Manipulation of facts and the media (5 pics)

This advertising campaign is managed by the Brazilian media Sistema Jangadeiro that made these pictures with the slogan: It would be very easy to manipulate facts if it weren't for the media.
But in reality, it is precisely how the media distort the facts. I would say that it is rather advertising campaign fail ...
Look at the photos and their originals after the jump.

The latest is the announcement saying that the children of Michael Jackson and Deborah Rowe are not their biological children, none of the three! This is not really a surprise given the skin color of their children...

Bears and trampolines (7 photos + 1 video)

Posted in ANIMALS       2 Jul 2009       6455
An interesting incident took place a few days ago in States. A bear came on the backyard of one house and climbed a tree.
Barking dogs woke up the owners and when they saw the bear they didn’t know what to do, so they called the emergency service. Rescuers tranquilized it.
The bear fell asleep and fell on the trampoline and then on the ground. Then rescuers took it into the woods and released it )
After that, the trampoline wasn’t good for use anymore.

The process of silk-making (13 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       2 Jul 2009       34149
Silks are produced by several other insects, but only the silk of moth caterpillars has been used for textile manufacture.
Silk moths lay eggs on specially prepared paper. The eggs hatch and the caterpillars (silkworms) are fed fresh mulberry leaves. After about 35 days and 4 moltings, the caterpillars are 10,000 times heavier than when hatched, and are ready to begin spinning a cocoon. A straw frame is placed over the tray of caterpillars, and each caterpillar begins spinning a cocoon by moving its head. Two glands produce liquid silk and force it through openings in the head called spinnerets. Liquid silk is coated in sericin, a water-soluble protective gum, and solidifies on contact with the air. Within 2–3 days, the caterpillar spins about 1 mile of filament and is completely encased in a cocoon. The silk farmers then kill most caterpillars by heat (100 °C), leaving some to metamorphose into moths to breed the next generation of caterpillars.

Dismissed workers of Triumph International ‘Philippines’ (a huge international underwear manufacturer) were holding and throwing bras and panties in the air in front of Department of Labour and Employment (DOLE) in Manila June 30, 2009. They organized this symbolic demonstration to protest against what they qualify as an “illegal and unjust closure of Triumph International Philippines.”
1600 workers were fired because of the closing of Triumph International operations in Philippines.
That’s an unusual and interesting way of protesting… See more pics after the jump.

You cannot even imagine what the human genius can come up with when there is a need to repair or to fix something.
Normally it's great to be able to fix something, but sometimes it’s just stupid.
