The CaPC Lance Armstrong Roundup

Last updated on: January 18, 2013 at 3:46 pm By Erin Straza

Last night, Lance Armstrong sent shockwaves around the world with his confession to Oprah. Maybe shockwaves is too strong of a word. Ripple? No—still too much. I’m going with flutter, because, really, we’ve all known for some time now that Armstrong was guilty of something. We just didn’t know exactly what. Here at CaPC, our writers have watched the Armstrong story unfold, offering insights to why our heroes fall and why competitors are pressured to cheat. In case you missed... Read more

Chronicling Porn’s Damaging Effects

Last updated on: January 18, 2013 at 7:10 am By Jason Morehead

The Internet’s increasing ubiquity has led to many good things, but it has had at least one negative side-effect: It has never been easier to access pornography, and massive amounts of it. But how much porn is actually being accessed? Last year, ExtremeTech ran a piece on some of the largest porn sites, to see how much traffic they generate, and the numbers they uncovered were simply staggering. One such site served over 100 million page views a day, which... Read more

Three Feelings I Felt When The Onion Made Fun of Me

Last updated on: January 18, 2013 at 7:10 am By Lauren Rambo

There’s often a tension we feel between “secular” work and “ministry.” We notice others around us working with refugees, performing life-saving surgeries, and advocating for the unborn. Meanwhile, we’re assisting with zoom whitening procedures, writing about fashion (ahem), and serving artisanal coffee. The Onion perfectly exploited this tension in a series of photos of the crisis in Syria. The photos of destruction, violence, fear, and bloodshed were captioned with fluffy commentary about “The 6 Best Dresses At The Golden Globes.” The photos... Read more

The Sandy Hook Conspiracy Theory and Why it Matters

Last updated on: January 18, 2013 at 9:31 am By Alan Noble

It wasn’t long after the Sandy Hook tragedy that I started seeing images and videos purporting to demonstrate how the whole thing was a false flag attack orchestrated by Obama to justify disarming American citizens so that he could more easily establish his dictatorship. Salon has a great post on how these conspiracy theories actually impact innocent people. The post focuses on a local resident who helped school children in the aftermath of Sandy Hook who has become a target... Read more

“Continuum”: Freedom of the Will, the Ethics of Force, and Action-Packed Time Travel

Last updated on: January 16, 2013 at 7:05 pm By Geoffrey Reiter

This Monday saw the American premiere of Continuum, a new science fiction series that has already run its first season in Canada. Indeed, a second season has already been ordered, and Continuum has thus far received generally favorable reviews. The show follows Kiera Cameron (played by Rachel Nichols), a Vancouver cop from the year 2077 as she is inadvertently thrust back in time to our present with Liber8, a group of freedom-fighter terrorists slated to be executed by the corporate-run...

Makeup, Earrings, Heels, and Other Items to Ignore

Last updated on: January 16, 2013 at 12:02 pm By Lauren Rambo

At a previous job, I interviewed a host of candidates for an entry-level position within my department. One résumé seemed particularly intriguing because of the candidate’s tightly edited and well-written style. Her intelligence and ambition practically lept off the page. After conducting the interview, I met with my colleague to discuss how it went. “She seemed smart enough, but her makeup was awful,” I said. My colleague nodded in agreement. The poor girl was wearing a garish shade of metallic... Read more
