Can you name even one of these nefarious Jew-controlled TV studios?
Warner Bros.
Of course not. You're too "special".
Well, you are the one that reads, and quotes, the word "owned", and then translates that into "nefarious controll"...
I am special: I can actually talk about sensitive subjects without relying on what I've been told to think by others, a rare gift. And unlike you, my dull friend, I can talk about them without being blinded by emotionally potent oversimplifications.
If you think that there are no owners of TV studios that are of jewish denominations, you are simply ignorant. A bit of research can solve that.
On the other hand, if you believe that people in positions of power never misuse that power for small minded and short sighted reasons, than you are an idiot...I'm affraid that's much harder to solve.
So you are trying to logically conclude that "The Jews" censored the family guy based upon your "data" point that there are more Jewish/Holocaust movies (that YOU know about, at least) vs. Gypsy/Holocaust movies?
Your grasp of logic is obviously etherial at best. You missed my point entirely and went into a very predictable troll. Don't.
Oh wait, it must be true. Seth Green is a Jew
Fascinating, yet totally unrellevant.
Yeah, and he plays Scott Evil. Yeah, another proof that Jews are trying to control the world
Whatever you say...
and put laser beams on sharks to boot.
Now come on! Everyone wants to do that, why are you making this laser shark issue a religion/race issue? You have problems man.
Now back to my point, because even though you have demonstrated in your post an severe lack of intelligence, I'll still clarify, just in case your dim wittedness is light and can let this notion penetrate through your deep layers of prefabricated troll reflexes.
The person I was responding too pointed out that a show about how Peter Griffin has preconcieved notions about persons of the jewish race/religion and their supposed inate facility with economics was censored, while a show that was equally offensive to people with handicaps wasn't. This confused him. I helpfully pointed out that for censorship to be applied, someone in a position of power must make a decision to use that power to actively censor the product in question. In this case, there are far more people in positions of power in the entertainment industry that are likely to take personnal offense at jest mentioning jews than there are that would at jest mentioning people with handicaps.
Of course, you do not posses the emotional and intellectual capacities required to understand this, all you are able to do is launch yourself in an fit about what people other than me might have said at some point that sounded vaguely like what I said. Your inability to actually understand what I wrote was sad. You, and the innumerrable masses of people like you, should learn to think before you talk/type. Of course, you would first have to learn to think...baby steps I guess.
Firefly sucked compared to what it replaced. Dark Angel was better. WAY better then Firefly.
Man, you gotta be drunk!
You mean the post apocalyptic show where a giant EMP destroyed all electronics/civilisation and EVERYONE has a pager? Computers all over the place? That show?
Where "old run down technology" is a brand new SUV with mud smudged on it?
Where they had "original" characters like freakin' Vincent from that 80's Beauty and the Beast show? He looked exactly like him had the same damn personality and the same powers! (Yeah, the beast is really a big softy, REALLY original!)
And don't forget, cat DNA means you can jump 20 feet in the air! It sure does!
Oh, and the hot star goes in heat...real classy.
What else...hey, her borrowed-womd mother looked exactly like her! Even though she had 0 relation to the baby she was carrying (not her egg)!
Dark Angel was cheap crap. It was the movie Soldier made into a TV show, with a weaker storyline and a hot chick to compensate for the total lack of originality, effort, logic, or good sci-fi. It was a festival of cliches and borrowed ideas, badly executed.
Yeah, I really wish that no caring about who threw the ball the most that day wouldn't make us second class TV viewing public.
I mean, if Nasa can have its own 24h mission controll channel when there's a shuttle up, why couldn't they have a special extra channel in wich to air their stupid ball and preacher specials?
Hell, there are specialty sports channel, have the sports on there! Make 'em non-pay-per-view when its the series or something.
Or don't advertise shows to be airing when there's sport. Don't schedule new shows when there's sports, place reruns or infomertials there, stuff no one will miss!
Of course, all of those would imply respect for the viewers, wich the networks execs clearly do not have.
I don't get the big deal about firefly it was a patent rip off of Farscape.
Lessee...
Living spacecraft? Nope. Muppets? Nope. Aliens? Nope. Stranded, confused human in a strange alien civilisation? Nope. Screeching noise passing as intro music? Nope.
Maybe the other way around...
Pilot that plays with toy dinosaurs to pass the time during spaflight? Nope. Shameless western feel? Nope. Cute geek girl? Nope. Outlaw badass captain? Nope.
it's about Peter getting into financial trouble and making a wish for a Jew to come save him, because he thinks all Jewish people are financial geniuses. I thought it was relatively tame compared to some of the other things they've done, particularly the "Special People's Games" episode.
How many studios are owned by "special people"? How many by jews?
Also applies to the number of movies about how the nazis killed Jews as opposed to the number of movies about how the nazis killed gypsies: Not many gypsie movie makers...
