Oh God. Keep banging on about bullying, and naturally, everyone's going to send you heartbreaking links.

Student kills himself after gay sex footage put online

Parents say bullies drove their son to take his life

Focus on the Family stands up for bullying

(Don't stop sending those links, folks. I have Kleenex.)

ETA: Facebook 'frenemies' most likely to hurt kids (findings of the Norton Online Living Report). "Evidence shows the greatest harm comes from their peer group, not the dodgy online stranger or predator."

How the hell has my life suddenly got so busy?! If it's not medical stuff, it's deadlines (day job or scribbling). I owe everyone on the planet an email. Bear with me, folks.

Music Videos

M, Pop Muzik. The original 1979 video. My long-held suspicion was right - the lady at the microphone is the real backup singer, Brigit Novik. It's a great gag (and IMHO she's prettier than the dolled-up dancers to boot. :)

Tom Tom Club, Genius of Love

Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip, I Lost My Heart To a Starship Trooper

The Quick, Hip Shake Jerk. (I have a weird little crush on the dancing girl in this.)

Looking for those, I stumbled across Penny "Lady Bump" McLean's Tut-Ench-Amun. "He lived like a king, and he died like a man!"

I don't know if this really is the Worst Music Video Ever, but it's certainly in the running. (So's the video for Brotherhood of Man's Save Your Kisses For Me with the CSO background, which I will inflict on you if I can find it, oh yes I will.)
