Politics: WorldNetDaily could use your graphic design skills, guys

  • You will enjoy this work a lot more if you are on the same page as us. You will be bombarded daily with stories about Obama’s birth certificate, the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, guns, abortions, religion, etc. If these things make you cringe, this isn’t the right job for you. We’re depending on your honesty when applying.
  • A job posting by far-right-leaning Web dinosaur WorldNetDaily • Regarding their online-only magazine, WorldNetWeekly. This does not sound like a fun job to start out: You start out as a part-time intern for three months, then become a paid contractor, and then work your way up to a full-time staffer with benefits. It’s telecommuting and you have to be available mornings. We don’t care. We want this job. Have you seen their Web site? It’s a beacon of bad design. You know where our e-mail is, WorldNetDaily staff. Come on. source

World: Japan’s far-right minority doesn’t want you to see this documentary

  • There are millions of Japanese people. There’s around 10,000 far-right nationalists. And they really don’t want you to see “The Cove,” an Oscar-winning film about Japan’s fishing trade, which often is very violent towards dolphins (and notes the amount of mercury in the country’s fish supply). The protests are getting enough attention that the film might not get a showing at all. “Everybody is so scared,” said Tatsuya Mori, a film director and critic of the protests. “The Japanese tend to imagine worst-case scenarios, but we need to remember that they are in fact a very small number of people.” Not a single theater in Japan has been willing to show the film. source