They produce a product which, in the end, really contributes very little to society besides, admittedly, keeping a lot of people employed.
Well, I'd say that's a pretty big contribution. Proportional to the number of people employed, in fact.
Not only that, but they fund artistic and socio cultural events too: Free outdoor concerts that advertise beer, TV shows brought to you thanks to the support of their advertisers (and sometimes, viewers like you), etc.
Sure, they are often annoying, intrusive, stupid, insulting, degrading, dammaging to the social fabric and just plain wrong, but they are not an homogenous force of evil, they contribute too, sometimes.
But anyway, my point wasn't that advertisers need to be gotten rid of - but that the Corporations have no business whatsoever trying to keep accurate and information information out of the media.
Yes. The grandparent of your post is offtopic, whereas the parent of your post is troll or flamebait (this is why we need a disgusting mod - too much kiddie porn and goatse on/. lately).
Would you please check the "No Karma Bonus" box when posting offtopic like this? That way the mods waste less points on you, you loose less karma, and I don't see you post nor feel the need to go read the trolls you are discussing just to figure out what's going on. Everybody wins.
P.S. "Troll" Applies to the offtopic porn postings, no need for a new label. They get modded down, that's all that matters.
Advertising today, however, relies far more on trickery, psychological games, and "invisible" price hikes and drops than actually producing a quality product at a competitive price. [...] Much of the reason the system seems so out of wack right now is that it's the company who has the most clever advertising that wins, NOT the one actually producing the best product.
Not that I disagree with you on principle, but:
What about the advertising companies? Their product is advertisement, you seem to not include them in your view of "the economy/the system".
You know, lots and lots of people have jobs that are directly related to advertisement: Printers that produce them, artists that make them, set painters that work on the TV shows that get us to watch TV so we'll see ads, etc.
I do not enjoy pop-ups and spam, but I don't mind that my TV talks about cars and deodorant while I'm in the bathroom, nor do I mind that there are pictures of beutifull people enjoying their cars and deodorant on the side of buses or on the wall over the urinals. In fact, once in a while, there is an ad I actually enjoy. Some bank and/or credit card had an ad about baby-carrying birds recently that was genuinly hilarious, and there's this ad for beer these days with a super hot chick in a bikini, that's allways fun.
P.S. I'm not a consumming whore. I make efforts to avoid being influenced by advertisements: I change channel whenever an ad is clearly stupid, and even when I do watch them (when they aren't painfully dumb), I avoid paying attention to the product being advertised (that is why I'm not sure what the bird+baby ad was selling). I never mention the brand when discussing an ad, unless its to diss the product and company because their ad was stupid and annoying (make 'em suffer financially for making me suffer intellectually).
He has a connection with the machines. Why is this so hard for people to understand?
Because it makes no sense.
Right now, you are broadcasting brain waves
No, I'm not.
If I were to put electrodes around your head (without penetrating your skull), we could read your brain waves. You ARE broadcasting brain waves.
You could detect electrical fluctuations on the skin wich correspond to "brain waves". They are not detectable without direct physical contact with the skin.
Why is it so hard to believe that maybe the machines could read these waves, and even communicate in reverse, thus completing a loop similar to a Matrix connection?
Ok, so they can't locate a ship full of humans and a charged EMP from 20 feet away (see first movie), but they CAN detect and send 2 way signals from a human brain many kilometers away, through miles of rock and steel...yeah...suuuuure...THAT makes sense to you? That's not sci-fi anymore, that's magic. The machines have magic powers, that's the explanation?
They stopped because Neo brokered a truce. He agreed to stop Smith if the machines would leave the humans alone. Neo succeeded, so the machines left the humans alone. This one was obvious - how could you have missed this?
So they had a deal. With a dead man. Once Neo did what they wanted, why are they honoring the deal? We are talking about machines that have laid waste to the world and have enslaved humanity. Who routinely kill off hundreds of thousands of people, who apparently NEED humans to serve as batteries or something, but they just decide to let them go and drop the war they were winning.
Read some history, don't even have to back far, read about Hitler and HIS deals and pacts of non agression, look how the powerfull behave when they make deals with the weak.
The machines turning back because they had a deal makes no more sense then having carebears show up and make them be full of love. It is irrational behaviour on their part: They were winning, all they had to do was to not turn around and give up.
But the idea that the humans were generating electricity is proposterous. I have said it since the begining of the Matrix series...
Me too. Fortunatly, there was a better explanation provided right from the start.
This story By Neil Gaiman, wich was allways available on the matrix website and is on the Matrix DVD, offers a much sensible solution. AND it is provided by an Agent of the Matrix, who actually knows what he's talking about, and not by Morpheus, who specifically states that the people of Zion don't know why the machines keep us in the Matrix, they just guessed.
