Microsoft is not backing down with its "Scroogled" campaign, going so far as to create merchandise for those who are ... really into battles between search engines? The Scroogled section of the online Microsoft Store features mugs, hats, t-shirts, and hoodies with logos and phrases that criticize Google's search tactics. "Keep Calm While We Steal Your Data," reads the tagline on a $7.99 black mug (above) and $11.99 t-shirt, both of which are currently sold out.If you really want to broadcast your search engine allegiances, a "Scroogled" hat ($14.99), hoodie ($25.99) or t-shirt ($11.99) are still available. The designer behind the Scroogled word cloud t-shirt ($11.99) broke open the thesaurus to highlight the extent of Google's scroogling. Did you know you were being Flimflammed and Skullduggered? Just look at your chest for a reminder. Meanwhile, if having a huge spider on your chest doesn't creep you out, another t-shirt option features said spider with the Chrome logo as her body, below the "Step Into Our Web" tagline.

"Google is the spider. Google services are the spider web. You know what happens next," the listing text reads. Google is going to eat me or feed me to her young? A final t-shirt basically turns the Chrome logo into a neighborhood watch warning sign. "I'm watching you," it says, though it has no mouth. "Creepers gonna creep," Redmond notes. Redmond's Scroogled campaign emerged last year, shortly after Microsoft launched the "Bing It On" campaign, which asked people to select which search results they prefer: Google or Bing. Not surprisingly, Bing was the most popular search engine, at least among those who were featured on Microsoft's commercials. Two months later, it launched a website, dubbed Scroogled, that took Google to task for turning its shopping results into a commercial endeavor. Earlier this year, Microsoft expanded Scroogled to target Gmail, too. Despite Microsoft's effort, Google is still the top U.S. search engine. According to data from comScore, Google Sites had 66.9 percent of search share in October, while Microsoft landed at 18.1 percent.

After working on this album for several years, I'm very happy (and relieved) to see it nearing release. It's currently up for pre-order here via the SIGE webshop. We'll also be bringing copies with us on tour later this month (see previous posts for dates). Above: Black Spirituals "Black Treatment" CS. Design by A. Turner using original art elements by F. Coloccia. Haven't been able to do as much design work as I'd like lately, so I was happy when the opportunity arose to create the sleeve for a tour CS EP by Black Spirituals. For now it's a cassette only release and currently available for order here. Thanks to Black Spirituals for asking me to do this, and to Faith for providing some excellent source materials! New Black Spirituals studio album in the works for later this year, also due for release via SIGE. It is with great regret that we are announcing the postponement of our tour that was to set begin this week - we will only be able play the Vancouver date on 2/19.

In our collective careers none of us has ever had to do this, and wouldn't do so without very good reason. Here's what happened - 1: We've been applying for a visa for Nick so he can legally play in the US - as some of you may know he is Canadian. We started this process almost a year ago and were assured it would come through in time for this tour. We can't risk him being barred from the country for good by bringing him over for this tour without one. 2: One of us has had a health crisis within our very immediate family - one that requires being close to home for the foreseeable future. hoodie zergOne of these reasons alone would've been enough to shut the tour down, the two combined makes it basically impossible. ziener hoodiesBelieve us when we say no one is more disappointed than we are, and we WILL make this up in the very near future, once the above obstacles have been overcome. cheap hollister hoodies amazon

In the meantime come see us in Vancouver this weekend if you can, and please go see our great friends ENDON and Black Spirituals who will be doing the rest of the tour without us. They are two of the best bands going at the moment and very worthy of your time and attention. Both have done a lot to make this tour happen (ENDON coming all the way from Japan), and would love your attendance at the remaining shows. Thank you all for your support and we look forward to seeing you very soon.hoodie nam vnxkBatman Quotes JokerHeath Ledger Joker QuotesBatman ThejokerhahahaDark Knight Joker QuotesThe Joker QuotesSuperhero QuotesJoker Sayings QuotesVilian QuotesQuotes 9GagForwardThis city deserves a better kind of criminal - and I'm gonna give it to them49ers kaepernick hoodieIn his long career as an accomplished journalist working across the American South, Steve Crump has come face-to-face with hatred and bigotry. bape hoodie shark for sale

The Emmy-winning journalist spent time reporting on the Ku Klux Klan in which he, a black man, interviewed members of the organization, people who by their very membership profess to hate him due to the color of his skin. For all that, though, Crump, 59, told The Washington Post that he’s never felt the blunt hatred he did in Charleston, S.C., on Oct. 8. Crump, who works for WBTV in Charlotte, was in Charleston working on a story about cleanup following Hurricane Matthew. silvia s15 hoodieAlong with his camera crew, he was filming near the southern tip of the peninsula when he came across a young white man, he and later police identified as 21-year-old Brian Eybers, holding an iPad, apparently producing some sort of “citizen journalism,” as Crump put it. The man, watching the WBTV crew, was narrating his story into the tablet when Crump caught wind of what he was saying. “He basically said, ‘There’s a black guy here.

