Radio Sucks, and then, You Satellite!
As I approach my 27th anniversary in the broadcast industry(radio), as much as I hate to do it, it is time for me to vent and blow up the business that has been a major part of my life. However, today was such a positive day and experience, I feel compelled to restrain myself somewhat, for the time being. But, at a later date, between now and the end of May, I will unleash my true feelings about the corporate assholes and their puppet flunkies that have all but destroyed commercial radio as we knew it.
While going about my daily business today, March 30, 2006, I had the pleasure of meeting up with BBC Radio 1BBC - Radio 1 - Dancedj Fabio. As we spent the better of 2 hours together, 2 of the best spent hours I have had for a good while, we both realized just how screwed up the music industry is. And it all comes from the corporate pimp music companies, and, their whore radio companies. Especially in the godd ole USA. If you got hold of a satellite radio, or digital cable radio, or an internet radio station, YOU, would realize just how much GREAT music you are missing. For every artist you hear on "terrestrial radio", there are a bunch more that are 100 times better. I must admit though, BBC Radio 1 and a number of other Euro markets are much more aggressive and progressive with the variety and amount of music they play and promote. Kudos to the BBC!
Let me, at this time, give you an example of "corporate stupidity and dumbass". As you will notice, in the picture of the billboard for Tabu Night Club in Orlando, they have had shows within a week, for Crystal Method and Paul Oakenfold. Two of the biggest names in the electronica, techno, club/dance, sound track world. Though I don't have attendance numbers, both of these artist frequently sell out, or close to it, when they come to the Orlando area. Not surprisingly though, NONE of the IDIOT local radio companies/stations, play these artist. It's like they are saying, "we don't care about the people that follow and like them". "All we care about is the rap and hip hop heads". I don't suppose that it ever dawned on these "mental dorks" that their hip hop crowds spending power is nothing compared to the spending power of the Crystal Method type crowd.
But fret not corporate land based radio, because, pretty soon, you and all your greedy, don't know shit about music, minions, will be turned out to pasture. Unless, you can find an audience for non stop commercials. The same 5 or 6 played over and over and over.
Yeah, I know, "Bobby sure is burning his bridges". So what, I have a matter transporter. SCREW YOUR BRIDGES! Hey, the industry was good to me, I was good to it, and, I got what I wanted. I went out #1 on my terms. Can't beat that with a stick! YOU, should be so lucky.

Need ANOTHER Reason NOT TO FLY
Actual Footage from Snakes on a Plane. Oh Dear.
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. We all knew that, one day, we'd have to stop imagining the greatness that would be Snakes on a Plane, and be forced to submit to how the movie actually was going to look.
Well, friends, I'm in mourning, because that day is here. No more pretending that it's going to be hilarious, campy fun. No more mental images of a plane, waist-deep in snakes. No more joy. No more fun. From now on, it's just real footage of crappy, fake snakes, bad acting, and the creeping realization that the movie was always going to suck, and not even in a fun way.
Now, this isn't the full trailer or anything, so maybe I'm wrong - perhaps those reshoots Erik told us about are going to kick the whole thing up about 100 notches and turn it into the rocking flick of our collective imaginations.
Right now, though? I gotta be honest. I feel like I might cry.
You know, there is a lot of serious shit going on in the world. Which, I do try to stay on top of and keep you informed of. However, I do possess a sarcastic humorous personality also. That's why I posted this story. Plus, being on an airplane thousands of feet in the sky, filled with SNAKES, that is also SOME SERIOUS SHIT!
Hey, enjoy, and, feel free to post your comments.TagWorld :: snakesonaplane's Home

Toshiba HD DVD Players
Toshiba Delays High-Def DVD Player Debut
TOKYO (AP) - Toshiba Corp. said Friday it has postponed the release of high-definition DVD players in the United States until April, a month later than planned, so that it can synchronize the sales with title releases from Hollywood studies.
A precise sales date was not available, said Toshiba spokeswoman Junko Furuta.
But the Japanese electronics company was "currently working with major studios and major retailers to finalize sales dates of our players," she said. Toshiba had previously said it would release the new product in March.
