They're like Al-Quaeda that way, except we don't seem to have a lot of interest in blowing them up. Therefore, I propose we have a Predator take out PETA's headquarters instead since they like to pay for ELF members' legal defense. It's like how we blow stuff up in the Mideast because it's "providing support for terrorists."
Insert obligatory cheap shot at the Bush administration here.
I know that "LOL" and "new keyboard" are pretty much the most worn out cliches on the intarwebs, but when I saw the "Autism Rocks!" logo I came within an inch of spewing coffee across my computer and LOLed so loudly that my cat flew out of the room like someone had tased him. What's next, "I have EXTREME cancer!" t-shirts?
Just in case you never saw it, here's Chet surprising Les in the middle of a song. Nice to see a look back at the times when musicians actually performed live.
Actually, it already has. There are plenty of bootleg MAME cabs out there that are running older versions with cut-down rom sets that offer a zillion games in one machine. Amusingly enough, there are forks of MAME out there that emulate these machines, so you have MAME emulating MAME emulating a game. That's so full-circle it's pretty much a Moebius strip and a divide-by-zero in one.
Which suddenly makes me think of "My Fair Lady."/singing
Porn is not illegal in the US. However, there are few lawyers willing to stake their reputations by vigorously defending porn that combines graphic depictions of sexuality and violent content and few communities willing to stand up and say that that sort of thing is within their standards. "Max Hardcore" got almost 4 years in prison for producing child pornography even though the actress was over 18.
This is America. We *love* porn... until it's the kind that doesn't turn us on. Then it's filth and should be banned.
Let's just simplify it all at no expense to the taxpayers.
Anyone who ever got an unsolicited email from Ralsky gets one shot at him. One for each email. No weapons, no tools, nothing lethal, and no closed fists. Then he goes free.
And then after a few million slaps to the nuts, we all jump up and go "HAHA! Don't you just HATE being misled!" and throw him in prison, take all his money, and give his cellmate (who has anger issues due to being conned in stock scams) a box containing his body weight in Viagra.
THEN we hang him from the nearest lamp post and burn him.
Better yet, just make an exact copy of their website, collect enough money to get one copy of each of their programs, and get it hosted at some shitty service like GoDaddy that doesn't care *what* you do as long as the check clears. Undercut their prices by a tiny bit, spam all their forums with advertisements about "sale prices" or something, and wait until a lawyer in China tries to bring suit over here. If that's the way they want to play, play the game their way.
You're expecting me to defend "Swordfish?" I couldn't do that as a director or a nerd. Gratuitous boobs *and* stupid computing? No thanks. It's enjoyable cheese, but that's pretty much it.
It may not be "graphic" by modern standards, but I think that in 1960 it was pretty jarring to see (offscreen mostly, albeit) a nude woman stabbed 40 or 50 times and then watch her blood run down the drain. In the context of this discussion, I think that qualifies as about as graphic as it gets. And in the context of the entire film (no spoilers here, but c'mon people... it's been 50 years!) there's a sexual element to that that just can't be denied.
Last swallow what bit me got 'is li'l neck broke. I'm not about to sit around and see 'ow many times 'e can do it in a second!
Of course, the game started out with people trying hard to points... players forgot how operate the paddles.
Good times. Good times. Lasting brain damage.
Clearly.

No, no. That would be The Fat Boys. We're talking about *broadband.*
You know, like The Go-Gos.
Weren't there issues with the tongue being "low resolution"
Yes, but it's 2009 now. NewEgg just started shipping HD tongues. The problem has been... licked.
I want MY America back! This isn't Nazi Germany!
...to email "you were ADOPTED and we never loved you!" to his kid?
The Band?

Who played with Yes?
What's all the fuss? Duke Nukem is one of the best-selling game franchises ever, and she looks like every third girl down at "The Bearded Clam."
Fortunately, I have no shame.
Maybe he's a coyote.

"The game in MAME is running under MAME..."
Bravo.
* Forced Entry[16]: The film depicts the beating, rape and murder of women by a serial killer, who is eventually killed by a mob of vigilantes.
"Forced Entry?" I thought that it was called "Last House on the Left?"
Oh, no, wait. You don't actually see a penis in that one, just the graphic rape and murder and torture. I certainly don't have a problem with that.
Goooooood bless America...

I assume the worst.
Voting with your iron? Sounds like what my wife did when I told her to hurry up and get my shirt pressed. My head *still* hurts!

I don't find BDSM, bukkake, bestiality, snuff films and coprophagia questionable when done by consenting adults.
You do know what snuff films are, right?
