campaign trail for Republican presidential nominee John McCain, Fiorina described Clinton as "incredibly intelligent, focused, tough, determined."
"As a woman, I take great pride in the fact that Hillary Clinton ran for president," Fiorina said.
Fiorina added that "bold women, women in power are characterized, scrutinized differently than their male counterparts are." Fiorina has since joined the chorus of conservative voices who have accused Clinton of "playing the woman card," saying that "Hillary Clinton, first of all, calls everybody a sexist and that's not a fair game."
A representative for Fiorina clarified to CNN that the vice presidential candidate "thinks Hillary Clinton is smart and hardworking, but she also believes she is profoundly misguided on the important issues facing this country."
Watch the surprisingly different tone Fiorina had less than a decade ago, below. Jeva Lange

The White House decided to mix things up at its daily press briefing Friday by having a fictional character step into Press Secretary Josh Earnest's role. Yes, seriously.
Allison Janney, who played the whip-smart press secretary C.J. Cregg on The West Wing, took over the podium while Earnest was supposedly out of commission for a root canal.
"But let's be honest," Janney said, "I'm better at this anyway."
Watch Janney's briefing, which — spoiler alert — Earnest eventually crashes, below. Becca Stanek

Your friend is getting married. Hooray! Now pay up.
On average, millennials spend nearly $900 for every wedding they attend as a guest, according to numbers crunched by American Express this week. In comparison, the average American wedding guest spends 27 percent less, around $703 per wedding. That number accounts for an average of $205 spent on airfare, $166 on attire, and $69 on child or pet care.
Millennials, though, break the bank by spending on average $893 per wedding or, if they're a part of the wedding party, $928. Wedding gifts don't come cheap, either. When purchasing gifts for family members, Americans spend an average of $127, or $99 on friends.
Better start saving up — wedding season hits its peak in June. Jeva Lange
The Pentagon announced Friday that it has punished 16 American military personnel, including a two-star general, for the deadly strike on a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan last year that killed 42. Because the Pentagon determined the attack was not intentional, but rather the fault of human error, fatigue, and technical errors, those punished will not face criminal charges. Instead, the punishments will be "administrative actions" only, including suspension, removal from command, and letters of reprimand.
The attack occurred after crew members reportedly mistook the hospital for a Taliban-controlled building about a quarter of a mile away. Becca Stanek
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the Republican presidential race during a Friday appearance on a conservative talk radio show. "I'm not against anyone, but I will be voting for Ted Cruz," Pence said, though he first went out of his way to commend Donald Trump for giving a voice to "the frustration of millions of Americans."
Pence's endorsement comes just four days ahead of Indiana's Tuesday primary, which is critical for Cruz to win if he wants to prevent frontrunner Donald Trump from locking up the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination. Becca Stanek
With her sights set on the general election, Hillary Clinton sent out a series of Snapchat attacks on Donald Trump on Thursday, using the app's face-swap feature to overlay Trump's orange visage with the features of presidents past.
I am here for @HillaryClinton's amazing Donald Trump faceswap snapchat story pic.twitter.com/HRnO3TGojj
— Emma Grundhauser (@emgrundy) April 29, 2016
As Politico explains — and it seems like some explanation might be needed, given the nature of Clinton's references and the age of the average Snapchat user — each one pairs a relevant president with a comment or policy of Trump's which Clinton wanted to critique. These combos range from the obvious (Lincoln plus Trump's KKK gaffe) to the more obscure (the first President Bush, who signed the Americans with Disabilities Act, plus Trump's mocking of a disabled reporter).

