- Eduo said: Los "furries" tienen esa extraña posición de ser la única parafilia que se considera extraña casi universalmente en Internet. Gente que no tiene problema buscando porno interracial de enanos transexuales mutilados se burla de los furries y los considera "raritos". Incluso aquellos que buscan porno de representación con disfraces se burla de los furries (que no son sino una variación del mismo tema). Yo desde que supe de ellos por primera vez lo único que he pensado especial es "eso tiene que dar calor" y "como hacen para que no se les llenen de pelusa todos los recovecos".

Filed under: Cellphones The iPhone 3G hits 20 more countries tomorrow, and while we doubt the hype will match the craziness of launch day, that's not stopping Orange from trying to re-create the madness in Poland -- it's hiring "dozens" of actors to line up at 20 stores around the country to "drum up interest."

The ban will extend to city hall, city-owned ...
