Dancing Ban Comes back around

WTF!?! So modern America is again attacked by the conservative right for what now?… Cheerleading! Apparently the fact that women can dance and make “grinding moves” reminds (impressionable) men & women of sex. No shit? Cheerleading is now become too sexual and is (in their minds) leading to suggestive sexual behaviors or ultimately corrupting the youth.
(Read: Texas cheerleaders face a bump-and-grind ban).

I say Fuck off! This becomes another line item on the list of things that are bringing down our society and point to the behavior that people (and parents more specifically) would rather find blame in institutions or other people for not being able to raise thier own children in thier own conservative eye. Here’s a suggestion: if you don’t like the cheerleaders Don’t Look at them! or better yet sit your prude ass up in the nose bleeds – they all look like ants from there anyway!

Cheerleading and American Football go together like pizza and beer. It can’t be separated and now Texans want to regulate the dance moves of the cheerleaders… This might be ok for the Green Bay ladies on the field but Dallas is right there below the Raideretts.

I’m reminded of the 50’s when we were all going to hell (well at least the women were) for being “affected” by Elvis Presley’s hip gyrations. There are still instances where dancing is looked at as too sexual such as back in Palo Alto.

Jerry’s girls

Aside from a full half hour of the funniest nothingness on television, even today, Seinfeld’s attraction to the hottest models in NY is one aspect of the show that adds to the absurd: how a lanky Jewish kid from long island can move to Manhattan and enter into a revolving door of weekly models and eyecandy for gfs added to the comedy. Yes, I know this is a decade old, but here’s my list of top 5 if it was still the 90’s:

5: Kristin Davis – She plays Jenna in the Pothole episode where Jerry accidentally drops her toothbrush into the toilet and she unknowingly brushes her teeth with it immediately after – she’s fastidious!

ELAINE: (into phone) Yuh, I’d like an order of supreme flounder, number forty-seven. Yeah, apartment one-Q.
JERRY: One-Q? Whose apartment is that?
ELAINE: That’s the janitor closet, across the street.
JERRY: You’re pretending to live in a janitor’s closet, just to get this flounder?
ELAINE: It’s better than eating it alone in the restaurant, like some loser.

4. Kathleen McClellan – She plays Melissa in the The Apology – the nudist that is Good Naked and Bad:
GEORGE, [at Monk’s with JERRY]: “So she coughed.”
JERRY: “Coughing… naked… It’s a turn-off, man.”
GEORGE: “Everything goes with naked.”
JERRY: “When you cough, there are thousands of unseen muscles that suddenly spring into action. It’s like watching that fat guy catch a cannonball in his stomach in slow motion.”
GEORGE: “Oh, you spoiled, spoiled man. Do you now how much mental energy I expend just trying to picture women naked?”
JERRY: “But the thing you don’t realize is that there’s good naked and bad naked. Naked hair brushing, good; naked crouching, bad…”

3. Teri Hatcher – She’s Sidra in the Implant episode: Teri maybe one of the more famous actresses, thanks to taking off after this show as Lois Lane and in her Desperate Housewives jobs. I’m sure many would put her in her prime at the top spot for Jerry’s girls, but I’ve got different tastes.

JERRY: “Why would I be a leg man? I don’t need legs. I have legs.”

SIDRA: “I think you’re both mentally ill. And by the way…they’re real, and they’re spectacular.”

2. Dylan Tays (aka Danette Vlaco) – She played Nikki in the Calzone episode. This is an obscure name because she never had much of an acting career. In the episode: Just before his 42nd birthday, Jerry gets a girlfriend who can get whatever she wants. He eventually loses her to Todd Gac, the guy who goes on dates with women without actually dating them. Apparently her real name is Danette Vlaco and several sites have her moving up (and down) the brass poll as a stripper in the LA area. Gotta use the talents some way eh?

GEORGE: “Beautiful women . You know they could get away with murder . You never she any of them lift anything over three pounds . They get whatever they want whenever they want it . You can’t stop them.”
JERRY: “She’s like a beautiful Godzilla.”
GEORGE: “Without thousands of fleeing Japanese.”

1. Lori Loughlin – In the Serenity Now episode (, she plays Patty, the gf that gets Jerry to show his anger and emotional side. Life is good for this NYer (LongIsland) who married a designer and is aging well into late cougar territory.

LLOYD BRAUN: You should tell your dad that “serenity now” stuff doesn’t work. It just stores up all your anger and then, eventually, you blow.
GEORGE: But you were in a mental institution.
LLOYD BRAUN: What do you think put me there? Serenity now… insanity later.

Zombie Wars

Found this article about honeypots and zombie wars interesting:

Fake “zombie” computer spies are infiltrating zombie networks and recording online exchanges between the networks and their human commanders.

The fake zombies are deployed by members of the German Honeynet Project, which started collecting data on zombie armies in November 2004 and released the first paper detailing how to spy on zombie networks on Monday.

“With the help of honeynets we can observe the people who run botnets – a task that is difficult using other techniques,” says Thorsten Holz, a researcher at the RWTH-Aachen University, Germany, and founder of the German Honeynet Project.

Zombies are ordinary PCs infected with a piece of malicious code – known as a bot – that instructs the PC to secretly log onto an online chat room and obey the instructions issued by the chat room’s controller. The bot may have been deposited into the computer by a virus such as SoBig or MyDoom, downloaded from a bogus website or inserted by a hacker directly.

Holz’s fake zombies have enabled him to spy on over 100 different botnets, some comprised of up to 50,000 zombie computers – PCs under the control of hackers. But he has noticed a new trend towards groups of smaller botnets, all controlled by the same person. This is probably an attempt to make botnets more difficult to infiltrate by distributing their control over multiple servers