In Europe, mobile messaging has integrated with marketing communications for several reasons. First among them is the fact mobiles are now fairly ubiquitous. By the end of last year, 75 percent of Europeans carried mobile devices, theoretically enabling marketers to access anyone, anywhere, at anytime.
Second, packet-based, multimedia-enabled devices encourage consumers to do a lot more with their handsets than simple voice communications. Just look at the rapid growth of SMS. Finally, in 2002 European network operators agreed to create cross-network-compatible five-digit numbers as shortcodes to access common messaging platforms. This greatly facilitated introducing a mobile response mechanic into campaigns.
Though these factors allowed mobile marketing to really take off in Europe, a number of barriers inhibit U.S. activity, particularly network interconnectivity and low SMS adoption. As these issues are addressed and U.S. consumers realize SMS's potential, it won't be long before this marketplace outpaces Europe's.
If you're embarking on mobile marketing, first consider incorporating textback shortcodes into marketing activities. This direct-response channel offers a simple, effective, and comparatively cheap way to initiate a consumer-led mobile dialogue. It's also a low-risk alternative to renting mobile lists from third parties.
Textback response helps establish a permission-based mobile database for future communications. It can also generate revenue through premium rate tariffs, often used to counter activity costs and create self-liquidating campaigns. Moreover, it can help build brand and increase sales.
Providing a textback number option on packaging or in advertising media enables consumers to immediately interact with, and get feedback from, a promotional message. It's convenient and easy to use and can provide instant gratification.
Elektra Entertainment Group was behind one of the first U.S. examples of this technique when it promoted Missy Elliot's album, "Under Construction." A billboard encouraged viewers to text "Missy" to 80808 for a chance to win $1 million; 115,000 viewers responded. The campaign was handled by a small London-based mobile firm, not13, one of many U.K. mobile marketing firms breaking into the potentially lucrative U.S. market.
Media owners can use shortcode textback for content interaction. TV programs such as "Pop Idol" have used the method to provide voting capabilities through mobile handsets. Consumer brands can use textback response on packaging to encourage participation in sales promotion competitions.
Cadbury launched an SMS-based package promotion on 65 million chocolate bars to drive sales, enhance brand awareness among a young audience, and gather intelligence about chocolate-eating behavior. The campaign generated 5 million messages, an almost 8 percent response rate (comparing favorably with email and direct mail).
Shortcodes can generate high response rates and mobile consumer information, making them an appealing direct-response channel. Consider incorporating shortcodes into your long-term offline media strategy to complement other direct-response channels, such as call centers and Web sites.
To maximize response rates, offer a value exchange (prizes, money-off coupons, credits, content) that's relevant and appealing to the target audience. Cadbury, for example, offered chances to win cash, widescreen TVs, Sony PlayStation 2s, DVD players, Palm Pilots, and CDs.
Once consumer interaction is initiated and permission granted for future correspondence, the nature of mobile communications will depend on marketers' objectives and the nature of their products or services. To drive increased conversion, carefully target mobile messaging based on audience characteristics. Pay particular attention to timing and frequency of messages, valuable content, and call to action.

More than 100 people rallied outside Killarney Community Centre on Saturday to protest the Vancouver Parks Board attempt to "evict" volunteer community centre associations.
A group of six associations from the Hastings, Riley Park - Hillcrest, Killarney, Kensington, Kerrisdale, and Sunset community centres sued the parks board in late August, alleging the city had violated a decadesold operating agreement and is seeking to seize control and cash by centralizing administration of the community centres. The city responded by attempting to terminate relations with the six associations by the end of 2013.
Spokespeople from the six associations have labelled the city's actions as a "hostile takeover" and effort to "evict" volunteers who have put time, money and local representation into the community centres.
"This eviction is wrong, that's what our community is standing up to say," Ainslie Kwan, president of the Killarney Community Centre association, said in an interview after the rally.
Attendees were mostly from the Killarney community, with some members of the other six associations attending as well, Kwan said.
"We've been in Killarney Community Centre since 1963," Kwan said.
"This is a grassroots community of people that are saying the services they have today are in jeopardy if the park board continues to try to take over."
Kwan said the six associations are encouraged that after an interim court appearance this week, termination plans will not be allowed to proceed before the B.C. Supreme Court hears the full lawsuit brought against the Parks Board, according to her understanding.
The next scheduled court date in the battle for control of the six community centres is Nov. 18.
And in the meantime, "it's business as usual," Kwan said. She said the associations continue to administer programs and attract members.
The city is not commenting while the matter is before the court.