Furuta cited last week's announcement by Time Warner's Warner Home Video unit, which said that on April 18, it would release the first titles using the HD DVD format, including "Million Dollar Baby" and "The Last Samurai."
The HD DVD format and the competing Blu-ray disc format, backed by Sony Corp. (SNE), deliver dazzling images in high-definition video and can store much more data than today's DVDs, allowing for more interactive features, like enjoying a movie while simultaneously watching the director discuss the scene.
Sony has said it will start selling Blu-ray disc DVD players in the United States this summer.
Toshiba's new HD DVD players, HD-XA1 and HD-A1, will be priced at $799 and $499, respectively, the company has said.
The HD DVD format is backed by Universal Studios, Warner Bros. and Intel Corp. (INTC), as well as Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), which hopes its new Xbox 360 video game console will challenge Sony's PlayStation.
The HD DVD format, jointly developed with Japan's NEC Corp. (NIPNY), is incompatible with Blu-ray, which is also backed by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd., which makes Panasonic brand products, Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL), Hewlett-Packard Co. and Dell Inc. (DELL), along with a variety of other tech companies and studios.
Sony has already started selling video recorders that use the Blu-ray technology and is planning to release the PlayStation 3 game consoles, which also use the technology, by November. Sony has not disclosed a price for the Blu-ray disc players.
Furuta said Toshiba has begun making pre-sale HD DVD demonstration in 40 major U.S. cities since last month, including New York, Los Angeles and Seattle.
I can't wait to be able to get a "true hi def dvd" player! Then I can appreciate the stuff that is in hi def on dvd. As I have stated before, "there is NO hi def dvd player". Not until the Toshiba and/or, blu-ray by Sony come out. If you want more info on the Toshiba machines, go toTOSHIBA for the goodies.
Stupid People, don't bother. You will just confuse yourselves and give yourself a major headache.
Illegal Aliens, R U REALLY THAT STUPID?
Immigration Rallies Draw Thousands Nationwide
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Thousands of people across the country protested Friday against legislation cracking down on illegal immigrants, with demonstrators in such cities as Los Angeles, Phoenix and Atlanta staging school walkouts, marches and work stoppages.
Congress is considering bills that would make it a felony to be illegally in the United States, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border. The proposals have angered many Hispanics.
The Los Angeles demonstration led to fights between black and Hispanic students at one high school, but the protests were largely peaceful, authorities said.
Chantal Mason, a sophomore at George Washington Preparatory High, said black students jumped Hispanic students as they left classes to protest a bill passed the House in December that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally.
"It was horrible, horrible," Mason said. "It's ridiculous that a bunch of black students would jump on Latinos like that, knowing they're trying to get their freedom."
In Phoenix, police said 10,000 demonstrators marched to the office of Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, co-sponsor of a bill that would give illegal immigrants up to five years to leave the country. The turnout clogged a major thoroughfare.
"They're here for the American Dream," said Malissa Greer, 29, who joined a crowd estimated by police to be at least 10,000 strong. "God created all of us. He's not a God of the United States, he's a God of the world."
Kyl had no immediate comment on the rally.
At least 500 students at Huntington Park High School near Los Angeles walked out of classes in the morning. Hundreds of the students, some carrying Mexican flags, walked down the middle of Los Angeles streets, police cruisers behind them.
In Georgia, activists said tens of thousands of workers did not show up at their jobs Friday after calls for a work stoppage to protest a bill passed by the Georgia House on Thursday.
That bill, which has yet to gain Senate approval, would deny state services to adults living in the U.S. illegally and impose a 5 percent surcharge on wire transfers from illegal immigrants.
Supporters say the Georgia measure is vital to homeland security and frees up limited state services for people legally entitled to them. Opponents say it unfairly targets workers meeting the demands of some of the state's largest industries.
Teodoro Maus, an organizer of the Georgia protest, estimated as many as 80,000 Hispanics did not show up for work. About 200 converged on the steps of the Georgia Capitol, some wrapped in Mexican flags and holding signs reading: "Don't panic, we're Hispanic" and "We have a dream, too."
