Below is a screen shot I took of WordPress.com yesterday (1/19/12) as they boycotted the SOPA & PIPA bills that would allow internet censorship. Learn more about the bills here.

10 Extreme Adventures!
Back in September, MSNBC Travel did an article on 10 extreme adventures – everything from shark bating to helicopter safaris! How many of these crazy vacations would YOU take?
10 Extreme Adventures:
- Go shark-bating (we don’t support this one*)
- Dive in an exosuit
- Go drag racing
- Take a helicopter safari
- Rescue training school
- Bulldoze something
- Go street-luging
- Drive a tank
- Try stunt training
- Fly a MiG over Russia
Go street-luging!
Take a helicopter safari!
*After researching some pictures to accompany MSNBC’s list, we were really turned off by shark-bating. We learned that there are some French Islander fishing techniques that use live dogs as bait – the pictures are very sad and we do not support these practices. What are your thoughts?
