Jack Abramoff on 60 Minutes -- the whole system is corrupt

Yogi says...

>> ^GeeSussFreeK:

Wow, I can see what they are talking about...he is really charismatic. Him talking about all the evil he did, and for some reason, it was hard to hate him...amazing.


Oh I could still kick him violently in the back of the head and feel NOTHING. I wouldn't feel anything I would just go "Oh look he's dead...whatever" and walk on.

MSNBC vs. Current TV (Blog Entry by NetRunner)

Oh okay, I see. I don't know though -- MSNBC probably should have given some coverage to OWS that night, but Steve Jobs' death is pretty darn important, isn't it? I mean, 10 years from now, people are definitely going to remember Steve Jobs. I don't know if you can say the same about OWS, which essentially strikes me as the left's answer to the tea party.

Sure, Steve Jobs' death is a worthwhile news story, but it's not like it was some unfolding event with minute-to-minute updates either. A single segment, possibly in each show would've been more than sufficient. If they really felt the need to pay a big tribute, come back in a couple weeks with a big 60 minute tribute show or something.
Oh, and yes, people will remember Steve Jobs's life 10 years from now, but most people will probably need to look up the date of his death 10 years from now.
And who knows how people will remember these protests. Maybe they'll just be a footnote in the history of the Lesser Depression. Or maybe it'll be a big factor in the 2012 election. Or maybe it'll be the beginning of some major shift in American politics. It'll almost certainly be the first two, and it might just be the third.
That's why I'm annoyed MSNBC blotted it out that night, and was slow to start covering it. They're giving it lots of coverage now, so I'm somewhat less ticked than I was when I originally put up this post, but still, it's the first real distinction I've seen between corporate MSNBC, and mostly independent Current in terms of their coverage.


I don't know -- I think their heart is in the right place, but I guess I just question the efficacy of what the OWS people are doing on a practical level. Even if they somehow succeed in getting tighter regulations on Wall Street, is that really going to do much to to fix the whole 99 vs 1 percent income disparity? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that here in Canada, we don't have the same level of unchecked financial shenanigans as you do over there, which is why we weren't hit quite as hard by the recent downturn. But our income disparity is still pretty much as bad as what it is in the States. I don't think anything short of a massive political and cultural overhaul will fix that disparity to any meaningful degree, and obviously that's not going to happen.

But maybe I have OWS all wrong -- I'll admit that I'm not the most informed guy ever.

6 Days to Air -- how an episode of South Park gets made

60 Minutes - Trey Parker & Matt Stone's Subversive Comedy

budzos says...

Hell no. I was a complete stoner of the correct age group who went to see it in theatres, and I hated Super Troopers. Total disconnect with their style of comedy here.

Team America was the funniest movie of the 00s.

I wish I could refute that...but I tried and I can't think of any other funnier movie. There HAS to be one...someone help!

Super Troopers?

Big deal, they're just walking and... Oooooh.

xxovercastxx says...

I think there should be some limits on shorter clips, at least. Something along the lines of what lucky proposed as quoted above, but maybe simpler.

Maybe something as simple as a video's got to be "long" before excerpts are allowed and an excerpt can't be more than 25% of the original. That still seems overly complicated. Maybe excerpts need to be "brief", though that would probably not fly with the pro-excerpt crowd.

Allowing a 50 minute "excerpt" of a 60 minute documentary seems really crazy to me. Why not just get rid of the dupe rule all together at that point?

It Doesn't Get Better (Christian Anti-Gay Counter-ad)

>> ^transporter:

I don't know what I love more: his hair or the backdrop.


This was all I could focus on too, and what the hell was that random switching of backdrop? I it supposed to look like he's turning to another camera, "60 minutes"-style?

So anyway , this website is run from this respectable office projected on the greenscreen eh? That probably means everything he says is true. Its a mark of credibility. Thats a fact. Look it up. In the bible.

Husky+Day9 present an Epically ending Starcraft 2 - Match

shagen454 says...

I've had some 40-60 minute games that were awkward in a bad way. This game was a lot of fun to watch. It's interesting to see really good SC2 players because they are very comfortable. It's like a dude sitting on his couch with his legs spread all over the place and one hand down his pants scratching. But, when it comes down to it they micro so well, especially when Trimaster took out those mutalisks.

Madeon - Pop Culture - Live mashup of various songs

sixshot says...

This is a VERY good mash-up. Also a bit more soothing to the ears. The stuff I heard from Girl Talk seemed louder, to the point where some parts just get boring or the music gets ignored in my head. Or maybe I prefer shorter mash-ups instead of one that spans 60 minutes.
