Creating a need, and filling it
I regularly toss links to Boing Boing, but I seem to have lost touch with the Boing Boing zeitgeist somewhere along the way... they've only run one of the last 20 or so links I suggested, the Evil Clown Face Generator I pinched from Eclectica. Occasionally, I suggest a link to New World Disorder. And I often toss links Vegan Porn's way. Like this one on, um, possum fur nipple warmers.
Possum fur nipple warmers are new, fun, and functional. [...] For luxury in nipple warmers you shouldn't go past possum fur.
Introduced into New Zealand about 150 years ago from Australia, the brushtail possum has multiplied now to over 70,000,000. With no predators, this pest has decimated huge tracts of New Zealand native forests eating 21,000 tons of vegetation nightly.
[...] All controls used in the past have had minimum impact. Poisoning of possums is an environmentally unacceptable way of control. Only through world wide marketing of possum fur products (Eco-fur products) can this pest be safely controlled.
One of the nice things about sharing links is others' takes. Quoth Herman in the Vegan Porn entry:
I owe Zed a beer, but then again, he just made mine shoot through my nose, so maybe we're even. [Quote from article] Uh-huh. Flagged as juvenile in anticipation of the comments. Make me proud.
