#1470: The Burning
Cropsy is the caretaker for Camp Blackfoot and one night, a scheming bunch of campers decide to pull a prank on ol’ Cropsy.   Cropsy also has the best killer name evah, because Cropsy sounds like the name of a drunk hobo. Okay, so Cropsy kind of is a drunk hobo, but those wacky campers are about to scare him.   What they don’t know is that they might scare him…to DEATH!   (Insert ominous music here.) The campers sneak into Cropsy’s tiny cabin and place the following by his

Thai film festival looking for makeover
The sixth Bangkok International Film Festival is looking to reinvent itself after years of declining red-carpet glamour and an embarrassing graft case involving the US Justice Department. The festival, which organisers once hoped would rival South Korea's showy event in the port city of Busan, has lost much of its flash, a lot of its funding and has once again become embroiled in a censorship row. "A couple of years ago, when they were dumping money into it, they might have been

The World from Berlin: Knowing When to Reach for the Fire Extinguisher
Ireland's unilateral decision to guarantee all deposits has ignited a banking firestorm. The EU is calling for member states to wait for a unified response. Fearing that they might have to assume much of the risk, German commentators are not thrilled about the current round of EU proposals. DPA A highly-animated European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso during Wednesday's press briefing on the financial crisis. As worries about the effects of the global financial con

Contact your lawmaker, quick
Now here’s something that will stick in your craw… Seems that congressmen and women and Senators are getting so many emails and calls about the proposed financial rescue package that they are considering limiting the number of messages they take, etc. Oh, I get it. Cut off your constituents. That’s the plan. Sounds like some poor public relations. I suspect they better get better at handling comments and conerns from the people they represent or they might just find themselves with a

Bailout, taxpayers, Wall St: Who pays?
While congressional leaders race toward a hard-fought agreement over a $700-billion bailout for the nation's financial markets, resistant House Republicans say they are in no rush to lay the burden "on the backs of American taxpayers.'' Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid today suggested that an agreement is needed by Sunday evening, in time for the opening of the world's stock markets. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested that they might vote on it Monday - "time is not our ally,'' the Kentucky

Have the Emmys Ever Made You Start Watching a Show?
At this year's Emmys, the shows that got many of the biggest awards aren't exactly winners in the ratings. Taken all together, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, In Treatment, and Damages would probably pull in only about five to six million viewers per week! Maybe that will change now, though, as the awards bring the shows more recognition and exposure. It makes me wonder: Have you ever started watching a series because it won an Emmy? Have the Emmys Ever Made You Start Watching a Show? Yes! I'll tell

Terminator: Episode 2.3, "Mousetrap" Recap
A TV show has to kill off characters from time to time.  They have to instill in the audience the belief that, at any time, they could call the audience's bluff and murder someone they might just care for.  Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has yet to kill a major character.  Tonight, someone did die on Terminator, but that death was largely inevitable.  However, Josh Friedman, Terminator's show runner, has stated that one of the main characters will in fact be dead by the end of t

Rock Stars Will Soon Buy Malt-O-Meal Just Like The Rest Of Us [The New Model]
With all the endless chatter surrounding the record industry's slow-motion apocalypse—downloading, business models, livestock, etc.—it's refreshing to read someone who makes a salient point. Tim Whitwell, writing in Word, puts aside tiresome ethics-of-illegal-downloading arguments and simply considers the concrete financial future of rock stars in this new era, and what they might soon have in common with the upper-middle class. I grew up assuming that anyone on tv was mind-bogglingly ri

General Hospital : Jason & Liz Vacation
Jason informed Liz that he’s going to be away for a few days. Just in time for Lucky and Sam recreation weekend with Cameron and Jake. Talk about coincidence :). This gives Liz time to spend with Jason, oh to be fre and be naked with him. And so Liz thought at first. Yes she was thinking about it. don’t be in denial :). Anyhoo, Liz thought Jason was saying goodbye to her. But stop pouting Liz. Jason asked her to go with him. A little vacation away from Port Charles, in Italy no less. If I w

Hustle Harder: Expanding Your Fan Base
I've been doing a lot of thinking as of late and one of the conclusions I've come to is that I've hit a plateau in my career. I feel that I've done everything I possibly can on this level and it's time for me to kick things up a notch. One of the key factors that will determine this, in my opinion, is expanding my fan base.Many artists I know are dealing with the same dilemma. They have a fan base or following, yet they can't break out on a larger scale. There could be several reasons for this. They could b

Bringing Back Gatsby: Brooke Geahan's Accompanied Literary Society Parties Like It's 1929
Brooke Geahan, the 20-something founder of the Accompanied Literary Society, has made a career of throwing scruffy readers and writers together with scenesters and socialites, and using the dim light of glamorous venues to make them look significantly more attractive than they might elsewhere. She was up to her old tricks on Wednesday, Sept. 25, when the Accompanied Literary Society threw a party in conjunction with Diesel, in the penthouse of a new luxury condominium in Tribeca called One York, at the inte

Worst dressed at the Emmys
In several cases lesser-known actresses wore atrocious outfits to last night’s Emmys to get press, and it worked. The others probably think they look good, and by some warped estimates they might. They’re certainly gorgeous women underneath the bad fashion, hair and makeup. In most cases. Kate Walsh - what is with that striped gown with the big bow under her boobs? At least it’s black so the giant bow is harder to see. She is wearing Zuhair Murad with Neil Lane diamonds worth a million.

Pak officials say abducted Afghan envoy "not freed" yet
Peshawar, Oct 1 (ANI): Denying reports appearing in the Pakistani media that the abducted Afghan envoy Abdul Khaliq Farahi was released on Monday morning, senior security officials in Peshawar have said that there was still no trace of the missing diplomat.

Paul Routledge Can Rejoice As Credit Crunch Banker Tops Himself
Kirk Stephenson, who was married with an eight-year-old son, died in the path of a 100mph express train at Taplow railway station, Berkshire. Mr Stephenson is believed to have taken his own life after succumbing to mounting personal pressures as the world’s financial markets went into meltdown. Believed by whom, is not said.

Eric Wareheim's Music Video For Flying Lotus Beats Around The Bush
Yesterday, a video made the rounds in which a montage of porno clips were partially covered up with cute animations, so that suddenly it looked like people were riding ponies and eating delicious sundaes instead of raw dogging it, and cetra. It was deemed safe for work, but the truth is that it was not at all SFW. I don't know where you work, but I work in my home, by myself, and that video was not safe for my work. Thumbs down, viral marketing executives at Diesel. I say, if you're going to cover up exp

How to keep your IT department happy [Silicon Valley Users Guide]
The stories of Terry Childs and Roger Duronio — resentful IT workers who wreaked vengeance on their employers — make nontechnical managers wonder what they might do differently than the City of San Francisco's Department of Technology. What does it take to keep your IT resources happy? The core issue isn't compensation, it's trust.

Salma Hayek: Broken Up But Still Getting Him To Pay For Shit
Why is Salma Hayek dressed like the woman from the Department of Youth Services who's come to collect the kids because the parents died? She needs to show off those wonder ta-tas of hers! Wait. Maybe she's totally cutting them off from Henri-Francois Pinault! He doesn't deserve to see them! They broke up! Anyway, they might have broken up, but here they are in Paris on the stroll for couture with baby Valentina. Salma worked this scheme to her full advantage.
