An Information Security Place

Here’s another Taekwondo toe picture for you. I got this injury tonight. I think I got it while I was sparring. I’ll keep you posted on the progress of the bruise (’cause I am sure you want to know, right?)

Still having fun, though. I got to run exercises today (all the stretches and pushups and squats and crunches, etc, etc, etc), which is a big deal since the instructor has to have faith you know what you’re doing. And he has me helping with sparring practice as well, so I feel pretty good that I have fooled him into thinking I know what I am doing so far.

Anyway, I am proud of my injuries. I guess that is a guy thing, though most of the blackbelts in the class are girls or women, and they are tougher than I have ever thought about being. And they hit hard.

This is what kills me. You have everyone saying that posting fights and generally screwed up stuff on MySpace and YouTube is bad (I agree), but you have a major media source (well, MSNBC USED to be a major media source) posting the most graphic parts of a video of a girl getting pummelled for everyone who doesn’t know how to use MySpace or YouTube (which is still a LOT of people).

Why must the media do this? For ratings? Come on, people. How about a little class and responsibility. This girl has suffered enough. Must you splash this all over the world via the Internet and cable / satellite?

Of course, I just posted a link to it, so I guess I am a scumbag to. But I’m just reporting the news.
