Prop 8 - The Musical
Oh Prop 8, you were so wrong. And leave it to the community to develop a musical about gay bashing. Am I surprised? I'm not sure if there is much left to surprise me anymore...

Desert Bus For Hope
Back from last year, the desert bus kids in Canada are at it again. Last year, they raised 22,000 dollars for the Child's Play charity, a fund raising event to help get games and consoles to children's hospitals worldwide. Thus far they have raised over 50K this year.
What makes desert bus great is that to raise this said money, they play the game Desert Bus for as long as people continue donating the requisite 1000 dollars and hour mandating they continue. This is a veritable hell because to call the game (if you could say it was a game by any stretch of that word's definition) monotanous is doing it an extreme disservice. The game goes as follows: In real time, you drive a bus at 45mph from Tucsan to Los Vegas. There are no cars on the road, there is no scenery apart from the occasional tumbleweed. The road is absolutely straight, but to ensure you don't tape down the control button, the bus leans slightly to the right. This forces the player to constantly tap the left button. The trip takes 8 hours, and when you arrive in Los Vegas you score 1 point and are given the option to return. If you go off the road, a tow truck comes and toes you back tot he nearest location, in real time.
