The New York Times has a story today about a Twitter-bot named "Rep. Eliza Turing" who has a husband Harold ("Hal") Turing. Eliza tweets by conjoining sections of tweets from pro-Clinton sources with mixed results.
Giant Twitter image! http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/...congresswoman/ The anime RD Sennou Choshitsu ("Real Drive") paid tribute to ELIZA and her creator, computer scientist and philosopher Joseph Weizenbaum, by including a virtual character named "Eliza Weizenbaum."

Nice to see how deeply Hollywood cares about intellectual property
rights ........ Hollywood Agents Sharing Pirated Copies of CAA Book: "Hollywood agents and studio executives are too cheap to shell out $20 for a copy of “Powerhouse,” the new oral history of Creative Artists Agency that’s the talk of the entertainment industry. Instead, PDF copies of the 752-page tome have been circulating around Los Angeles and its environs, sources tell Variety. It’s an ironic move given that many of the same people enjoying the purloined copies of the book are vocally outraged about piracy … at least when it comes to movies and television."

Philippines president calls Barack Obama
'son of a whore': "The president of the Philippines has escalated his campaign of obscene abuse at perceived opponents, foreign and domestic, by calling Barack Obama a “son of a whore”. Rodrigo Duterte warned the US president to keep off the subject of extrajudicial killings in his country’s brutal drug war when they meet on Tuesday at a regional summit in Laos, telling a press conference that Obama “must be respectful”."

Shopping Mall Ad Mix-Up “Showcased An H-Doujin!”:
"A Ukranian shopping mall has recently come under fire from ostensibly upset visitors due the store’s advertisement-bearing plasma screens being altered to display an appalling H-doujinshi that has been assumed to be the work of a prankster who managed to hijack the system."

You know what's even worse about what he's doing? He's helping people associate political will with being an utter scumbag, and this will have heavy repercussions on the next election or when the Prez gets the boot.

Pretty much. They say they wanted change, but they refuse to change themselves. Discipline is still on a low, and corruption still exists in other forms like red tape and using the national budget to force alliances.
I'm just patiently waiting for the moment where Do Dirty's actions are actually acted upon.

Watching the actual news item he doesn't actually call Obama as such. The term "putang ina" is more of a colloquial term to denote frustration in the Filipino context and not necessarily directed to the person in question. You kind of need to live here to know what it means. I personally use it but I'm not calling anyone a son of a whore.
Duterte supporters and detractors of course are going to have a field day with this.

It's more disconcerting how a mass electorate can in this current day...can vote someone into power solely on the premise of mass butchering others as an easy solution....and still support it even when it's clearly getting out of hand
