| Log on and fall into the arms of your perfect political match
HERE'S some disconcerting news: the most democratic thing you can do this Saturday is let someone else tell you how to vote. Confused? You needn't be. Last week, the political activist group GetUp! launched a new web page that takes the guesswork out of voting by playing Cupid with citizens and candidates. The website, www.howshouldivote.com.au works like a computer dating site. Lonely voters simply enter their vital statistics (in this case postcodes rather than chest circumferences), answer a bunch of questions (views on corporate taxes rather than views on athletic Piscean divorcees) and voila: GetUp's crazy love-bug computer sends you the mobile phone numbers of 10 horny housewives in your area ... sorry, I mean a personalised how-to-vote card for the House of Representatives.
Beautiful Miss Idaho in LCHS Parade
Below, Family Phil's shot of historic downtown Wallace. BTW, Phil has a Little-Ears-Have-Big-Windows post here. *HBO's still trying to figure out what Stebbijo/Your Choice means by done-r here. *CDADave/Thin Air is trying out a new look as he prepares to return to the HBO blogosphere in a big way on Monday. He's asking folks what they think here. *Amy Crooks/That's Life.

Also: Herb Huseland/Bay Views puts in his 2 cents about the inheritance tax here, Digital Fog has another fine parody here, ErinG/Idaho Native is getting nervous about the birth process here and Cis Gors/From A Simple Mind analyzes an online quiz she took here.
Diapers and feet: when fetishes go sour
I'm a 21-year-old female and I know the my-boyfriend-has-a-diaper-fetish thing has been done to death. But… We've been together for two years. When he mustered up the courage to tell me about his fetish, I was supportive, even though it did seem odd. To be completely honest, he's so good-looking and such a wonderful guy that I was worried about losing him if I seemed less than ecstatic. Flash forward a year and a half. We're very close, we're in a really good place, and we want to get married. However, his fetish has started to bother me. In the beginning, he wanted me to talk down to him, he'd come in his diaper, and we were done. We'd do that roughly once a week. Now it's all he ever wants to do, and "normal" sex is off the menu. And his fetish has progressed to these elaborate role-play scenarios complete with "sissy outfits".
Lynx tells online Casanovas to get real
A tongue-in-cheek digital advertising campaign from deodorant brand Lynx is aiming to help men who spend too much time flirting on Facebook and in chatrooms to learn how to pull women in real life. The campaign, the first work by creative ad agency BBH since it won Lynx's digital business in December, aims to give men "diverse digital content to use to play the seduction game in real life". In recognition of the fact that the web and gadgets are part of most young men's lifestyle, BBH has put a website, called Get in There, at the heart of the campaign. The site, lynxeffect.com, has tools including a range of mobile phone applications that will turn a handset into "a pulling tool, a weapon of mass seduction". Lynx's Fit Girl Finder emits a bleeping sound that "homes in" on an attractive lady.
