It’s more like coffee I’ll be needing than tea this morning, long day yesterday involving too much work and not enough online time. The day job should really allow for at least an hour or more of web browsing don’t you think? So, this morning was spent having a toddle around the various websites and here’s what I found espeically for you good Gaelickers..

Very scary news from cnet End of gay teen Web site sparks privacy concerns

XY, which billed itself as a young gay men’s magazine and could be found at XY.com, ceased publishing in 2007. Its founder filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year, which could put names, addresses, e-mail addresses, unpublished personal stories, and other information about gay minors into creditors’ hands.

And the Telegraph, what would we do without your ‘hilarious’ headlines ‘YMCA rebrands itself as simply ‘the Y’ .

The lead singer of the original group, Victor Willis, released a statement saying that the change won’t affect the song – or the dance that goes along with it.

Well, that’s a huge relief then, I’m not so sure I could learn all the moves to just the Y.

Poor Beatles fans were up in arms over pictures on twitter showing Lady Gaga playing John’s piano

John’s son, Sean Lennon, posted the photo on Twitter with the caption: “With gaga at mom’s house, she’s belting on the white piano…” The instrument was a gift from The Beatles’ frontman to Sean’s mother, Yoko Ono, and it sits out in the open at Yoko’s home.

It’s a piano and she’s an artist, take a chill pill Beatles fans.

One fan responded to Sean’s Twitpic, saying, “WHY WOULD YOU LET LADY GAGA PLAY ON JOHN’S PIANO? I’m disappointed. >:(“

I’m so disappointed you couldn’t turn off the caps lock.

The duration is approximately and on average 1.5 to 3 years, according to various studies,” said Marino

Eight sexual trysts per year? * pats head of Bishop Marino *

The duration is approximately and on average 1.5 to 3 years. Really? What are these “various studies”?

At www.feministing.com, NYT Ethicist’s dangerous advice on outing “transgendered” people

Sunday’s The Ethicist, an advice column by Randy Cohen in the New York Times, addressed a question from a woman who found out the man she was dating was transgender. The questioner asks if she should out this man to her entire community.

A responsible, informed answer to this question would address how dangerous, not to mention invasive and just plain unethical, publicly outing a trans person is.

Cohen does not give this answer. His response demonstrates complete ignorance about trans folks and our experience with the notion of outing.

If you own a pink car, I want to just ask why?, you’re very safe If You Don’t Want Your Car Stolen, Make It Pink

New research from the Netherlands finds that thieves are less likely to steal brightly colored cars because of their lower resale value.
