Star Wreck 6 Finally Complete
EvilNTUser writes "Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning can now be ordered on DVD, and will hopefully be shipped before 2005-09-06 unless you slashdot them (the link uses Coral). The independent movie is a 103 minute parody of Star Trek and Babylon 5, with all special effects rendered by the makers themselves. It looks like all the delays were worth it, so make sure you don't miss Captain Pirk's quest for world domination."
This is offtopic, but /. seem to have suddenly become read-only. Please mod me down if this is wrong.
I guess God wants me to get first post today.
I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
Mod this completely off topic, just wanted to be doing it since my Internet connection seems to be the only one still working. :)
I read Slashdot for the headlines, because the headlines, unlike the articles, are usually original and never duplicated
30 minutes since posting and no comments. Interest for Star Wreck seems low...
Stupid stupid stupid stupid.
How do you think the Senators get to be the rich white men they are?
I see, so they start off poor and black or hispanic, then get elected to an office, get bribes, get rich and get surgery to become white. I never knew about this facet of politics. You've really opened my eyes.
Hey ... Count the number of hispanic or black senators. Start with the black ones, as they're easy to spot. How many do you see? I see one. One in a hundred. How many have there been total? Three?
Compare that to the number of senators from "well to do" white families. You know, the type that mommy and daddy's wealth paid for their college education (in an ivy league school) after which they were put in charge of mommy and daddy's big company, holdings, etc.
Want to make a bet its greater than 2/3?

What does that have to do with anything? Sure rich, white people are more likely to become senators, or politicians in general. I think that is a far cry from saying politicians become rich and white and men because of bribes. Bribes can make you rich, but adding in white and men is ridiculous. It is simply an attempt to bring racism and sexism into the issue to try and evoke some sort of emotional response. It is also very funny due to the way it was phrased. To answer the question, I think they were mostly born white and men (maybe a few had surgery) and most were born rich. Bribes might make them more wealthy, but rarely does it make them wealthy in the first place. It never makes them white or men.
