Harassing women for fun and prizes
Electronic Arts, the video game publisher that is no stranger to either controversy, is sponsoring a contest for its upcoming release of Dante’s Inferno. The contest, taking place at this weekend’s Comic-Con, requires entrants to “commit acts of lust” and take a photo of said act with an EA (or other company’s) booth babes, post the photos on Twitter or Facebook, and repeat the process as many times as possible for additional chances to win. The prize is listed in part as “Dinner and a sinful night with two hot girls”.
Many are understandably outraged at the blatant sexism and the encouragement of sexual harassment. This incident comes on the heels of last month’s IGN contest for a Comic-Con prize package that was originally open to males only.

Remember: New Glasses Before New Passport
Detained in Kenya for not looking enough like her passport photo, Canadian Citizen Suaad Haji Mohamud has been trapped in Kenya for 2 months while trying to return home to her adopted country.
She’s been declared a fraud by the Canadian government and may be deported back to war-torn Somalia, where she was born. She suggested she be fingerprinted, but after a couple of weeks, the government couldn’t come up with anything to match the new prints to. So now, she’s waiting on results of a DNA test that’s expected to take more than another week.

…and the Gunslinger followed.
The desert was the apotheosis of all deserts, huge, standing to the sky for what looked like eternity in all directions. It was white and blinding and waterless and without feature save for the faint, cloudy haze of the mountains which sketched themselves on the horizon and the devil-grass which brought sweet dreams, nightmares, death. An occasional tombstone sign pointed the way, for once the drifted track that cut its way through the thick crust of alkali had been a highway. Coaches and buckas had followed it. The world had moved on since then. The world had emptied.
