Blackface is NOT OK

If there were a Nobel Prize for stupidity, this year’s winner would be: White People.

A racial and domestic violence scandal hits Waverly, New York, a town with a 97 percent white population.

This image, according to CNN iReport contributor Matthew Dishler, shows three white students at New York state’s Waverly High School wearing blackface during a skit at the school’s homecoming pep rally:

“Three white students were to perform a skit in black face, depicting Chris Brown and Rhianna [sic] most notibly [sic]. In this skit they would display acts of domestic violence as satire to an audience that included not only students but parents, faculty, and various members of the media and community leaders. None of them stopped the skit.”

The story, published early Monday morning, has stirred up plenty of conversation in the Waverly community. Students and alumni have shown support and shame. But more often than not, the response seems to be defensive.

It may be easier and cheaper just to kiss an actual egg.

Meet Kissenger version 2.0, an artificial mouth designed to transfer a kiss in real-time via the Internet. It works by plugging into a USB port and when you kiss the device’s lips, pressure sensors and actuators replicate the sensation on the other Kissenger, and vice versa.

Even though the Internet has made it easier for couples to communicate with each other, long-distance relationships are still difficult, but an ongoing project from Lovotics could soon break down the physical barrier that exists between separated lovers.

After all, who, at the end of a video chat, hasn’t longed for an almost featureless face the size and shape of an Ostrich egg to smooch with before saying goodnight?
