Kookies & Kreme

More from the stupid minds that brought you ManBabies. A site that has about as much crappola as Trent Reznor’s Tweets. You’ll love it! Let’s face it who doesn;t want a Star Trek Theme remix or access to real live Baby Men…

Trent_Reznor is still on Twitter

Despite rumours Trent Reznor deleted his Twitter account, I just checked and he’s still around. He has however made all comms *one way*, which means ultimately he has the last say and ensures he tells everyone to get fucked at least a thousand times a day.

Apparently Trent got a lil angry over fans accusing him of being a sell-out after lots of kissy-kissy admissions of his newly found love: Here are some of the tweets that infuriated angsty fans:

Reznor: “Now that I’m in love and gone all soft on you, can anyone recommend any romantic comedies? Got a weird urge.”

And

Reznor: “I am missing someone. Boo hoo.”

And

Reznor: “Wait – I’m in love and getting married! I’d give you all free tickets if I could. (hugs)”

You have to remember that this is from the author of albums with titles such as “Pretty Hate Machine”, “Broken” and “The Downward Spiral.”

Reznor was using Twitter the way it was intended – and that was just to be himself. But when a whole career has been spent creating and marketing a nihilistic industrial rock god, public announcements of  urges to watch romantic comedies and wanting to give “hugs,” aren’t going to go down too well with some members of the fanbase. Poor Trent just couldn’t stand being accused of  “going soft”.

Oh well Trent all we can say is Fuck You and the Bride you came in On! *weg*

One Way Street Party – Sydney Pride

Sydney Pride and SameSame.com.au are teaming up for a brand new party concept for Sydney. It involves 6 venues along the same street, and 1 massive party!

On Friday June 26th The One Way Street Party takes place at Slide, Gilligans, Stonewall, Columbian, Nevermind and the Oxford. For one night of the year, all of these venues will be coming together for a massive party to celebrate Sydney Pride and the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.

For an entry fee of $10 at any of the venues on Friday June 26, you will receive a red wristband that will give you free entry at all of the One Way Street Party venues, as well as drinks specials on the night just by flashing your band. Each venue will be putting on something special to make the Street Party fun, with entertainment and shows to entertain you as you work your way up and down the strip.

The One Way Street Party is a Sydney Pride event that will be raising money for local charities that traditionally find it hard to fundraise, including Kids With Aids, Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby, Luncheon Club and the Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service. The $10 wristband will go directly to these charities.

Twitter Backgrounds

Hmmm neat idea especially for us too tired types! Gaining in popularity is the Freedom for Iran background! Lots of stories circulating as to how Twitter has helped the people of Iran. One of the better blogs ‘The API revolution’  is written by Jeff Jarvis of  Buzz Machine.

Personally, I am leaning to the Dark Fairy Twitter background : but there is a Girl Background category so I’ll probably change my mind;)
