After 37 years as head of the MPAA, at least Valenti is going out on a high note, with most of Hollywood ticked off at him for the screener ban. bIPlog comments on Valenti's apparent agelessness."

Tauzin is a friend of the industry

[Motherfucking Shit]

If you're not familiar with Tauzin, just check out his top contributors. Which industry gave more to his 2000 campaign than any other? "TV/Movies/Music." Your hopes are dashed, I'm afraid.

BTW, is it just me or does every story submitted by "The Importance of" wind up on the front page :)
