I have a question for you people, what do you think about the Dr. Laura Schlessinger scandal? For those unfamiliar, a popular woman on radio named Dr. Laura answers people's questions and gives general advice. She answered a black caller's question who was concerned about remarks her husband's friends were making about her race. Dr Laura responded saying:
"CALLER: How about the N-word? So, the N-word's been thrown around --
SCHLESSINGER: Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO, listen to a black comic, and all you hear is nigger, nigger, nigger."
and
"SCHLESSINGER: All right. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Can't have this argument. You know what? If you're that hypersensitive about color and don't have a sense of humor, don't marry out of your race."
I'm curious to hear other people's opinions on this, because I'm somewhat conflicted. In context, her remarks are less offensive than the media makes them seem, but at the same time, I think sensitivity (especially on a radio program, no less) is important.
It's on metalsucks. I figured out what it is after going to Last.fm then google searching on of the bands. Turns out it wasn't the band I googled and the band name is stupid

Someone PLEASE figure out the bottom half of this shit. It's driving me fucking nuts. I can read the "Rotted" part >_<
I can tell on the bottom that the middle two letters look like DR but I can't figure out the rest. Fucking bands and their logos GAH!
I'm not gonna submit an answer for the contest or anything.

I just ordered a Valnøtt for my home studio I'm starting to build. It's incredible.
