We put together a list of resources for you to watch live online streams of the presidential debate.
Some people don’t have television and still want to watch a live version of the debates on the internet. These were not easy to find people. If you have more resources, let us know in the comments and we’ll add them to the list. The debates always start at 9PM EST!
The list…

It’s come to my attention recently that the discussions on our fair board, particularly those of a frivolous yet mindlessly entertaining nature, are somewhat hard to break into. In fact, I’ve tested out a few aliai (yes, aliai, i made it up) in the past few weeks and found being a newbie somewhat boring, as all the jokes are extremely “inside” and hardly anybody takes the time to explain things. At best, you’ll get a link to an obscure, context-less archived post, which usually serves only to make things slightly more confusing.
But I’m not here to lecture anybody. I’m here to BE that archive to which we refer people. At the risk of making this site even more self-referential, I propose that we open this up to new people (there are 1400 readers today, ahem) to throw their proverbial hats into the internet. We’ll do it like this: I’ll make several broad, sweeping generalizations about cVillain and some of our favorite people, and then you all can jump in and talk about whatever it is… you DO here. I got all dolled up and used capital letters for this post, so help me out. Chime in with your own thoughts on cVillain, and let’s see if we can drag some new friends out of the tubework.

Woman Sues Victoria Secret for “Thong Injuries”
Apparently this metal thong clip flew off and hit this woman in the eye and now she is suing Victoria’s Secret, saying that it caused her “excruciating pain.”
Internet Addiction is Finally a “Clinical Disorder”
It’s about time that people recognized awesomeness, officially. I’m sure this doesn’t apply to anyone on cVillain. You have four symptoms (and the officially recognized cVillain addiction sub-disease) if you have this disorder:

Craig had a great idea the other day, about creating short bio’s for all of our writers. He pointed out that when it was just Thor and Lilith you pretty much knew what you were getting, but nowadays you really have no idea who or what lies behind the name. Is cocoNUT really the foodie he claims to be, or is he in fact salting your fries at McDonald’s? Or both? How about Gobbler and Stanley? Are they and I really enemies, or do we manufacture the drama and insults just to milk pageviews? (A: we are mortal enemies).
Some authors like it anonymous (which is fine, welcome to the internet, etc) but I’m going to submit a request: If you consider yourself a writer for this site and would like to have a bio (fake or otherwise), then send me something and we’ll build a page for author info. Try to keep it to about 75-100 words (American), and go crazy. Make it as serious or as ridiculous as you want. Now you can finally tell your mom that you’re famous!

Amazon has just caught my eye. Here I thought this dull drum internet company only sold books and music. I was so wrong, welcome to the internet!
Here is a list of some of the off the wall crap Amazon sells:

We recently received a grant from the Virginia Humanities Coalition for the Education of Internet Safety and Public Awareness Campaign of Sovereign Power. We wanted to share that presentation with you. It will be required reading in Virginia schools. It’s after the break:

Virginia is the first state to require internet safety lessons. I need to take the classes.
You would think I am making this up, but this is totally true. A recent AP story explains:
On a screen at the front of a classroom, Gene Fishel flashed an online social-networking profile of “hotlilflgirl,” which said she was 15, enjoys being around boys and wants to meet new people.
The next image revealed the real “hotlilflgirl”—a mug shot of a 31- year-old man who was convicted of sexually abusing 11 children he met online and was sentenced to 45 years in prison.
“Not little, not fly and not a girl,” said Fishel, a Virginia assistant attorney general. He warned his audience about the dangers of sharing personal information on the Internet and agreeing to meet Web acquaintances in person.
Fishel’s presentation at James River High School recently was one of many being held this school year in the state, the first to mandate that public schools offer Internet safety classes for all grade levels.
Nationally, Texas and Illinois are among states that have since passed their own Internet safety education laws, but unlike Virginia they don’t make the courses mandatory.
Now, time to make an internet safety presentation. Check back tomorrow! Official presentations here.

Charlottesville has its own little internet star! As Thor, stated in his, “Future Internet Stars in Charlottesville”, we have a new Cville site. VibeAgent is not just for us locals, but for EVERYONE (Cville impaired and all). I recently used the site to book a room and had nothing but success! The site did just as promised and got me a great deal on a hotel room, and had a review on the hotel. Man, I love it when I can go local! Try it. I promise it won’t bite.

[written by Shenanigans]
A co-worker just told me about this new website www.spokeo.com that lets you “find your friends’ blogs and photos that you never knew about, guaranteed”…
WTF?! And the worst of it is, you sign up with your email address and it imports every single contact (which in gmail is every schlepp who’s ever sent you an email) and tells you each and every thing they have done on Facebook, Myspace, Flikr, Pandora, etc.
I tried it out and sure enough, the stalking began. I now know that Lys just updated her myspace photo, Caroline was looking at baby books on Amazon, Parlie added the Avett Brothers to his Pandora radio and that there is a cVillain myspace.
I didn’t really need to know all that. This website is definitely going to be used for the wrong purposes and I for one am totally creeped out. Gotta go delete some stuff now….
