10.14.05 by ScottC @ 12:01 am ![]() Let's see, we had the War on Poverty, the War on Drugs, and the War on Terror. Now that those wars are over and we've apparently declared victory (?) and since nobody has anything better or more important to take care of, we can now move onto a new priority: the War on Sex. State and federal governments promote abstinence only programs, school textbooks teach sex is bad for you, and the FBI making pornography one of the top priorities. Now there's a bill that just passed the House of Representatives that could make mainstream movies and television jump through the same bureaucratic hoops as pornographic productions. Of course, porn makes much money, so producers go to the trouble of dealing with the paperwork. But would your regular lazy Hollywood executive? Here's a link to the Senate Judiciary Committee. They're next in line to look at the bill. Why not send a note to your Senator saying you like sex and don't need the government to enact back door methods of censorship? As the Needcoffee.com Minister of Naughty Bits, I'm urging you to do so before frolicking = felony. Categorized as: Rants

04.06.05 by Widge @ 4:16 am You know, I saw this originally on Boing Boing and I didn't want to comment. But now I can't help myself. I understand the rationale for standing in line at the Chinese in order to raise money for their charity. More power to those guys. But standing in line being more important than the movie itself? Especially when, if the last two films are any indication (not to mention the information that's been leaked online), the movie is almost guaranteed to suck so hard that not even light will escape it? Those people are sad. "We don't care if the movie sucks! We just want it to suck at the Chinese!" What the hell. Have fun in Geekworld. Console yourself with the Revenge of the Sith t-shirt you're wearing that you bought while complaining about the title the entire time you stood in line to get it. Sleep secure in the knowledge that Lucas is done with the franchise after this. Well, and the 3-D versions. And Episodes 7-9. Categorized as: Movies and Rants
