Some of them would like to pretend they can get out of the game completely.
But no one can ever leave the game, because as soon as they think about The Game, they've lost.

Note that Julian Assange is on the list of "terrorist trading cards".

Julian Assange is not a terrorist in any way.  If the charges against him are true he's a rapist and has some stuff related to espionage but he clearly hasn't been performing violence to draw attention to a political cause.

Although I do hope that "graphic coloring novels" and the unironic use of the term "faces of evil" catch on.

Please tell me that's a joke.

I'm pretty sure that any 9/11 colouring book would be intended to be offensive.

Speaking of terrorists, Breivik has been sentenced to 21 years imprisonment or "forvaring". It's 10 years minimum but the sentence can be extended indefinitely if he's deemed too dangerous to release. People on the Net (and off it, I suppose), naturally, have missed this little bit and are "criticizing" the court for giving such a "short" sentence. Some are advocating a capital punishment even. It irks me how blind and/or barbaric some people are sometimes.

Agreed 100%. I doubt Breivik is ever getting out, and certainly not in less than 21 years.

"forvaring"

I love Norwegian.

For you not knowing Swedish, "förvaring" just means "storage" in our part of Europe's Conjoined Twin Penis(es).

Odd, I always looked at Finland as a third penile landmass.

And yeah, definitely a lot of "missing the point" going on in US coverage of this.

Does that make the Karelian Isthmus the 'taint' of Scandinavia?

I dunno, but Panama City is the taint of Florida.

Insomnia and nausea. I'd be raging, but, frankly, I'm too tired to give a shit at this point.