Jennifer Garcia worried what would the proposal would do to her family. She said her husband is an illegal Mexican immigrant.
"If they send him back to Mexico, who's going to take care of them and me?" Garcia said of herself and her four children. "This is the United States. We need to come together and be a whole."
On Thursday, thousands of people filled the streets of Milwaukee for what was billed as "A Day Without Latinos" to protest efforts in Congress to target undocumented workers. Police estimated more than 10,000 people joined the demonstrations and march to downtown Milwaukee. Organizers put the number at 30,000.
This is why we need to close our borders! Most of these "illegal dumb asses" are INHERENTLY STUPID! Like this "ignorant" bimbo Jennifer Garcia in Georgia. "If they send him back to Mexico, who will take care of me and my 4 kids"? Uh, excuse me bitch, that is NOT the problem of the United States, nor should it be. Take you and your illegal husbands ass back to Mexico, get a Mexican life and leave us the f..k alone! Or, if you are going to come here, come here legally! And while you are at it, take all the rest of the illegal scumbags that think the USA owes them something, back with you. We don't owe you shit! Instead of coming here and becoming a drain on our infrastructure, here's a novel idea, "try staying in your piece of crap country and try to make IT better"!
If you come on my property, or, in my house illegally, I have the right to shoot you. Bet you wouldn't like it if all of a sudden the USA applied that principal to it's house? Try being an illegal immigrant in China or Russia or somewhere like that, and see what happens to your sorry ass!
The American people have had enough of the "illegal immigrant" bullshit. You better wake your dumb asses up and start facing reality. You think life is tough now, it is getting ready to get a lot TOUGHER.

YOU Should Live So Long
Indian tortoise, Clive's pet, dies at 250 years
KOLKATA, India (Reuters) - A giant aldabra tortoise thought to be around 250 years old has died in the Kolkata zoo of liver failure, Indian authorities said on Thursday.
The tortoise had been the pet of Robert Clive, the famous British military officer in colonial India around the middle of the 18th century, a local minister in West Bengal state said.
Local authorities say the tortoise, named "Addwaitya" meaning the "The One and Only" in Bengali, was the oldest tortoise in the world but they have not presented scientific proof to back up their claim.
"Historical records show he was a pet of British general Robert Clive of the East India Company and had spent several years in his sprawling estate before he was brought to the zoo about 130 years ago," West Bengal Forest Minister Jogesh Barman said.
"We have documents to prove that he was more than 150 years old, but we have pieced together other evidence like statements from authentic sources and it seems that he is more than 250 years old," he said.
The minister said details about Addwaitya's early life showed that British sailors had brought him from the Seychelles islands and presented him to Clive, who was rising fast in the East India Company's military hierarchy.
Thursday, the tortoise's enclosure wore a deserted look.
"This is a sad day for us. We will miss him very much," a zoo keeper said.
Wild Aldabra tortoises are found in the Aldabra island in the Indian Ocean Seychelles islands. They average about 120 kg (265 pounds). It is believed that tortoises are the longest lived of all animals, with life spans often surpassing 100 years.
How great is that? An incredible animal that lived that long. Can you imagine the things this creature would have seen and experienced?
It is, however, a good thing that humans don't live this long. With the planet being fairly overrun with a majority of "stupid people", as the ones I witnessed today, I can't imagine a bunch of these mental "dumb asses" being around 50 years, let alone 250 years!
Long live all the animals big and small!

Santana Speaks! Almost Like The 60's!
Carlos Santana Speaks Out Against Bush
LIMA, Peru (AP) - Carlos Santana quoted his old friend Jimi Hendrix in an anti-war message here Monday and said his philosophy is the antithesis of President George W. Bush's.
"I have wisdom. I feel love. I live in the present and I try to present a dimension that brings harmony and healing," the 58-year-old rock icon said. "My concept is the opposite of George W. Bush."
Santana, speaking to Peruvian journalists ahead of a Tuesday concert, said young people's opposition to the war in Iraq is reaching the dimensions of the anti-Vietnam war sentiment in the 1970s.
