Mon “NON” est personne
M. nous rappelle, que nous n’avons aucune raison de nous inquiéter : [Personne|http://mlemaudit.blogs.com/melismes/2007/04/dmentis.html|fr], et surtout pas S.a.r.k.o.z.y., notre candidat préféré à l’élection présidentielle, n’a exercé de pressions sur personne.

AdBusters
How cool is that : IllegalSigns.ca is tracking Toronto’s outdoor advertising industry, fighting illegal billboards to reclaim the public space. According to the website, “half the billboards in Toronto are illegal”. [Via Insulaires].

Séro-criminel
Mon ami Coco, qui est un happy morning freak assumé m’a envoyé au réveil ce lien vers un article de Libération, Quand la contamination devient crime : «Plus de 36 pays en Europe ont modifié leur législation pour criminaliser la transmission du VIH à un partenaire.» Inquiétant et contre-productif pour les associations et l’Onusida.

Freedom of bigotry
Sometimes, something reminds me we really are in North America : Parents protest gay-friendly classes in B.C.: Thousands of British Columbians have signed petitions and sent letters to the Education Ministry insisting that parents be allowed to pull their children from public school lessons to avoid gay-friendly messages that conflict with religious or family values.

Vote for Web 2.0
If you’re tired of Facebook already (Well, I just joined, but that’s because I’m not a hype teenager anymore), you can still join My.Barack.Obama, the candidate’s for the US presidential election social network. I wonder if you can check “Whatever I can get” in the “Looking for” category too.
