A United Nations investigator is warning that CIA-controlled remote drone assassinations of suspected Islamic terrorists could lead to a “PlayStation mentality” towards killing.
In the wake of the Rapelay controversy, the United Nations’s Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women is urging for the ban of explicit games and anime.
While Ethan Allen makes mosquito nets look romantic, living in a country where mosquito nets are purely utilitarian and totally necessary (mine was a hideous blue colour with an ugly flower pattern in the netting, and was rigged up to the ceiling with fishing line – no four poster beds to be found) will dash any romantic ideas post-haste. April 25th is World Malaria Day, and as part of the ‘Nothing But Net’ campaign to get mosquito nets to parts of Africa where malaria is a very real and very deadly problem, the UN has commissioned an easy little came called ‘Deliver the Net’: The challenge: race the sun and hand out as many insecticide-treated bed nets as you can to African families. The more nets you deliver – before the mosquitoes come out – the more lives you save. Once you’re done playing the game, sign up, confirm your email, and a life-saving bed net will be sent on your behalf!