Simpson's flip lifts Bengals' spirits
Jerome Simpson's heels-over-head touchdown still has the Bengals flipped out.
The fourth-year receiver pulled off the defining play of his career on Saturday, vaulting over an Arizona linebacker and landing on his feet in the end zone during a 23-16 victory. Teammates were awed by the way he stuck the landing and raised both arms like a triumphant gymnast.
His coach? Not so thrilled.
Marvin Lewis said Monday that Simpson could have taken a much easier and less risky route to the end zone. A bad landing could have left Cincinnati (9-6) in a bad way heading into a make-or-break game.
"You just have to be careful," Lewis said. "There's other ways to score. It's him and a linebacker, so just cut back and score the easy way. For effect, it sure was big."
The play helped the Bengals build a 23-0 lead. They barely held on, securing only their third winning record in the last 21 years. A win on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium over Baltimore (11-4) would clinch the final AFC wild-card berth.
Players got the day off on Monday, required only to come in and lift weights at some point. Video monitors mounted on walls around the locker room flashed a slideshow of the weekly schedule, along with inspirational sayings.
A photo of Simpson with arms raised in the end zone flashed on the monitors Monday with the inscription: "Make The Tough Plays."
Simpson made the most fantastic one.
He got open, caught a pass and headed down the left sideline on a 19-yard play. When he reached the 2-yard line, he saw linebacker Daryl Washington headed for him, shoulder down to deliver a hit.
Instead of trying to avoid him, Simpson left his feet and tucked his head to somersault over the linebacker. Simpson landed on both feet simultaneously, crouched with the ball in his right hand. He put his left hand on the ground briefly to steady himself, then stood up and raised both arms in celebration.
The crowd of 41,273 gave its loudest ovation of the day. It got even louder when the move was replayed on the video board several times.
"To tell you the truth, it was just instinct," Simpson said. "I just saw the guy. It seemed like he was going to hit me, and I didn't want to get hit. I used my athletic ability and my jumping ability.
"I've jumped over a guy before, but never did a flip and landed it."
Romo's hand improving
The swelling is going down on Tony Romo's bruised throwing hand, and the Dallas Cowboys quarterback could be ready to practice Wednesday.
Coach Jason Garrett says it looks as if Romo is getting better and that a number of different tests have confirmed the original diagnosis of nothing being broken in the quarterback's right hand.
Asked Monday if Romo can grip a football, Garrett responded that the quarterback has a relatively firm handshake.
All indications are that Romo isn't in danger of missing Sunday night's game at the New York Giants that will determine who wins the NFC East and goes to the playoffs.
Cutler to lose pins
Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith says quarterback Jay Cutler will have pins removed from his surgically repaired right thumb today.
Cutler has not played since a win over the San Diego Chargers on Nov. 20, when he broke his thumb trying to help make a tackle following a late interception. The Bears (7-8) have since unraveled with five straight losses.
Peterson eyes 2012 return
The Minnesota Vikings expect star running back Adrian Peterson to be recovered from left knee surgery for two torn ligaments in time to start the 2012 season.
Peterson tore his ACL and MCL when he was hit in the side of the knee by Washington Redskins safety DeJon Gomes in Saturday's 33-26 win at Washington. An MRI revealed the ligament tears and meniscus damage. Peterson will undergo surgery within the next seven to 10 days. He faces an eight-to-nine month recovery period.

Jordan Lynch powers No. 16 Northern Illinois over Toledo
TOLEDO, Ohio -- Backed up against the end zone on third down, Northern Illinois' Jordan Lynch had the defense right where he wanted.
He dropped back, waited until he spotted an opening and scrambled up the middle for a first down that sparked a 99-yard drive, clinching a 35-17 victory over Toledo on Wednesday night.
The No. 20 Huskies also secured a fourth consecutive trip to the Mid-American Conference title game.
Lynch, their do-it-all quarterback, said he never felt rattled, even with little room for error. That's because he said the Huskies practice those 99-yard drives.
"That's a momentum killer," he said. "It's a real dagger to the defense."
Lynch finished with three touchdowns -- all in the second half -- and 161 yards. The third score on a 1-yard dive came at the end of the Huskies' long drive in the fourth quarter.
He ran for 62 yards on seven carries during the drive, the big play coming when he scrambled out of the end zone to pick up a first down.
The Huskies (11-0, 7-0 MAC) extended their 24-game conference winning streak and are off to the best start in school history.
Lynch was 17-of-22 for 202 yards passing and ran for 161 yards on 28 carries. He is 23-2 as a starter.
Northern Illinois is still in the hunt for a second straight Bowl Championship Series appearance after playing in the Orange Bowl last season. The Huskies are 16th in this week's BCS rankings.
They need to keep winning and move ahead of Fresno State in the standings to keep their hopes alive.
Northern Illinois is the first MAC team to appear in four straight league championship games since Marshall did it six seasons in a row from 1997-2002. The Huskies have won the past two MAC titles.
The Huskies' offense sputtered in the first half without their two leading receivers, Tommylee Lewis and Da'Ron Brown, because of injuries. Lewis didn't dress for the game and Brown went out in the first quarter with an injured toe.
Toledo (7-4, 5-2) shut down Lynch too, holding him to just 30 yards on the ground in the first half.
But there was no panic.
Huskies coach Rod Carey said all he had to do was remind his team to finish their drives.
"That calmed the guys down," Carey said.
One guy he wasn't worried about being rattled was his quarterback.
"He's pretty decisive," Carey said. "When he's running and making plays, that's just him."
Lynch's second touchdown came when he faked a handoff and raced up the middle for a 31-yard touchdown, pulling the Huskies ahead for good at 21-17 with 6:15 left in the third quarter.
"He's always poised," said receiver Juwan Brescacin, who had eight receptions for 121 yards. "That's why we're as good as we are."
Lynch has thrown for at least 200 yards and run for 100 in the same game 11 times in his career. He moved into third place on the school's rushing list behind Garrett Wolfe and Michael Turner, both of whom went on to the NFL.
Terrance Owens threw two touchdown passes for Toledo.
Toledo's leading rusher, David Fluellen, started after missing the past two games with what the team has called a lower leg injury, but he was held to 54 yards on 15 carries -- far below his 133-yard average.
The Rockets led 10-7 at the half after Owens found a wide open Alonzo Russell along the right sideline for a 45-yard touchdown, putting Toledo ahead.
The Huskies drove 85 yards on the opening possession of the second half to take back the lead 14-10, scoring on a 12-yard run by Lynch, his first of the game.
Owens came back with a 36-yard touchdown to Bernard Reedy, who stretched out to make the catch in the back of the end zone, pulling the Rockets ahead 17-14 midway in the third quarter.

