• Commented on Showdown at the 4chan corral: Doug Rushkoff
  Hrm, 4chan and hackers? Sounds like Rushkoff is on the right path. Deep down, the word is they are lead by a guy called, Jeff K. He is a cross between a religious guru and a super hacker. They say...

• Commented on Half-billion-dollar expansion for Hong Kong Disneyland
  I dunno, at this point Disney has lost any advantage it has because its needs to be a dependable stock, not a successful corporation. A friend of mine who worked for QA on their products was constantly galled by this....

• Commented on Production stills from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
  Man, Burton is repetitive. He has been dressing Johnny Depp up in roughly the same makeup since 1990. News flash, 1990 was 19 years ago. Sure the hues may have changed, but the scheme is generally the same. Now I...
• Commented on Lutheran Halal cafe
  I can't help but wonder: -Do seniors pay on Spaghetti nights every Wednesday. -No pork with the Saturday morning pancake breakfast? -Is a jell-o mold still a sin even if it isn't in the shape of a man or a...

• Commented on Justin (aka "Tsimfuckis," aka "Tsimfuckus," aka "chick3n little.")
  For all of the freak show comments I have only this to say. Some years ago, while in college, I worked with kids who had special needs. Some were high level behaviorals, others were isolated because of health concerns and...
• Commented on Life Inc: a book against corporatism, published by a corporation
  "If conservatives got their open marketplace and maintained a truly hands- off approach, most of the corporations they seek to liberate from government control would cease to exist." Ya know, then you hear someone say something that you have been...
• Commented on Congress proposes anti-DRM law for cars
  OK, so who is rich and powerful enough to get something out of this? Somebody has to have been given a free pass to conquer their little part of the world. I mean, nobody gives anything away for free. Ahh...

• Commented on Cat Shit One, the animated trailer
  I can't say that I'm very enthusiastic about this. The manga kinda had the idea that switching out people with animals helps the reader remove a certain racial bias while exclaiming national difference. Having not seen it I can't help...
• Commented on Anti-capitalists Attack Banker's Home and Mercedes: "This is Just the Beginning."
  When I saw the phrase "Daily Mail" I automatically questioned the idea that these people are "anti-capitalist". I also immediately questioned if the Royal Bank of Scotland, bankers, Mercedes, bricks, glass and homes exist. I mean, seriously, it was in...

  @#47, Why bother with some kind of Earth-bound air conditioning? There are plenty of cold spots in the universe. If we are talking about something that hasn't even been proven to work on humans why not throw in the million...

• Commented on New Rochelle school board mutilates books to protect children
  @2, I'm sure the schools know what kind of things their students are getting up to. The problem is when a kid gets caught and their first response is, "well, it was what they were teaching us in the school"....
• Commented on South Carolina sheriff buys tank to conduct raids
  Kind of an old story. So far the only thing this has been good for is local TV news fodder. @Steaming Pile, I couldn't agree more. With SLED keeping plenty of resources less than 20 miles away, it seems like...