"There is more value in placing a flower in a rifle barrel than making war," he said. "As Jimi Hendrix used to say, musical notes have more importance than bullets."
In 1971, Santana was prevented from performing in Peru by the military dictatorship, which deemed his music an "alienating" force. Santana returned to perform in 1995.
A voice from the past is still relevent today! Though Jimi is no longer with us, his music and words live on, as they should. Thank you Carlos Santana for being a voice of yesteryear and today.
Now, only if I could get Carlos to do some serious guitar playing stuff and stop jerking around with these pop singers, then, we would be on a serious high!
Only the STUPID PEOPLE can't relate to Carlos Santana!SANTANA

Stupid In Israel
Conviction in body enlargement scam
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli court sentenced a man to two years in prison Sunday for operating a fake clinic that offered penis enhancements and so-called medical treatments to make people taller, which failed to work.
Simon Sofer told dozens of clients he was a doctor and said he could add up to 10 cm (3.9 inches) to their height or six cm (2.4 inches) to their genitals, the Tel Aviv court said.
His clinic, in operation since 1999, was not medically supervised, a government prosecutor had told the court.
Sofer has appealed the conviction. He pre-charged patients 5,250 and 16,000 shekels ($1,125 and $3,430) to increase their height with a Russian-made treatment method.
He told the court genitalia enlargements were not performed, despite advertisements that promised them.
People who sought to become taller were suspended from the air by their arms and legs, or had their bodies stretched with weights. Others were poked with needles or given food supplements and exercises to perform at home.
"Only a lunatic could take a person who has not been checked (by a doctor) and hang him upside down," the court in a transcript quoted a witness as saying at one trial session in February.
The court said Sofer had endangered the health of his clients and that none had received their "expected" result.
A judge sentenced him to two years jail, taking into account he had no criminal record and lives with his mother, who supports him financially.
The court gave no age for Sofer.
See, this is what this site is about, "stupid people". However, the idiots that paid this NORK(nork is a combination nerd and dork)are more stupid than he is. Listen, I give this loser credit. Hell, if you want to float some stupid crap like this, and, if people are ignorant enough to buy in, go for it! Until you get busted that is.
Don't you buy in and become one of the "Stupid People".

Happy "I Have An Excuse To Get Drunk" Day
I know that today is your day to get totally inebriated in the name of a saint. So, I will keep this fairly short. As you well know, the Earth is being overrun with stupid people. Therefore, I will give some of you enough knowledge that you might not be considered stupid anymore.
March 17th was the day St. Patrick set aside as the day for the "religious feast" in Ireland. It was, in essence, a religious holiday. March 17th also marks the anniversary of the death of St. Patrick in the 5th century.
The 1st St. Patrick's Day parade was March 17, 1762 by Irish soldiers in New York City to show their unity and traditions of their homeland. St. Patricks Day is now celebrated in the United States, Australia, Japan, Ireland, Canada, Russia and Singapore. Until the 1970's, pubs in Ireland were closed on St. Patricks's Day as it was still celebrated as a religious holiday. In 1995 though, the government basically said, "let's get it on, partyyyy".
One last note, then you can go and get wasted. St. Patrick did not chase the snakes out of Ireland. How do I know this? Yo, dumb ass, "THERE WERE NOT ANY SNAKES IN IRELAND! However, you see the picture of the "bushmaster" on this page? Go to south Central America or northern South America and try to drive this bad boy somewhere. It will tune you up bigtime! However, you drink enough of that "green grog", you might be stupid enough to try it. Here is something for you to do if you are bored and want to see what kind of poisonous snakes can jack you up anywhere on the planet.

Marijuana? Memory? Where'd I Leave My Bong?
Marijuana again tied to memory problems
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who regularly smoke marijuana may find their memories growing hazy over time, a study published Monday suggests.
In a study of long-term and shorter-term marijuana users, researchers in Greece found that both groups performed more poorly on tests of memory, attention and other cognitive abilities than a comparison group who'd only occasionally used the drug.