Quotes About Philosophic Reflection
Quotes tagged as "philosophic-reflection" (showing 1-2 of 2)
"Why love the boy in a March field with his kite braving the sky? Because our fingers burn with the hot string singeing our hands. Why love some girl viewed from a train bent to a country well? The tongue remembers iron water cool on some long lost noon. Why weep at strangers dead by the road? They resemble friends unseen in forty years. Why laugh when clowns are hot by pies? We taste custard we taste life. Why love the woman who is your wife? Her nose breathes the air of a world that I know; therefore I love that nose. Her ears hear music I might sing half the night through; therefore I love her ears. Her eyes delight in seasons of the land; and so I love those eyes. Her tongue knows quince, peach, chokeberry, mint and lime; I love to hear it speaking. Because her flesh knows heat, cold, affliction, I know fire, snow, and pain. Shared and once again shared experience. Billions of prickling textures. Cut one sense away, cut part of life away. Cut two senses; life halves itself on the instant. We love what we know, we love what we are. Common cause, common cause, common cause of mouth, eye, ear, tongue, hand, nose, flesh, heart, and soul."
― Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

The left rune represents
the first possible outcome
represents cattle the Norse symbol of wealth. This rune has some interesting implications based on the fact that cattle, unlike land, move about of their own accord. Cattle also reproduce, so this rune often speaks of wealth that renews or perpetuates itself. Wealth takes many forms, but this rune generally represents the value that is purely material or monetary in nature. Alternatively, this rune is deeply associated with Frey, and hence can be the harbinger of fertility and children.
The right rune represents
the second possible outcome
is frequently seen as a powerfully negative rune. You have drawn the rune reversed, which will lessen some of its effects. Generally Nyd represents loss, sorrow, and a hard journey with lessons learned. Nyd reversed here might be cautioning that the lessons might go unheeded representing repeated mistakes. The rune here might also be representing a minor loss or a nearly avoided catastrophe. Be careful, things are tricky and require strong attentiveness.
The bottom rune represents
the critical factor
that determines what will come to pass.
is the symbol of the warrior. This rune most represents masculine force and potency, and frequently victory in battle. Beware though, for this rune represents directly the Norse god whose name it bears - Tyr stands out in legend for having sacrificed his hand that he might bind Fenrir, a monstrous wolf that threatens to swallow the world. As such, this rune is known to portend a great victory that can be bought with a terrible sacrifice. Tyr is also the god of law, frequently placed in such position above Odin. In this aspect, protection of justice may be had by this rune.

