Today's Internets, Part I - "Been Public Enemy since you thought PE was gym, bitch."




"Liberia's education minister says she finds it hard to believe that not a single candidate passed this year's university admission exam. Nearly 25,000 school-leavers failed the test for admission to the University of Liberia, one of two state-run universities. The students lacked enthusiasm and did not have a basic grasp of English, a university official told the BBC...
University spokesman Momodu Getaweh told Focus on Africa that the university stood by its decision, and it would not be swayed by "emotion". "In English, the mechanics of the language, they didn't know anything about it. So the government has to do something," he said. "The war has ended 10 years ago now. We have to put that behind us and become realistic.""

"Liberia's main state-run university has agreed to admit 1,800 school-leavers who failed this year's admission exam, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf says. Ms Sirleaf told the BBC she had held talks with officials at the University of Liberia over the failure of every single candidate who took the exam. Nearly 25,000 school leavers failed the test, with officials saying they did not have a basic grasp of English."

I don't care if you're underage, but this made me laugh. 







By the internet reaction Miley Cyrus has single-handedly turned all of America into somebody's pearl clutching, vapor catching grandmother. In other news, Madonna wore underwear on the *outside* of her clothes, Elvis swiveled his hips in a way too sexually suggestive manner while the jazz music will make you all marijuana fiends... In the wise words of sage Miley - "Remember only God can judge ya, forget the haters 'cause somebody loves ya..."

Jon Lajoie Nails It Perfectly.

I'm a go Team Miley, just for not giving a fuck.
What Miley should be ashamed of is this: Miley Cyrus & Justin Bieber Made A Song Called ‘Twerk,’ Of Course - The Superficial - Because You're Ugly.  Beiber?  C'mon.  We can do better.



Pretty damn funny - "Wow, that's really good writing."



"There are any number of ways to look at the vote: as a reflection of the dim public support for yet another military engagement in the Middle East, a skepticism about following the United States into conflict and perhaps as a political failure by Cameron and his office. But one factor that surely played a tremendous role in the defeat are the ghosts of the Iraq war, which still linger in British politics."
"British lawmakers on Thursday delivered a stunning rejection of Prime Minister David Cameron’s bid to punish the government of Bashar al-Assad for allegedly using chemical weapons, citing skepticism over the misinformation used to back the Iraq war as a reason for staying out of Syria and raising the prospect that any U.S.-led strike would go ahead without its staunchest military ally. The move came as a severe blow both to Cameron — a Conservative Party hawk on Syria — and to U.S. hopes of securing a Britain as a cornerstone of a coalition. After an eight-hour debate, Cameron lost a vote that was seen as a symbolic, preliminary motion setting up a final vote in the days ahead. The failure of even the weaker piece of legislation, in a 285 to 272 vote, suggested that Cameron faces overwhelming opposition to the idea of Britain joining any strikes."


Dig that nasty, old school, Rick Rubin produced, Beastie Boys influenced, vibe.
