Is there a compelling reason to make us start at the end of the article? Other than possibly heading off a hundred "WHY ISN'T THIS ARTICLE ALL ON ONE PAGE?!" posts, I mean?
You mean things like providing a never ending stream of very real examples of how America wants to meddle in internal Cuban affairs, thereby providing an instant excuse to play the nationalist "they want to topple your government from Washington! Ignore the abuses you know about and rally together as a nation to resist them as a people!" card?
My good man, you can say what you want about The Carpenters, and you can mock Neil Diamond all you want, but I will DAMNED well not sit here and allow you to say another unkind word about Barry Manilow. The man wrote the Band-Aid song, you Philistine! THE BAND-AID SONG!!
Harrumph.

You burn it and send Sabbath a check, as I had nothing to do with it and have no claim to their cash. If the boys in the band like their arrangement with the label then they'll kick back some of the money. If not, then their beef is with the suits. Either way, I'm okay with it.
However, you should be warned that by downloading that torrent you're supporting communism, AIDS, baby rape, and late fees at video stores. I hope you're happy with yourself, you amoral hooligan.
I'm in the entertainment industry. I'm one of those corporate media whores who "hasn't come up with an original story in decades" and "keeps shoveling sellout pop shit down (your) throats" and "wouldn't know real talent if it walked up and kicked (me) in the balls." I'm part of the complex, epic machinery that creates the media that all of you "share" because it's all shit and worthless and you wouldn't bother downloading it if you weren't "sticking it to teh mang" and at the end of the day my rent and car payment and grocery store bills all depend on selling the stuff that you all pretend to loathe while you're copying it at terabytes per day.
And, sadly, all that being said I'd still rather have you guys steal all my work in "protest" than have the RIAA represent me and blame the Pirate Bay for 9/11, herpes, Ashlee Simpson's "career," and the fucking Kennedy assassination.
Seriously. I hate those assholes.
I still have rent to pay, though, so go buy a fucking CD you torrented or something, okay?
Isn't it "sine qua non," or have I been using the phrase incorrectly my entire life? A quick search for "sin qua non" leads to nothing but "sine" versions of it.
"It's totally unacceptable to print the Prophet's picture?"
Oh, really?
Centuries of your own culture's actions suggest otherwise, sweetie. Sorry to have that little inconvenient truth drag you kicking and screaming into the 20th century. Try the veal...
The campaign is described as one to 'force "consumers" to buy what clearly value enough to download by the terabyte -- corporate "content," as the Big 4 call the media that college students claim to think is all formulaic and worthless, and yet consume at an at enormous rate when it's free and easily pilferable.'
Say what you will, the way they dole out terabytes of content they didn't create to people who just want free stuff under the guise of "thumbing their nose at the media bullies" gains them no points in my book. As someone who warezed *everything* as a kid and is now trying to make a living in the arts, I find it ironic that I can't afford a hat now.
No, no, you're looking at this all wrong! This is SPLASHTOP, man! It's instant, it's hip, it's cool, it's edgy! This isn't your father's bootup, man! This is the future! It's Web 2.0 on RUBY RAILS! Don't believe me? Here's our commercial - would FALLOUT FUCKING BOY be in our commercial if this wasn't the way of tomorrow? For shizzle.
Now, about that startup money we were mentioned earlier...
Scoff if you want, as long as my little xXxSmileyMileyCheerGirl95xXx is protected by the combined powers of MySpace and the U.S. Government then I can sleep better at night knowing that nothing illegal or unsavory can happen to her person.

"It's no surprise that emotions run high when people are ripped off..."
It's not getting "ripped off," it's SHARING!
Considering it's Sony and Blu-Ray that won, I think at least one person should have the stones to mod the parent +1 insightful.
I'll do you one better. You go here...

Or at least a breathless rundown on the Al Quaeda-inspired plot to ram dozens of wiggly pink cocks into the CIA's virtual headquarters in Second Life.

You keep using that word...

How can you post something like that on MLK day?
(I expect at least one mod point for not forcing a really clunky "I have a d-ram" joke...)
...when it was called "Pasty White Female."
Yeah, sorry about that. I've been meaning to change that for *months*. I guess I have to now that you've called me out on it...
Just had to get that off your chess, didn't you?

Goblet of Fire was pretty awesome, but it's no Deathly Hallows.