Mix: Apple CFO, Google, (PRODUCT) RED, TiVo/Unbox
Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference yesterday, Apple chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer discussed the Apple TV and iPhone, as well as Apple's retail plans.
Google CEO and Apple board member Eric Schmidt said Monday that Google and Apple are working together on "many more" new projects, which he did not identify. Schmidt said Google and Apple are "doing more and more things together. We have similar goals, similar competitors."
(PRODUCT) RED items such as the special edition iPod nano have raised only $18 million worldwide for the HIV/AIDS charity. "The disproportionate ratio between the marketing outlay and the money raised is drawing concern among nonprofit watchdogs, cause-marketing experts and even executives in the ad business," reports AdAge.
TiVo today announced that the Amazon Unbox movie service is now available to TiVo subscribers. The service enables TiVo users to download TV shows and movies from the Unbox store and watch them on their TV.

And please don't yell in bright red that you're doing it.

People BUY because they're generally self-serving, not philanthropic. And considering how trifling the percentage of each sale actually went to the (Product) Red cause, why should anyone really be surprised by the results?
But spending $100 million to make $18 million…sure this campaign wasn't run by a movie studio?

I plan to buy the Nano Product (RED) 8GB simply because I like the color over the regular black product… I want to update my wife's iPod Mini, and I don't have any good reason to buy a 4GB Nano, whatever color it is…

(Red) is only available in the UK and US right? If they rollout these products worldwide, i'm pretty sure they'd break even. anyways, here in Singapore, the Red ipod nano is only available online. Most kids who buy ipods don't have a credit card. Online-no credit card hmmm. Go figure.

This proves my point. If the 'sponsors' of the world would just donate frickin money to the cause—instead of trying to get us common folk to squeeze out just a little more—these different causes would raise a lot more money.
I knew this was a joke when I heard about it. Escecially considering promotions alone has exceeded $100 million.

Megachuch pastor Joel Osteen dodges CNN questions on homosexuality
September 27, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Texas Megachurch Pastor Joel Osteen squirmed under a barrage of question about his beliefs on homosexuality during a discussion on CNN's "Talking points with Soledad O'Brien" last Thursday.
The conversation began as a discussion between Osteen and New Age self-help guru Deepak Chopra about the importance of positive thinking, but then abruptly turned to homosexuality.
"Almost every time we have a pastor on, it's a conversation we have," CNN host O'Brien explained to Osteen.
"I always wonder when you say homosexuality is a sin and there's a bunch of people who clearly are gay who are in your church," she continued. "You're calling them sinners. I mean, that is the opposite of uplifting, I would think."
"Well, Soledad, I don't necessarily focus on that. I only talk about that in the interviews," Osteen replied.
Click "like" if you want to defend true marriage.
When asked if he thought he had an important voice to lend to the public debate about homosexuality, Osteen answered, "I think part of my, if you want to call it success, I've stayed in my lane and my lane is lifting people's spirits and there are issues that good, Bible-believing people see on both sides of the fence."
However, when O'Brien suggested point blank that Osteen would say Scripture condemns homosexuality as a sin, Osteen responded, "exactly."
"When I read the scripture, that's what I believe, that the scripture condemns it or says it's a sin," Osteen said. "It also says, you know, lying it and being prideful is."
Osteen was then asked by panelist and gay rights activist Richard Socarides whether he had chosen to be heterosexual. Osteen replied that he had not, adding, "I don't understand all those issues and so, you know, I try to stick on the issues that I do understand. I know this. I'm for everybody. I'm not for pushing people down."
Osteen's performance earned him the ire of Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, who wrote that while O'Brien had "established the perfect platform for Osteen to respond with the gospel of Jesus Christ," Osteen "did not."
"Viewers of CNN saw a display of confusion, evasion, and equivocation coming from one presented as a Christian pastor," charged Mohler. "What they were really seeing is the total theological bankruptcy of the word of faith movement and the gospel of positive thinking.
"Osteen cannot, or at least will not, speak even the simplest word of biblical conviction. He states his intention to stay in his 'lane' of glib affirmation."

