Having not read the book, I have to gauge it by its title. "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man". Well, 3 of those things are obvious, so why did they waste the space in writing that he is "Big", "Fat", and "White"? In Moore's book of a not to dissimilar title "Stupid White Men", the title implies that the book will be about stupid white men, it is not directly in reference to anyone in particular solely based on the title.
I think that these authors are just attempting to capitalize on the success of Moore's book, while trying to get their views out there.
Personaly, I like titles that do not jump the gun and are attacks directly at certain persons.
I can see why he isn't too happy; Fahrenheit 451(at the time of writing this) enjoys a spot in Amazon.com's Top 100 Selling Books list(spot 85). Also, under Sci-Fi & Fantasy, it is ranked number 6.
Bradbury is only pissed because it isn't a limited edition hardcover that is selling for more then this $7 paperback.
"Jumps the Shark" came about when The Fonz in Happy Days jumped a shark on his surf board. It was the pivotal point noted where the show declined in popularity and quality.
Bush still has a large edge because all he has to do is cause a split in the votes between the Democrats and the Greens. He doesn't even need to do a good job of that. With the negative adds he is running, it is also encouraging people to not vote because of all of the fighting and bickering between the candidates.
So, a vote for anyone other then John Kerry is a vote for Bush, and not voting is a vote for Bush.
Let us just hope that John Kerry doesn't have any ulterior motives or wild political ideas if he is to be the next president. Otherwise, we may all be wondering "Would another 4 years of Bush been that bad?"
...sponsor some type of racing powered by fuel cells. Like Off-Shore Power Boat Racing, or anything really. That might kick in some more research dollars.
I recall a segment on Dateline or 20/20 about something like this before. It was supposed to be over coax and offer internet, tv, phone, possibly more. Each person would have their own telephone ringtone, etc. But, as we can see today, it does not exist.
Who cares if it is a monopoly as long as fair rates and fair service are provided, that is what the public services are.
(6) As confirmed by current scientific data,
repeated exposure to graphic violence and participation in violent interactive games may contribute to violent behavior by our youth and desensitizes them to acts of violence;
so, it has been confirmed that is may contribute to violent behavior, that is BS.
It has been confirmed in scientific data, that the repeated exposure to food particularly at all you can eat buffets may contribute to eating dissorders in our citizens.
then they go on to target the tv broadcasts and music lyrics. last night when i was at the bowling lanes, i was yelled at by some guy in a slipknot shirt, who apparently was christian, he was claiming that my friends and i were all Satanists, kind of hypocrytical, huh.
Also stated is that bloodshed should be a factor to limit the game to anyone 18 or older. So if some cut scene has someone getting a paper cut and it shows blood, oh no, minors cant see it, minor don't know that we are all mere mortals, minors can't handle any discision making or anything that might be emotionaly sensative, according to them. i have seen minors more capable of dealing with problems than adults.
sorry, have to stop my self, i feel like talking about fascism, but that is kind of irrelivent, maybe.
All you CS faggots out there enjoy a game that is supposed to be realistic, yet you can shoot a person in the head 3 times before they die, hit box issues are still a problem, and all those holes in there for cheaters.
Nice
I am going to go sit around at my cabin, and read Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, because my tight parents wont let me go and party in a hotel room with my friends.
