Hollywood is creatively dried up and bankrupt.
Just look at the latest monstrosity. Battleship?! A movie about that silly pen&paper game?! What the hell, Hollywood.
What I don't understand is how Congress can be so brazen about their corruption. It's so blatantly obvious, and yet none of them face any charges whatsoever.
If you're not with him, you are obviously against him. This AC is like a stubborn mule, no matter how much evidence against his statements you bring, he'll shout "EEYAH! EEYAH!" I mean "No, I'm always right, therefore you're wrong!"
The Almighty Squiggle Line probably believes that "English" is a proper Noun, deserving of a capital Letter. Your Obeisance to the Almighty Squiggle Line was wise, young Grasshopper. :)
Oh no, the book contained the word "naked".
Clearly that's pornography.
US culture strikes me as rather peculiarly puritan. Guns and violence galore on tv, video games and in graphic novels. And kids can watch, play and read that all they want. But as soon as there's even 1 nipple in it, it becomes "BURNINATE ALL THE TEEVEE, VIDJEMAGAMES, BOOKS!" in a hurry.
A Dutch politician blamed "open source society" (his term) for the failing of ACTA, yesterday during a program on counterfeiting goods, and the importing of illegal drugs.
Without mentioning the other side of the argument that the law was badly written, poorly constructed, and intentionally broad and vague.
He was there to put the blame on 'open source society' that we get fake drugs on the Dutch market, that you can buy off shady websites.
The program ironically showcased people doing work at the border and post-agencies on preventing that kind of import from happening, while claiming that nothing could be done against the importing of illegal/contraband/fake goods and drugs.
It was a shoddy piece of work, and basically was used to instill fear, uncertainty and doubt, and to promote the goodness that was ACTA.
I was ashamed that my tax euros were used to fund that program (it was on public tv, that's funded through our taxes)