Long-term users - who'd smoked four or more joints per week for at least 10 years - showed the greatest deficits.
The findings, published in the journal Neurology, add to the conflicting body of research on the effects of marijuana on the brain. While many studies have suggested that long-time pot smoking dulls memory, attention span and mental acuity, some have found no large differences in these skills between marijuana users and non-users.
One recent analysis of 15 studies found only minor effects on memory among long-time pot users, and no clear effect on attention, language, reasoning and a number of other cognitive functions.
One problem is that it's difficult for studies such as the current one to establish a definite cause-and-effect relationship between marijuana and intellectual deficits, Dr. Lambros Messinis, the study's lead author, told Reuters Health.
Though the researchers accounted for a number of variables -- like education, use of other drugs and the presence of clinical depression -- it's tough to control for all the factors that could make heavy marijuana users different from other people, according to Messinis.
Still, he and his colleagues say, their findings are in line with certain past studies linking heavy, long-term pot smoking to "subtle" deficits in intellectual abilities.
The study included 40 marijuana users ages 17 to 49 who were in a drug abuse treatment program; all had used the drug frequently for at least five years, but half -- those considered long-term users -- had smoked for 10 years or more. They were compared with 24 adults the same age who had used pot no more than 20 times in their lives.
Overall, both long- and shorter-term marijuana users performed more poorly on tests of memory, attention and mental-processing speed. The proportion of study participants deemed "impaired," according to the researchers, was highest in the long-term group and lowest in the comparison group.
Long-time pot users showed the greatest problems on tests where they were asked to learn and remember a series of words. They were "significantly" below the published norms for these tests, according to Messinis and his colleagues.
It's not yet clear whether the intellectual deficits linked to marijuana are lasting, Messinis said, but research "generally supports" the notion that these problems are reversible after longer periods of abstinence. People in his study were required to have been abstinent only for the 24 hours before taking the tests.
Another unknown, according to Messinis, is whether marijuana use at a young age may affect the brain differently than use during adulthood. Knowledge in this area, he said, is still "poor."
Okay, now I know I had something to say, but, I'll be damned if I can remember what it was!
I mean, is this study whacked or what? There is more stuff these dudes don't know or aren't sure of, then they know. What the hell is that? Personally, I think they were doing more toking than studying. Hell, drink too much and your memory gets stupid. Am I supposed to believe these guys study is a revelation?
Since we are on the topic of herb, chronic, tree, weed, hippie lettuce, marijuana or, whatever you want to call it, I have a question. Why is the pot not legal? You think it might just have something to do with cash money? Of course! More than likely, the tobacco and liquor industries would take major hits. WHY? Herb is to easy to grow on your own. Who the hell is going to pay corporate for grass when you can grow it yourself? ALMOST ANYWHERE! As for the liquor industry, when you are hitting a bongDr Bongs Cannabis Emporiumyou are NOT guzzling scotch, bourbon, gin or rum. Does not mix well. However, fine wine, or, cheap wine, works just fine with a joint.
Another point to consider in this day and age is, can you imagine trying to fight terrorism etc with a military stoned out on "whacky weed"? You see what happened to the American Indians that tried to fight the calvary after messing with peyote! You start hallucinating and feeling good and the next thing you know, the enemy is all over your ass. That ain't gonna work.
So, in closing, we just have to take what we can get and make the best of it. Or, move to Amsterdam.Amsterdam.info » Amsterdam pictures » Coffee shops and coffeeshopsRemember, enjoy yourself, but, don't screw up and become one of the STUPID PEOPLE!
Pissed Off Sore Loser
'Brokeback' Author Peeved About Oscar Loss
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Annie Proulx, whose 1997 short story inspired the film "Brokeback Mountain," has penned a scattershot blast in a British newspaper unleashing her anger over the film's best-picture Oscar loss.
Proulx criticizes Oscar voters and the Academy Awards ceremony in the 1,094-word rant, which appeared in Saturday's issue of The Guardian, a liberal paper boasting 1.2 million readers daily.
The best-picture Oscar went to "Crash," which focuses on race relations in Los Angeles.
