Broken Government? Try Broken Media

Seriously, CNN.
Your anchors don't know how long a meter is?
Most respected name in news my infested heinie.

Also, next time you run a week long series on "Broken Government" you might want to consider doing a piece on media conglomeration's role in breaking the government.

After all, the pols are spending all that evil lobbyist money ON YOU.

Behold: Bavatar

Avatar... with Babies from The Midnight Show

A Hero Returns

Avatard Edition.

Yeah, Exactly

A Glazed Doug spakes:

Moon and Avatar are actually very similar films. *SPOILER ALERT* Both are stories of a man on a distant world trying to harness an alternative energy source. Both deal with the ethicality of cloning, and a protagonist who is questioning his own identity as well as his loyalty to an all-powerful corporation. Oh, except Avatar sucked.

Personally I think the no budget green screen look is awesome.

Jones & Berrier - coming to a lonely street near you, soon.

Still Running?

I am not ashamed to admit that I still worry about Joe's eventual fate.

I think the new guy was just there to set Joe up. Dirty Hippy. Not Like good Sgt. Corey.

A Bright And Shining Toy

Full length Vietnam drama - made entirely with GI Joes.

I feel a swoon.

Hello, Delinquenty!

Like a Window Into my Mind

Who would have thought that one day Hitler would emerge as the voice of the disgruntled nerd?

And if you don't get this, that's all right. It means you have a life.

Paging Palin

Forge that Beck guy -
this video should show you who your soul-mate is.

"Did the president, did the attorney general say to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, "Now wait a minute, you don't want to plead guilty. Wait a minute you don't want to be executed. You want to come to New York City. You want to have the trial just like you asked for in the first place"

Don't go breaking my heart, Sarah. You belong together.

Trouble for the Endtimes Ticket?

Beck 'grills' Palin on the "Couric Question."

I call bad buddy-pic! They're setting up the enmity so that later we will cheer when they team-up to save the country from the Satanist/Euro/Fascist/Haitian/Socialists of variant skin-tones.

What's worse, is that this means my dream ticket of Palin/Bachmann is in danger!

So, Sarah - this reminder is for you:


How can you say no to TOTAL GANGSTER GOVERNMENT GIRL?

Now Here's Something to Smile About

But are they going to call it Star Blazers over here?

My Kind of Mash-Up

Thriller  Response Video Meme + Ultraman Kaiju = Heaven

Another Round in the Death of Creative Freedom

Once upon a time there was a fictional character named "Tony Twistelli" aka "Tony Twist."

Tony was a fat Italian gangster who in no way struggled against his stereotype.

But it was the '90s, and it was "Spawn" and nobody cared about things like that.

And he looked like this:



Meanwhile, in the world that likes to consider itself real, there was a hockey player named Tony Twist, who looked like this:



And, eventually the two worlds collided when someone mentioned the Tony Twist mob enforcer to the Tony Twist hockey "enforcer." The hockey enforcer's feelings were very, very hurt and so he did the only sensible thing.

He claimed that the comic Spawn had deprived him of income by using his "likeness" to sell comics, games, cartoons, and movies.

The creator of Spawn admitted that yes, he had named the character after the hockey player, but in no way based the character on the hockey player, nor used the hockey player to promote the comic.

But this is America, where people love to bitch about "trial lawyers" while awarding absurd judgments, and so Tony Twist won millions of dollars and a company went bankrupt.

(shed no tears, however, for this was but the working of a karmic miracle,man.)

And all this is but prelude to this disaster:

Jury Awards $100K to Woman Who Says Fictional Character Defamed Her

A Georgia jury has awarded $100,000 to a woman who says she was defamed because a character in the book The Red Hat Club had a mix of her own traits and other false characteristics that depicted her as a promiscuous alcoholic.

Stewart had contended novelist Haywood Smith, a childhood friend, had created the character SuSu with looks that resembled hers, with the same job as a flight attendant, and with similar experiences involving a second, conniving husband. But Stewart says she did not have other traits of the character, including a propensity to engage in casual sex and drink at work.

Defamed.




By a fictional character.

With a fictional name.

Gawd help us all.
