  1. Kind of annoying to watch, even if you are a cat lover. Perhaps, the lyrics here are more appropriate for our Slum G :lol:

    Highway To Hell

    Living easy, livin' free

    Season ticket, on a one - way ride

    Asking nothing, leave me be

    Taking everything in my stride

    Don't need reason, don't need rhyme

    Ain't nothing I would rather do

    Going down, party time

    My friends are gonna be there too

    I'm on the highway to hell

    Highway to hell

    I'm on the highway to hell

    Highway to hell

    No stop signs, speedin' limit

    Nobody's gonna slow me down

    Like a wheel, gonna spin it

    Nobody's gonna mess me 'round

    Hey Satan! Paid my dues

    Playin' in a rockin' band

    Hey Mama! Look at me

    I'm on my way to the promise land

    I'm on the highway to hell

    Highway to hell

    I'm on the highway to hell

    Highway to hell

    Dont stop me!

    I'm on the highway to hell!

    I'm on the highway to hell!

    I'm on the highway to hell!

    I'm on the highway to hell!

    And I'm goin down..all the way!

    I'm on the highway to hell..

  2. Keanu got his real jump start from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures, a film which lay dormant on the defunct shelves of DeLauurentiis Entertainment for over a year before some bright dude :bigsmile: at Orion Pictures tracked it down and picked it up as an acquisition. Luck plays a big factor in Hollywood, but I think Keanu would have landed up no matter what - he's an interesting guy who chooses interesting projects and he's charasmatic

  3. Game's Black Wall Street headquarters in Compton were targeted last week. The six adjacent homes owned by the rapper were fired upon on Thursday, a source close to that situation said. Details of the shooting are still vague, though Game was not there at the time. 

    He owns 6 homes and his first album was just released? Anyway, I dont think selling millions of albums is worth having your home shot at, let alone 6 of 'em

  4. Slate's Dana Stevens, a screenwriter (and an acquaintance of mine), decided to call "Jeanne Hopkins, communications director for WGBH in Boston, where "Postcards from Buster" is produced" to get the lowdown. Here is the interview in full:

    What is the specific nature of the content that the Secretary of Education is objecting to? What exactly happens in "Sugartime!"?

    The animated character Buster Baxter meets real kids. In this episode he is in Vermont ... [he] meets kids with two moms. The moms are not central to the story, the kids are. But their family structure seems to be what has triggered the concern.

    Is there any nudity in "Sugartime!"?

    No.

    Is there any sexual contact between the two women? Romantic contact? Do they kiss, touch, grope each other onscreen?

    No, no, no, no and no.

    Is the word "lesbian" or "gay" ever used in the episode?

    No, no.

    How about "dyke"?

    No.

    How do we know that the couple pictured are lesbians?

    One of the kids introduces her mom and stepmom, and Buster comments that she has a lot of moms. That's pretty much it. Remember, this is a show from a kid's point of view, not an adult's.

    Is "maple sugaring" actually code for some sort of sexual practice between women?

    Not that we uncovered.

    Is the lesbian couple married under Vermont's civil union law? Does the issue of marriage come up in the episode?

    There is no mention of the women's status and marriage is not mentioned. We know from meeting and talking with them off-camera that they are in a civil union.

    In the Buster theme song, Wyclef Jean sings : "He's got his camera /And he's gonna explore /All the neat things he's never done before." By showcasing a lesbian couple in this episode, is PBS promoting a homosexual agenda by implying that two women living together as domestic partners is a "neat thing" that children should "explore"?

    No, we are not promoting anything. Buster visits kids whose parents are divorced, too—we're not promoting that either. Buster is exploring the neat things that kids all over this country do, and experience, and can teach each other.

    As one of Bush's senior domestic policy advisors, Margaret Spellings was once interviewed on C-Span about some census data that indicated a decline in traditional family structures. She answered, "So what?" and added that, as a single mother, she understood that there were "lots of different types of family." How do you explain Ms. Spellings' shift on this issue since she assumed office as Secretary of Education on Monday?

    We cannot explain, nor would we try.

    What do you think is really at stake when the new Bush administration picks an issue like this to set the tone for the next four years? Is the government trying to find excuses to withdraw funding from public television? Or is this just a symbolic bone thrown to the Christian right? What do you think is going on?

    It's not clear to us what this means. ... 4:43 p.m.

  5. doe.jpg"Postcards from Buster" originally scheduled to air February 2, the titular animated bunny visits a Vermont family headed up by … well, we're all adults here, so let's just say it: two mommies. Brand-new Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, who just took office on Monday, has already sent a letter to the producers decrying the episode, which is entitled "Sugartime!" Though, as this CNN story notes, the show's "focus is on farm life and maple sugaring," Spellings has insisted that the seal of the Department of Education be removed from the offending program, along with any statement suggesting a link between the two. She also requested that PBS give member stations a heads-up on the content of "Sugartime!", so they can decide for themselves whether to air it or not. Finally, she has suggested that PBS return any government money used to produce the episode, noting sternly that "You can be assured that in the future the department will be more clear as to its expectations for any future programming that it funds."

  7. An Effort to Help Free-Software Developers Avoid Suits

    By STEVE LOHR

    February 1, 2005

    Freely distributed open-source software like the Linux operating system has become increasingly popular, but one cloud over its future has been legal risk. So far, most of the lawsuits have involved claims that software code owned by someone else found its way into a cooperative programming project.

    A nonprofit legal center opening today, backed by $4 million in initial financing from a corporate consortium, will provide advice from specialists that is intended to minimize the risk that developers and users of free software will be sued.

  8. IT'S OFFICIAL! FRANCE STINKS!

    In an announcement which is stunning the world, France has decided to change its name permanently to Stinkland.

    The French Cabinet's Council of Ministers unanimously voted in favor of the change, which will take effect on Bastille Day, July 14th.

    According to Council spokesperson Jacques Mouffette, "Our country is so well known for its pungent aromas -- our runny cheeses, spoiled meats, overflowing sewage systems, and citizens who don't bathe or use deodorant -- that we decided to capitalize upon it with the name change."

  9. Study finds abstinence programs haven't influenced TX teens

    By The Associated Press

    (01/31/05 - DALLAS, TX) — Abstinence-only programs like those promoted by the Bush administration don't seem to be working on teenagers in the president's home state, according to a state-sponsored study by Texas A&M University researchers.

    The ongoing study, the first evaluation of the abstinence programs across the state, found that students in almost all high school grades were more sexually active after undergoing abstinence education.