Academy members who vote for the year's best film are "out of touch not only with the shifting larger culture and the yeasty ferment that is America these days, but also out of touch with their own segregated city," Proulx writes.
The 70-year-old Pulitzer-prize winning author points out that "Brokeback," which was nominated for eight Academy Awards, was named best picture at the Independent Spirit Awards one day before the March 5 Oscars.
"If you are looking for smart judging based on merit, skip the Academy Awards next year and pay attention to the Independent Spirit choices," Proulx advises.
She even lashes out at Lionsgate, the distribution company behind "Crash."
"Rumour has it that Lionsgate inundated the academy voters with DVD copies of Trash - excuse me - Crash a few weeks before the ballot deadline," Proulx writes.
She decries the "atmosphere of insufferable self-importance" inside the Kodak Theatre, the Oscars site, and describes the audience as a "somewhat dim LA crowd." The show, she writes, was "reminiscent of a small-town talent-show night."
"Clapping wildly for bad stuff enhances this," Proulx writes.
She notes that "Brokeback's" three Oscar wins, for original score, adapted screenplay and direction for Ang Lee put it "on equal footing with King Kong."
When Jack Nicholson announced "Crash" as the best-picture winner, "there was a gasp of shock," Proulx writes.
"It was a safe pick of 'controversial film' for the heffalumps," she writes, using the elephant-like "Winnie the Pooh" character to describe academy voters.
"For those who call this little piece a Sour Grapes Rant," Proulx concludes, "play it as it lays."
Calls by the Associated Press to Proulx's Wyoming home and her literary agent, Elizabeth Darhansoff, were not immediately returned Tuesday.
Now why would anyone think this is a "sour grapes" rant? Get over yourself, bitch! You wrote a "nice" little story. It was made into a "nice" little movie. HELLO! The movie was about two gay cowboys! You ever stop and think, that maybe, just maybe, the whole world is NOT INTO 2 GAY DUDES on screen! Regardless of the "artistic value", you're subject matter is still TABOO in many circles. Also, ever stop to think or, consider the fact that outside of the numerous "alledgedly" gay movie critics, not as many people thought your movie/story was all that? And obviously, in the real world of make believe, "Crash" is a better movie according to the vast majority of academy voters.
So, in closing, you and all your "diversified followers" etc., GET OVER IT! By the way, you are NOT in the same category as "KONG". King Kong was much better!
PS:I am NOT some homophobic gay basher. However, I am over certain groups of people thinking that "because it is gay, it is special and deserves a special treatment or place". Don't think so!

Baseball, Steroids & Lindsay Lohan
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Barry Bonds' pursuit of the home run record might have been juiced after all.
According to an upcoming book written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters, Bonds used a vast array of performance-enhancing drugs - steroids, human growth hormone, insulin - for at least five seasons beginning in 1998.
An excerpt from "Game of Shadows," which lays out extensive details of the slugger's alleged doping program, appears in the March 13 issue of Sports Illustrated.
The reason I am on this story is, because baseball has always been my favorite sport. Probably because I was a really good player. Always made the all star team and, even made All State in New Jersey a couple of times. Pitched back to back "no hitters" in my first year in American Legion ball. Yeah, I was good. And was not doing performance enhancing drugs!
The thing that bothers me the most about all this steroid stuff is the fact that some of these "artificially enhanced idiots" numbers are over shadowing the legitimate numbers put up by the likes of Hank Aaron, Roger Maris, Babe Ruth, George Foster, Willie Stargell, Willie Mays etc. Which is a slap in the face of some of the "greats" of the game, the American pastime, baseball!
Listen, I know some of you don't care. All you want to do is see the ball fly out of the park. Hey, that's cool! However, don't give me that bullshit that Barry Bonds' home runs are as legit as Aarons. That goes for Maguire and Sosa also. You want to acknowledge them and their achievements, fine, have a separate set of records and a separate hall of fame. The chemically enhanced baseball stats and stars and, the real baseball stats and stars.
