If I told you I would give you $10 for a $1 bill, would you take it? I just sent the $1 to your Nigerian address. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Don't understand why slashdot would ignore a story about someone who pretty much revolutionized how we listen to music. Time for slash to get new editors again.
It's because they're not as smart as you.
just look at all these teen mothers who get stuck with some looser who refuses to get a job and provide for the family, they often get abused in the process too. They know it sucks yet they refuse to leave. It is the same thing. It happens quit often! and it usualy isn't because of the guy having a big dick either. Please, there's no need to bring race into this.
The festival felt that it would offend more people than it interested, and would push away more visitors than it would attract. This is a private game festival making a sound business decision about one of the entries. It was not a sound business decision at all because they just compromised their brand. This is a festival that was partially inspired by the courage of the creators of South Park & whose entire reason for existing was to provide an outlet for artists rejected by the mainstream film community (symbolized by the Sundance Film Festival). These values are what has attracted participants and viewers to the festival.
A festival built on the motto "By Filmakers, For Filmakers" that sacrifices an author's work for an audience makes itself obsolete.
"Sure, centuries from now our great-great-great-grandchildren will look back at us with amazement at how we could allow such a precious achievement of human culture as the telling of a story to be shattered into smithereens by commercials, the same amazement we feel today when we look at our ancestors for whom slavery, capital punishment, burning of witches, and the inquisition were acceptable everyday events."
