the unseen perils of abstinence-only education

Police say a group of Connecticut teenagers misunderstood a woman’s screams during sex and stopped what they thought was an assault by beating the woman’s companion.

A girl, two boys and a 19-year-old man were arrested Tuesday and arraigned Wednesday on assault and conspiracy charges.

On June 6, police say the 16-year-old girl, who lives in the Torrington home, heard the 34-year-old woman’s screams and thought she was being attacked.

The girl rounded up four friends. Police say they went into the bedroom and beat the woman’s 25-year-old companion with a baseball bat and punched him. He was treated at a hospital and released.

Foster, meet Reed, who talked to his friend who valets bikes at Prospect Park shows (?!) and got this nugget:

me: on a scale of 1 to 10, what was your contempt level?
Larry: 10 being highest
me: yes
Larry: i stayed close to 4 most of the time, had moments of 7.  this interaction happened: i don’t really know how to describe it well online.  a dude with no shirt, whose shirt is tied around his neck, holding a tin cup that hobos have or something, came to get his bike.  he noted the beer i was drinking and asked for some in his hobo cup. i poured the rest of the beer in his cup.  he was overcome with joy that i would give him the rest of my beer.
me: “hobo cup”
Larry: haha   yes   i would describe the MGMT aesthetic as urban hobo hippy
me: once a dude is asking for beer out of your cup, he needs it more than you do

Yes, it is. If your mother says the Black Keys are gay…

Phil Collins & Philip Bailey - “Easy Lover”

The beginning of the second verse may be one of my favorite moments in pop music.

DESPITE??

PR agency Text 100 surveyed 449 bloggers from 21 countries concerning blogging habits and the desired ways of interaction of bloggers with PR people, and found that while the majority of the bloggers surveyed welcome contacts by PR people, the latter should treat bloggers not as journalists, but rather as influencers.

Translation: “We want the good free shit.”
