2012: THIS IS A DISASTER on Vimeo
I saw the “real” trailer for this movie over the weekend and thought it looked pretty bad. But this trailer makes me want to go see it. Until I realize it’s not the real movie.

Free Speech vs Lunatics
A case to go before the Supreme Court involves a man who produces and sells videos, among them hunting videos and some with dog fights. Dog fights? I thought that was illegal? It is in the United States. But it is not in Japan. It’s also more humane, if there is such a thing.
The law he was prosecuted under was legislated to stop crush videos, where women in high heels step on and kill small animals. People get off on this? But, like most laws, this one was subvertedby who knows what group (PETA cough cough) and then implemented in ways that were unintended.
For instance, one of the videos used to convict Mr. Stevens, the producer of these tapes, showed a dog catching a wild boar and holding it until the hunter arrived. This isn’t an uncommon thing in hunting. And yet, under this law, any video of it is illegal. Dove hunting is illegal in ten states. If you were to videotape somebody shooting a dove in one of these states, or sell that video in one of these states, you would be committing a criminal act. Same thing with Bull fighting.
The animal rights groups want to make animal cruelty the equivalent of child pornography, and have made that comparison.
And the sentence that Mr. Stevens received? Three years. Twice as long as Michael Vick, who actually held dog fights and killed dogs in a heinous manner. Whatever happened to common sense? There are animal abuse laws on the books. Enforce them. Vigorously. Don’t take the easy out, or it will backfire on you and me. Hopefully you more than me.

Quincy IL: Small Town, Big Government
In this story, local Republicans and Democrats tag-team to put out of business a local charity providing safe rides home from local bars.
You would think that he’d be getting some sort of recognition award from the city, but nope, they just want to shut him down. Everything is ruled by litigation anymore, even when it doesn’t need to be. If he’s insured, why does he need regulating? They conducted stings(!) to make sure he wasn’t charging and found nothing. Most of this is based on his juvenile (though charged as an adult) criminal behavior. He did his time, he found something he could do to stay out of trouble and benefit society. But that’s not good enough in a town like Quincy. Once a criminal you are always guilty. It makes you wonder how many of the city council consider themselves to be Christians.

Hurra Torpedo — Total Eclipse of the Heart
These guys are awesome. How come Amurkins can’t be as cool as them? I need a sweatsuit for when I go smashing up appliances.
Well It Turns Out That Microsoft Ad WAS A Porno
Well, this video is just plain creepy, bleeping or not. Are people really going to have Windows 7 launch parties? I would think that if they do, they are all geeks who live in their parent’s basement.

Irish Narcissists
What’s so dangerous about narcissists is this ability to convince people that if they fall from grace, so will everyone else.
I think Ireland is just behind the times compared to America and the rest of Western Europe. Sort of describes the banking and automotive industries that are too big to fail. No company is too big to fail, the world will go on and cope without you. And we just might improve.

Do disgraced stars cheapen reality shows?
Article in South Coast Today
asking if having disgraced stars on reality TV shows cheapen them. But that’s all it really does, is ask that question, then throws in some examples. I was hoping for some analysis, but it’s more of a fluff piece used to work in the TV shows that will be on this week.
In my opinion, reality TV shows are already cheap, and most are misnamed. They don’t portray anybodies reality, how could they with a bunch of cameras there and producers coming up with ideas to get ratings? Now some of them aren’t just attention whore for the sake of attention. I think American Chopper tries, or at least tried, to be true, but even they have strayed from the attention and fame. They wouldn’t be doing all those famous bikes every week if it wasn’t for the show, and I doubt they would take as many field trips if they weren’t being filmed. I’m not saying it’s bad, but it isn’t reality as you and I think about it. The only way to get true reality would be to film without the participants knowing about it ( see The Truman Show ) and that’s not really going to work out too well, now is it? I guess the closest we come now would be COPs. Don’t get me started on Dog the Bounty Hunter, an excellent example of reality gone awry.
