MPAA Names Dan Glickman To Replace Jack Valenti

Posted by timothy on Thursday July 1, 2004 @10:53AM from the mouthpiece-is-a-euphemism dept.

Zordak writes "Fox News is reporting that the MPAA has chosen a new chief to replace Jack Valenti. Dan Glickman is an avid Linux user, a well-known consumer advocate, vehemently critical of the DMCA and a member of the EFF. Ha ha. Just kidding, Dave Barry style. Dan Glickman is actually a seasoned Washington politician, having served as a Kansas representative and agriculture secretary under President Clinton. He has previously been a lobbyist for the Walt Disney Corporation, and his son is the producer of such quality fare as 'Shanghai Knights' and 'Rush Hour.' Don't be looking for that 'approved' Linux DVD player soon."

You know you're a loser when you fail a THIRD post.

Dumbass.

At least put some effort into it. I miss "Darth Failure", the "You fail it rebel scum!" always got a laugh out of me. Do something like "YOU FAIL IT, YOUR FAILURE HAS BEEN RATED 'YFI' BY THE MPAA" or something. A spartan 'YFI' post is boring.

" You know you're a loser when you fail a THIRD post."
Good on 'em... their loser-ness not only got me bumped up to first post, but got me modded up a point by making me look like a bloody genius in comparison. (Woulda made first post quite by accident had I been logged in when I hit the reply button).
Jackie Chan? by Penguinshit · 2004-07-01 11:04 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Come on.. lay off Jackie Chan.. those movies were pretty funny (especially Rush Hour).

Jackie Chan kicks ass (literally). And he has the balls to do his own stunts (and get injured doing them).

  Who the hell modded this off-topic?
  
  Allow me to quote from the header:

  It may not be the main topic, but it's not completely off-topic...
