Remember the laptop-shooting dad from last week? Someone called CPS on him...

... and they said "nope, all clear."

But the cops got called on him....

... and they said "Thank you for being a good parent."

FACE!


Follow Up of the Day: Tommy Jordan, the former Marine who made waves last week with a video of himself putting his own laptop out of its misery, was visited by Child Protective Services officials as well as local police officers in the wake of his Internet stardom.

The Child Services agents reportedly interviewed the Stanly County, NC man and his daughter separately, but took no action. The police, however, did have something to say to Jordan: “Kudos.”

“I actually had a “thank you” from an entire detectives squad,” Jordan wrote in a Facebook post published over the weekend. “And another police officer is using it in a positive manner in his presentation for the school system. How’s about those apples? Didn’t expect THAT when you called the cops did you?”

Many people apparently called to ask Albermarle police what was being done about the angry dad, but were told there was nothing that could be done as Jordan lives outside city limits, and therefore outside police jurisdiction.

Speaking with Channel 9, a Stanly County Sheriff’s Office spox said Jordan broke no laws, and an investigation would not be launched.
 
But it really only makes me feel sorry for the people who think this needs to be done. What kind of life must you have lived to reach a point where you feel taking away a child's computer is child abuse?
The first comment I saw under the video was a lengthy rant about how the daughter's constitutionally guaranteed right to privacy had been violated. That commenter went on to assert that, had it been her laptop, she would have sued her father.

That comment speaks to the greater social problem as well.
 
Haha. Glad that dad got props, and CPS wasn't able to do anything. Wasn't the child's property, she couldn't have bought it as she is too young to work and I would guess wasn't getting an allowance big enough to buy a several hundred dollar laptop, so mom & dad paid for the comp and was their property and allowed the child to access it.

Now personally, since I don't have enough money to blow away a working computer, this wouldn't be a feasible means of punishment. But I have, in the past, taken away all electronics that my daughter had access to in the privacy of her room. For her, that was more than enough encouragement to to correct the undesired behavior.

I don't think he broke the law i just think he is an asshat. I wouldn't call the police I would have just told him he was an asshat. That's how I roll.
 
So I had a dream last night. It involved a guy that was a mix between SEAL and the Old Spice guy and the Hulk wanking one out on a sofa, screaming, until the Hulk shoots his load, and it goes on for so long, he literally washes away the house and himself in a river of his own spooge, complete with rapids.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Yeah these are the things you don't share.

You keep them hidden, deep in the darkest recesses of your twisted soul, until they manifest as very specific fetishes.

You are pitching it to us instead of Marvel?

If Starfleet Academy is so damn difficult to get into that they can only test 3 candidates at a time, then a) how do they get enough officers to staff those ships, and b) why do some of the officers act like such dumbasses? I mean, Wesley is supposed to be some supergenius, and the others who test with him include someone smart enough to have a strategy named after him.

Also, crew complement of 1014 according to Memory Alpha, yet the 5 highest ranking officers on board go out on away teams every time and do all the scientific analysis. What are the other 1000 people? Ballast?

This made me actually laugh out loud. You don't hear many jokes about ballast.
 
My new college algebra teacher does not inspire confidence. 20 minutes into the class, he attempted to teach us that the absolute value distance between -15 and -6 is 21.

Apparently, the vast majority of the ship's crew is holographic or something. That's why you can get back crew lost in battle without going to a starbase.
 
The dye job debuted in a game a couple of days ago. Unless 2k Sports managed to put out a Carlos Boozer hair update, I'm going to assume it's a shitty tv pic.

Hugh Laurie has a painted scalp in just about every episode of House. You can really see it when they get too close to the back of his head.

So anyways, I was sitting in my pyjamas brosing facebook when I get an urgent call from my father. He is at the waiting room of my litle sister's doctor, but they have been waiting for so long that he has to leave for some important stuff.

So I dress up fast, go there, the doctor sees her, we get back home...

...and as I was undressing to get into my pajamas again... I find this mess.

That's what you get for dressing up too fast!

People would probably think it's a fashion statment.

I'm hella psyched. Just set up our second router. FINALLY my work has decent internet! we are officially 8meg up and down. I know it doesn't sound like much to you folks at home, but it's a big step up from our old connection of 1.5 up and down.
