Deep Thought

This is an interesting take on the Star Wars story.

Of note, the changes that George Lucas has made since the original has come out have had the effect of dehumanizing the troops of the Empire, in the original cut of Episode IV, you had Stormtroopers screaming as the fell, but now they are just a bunch of clone automatons.

I think that his idea was to make it more family friendly,* but what it has really done is to remove any element of the basic costs and immorality of war from the story.

Now all the damage is done to robots and clones, who, after all, aren’t people.

This is why dumbed down child friendly pap is frequently not only, not child friendly, but actually immoral.

*Much like he did in the infamous Christmas special.

Barack Obama is Tired of Your Motherf%$#ing Sh%$

April Winchell, the “21st funniest person in Los Angeles,” has uncovered a gem.

In Barack Obama’s memoir, Dreams From My Father, he quotes some of his friend Ray, who, “Cursed like a Motherf^%$er.”

Well, that’s not special, except for the fact that Barack Obama recorded the audiobook, so you can go to Ms. Winchell’s site, and hear Barack Obama saying things like, “There are white folks, and then there are ignorant motherf%$#ers like you.”

Snerk.

Stephen Colbert Answers the Question

The W0rd is: Straight to Video

You see, the teabaggers are accusing of Lindsey Graham of making nice with the Democrats because he is being blackmailed because he’s gay.

Colbert’s solution, Lindsey Graham needs to release a heterosexual sex tape.

It’s a reasonable suggestion, but I’m not sure that making such a tape is even remotely possible.

The Ultimate Hitler/Downfall Parody

I was thinking about putting up the Youtube (link), but by the time most of my readers saw this, it would be taken down.

There should be penalties for misusing takedown notices, something statutory, on an escalating scale, since this is only 3:50 of a movie, and a parody, and as such it should be fair use.

I am not suggesting that Youtube be sued, but I am suggesting that Constantin Film AG is breaking the law, and should be subject to sanctions, by issuing clearly illegal take-down notices.

In an interesting irony, this may be the best Hitler Parody ever.

OMFG!!!!! Epic Fail!!!!

Fighting the Kha’ak, who lack staying power

You know, it’s not, “All Your Base Are Belong To Us,” but in naming the alien race in X3: Reunion the Kha’ak, pronounced “kawk”, it appears that someone has seriously jumped the shark.

The developers are German, and the dialogue, which explains why they don’t understand when a native English speaker might find it amusing when a character in the game says that, “The Kha’ak are not interested in dialogue,” though it does ring true.

I’m sure that this mirrors my wife’s, as well as my XGF’s experience.