No, wait a minute, he’s a slave. No wait a minute, he’s a ‘n-word,’ ” Crump told The Post. Added Crump, “I went from 0 to 60 in an instant, just like that. I just turned to [my cameraman] and said, ‘We need to get this guy on tape.’” (The result can be viewed above, with offensive language bleeped.) Charleston’s racial history, like that of other Southern cities, isn’t pretty, and recent events have only reinforced that. The Gullah population, descendants of enslaved Western African peoples in the Lowcountry, can be seen selling handwoven baskets to wealthy white patrons in the city’s palm tree-lined French Quarter, where high-end restaurants from celebrity chefs like Sean Brock collect tourist dollars by the fistful. That disparity is difficult to miss in the Holy City, so named for the many steeples dotting the skyline. Crump and the young man were near the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist but Mother Emanuel AME Church sat only 10 blocks away. It was there, in June 2015, that Dylann Roof was accused of killing nine black worshipers.

Crump stood in that church, hours later, blood still drying. He stood there again a year later, to cover the wretched anniversary. After the shooting, the family members of those slain chose to follow scripture by offering forgiveness, an act that turned the city of Charleston into a “disarmed powder keg,” Crump said. Naturally, all of this raged through Crump’s head as he stormed toward Eybers. After all, Crump, a great-great grandson of Kentucky slaves, spent his career considering race relations. As Dennis Milligan, WBTV’s news director, told the Charlotte Observer, “You could safely call Steve the leading civil rights reporter in town with his documentaries and daily stories.” Crump told The Post that in the moment, he faced a simple but difficult question: “Do you respond to it, or not? Do you let it stand?” Given the city’s recent history, he decided he couldn’t let it stand. “Say that a little bit louder,” Crump said to Eybers on tape. “Come on, what did you just call me?”

“I called you ‘Sir,'” Eybers said, eyes shaded by glasses. He sat on the ground near the cathedral, wearing a white T-shirt with the logo for the band Sublime, shorts and a purple hoodie wrapped around his waist, along with a pair of Nikes and black crew socks. “You did not call me ‘Sir,’ ” Crump shot back. “You called me in the n-word, right?” At which point Eybers said, “I believe I did call you the n-word.” When asked to spell it, Eybers obliged with an eerie calm. “N as in Nancy, I as in indigo, G as in grant,” and so on. When Crump asked what gave Eybers the right to call him that, the young man cited the Constitution of the United States. Crump pushed further, his microphone pointed at Eybers as if it were any other interview. He asked if the young man felt superior. Eybers pushed his sunglasses off his nose, revealing his eyes. “Yeah, this one does make me superior,” he said. The video continued, with Eybers continued to layer insult after insult atop one another, all aimed at Crump’s skin color.

“You’re a f‑‑‑ing idiot,” Eybers told Crump, chuckling. “You’re ignorant, so you really are a n‑‑‑‑‑, then. “And does that give you a right —” Crump began. “It gives me every right I f—ing need. You don’t give me the right. God gave me the right. I was endowed by my creator,” Eybers said as he coaxed a flame from a lighter and held it up to an unknown item in his hand. “I can’t have the same lifestyle you have?” “No, you can’t,” Eybers said. “Because I don’t want you to.” Finally, after Eybers asked whether Crump is a Roman Catholic, the newscaster climbed into his van and called the police. Eybers stood in front of the van and continued to light the unknown item. He again called Crump the n-word. Finally, police arrested Eybers, who smiled as he was guided into the back of a squad car. He has been charged with disorderly conduct and possession of drug paraphernalia, specifically a glass crack pipe, police told the Charlotte Observer.

It’s unclear if Eybers has a lawyer or had entered a plea. He has a court date on Friday. “I’ve been around hate groups, that kind of thing . . . but it has never been this level of volatility,” Crump told The Post. “I’ve interviewed members of the Klan face to face, and they’ve never stooped to that level of vulgarity” Days later, when considering his reaction to the Eybers’s insults, Crump paused on the telephone. He had just driven back into Charleston to attend Eybers’s court hearing on Friday morning. “I’m on Meeting Street right now, and in about three stop lights, I’m going to be by Shell gas station, and behind the gas station is Mother Emmanuel Church,” he said quietly. “Were those people in that church allowed to live up to their full potential, or were they cut short because of someone’s personal judgment call?” That’s one reason he felt the need to document Eybers’s racist tirade. To Crump, racism is far more complex than skin color or a simple stereotype, and seeing it might help explain some aspect of the generally inexplicable.
