My choice of updates to include in last Thursday’s round-up of controversial posts turned out to be somewhat, ah…well, you know: Starts at “c” and gets to “l” by way of “ontroversia?” In the interest of shameless click-baiting fairness, here’s a few that didn’t make my initial cut, as well as a couple that escaped my attention altogether. And—what the heck—I’ll arbitrarily format it as a Top 10 list.

Since when did this become a soapbox for, “what I find morally objectionable.”
Numero tres is busted.
Fanks!
The pedicab story had at least two parts, the second is here :

A quick Google search shows me that he actually got this thing approved, complete with its corrugated steal tubing and that deadly-looking S-curve. From the photos it looks like he managed to address the city’s concerns just by adding padding!
In many ways this list makes more sense than the first one. I think the aircraft seat story had some good conversation behind it. Even though I was annoyed that something like that was posted, in the end it led to some good conversation.
I think Mr.Starkey makes an EXCELLENT George Lucas.
