Funny video showing John Lennon mock disabled leaves PC fans shocked
Die-hard Beatles fans have been left shocked and appalled after disturbing video of iconic frontman John Lennon imitating a disabled person emerged on UK television.
Airing on TV show It was Alright in the 60s, the clip shows Lennon interacting with the crowd between songs by making inaudible noises with his mouth and distorting his face using a gurning movement in his jaw.

Why aren't women allowed to be funny on dates?
According to a study published last month, which explored "humour's role in courtship", men who are funny are considered more attractive. But women? Not so much.
The leader of the study, Professor Jeffrey Hall, from the University of Kansas, told the Daily Mail, "Men use humour to gauge if women are interested in them… For some men it is a conscious strategy." Put simply, if a bloke wants to date a woman, he should make her laugh. But jokes made by a female actually damage her chances of landing a dude. So, witty ladies, please rest your pretty little mouths – that sort of thing is for men only.
The Huffington Post - understandably huffed about this outcome - pressed Hall on the issue and the good Prof obliged. "There are many people who would argue that there is something inherently sexist with the script," Hall said. "I would agree with that criticism inasmuch that it puts limits on women's behaviour and plays to stereotypes about how a man and a woman is supposed to be."
Indeed. I believe it was fictional (racist) heroine, Scarlett O'Hara, who opined "I'm tired of saying, 'How wonderful you are!' to fool men who haven't got one-half the sense I've got, and I'm tired of pretending I don't know anything so men can tell me things and feel important while they're doing it…"

Awww, how a woman's weight can cost her a job, awww...
There are two things that are weighed on flights: luggage and women.
Last year Air India put 600 'overweight' flight crew on notice. The affected cabin crew were given six months to lose weight. If they didn't, they were to be deemed unfit and assigned to ground duties.
Well time's up and according to BBC reports, 125 Air India flight attendants have been grounded for failing to achieve and/or maintain the specified weight requirements.
Not surprisingly, Air India is playing the concern-troll card, claiming its weight policing is all about fitness and health. But let's not forget that flight attendants are a predominantly female workforce. And in reality, Air India's weight policy has more to do with branding and the pervasive attitude that women need to be hot to be worthy.

'Steptember' may be a good cause. But it's also disempowering
For most Australians September marks the beginning of spring, while for a small muted minority it marks the beginning of something met with far less enthusiasm. Steptember (no, that's not a typo) is an annual charity that was conceived by the Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) several years ago.
It encourages healthy people to take on the challenge of walking 10,000 steps a day to raise money and awareness for cerebral palsy. The money goes towards equipment like wheelchairs and research into medical treatments. It encourages participants to sign up in teams, and not just walk – run, cycle, swim, water ski. The list is almost endless, there is however, one problem which the CPA seem to have overlooked. The very premise of Steptember excludes a large chunk of the people it claims to help.
Cerebral palsy is a brain injury, typically acquired during pregnancy or from complications at birth, it sometimes goes undiagnosed until early childhood. It results in lack of movement, impaired balance, poor posture and, in more severe cases has symptoms like epilepsy and vision impairment. One out of two people with cerebral palsy cannot walk, let alone water ski.

Experts Concerned We’ve Sent Sexist Messages to Space
We’re not doing enough to promote diversity to aliens.
During the British Science Festival, a group of experts pondered whether or not some of the images we have sent into space might be too sexist and too white — which would clearly be sending the wrong message to any aliens out there.
Yes, seriously.
Dr. Jill Stuart, considered an expert on the “politics” of space, expressed particular concern about a plaque on the 1972 Pioneer 10 spacecraft that featured a naked man and woman.
“The plaque shows a man raising his hand in a very manly fashion while a woman stands behind him, appearing all meek and submissive,” Stuart said, according to an article in the Guardian.
“We really need to rethink that with any messages we are sending out now. Attitudes have changed so much in just 40 years,” she continued.
Even worse: The man and the woman were both white. (Ewwwww!)
“I would be uncomfortable with sending out any images or messages that include Western-dominated material,” Stuart said.

VIDEO: Vegan protesters storm steakhouse, shout at customers
A group of vegans thought they would further their cause by storming a Toronto steakhouse, peppering a hostess with questions and shouting at customers.
Instead, even those on the left are ridiculing their tactics.
Several protesters from a group identified as “Direct Action Everywhere Toronto” by the Huffington Post entered The Keg Mansion steakhouse in Toronto, Canada. Video shows the lead agitator perusing a menu near the entrance of the restaurant.

Consumer groups call for overhaul of power market controls
Consumer groups have slammed a review of energy market regulation for not going far enough to protect the interests of consumers after steep rises in prices for gas and electricity which have resulted in rising numbers of disconnections.
"There is an urgent need to deregulate, consolidate and reduce complexity in order to enhance competition, especially given the transformation under way in Australian energy markets," Oliver Derum, policy officer with the Public Interest Advocacy Centre, said.
"These changes must be accompanied by enhanced consumer representation, as well as generally making the governance arrangements more democratic, transparent and accountable."
Separately, another consumer lobby group, Victoria's Consumer Action Law Centre, said the pace of change in national energy markets was running ahead of consumer protections.

One Tweet DESTROYS Both Anti-Gun And Pro-Abortion Arguments
It’s always hilarious (in a morbid way) how liberals constantly defend the baby butchers of Planned Parenthood, but they froth at the mouth whenever the NRA is mentioned (or even when they’re not and there’s some criminal nutjob who has an illegal firearm and kills people and then liberals want to blame the gun. Because – as we ALL know – gun owner = NRA. All the time. Totally). One thing that I do like about the #IStandWithPP Twitter avatar thing is that it makes it easy to identify the sickest pro-abortion liberals. Because when they talk smack about gun owners and the NRA, you wind up with BRILLIANT moments like this –
What’s the matter, Sarah? Can’t handle the honest truth? Personally, I’d rather join the NRA and fight to keep my right to defend myself and my family, than support Planned Parenthood and get encouragement to murder my own children.
