Video Premiere: “Telephone (Short Version)” by Lady Gaga featuring Beyoncé

Lady Gaga’s collaboration with Beyonce, “Telephone,” has gotten the cut. First because 9 minute plus video was too long for airing. Second, MTV has allegedly banned the video because it was too suggestive. This is the same channel that permits homophobic and sexist videos to air. But a little female empowerment in pop is not OK. It’s funny how MTV thinks it still has a clout in what shapes the pop world. At any rate, this is the shorter version.

Seahorses found in the Thames river

Lovely creature, but we always though that seahorses are marine fish (Yes, the are fish, they are actually evolutionary cousins of the pipefish), but it turns out they live in freshwater. They were found not too long ago in the Thames river, the same river that hosted a whale a couple of years ago, which had to be escorted out. The species of seahorse are short-snouted and utterly cute. But, it looks like being in the Thames had an impact on their color of gloom.
