We're all adults here (mostly).  We're all abundantly aware that The Man forgets about things from time to time.

In fact The Man forgets about things an awful lot.

In fact to be perfectly honest, when you look at it objectively, it dawns on you that The Man pretty much only exists in your own mind.  Or so you think until you hit the business end of a billy club.

...but, er, I think you know what I am saying.

[sei]

"The Man is never here for you; The Man is only here, for you"?

[Kazz]

If you ever want to be happy again, do not click this link.

No pictures, but it is probably still the most horrible thing I've ever seen.

[Büge]

Return to your homes, citizens.

Now, if I could only find that Judge Dredd emoticon...

[Thad]

WTF, indeed

Marine throws puppy off of cliff

obligatory news article

first I've heard of this.  I just did a news search to figure out if anything's happened to figure out what the hell it's all about; you can probably predict what I found.

fuck this country.

MSNBC: one of them (presumably the one who did the actual puppy-hurling) is being discharged; the one holding the camera is being disciplined.

They got off light.  But according to an ex-Army guy I know (who managed to get off with a standard discharge after violating DADT), a dishonorable discharge means you're going to have trouble getting a job flipping burgers at McDonald's.

[Shinra]

Dishonorable Discharge is a lot like 'Killed a man in reno just to watch him die' on your criminal record, as I understand it. Technically an employer is not allowed to discriminate against you, but lol. Technically hooters can't discriminate against males applying to be  waiters.

[Thad]

R Kelly acquitted.

Everything that needs to be said already has been.

(Huey's rant at 7:10.)

...In all seriousness, it sounds like they didn't really have a choice in the matter.  His goddaughter denied she was the girl in the tape, and didn't testify.  So, video tape or no, just not enough evidence.

[Mongrel]

The sound of culture dying.

:laughcry:

[Royal☭]

Wasn't there both an Onion article and a Robot Chicken sketch about that?

Also, a Monopoly movie can only stay true to the spirit of the board game if it takes over 4 hours and leaves nobody satisfied.

[Sharkey]

Or you make your mother sit outside the theater because she's the banker and anyone with the money tray can't be trusted to actually play or be anywhere near the table, and about halfway through (four hours) you catch someone making fake hotels out of red legos and it ends in a knife fight.

[Brentai]

...that sounds like a pretty entertaining movie.

[Kazz]

Battleship seems like the worst movie premise out of the four.  Like Hunt for the Red October, except they never find each other because they are searching with cannons.

[Sharkey]

I bet I could find your mom with a cannon.

[sei]

So could the UN.

Finally, something to kill time with when I've run out of puppies to pitch off a cliff.

[sei]

So, do they blame this on Myspace or on Phoenix Wright?

[Büge]

AMA lobbying to ban home birth, blames Ricki Lake

... because she made a movie.

 

[Thad]

Clearly the AMA has too much free time.

Hey guys -- remember cancer?  Yeah.  Work on that.

[Brentai]

But... but they already cured that!

I guess "home birthing" is their next highest priority.

[Thad]

Creationist "science" teacher accused of branding cross into student's arm with an electrostatic device.

This is apparently what it takes to get fired from a teaching position in Ohio.  Keeping a Bible on his desk, teaching creationism, and saying "science is wrong" on the subject of homosexuality apparently didn't hurt his career for the past 21 years.

[Thad]

Perhaps the biggest WTF I have ever seen:

GP: Postal movie takes Best of Festival, Boll Best Director from the Hoboken International Film Festival.

I have to admit, my curiosity is piqued.

But mostly, I can't help wondering if this is some sort of elaborate joke.  Can anyone confirm that the Hoboken International Film Festival actually exists?  And doesn't give awards out of irony?
