Seriously, someone thought this was a bright idea???
In general, I think various parties, minorities, gays, lesbians, the right, the left, all have their panties in a twist are way too touchy about being offended...but this is pretty stupid.

Frat suspended over 'Hood' party - Yahoo! News

BALTIMORE - Johns Hopkins University has suspended the Sigma Chi fraternity because of a "Halloween in the Hood" party that drew protests by black students. ADVERTISEMENT The invitation to the party, posted on the Web site Facebook, encouraged guests to wear "regional clothing from our locale" with jewelry including "bling bling ice ice, grills" and "hoochie hoops."

This has to constitute a new low of some kind.  Gee...if you had a debilitating disease and certain politicians stood in the way of the most promising avenue of research, do you think you would do whatever you could to help their opponent?  If not for you, then your children?  We're talking about using stem cells that would otherwise be discarded, you ignorant, self-righteous, hypocritical assholes.

Actor Fox sparks debate, support for stem cells - Yahoo! News

"All I'm saying is I've never seen him the way he appears in this commercial for Claire McCaskill," Limbaugh said on his syndicated radio show. "I will apologize to Michael J. Fox, if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act."

Teen questioned for online Bush threats - Yahoo! News

Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson vented her frustrations with President Bush last spring on her Web page on MySpace.com. She posted a picture of the president, scrawled "Kill Bush" across the top and drew a dagger stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page on the social-networking site after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.

WTF.
Seriously.  At least it's nice to see someone so young actually give a shit about what's going on in the world.  I find it dificult to understand how anyone who is at least vaguely aware of what is going on in the world isn't angry.  Not just angry, but downright furious.

And btw, to the wonderful agents who did the questioning, I'm guessing the agression during the interrogation was the result of having to question someone that looks so threatening...assholes.

Next Generation - Interactive Entertainment Today, Video Game and Industry News - ANALYSIS: How Much is Too Much?

Still, he explained his uncertainty. “Remember that Microsoft partly entered the game console business for defensive reasons,” Rosoff said. “The company was concerned that a PlayStation successor would become the default gateway to networked entertainment in the home—Ken Kutaragi promised as much—and cut into consumer PC sales.”

What an interesting concept.  Thought of these terms, and in terms of the declining respect that Sony seems to be giving the average consumer, one can only hope they're in it for the long haul.

Go figure. Leave it to one of the most backwards nations on the face of the planet to spend almost every penny they have developing a way to destroy us all.