They didn't have specific complaints about the storytelling, dialogue (which itself is fodder for snide commentary), action or anything but how the story played out. [...] I'm not saying that everyone who hated the movie is like that -- some of them have valid complaints
Neo has a mysterious power over the sentinels, no explanation.
Neo has a mysterious power to see "yellow code" outside of the Matrix. No explanation.
The machines are just about to destroy Zion, they turn back. No explanation.
The people in war mechas are totally exposed and don't even bother to wear a helmet. No explanation.
They changed the actress who played the Oracle: Explained over and over again for about 5 minutes.
Last night I took my wife (who I met in Bible school) to Matrix Revolutions [...] The action was awesome, so was the passion and interpersonal storyline. Neo and Trinity, Morpheous and Nairobi (sp?), Link and his wife (names?), Morpheous and Neo and Oracle, Frenchman and his wife/trophy
Hollywood formula:
Guys like to see stuff blown up and/or shot at.
Girls like to hear talk about love and to see smooching.
Religious types like to be shown crucified heroes with superimposed glowing crosses.
Mix in a bowl, spew onto audiences. Serves billions in profit.

The Matrix: Resolutions

· Score: 2, Insightful
I was confused as to how exactly Smith was stopped.
Right before Smith absorbs Neo, the Oracle talks to Neo from within Smith. That tells neo that even if smith absorbs you you can survive in him.
So Neo lets Smith absorb him, and then he does the same thing he did in the first movie after the "sleeping beuty" bit when he leaps into Smith: He destroys him from within.
And since all of the Smiths are connected, he destroys them all.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em and sabotage them from within.
What got me was the amazing ending. It was unexpected in someways, but totally made sense when you consider everything that happened in the movie.
Lets see, what happened during the movie was that the machines attacked Zion and killed everyone they saw.
What happened in the end what that they changed their mind and went home.
How did that make sense exactly?
What got me was the amazing ending. It was unexpected in someways
Lessee...Neo fights Smith, punch punch kick kick, Neo defeats Smith. Yeaaaah...unexpected...suuure... Ok, I admit it, I didn't expect to see a sample of the live action DragonBall movie inserted during the Neo/Smith fight. Goku looks good in a black trench coat tough...
Oh, I see, he's "connected" to the "source"! Wow! What a great explanation!
The source is what? He's connected how? NOT EXPLAINED!
Might have well said "just because".
They gave short stark answers which answered the questions but in a way that left it open for interpretation.
Neo: "How can I have matrix powers outside the Matrix?"
Oracle: "Because."
Neo: Nods.
Now that's an "awnser wich awnsers"!
What did Agent Smith do the the Oracle?
He absored her into the Smith collective. Same thing he's been doing to everyone he meets for the last 2 flicks.
Sure they could have gone into extensive dialog about why he needed her to defeat Neo
He was a virus absorbing everyone he met. There is no "why" to that, its what he does. He gets to have their knowledge and abilities. He absorbed the entire matrix population, not just the oracle. Didn't you notice the onlookers? Didn't they look familiar?
They did that with everything. The answers are all there
No, they're not.
answers where offered.
Tell me then, why did the big mean machines suddenly decide to become nice at the end and spare Zion and free the coppertops?
"The war is over" he says. Why? Why would they stop? Oh, they had a deal? With a dead man? Are we talking abut the same heartless machines that have enslaved humanity and that have been killing everyone they see for the last 2 hours?
For the movie to work dramatically [...] they wouldn't ruin the dramatic structure in such an obvious way.
It didn't.
How is "the bad guys get within a inch of winning and then change their mind and go home" better, dramatically, than "the first time he thought he had been shown the truth, he was still being lied to"?
I don't know about you, but when that stupid kid at the end goes around yelling "the war is over", I was asking myself "It is? Why?". Sure, Neo made a deal, but with freaking macines that have enslaved humanity. Why would they honor the deal once he's done what they wanted and he died? They don't need batteries anymore? WTF?

Problem is, you at least need a CC number to get past their automatic checks.
Not the dept spam that keeps flooding my hotmail account.
I've been bullshitting them for every message they send me since yesterday, no card number required.
I make up information for every field, I hope they have fun calling Joe Klormesnick and his imaginary pals : )
If they use web forms, they can easily tell legitimate orders from phony ones by verifying the credit card numbers, phone numbers, addresses, etc.
Still wastes their time
If enough people do it, it will become unprofitable. Isn't that the point?
No, the product that an advertising company sells are the eyeballs

You mean the ones that sent a bomb to sign in at the UN, those machines?
I hardly call that peacefull behaviour.
What part of "can of air (not shown)" did you not understand?....Oh, must be the not shown part.
I see that they changed it since.
Lil' know fact: you can change the content of a web page! Oh my!
Look at the promised Harpoon 4, 3 years of vaporware later and no game.