For you people that are too ignorant, or, in self denial about your favorite steroid using player, DO NOT run that crap on me about "well, he's never tested positive for use"! Yeah, and some large breasted overnight women have NEVER HAD BREAST AUGMENTATION surgery either! Right! Unless you are blind and have not seen the difference in Barry Bonds head size over the years, YOU are the reason the STUPID PEOPLE site exists!

Academy Awards Observations etc
Well, it's finally over! Yeah, I'm stoked. Do you have any idea how tired I am of hearing about this incredible movie called Brokeback Mountain? I was so glad it did not win best picture. Maybe, just maybe, it will go away for awhile. I don't care if it's about gay cowboys or whatever. Although, being about gay cowboys just might have had something to do with the ratings for the Oscars being down 8%! Bet there weren't a bunch of far right wing evangelicals watching that. What, with the most hyped film being about gay cowboys, are you kidding me? Not to mention that there were not a bunch of movies that the average person would give a crap about. That's kind of obvious from the past years box office totals. As of now, this years box office totals are running even lower. When will the offerings get better? Who knows.
The one bright spot from the Oscars I enjoyed was Three 6 Mafia's song, "It's Hard Out Here As A Pimp". It was nice seeing something different on a stuffy boring, for the most part, show that deserves better. What really spiced the song up was the vocals by Taraji P. Henson, the female vocalist who made her singing debut with this song in the movie "Hustle & Flow". I'm sure that whole scene was probably way to heavy for the stuffed shirt nerd so called movie critics who think their opinions and reviews are all that. If you base your movie viewing on what these wussies say or write, then YOU, are one of the STUPID PEOPLE!

More Crocodiles
Killer crocs! Head for the hills!
Though you may have managed to make it until today without hearing the news, I feel compelled to tell you that a movie about a giant, killer crocodile is currently filming in Australia It's called ROGUE and, while it surely will never approach the awesomeness that was Anaconda, it nevertheless is very likely to be crappy, campy goodness.
In fact, Touchstone Pictures is so incredibly excited about the idea of oversized, deadly crocs that they're going to make their own damn movie about them. Primeval, Touchstone's newly-announced project, tells the heart-warming story of "a news producer, reporter and cameraman who travel to South Africa on an assignment to bring back alive a 25-foot croc named Gustave." Yes, you read that right: his name is Gustave. Apparently the team is shocked that the creature would rather snack on humans than hang out with them, and things get even worse when (get this) "a feared warlord targets them for death." Warlords? A deadly crocodile named Gustave? Screw Rogue, man, Primeval is where it's at!The movie, which will star Orlando Jones and Dominic Purcell, will begin shooting in South Africa in April. There's no word yet on who will play Gustav.
People, trust me, I did not set this up to be croc week. Somehow, or another, it just worked out that way. Oh well, it's fun and takes us away from all the real life bs of crooked politicians, terrorist, neo-nazis and just plain old Stupid People!

Lying, Criminal Politicians=Re-Elected!
You know, slap me if I'm stupid. Or, am I missing something here? But, why do we have so many re-elected criminals in office? What prompts me to write this, is, Orlando City Commissioner Ernest Pages' recent faux pas with the law. Hell, didn't this dude do jail time in the 90's? Why, is he in office now? And please, don't give me that garbage about everyone deserves a second chance. And, do not compare him to Mayor Dyer or Bill Clinton. Not to say that there are not any "white" criminal politicians.
Now, you people that vote for these people are either extremely naive, or, overly stupid! How does this work anyway? Let's see, if you are "white" you blame all your misdeeds and convictions on the other political party. Even though you did time and paid fines etc. It's their fault! If you happen to be a "black" lying criminal politico, well, hey, no brainer, it's whitey's' fault! These people are such good actors, they blow this smoke up their constituents rear ends, and you "idiots" buy it.
If you have a better explanation as to why these people get re-elected, I would really like to hear it. Then I want to know what kind of hallucinogens you are on. Wake up people, free your minds, use them instead of letting them turn to mush.
(PS: I have NO idea why this picture is on this post except that it looks cool! Oh yeah, and the movie starts today March 3, 2006! I'll be there!)