Please, enough with the cult of pop stars. Our kids need real heroes.
April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Two things happen each time a significant pop culture figure dies: Christians attempt to dredge up some moderately conservative or traditional thing that figure said at some point during his long career, and mainstream media attempts to convince a society thoroughly bored with such things that the person in question was a ground-breaking radical. The two most recent examples are the androgynous David Bowie—a cringe-worthy and possibly blasphemous video of him dropping to his knees during a rock performance and uttering the Lord's Prayer circulated just following his death--and the pop star Prince.
I've had to suppress my gag reflexes many times as I saw my Facebook newsfeed fill up with memes sporting quotes from Prince about his faith and articles announcing that the musician who "embraced gender fluidity before his time," according to Slate and "will always be a gay icon" according to The Atlantic, was against gay marriage. Sure, maybe he was. But only a Christian community so shell-shocked by the rapid spread of the rainbow blitzkrieg and the catastrophic erosion of religious liberty would find this remarkable. After all, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton said the same thing barely one election cycle ago. As one obituary celebrating Prince's paradigm-smashing sexual performances written by Dodai Stewart put it:
Dig, if you will, a picture: The year is 1980. Many states still have sodomy laws. The radio is playing feel-good ear candy like Captain and Tennille and KC and the Sunshine Band. TV hits include the sunny, toothy blond shows Three's Company and Happy Days. There's no real word for "gender non-conforming." But here's what you see: A man. Clearly a man. Hairy, mostly naked body…a satiny bikini bottom. But those eyes. Rimmed in black, like a fantasy belly dancer. The full, pouty lips of a pin-up girl. Long hair. A tiny, svelte thing. Ethnically ambiguous, radiating lust. What is this? A man. Clearly a man. No. Not just a man. A Prince.
Right. So let's not get too carried away, shall we? I know Christians are desperate to justify their addictions to the pop culture trash that did so much to sweep away Christian values in the first place and I know that latching on to the occasional stray conservative belief that may manifest itself in pop culture figures makes many feel as if perhaps we are not so weird and countercultural, but this bad habit we have of claiming these figures upon their passing is downright damaging.
After all, parents should be teaching their children about real heroes, titans of the faith who changed the world. Heroes of the early church who stood down tyrants, halted gladiatorial combat, and crusaded against injustice in a world where death was all the rage. These men and women were real rebels who stood for real values. If we want to point our children to people they should emulate, we should be handing them books like Seven Men: And the Secret of Their Greatness by the brilliant writer Eric Metaxas rather than the pop albums Purple Rain or Lovesexy by Prince. If parents spend their time glorifying the predecessors of Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus instead of highlighting heroes like William Wilberforce, they can hardly be surprised when their children choose to emulate the former rather than the latter.
The mainstream media's adulation of these pop stars is equally irritating. The unspoken truth of these obituaries is that the flamboyant antics of Prince and the rest of the so-called rebellious drag queens populating the rock n' roll scene have been mainstream for a long time already. Want to see dozens of bizarre body piercings? Weird hairdos? Purple mohawks? Dudes with nail polish? Strange tattoos? Easy. Just go onto any university campus, or any public high school without a dress code. With headphones wedged firmly in their ear canals, they can pump the cleverly commercialized "counterculture" straight into their skulls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
More than that, some of these courageous rebels have actually sued their employers to ensure that they can let their establishment-smashing freak flag fly at work, too. An Edmonton woman with 22 visible body piercings complained that her employer was unfair because apparently she was being discriminated against "based on body modifications." Yeah! The Man must be told, after all. And if he doesn't agree, we will lawyer up. I wonder what the shrieking rebels of the early days would think about the snivelling children of the current grievance culture.
So these days, the media's eulogizing about aging culture warriors who went mainstream a long time ago rings a bit hollow. After all, most rock n' roll stars these days look tame compared to what shows up in the children's section at Pride Week. Freaky is normal now. Normal is radical. Welcome to 2016.
When Christians are posting nostalgic tributes to the rebels who helped inoculate their children against the radical views of Christianity in the first place, you know that the victories of the counterculture are complete and Stockholm syndrome has set in.

Target boycott climbs to over 1 million
April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Over 1 million people have signed a pledge to boycott Target over its new policy allowing men to access women's bathrooms.
The American Family Association's Boycott Target petition gained traction immediately, reaching the one million mark in only nine days.
"Corporate America must stop bullying people who disagree with the radical left agenda to remake society into their progressive image," said AFA President Tim Wildmon. "#BoycottTarget has resonated with Americans. Target's harmful policy poses a danger to women and children; nearly everyone has a mother, wife, daughter or friend who is put in jeopardy by this policy. Predators and voyeurs would take advantage of the policy to prey on those who are vulnerable. And it's clear now that over one million customers agree."
Target defended its policy in a statement saying that it believes everyone "deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally" and earlier this week, a Target spokeswoman defended the policy as "inclusive."
The AFA said that unisex bathrooms are a common-sense alternative to allowing men unfettered access to women's bathrooms.
"Target should keep separate facilities for men and women, but for the trans community and for those who simply like using the bathroom alone, a single occupancy unisex option should be provided," the petition says.
The AFA warned that Target's new policy benefits sexual predators and poses a danger to women and children.
"With Target publicly boasting that men can enter women's bathrooms, where do you think predators are going to go?" the petition asked.
There have been numerous instances of predatory men accessing women's bathrooms and intimate facilities in the wake of "transgender" bathroom policies allowing them to do so.
"We want to make it very clear that AFA does not believe the transgender community poses this danger to the wider public," said Wildmon. "Rather, this misguided and reckless policy provides a possible gateway for predators who are out there."

