amusingly, Mistress Cowfish reports that the first trailer has been, you guessed it, censored.
So I added a second, below it. Just scroll respectfully past the corpse…
This Film Is Not Yet Rated asks whether Hollywood movies and independent films are rated equally for comparable content; whether sexual content in gay-themed movies are given harsher ratings penalties [...]
Munch ado about something: Edvard Munch’s The Scream, one of the most popular paintings of the 19th Century, has been recaptured from its kidnappers relatively unharmed, along with The Madonna, another Muncherpiece. The Guardian has the full report:
“The pictures came into our hands this afternoon after a successful police action,” said Iver Stensrud, head of the police investigation.
There [...]
Graydon Carter’s Letter from the Editor was particularly good in this month’s Vanity Fair. In it, he said this:
“We have a president who continues to argue the fine points of what is, or is not, torture. (Remember those balmy, simpler days of our youth when we had a president who quibbled over what is, or [...]
Some days BoingBoing is just on; other days it’s eighteen posts about the project to equip yaks in the Gobi Desert with iPods and four on Disney’s Haunted Mansion. This is one of the former, thank god.
Here is the story of the famous Pickle Lamp:
HOWTO make a glowing pickle-lamp
You can make a glowing pickle-lamp by jamming power-boards [...]
Boingboing reports on the self-censorship that the NYT has engaged in and why:
NYT ad tech blocks UK web visitors from terror plot article
The NYT website is using geo-targeting ad technology to block UK visitors from accessing a news article about the investigation surrounding the alleged UK airline terror plot. The technological self-censorship is an attempt [...]
From Reporters Without Borders, via Gawker:
Dear Mr. Jobs,
Reporters Without Borders, an organisation that defends press freedom throughout the world, urges you to intercede with your subcontractor in China, the Taiwanese company Foxconn, and get it to drop its lawsuit against reporter Wang You and editor Weng Bao of China Business News (Diyi Jingji Ribao).

-I think James Wolcott is fab. [seriously, who among us doesn't have a crush on Jimbo?] I’ve tacked his contributor’s picture to my wall, and every night I read some sonnets, such as “Woman’s Constancy,” to my Little Jim, as I call him. I’ve bought these cutouts of Ken-doll clothes and sometimes dress Jim up. [...]

From a WordPress blog I can’t seem to find at the moment; sorry, if it’s you, leave a comment and I’ll update the entry.
The Simpsons theme meets capitan Kirk. Performed with Rhodes piano, Theremin and funnel.
What he does not say is that it’s performed by a COMPLETE LUNATIC! I love this whackjob, and so [...]
Stolen from Thomas Paine’s Corner (hat tip to jaq for the pointer to an immediately blogroll-worthy site).
Video, for those who can’t read without moving their lips, here. For those who can’t watch video without using their lips, there’s always Fox.
Commentary by Keith Olbermann(in the spirit of Edward R. Murrow)

The man who sees absolutes, where all [...]
Keith Olbermann’s broadcast from August 14, 2006. Think about that timing, in light of subsequent events.
From the Youtube notes:
MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann updated his top 10 list of occasions that the Bush Administration has gained political benefits around the same time that the public’s fear of terrorism was at a peak. Olbermann describes it as “The [...]
From, obviously, The Manolo, with whose suggestion we beg to differ. Seems The Hoff is looking for a lovely lady to swank with him through the sad remains of his life as a popcult oddity.
Former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff is refusing to allow his recent divorce get him down - he already has plans [...]

So there I am again, staying with James, only this time I brought my friend Katy. Because she is “new” she gets the upstairs room, which I forget to mention to her is haunted. But it is. But she doesn’t notice. Odd.
But maybe not, because there I am, staying in the basement, right [...]

So this is the story:
There I am up in Vernon, staying with my friend James. His house is haunted. I told him that last time I stayed up there, told him that not only did his new house have ghosts, but they were very pushy ghosts, poking at me every time I got [...]

It’s true. The temperate rainforest of BC is out of water, or at least Not-Ucluelet is.
What’s Not-Ucluelet, you ask? Well, it’s a wee hippie town that we’ve blogged before on here the ol’ raincoaster blog, and it’s a town that I love dearly.
But verily, it is a town overrun with tourists and incompetent or ineffectual management.
For lo, [...]

WordPress is lovely, WordPress is free, WordPress feeds orphans in Bangladesh, yadda yadda yadda.

Hey, is that Ann Coulter?
Nope, but it’s from the same era.
According to this post on the Bridlepath, this fellow and his horse, both equipped with long. luxuriant manes, are big fans of Seventies music. On their treks through the Italian countryside, they could not be without their precious tunes.