Amazing new video captures the flash of light the moment life begins
CHICAGO, April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Life begins with a spark – literally.
Researchers at Northwestern University have documented the striking event in a new video that accompanies a study published this week.
At the moment of conception, the egg releases massive amounts of zinc, which creates a spark that can be seen with the aid of a microscope.
"It was remarkable," said Teresa Woodruff, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University's medical school. "To see the zinc radiate out in a burst from each human egg was breathtaking."
The research team had noted the zinc sparks before in mice eggs but had never observed the process in human beings.
"All of biology starts at the time of fertilization," Woodruff said, "yet we know next to nothing about the events that occur in the human."
One of the researchers, Northwestern chemistry professor Thomas O'Halloran, explained the science behind the process in 2014.
"The egg first has to stockpile zinc and then must release some of the zinc to successfully navigate maturation, fertilization and the start of embryogenesis," he said. "On cue, at the time of fertilization, we see the egg release thousands of packages, each dumping a million zinc atoms, and then it's quiet."
"Each egg has four or five of these periodic sparks," O'Halloran said. "It is beautiful to see, orchestrated much like a symphony."
Since the amount of zinc in an egg correlates with successful implantation and birth, the Northwestern researchers are highlighting that their research may be used to assist in vitro fertilization.
But that raises concerns given the grave moral issues with IVF, which involves creating numerous embryos that are either killed or frozen. Moral theologians also emphasize that IVF is an injustice even for the children who are born as a result, as they are created in a lab rather than in the union of man and woman.
The study may have far-reaching consequences the research team did not intend, such as strengthening public belief in the longstanding scientific consensus that life begins at the moment of conception/fertilization.
Many of those who saw the Northwestern video said it testifies to the beauty of life and the shallow lies that buttress the argument of abortion-on-demand.
"I saw this, and I was blown away by it," said Rush Limbaugh on his nationally syndicated radio program Thursday afternoon. "For anybody in the mainstream media to openly admit that life begins at conception" defies arguments that an unborn child is only "tissue mass."
Researchers released a separate video of the zinc spark taking place in a mammalian egg more than a year ago:
The paper, which is entitled "The Zinc Spark is an Inorganic Signature of Human Egg Activation," was published by Scientific Reports on April 26.

TOURIST arrivals for the month of January increased by 3 per cent this year, from 46,124 in January last year to 47,551 in January this year.
And according to government statistician Epeli Waqavonovono, visitors were from New Zealand, Australia, China, continental Europe and the United Kingdom.
He said New Zealand topped the list of visitors for January from 994 in 2013 to 5662 in January this year.
"Australia recorded a 3.8 per cent increase in visitor arrivals to Fiji while visitors from China increased by 43.3 per cent," he said.
Continental Europe recorded a 9.5 per cent increase in tourist numbers to Fiji while a 9.3 per cent increase was noted for the UK.
"Decreases in visitor numbers were recorded for South Korea, Japan, Pacific Island countries, the US and Canada.
"In the moving 12 monthly numbers ending January this year, the total number of visitors to Fiji increased by 0.4 per cent compared with the same period in 2013.
"Visitors from New Zealand increased by 3.8 per cent, UK (3.3 per cent), Australia (1.7 per cent), Japan and Pacific Islands with 0.6 per cent and Continental Europe (0.2 per cent)."
In the moving six monthly numbers ending January this year, he said, the number of visitors showed a 1.8 per cent decrease when compared with the corresponding period last year, down from 346,847 to 340,634.
Tourism Fiji Global Marketing director Ken Freer said they were very pleased with the January performance. "We do need to take into account the fact that in January 2012 a lot of properties were closed due to Tropical Cyclone Evan," he said.
Mr Freer said they were pleased with the 3 per cent increase and will comment today once they received the figures for January arrivals.
Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association president Dixon Seeto will also comment later today.
