You'd have to be pretty close to certain that the smoking has lead to this cancer, surely?

From his Vanity Fair article:

"In one way, I suppose, I have been “in denial” for some time, knowingly burning the candle at both ends and finding that it often gives a lovely light. But for precisely that reason, I can’t see myself smiting my brow with shock or hear myself whining about how it’s all so unfair: I have been taunting the Reaper into taking a free scythe in my direction and have now succumbed to something so predictable and banal that it bores even me."

He doesn't expect any sympathy. In his CNN interview he does suggest to those watching that having "a few less cocktails" would be good advice...

@Krupo I guess I'm more worried about the claims Tyrsis is making than the "cops doing stuff bothers people having cocktails" argument.

I mean if it were me, I'd be pissed about having a loud and rambunctious group of people breaking out in spontaneous rendition of O Canada while I was enjoying a cocktail...

People were sitting on the patios on this posh shopping street until moments earlier, enjoying their cocktails. This wasn't a rowdy/violent environment. That's what makes this horrible.

Also bad, all the madness @Tyrsis cites.

So that's cool with you? Police charging dramatically at a crowd right at the end of a national anthem?
Seems like they did it for fun. Because we all like to scare the shit outta people.
Except, they're cops.
Serve and protect my ass.

It depends. There isn't enough information in this video for me to make any kind of substantive moral judgment.
If it was for fun, yeah, definitely bad.
But I suspect the police are sufficiently scared of these protesters not to fuck with them just for fun.
If it was merely a way to use intimidation to non-violently disperse a crowd of protesters, I actually like this a lot better than 90% of the kinds of things you usually see in these videos. No tear gas, no physical altercations, not even a sonic weapon. Just a sudden, terrifying charge forward, and the crowd disperses, and moves away from the area they were trying to clear.
There might be an argument about whether they had a legitimate reason to clear that particular area, but assuming they did, and it was actually as non-violent as it appeared, then I think the police did pretty well considering the kind of task they were charged with, and the kind of draconian tools they could have chosen to use instead.
There may be details we don't see here that make the cops look out of line, but the video itself actually looks like the cops doing things the way they're supposed to.

I recently "won" (not sure if this constitutes winning) an invitation for two to the national premiere of this "film" (again, not sure if this constitutes a film) two days from now. The event is organized by American Express and they've invited somewhere around 300 of their top female clients based on account turnover. There's going to be "red carpet", tabloid "journalists" and free drinks (not sure if a cosmo constitutes a proper drink though).
Now, I am married, and the Mrs. actually saw the first movie (said it was complete rubbish). She says she'd never go see a follow-up to that garbage on her own, but she is mildly interested in seeing what the event would be like. Personally, I only want to go if I can troll the event in some way: got any suggestions for me?
Btw, here's Roger Ebert's review.

How the hell are all their tans/skin tones exactly the same?
Is there some sort of HTML hex# which bodybuilders have to conform to?


That's just part of the chemical cocktail, except in this case it's a legal - who knows why - tanning solution rendering them all the same shade.

I wish I wasn't eating shrimp cocktail right now.

Cap'n coke, please.

If that thing isn't serving me cocktails in the next 5 years, I'll be very disappointed.

@NetRunner. I'm pretty sure I said he gave back the money from his budget. That's still huge seeing how $100k could do a lot: expensive lunches, cocktails, lap dances, etc.

But, now that you mention it, he has voted against pay raises for congressmen and is against congressional policy that forces politicians to give up their private practice and suck from the government teat. Now, that's solid political profitability, if you ask me.

You are correct BT, and dag-As written, the guidelines are the opposite of implicit, and this video should be regarded/labeled/or otherwise considered as, again, according to the rules as scribbled-on-a-cocktail-napkin, soft porn.

therealblankman gets hard when he thinks about hotchicks and motorbikes, as do I.

Sexual arousal-face value merit otherwise=gonnagojackoffonthebikethatneedsfixingtorunnow!...with 90-weight gear lube as a lubricant....because I get horny when I smell that or think about smelling that , too!

WTF is NASA doing boring holes for cocktail?? Thought space outside of our ball was the final frontier....

Four more and you got a cocktail!

How can you say "We need a commander and chief not a law professor!" and get applause? So what? The laws in this country aren't valuable but someone who makes bold idiotic decisions is? Wait, it all makes sense now!
p.s. Regan put us in a worse recession than Bush did, not something to celebrate.


agreed jigga.
the problem is americans collective short term memory and the majorities abject failure in not only knowing recent history but understanding its full impact on their own civil liberties.
habeas corpus is a british law enacted in 1250 a.d for the specific purpose of right of redress.
start tampering with that and the government can charge you with anything and your right to face your accuser in a court of law is toast.result=indefinite detention.
the "war on terror" is an arbitrary term with no definitive goal nor specified target.the "enemy" can be anyone or anything the government deems a threat.this can lead to wholesale abuse considering the the "war on terror" is actually a war on ideology.
historically speaking,it is not uncommon nor unimaginable that when a government is granted power it will always use that power and in many instances against it's own citizens.
the real problem in my opinion is when you add up americans lack of historical knowledge and our collective ability to forget and the corporate medias total failure to address politicians who flat out lie or manipulate facts to fit their narrative,we find ourselves dealing with a powerful cocktail of ignorance and fear which political parties use with amazing proficiency.
the majority of american people have given authority to the corporate media to tell them what to think and how to think it.until they realize that the mainstream media had utterly failed,and that journalistic integrity has been forfeited for ratings and profit we will see more sarah palin like politicians in the future.

^Sagemind, don't let lazy stop you-you have had the stamina and dedication to flattening your ass in that chair that got you to where you are today on the site-editing software I have and never use it-will one day, but you do not have time to be dilly-dallying with it now.

Take your inspiration for creation, and enroll in the Roger Corman school of film. "Cut, excellent, beautiful, move on to scenes 14-91." You have 10 days to give the producers a can of fertilizer for the premiere in Hoboken. One take wonders hit every 5th-7th time....just look at the kids who produced the ultimately unwatchable and highly successful, Blair Witch Project. Amazing what pot and fake butter can do to an audience. Take out your camera, write the script onna cocktail napkin and roll camera.

Here are a few tips to remember, elements that win every time with gullible audiences of freaks, geeks, tweaks, and the uni-dimensional meek, the latter being the ones that Frank Zappa reminded, will inherit nothing.

Nudity: Tasteful snippets of T&A (no P, unless it's a passing flash that keeps the audience wanting more or wondering if that was what they think it was), will distract an audience from content or lack of inherent talent...use sparingly, or folks may become jaded, dysfunctional social rejects.

Profanity: No film that has ever placed in the last 40 years is without it...use sparingly, do not use any of my contributions as an example.

Set: Provide the viewer with enough to occupy their feeble minds in the BACKGROUND, to distract them from the script that looked great yesterday, but stinks like foreign cheese after the drugs have worn off the next....litter the scene with props, gadgetry and eye-candy...try dumping a garbage can on the floor and re-arranging it a few times, perhaps....(HINT:most props are made of cardboard, plaster, or Styrofoam.)

Fire: Cheap and ever present, combustibles make for good cinema....think of all the chick flicks you have had to suffer, without smoke, there can be no flames.

Actors/Actresses-Optional elements of any film, these are like friends...-dime-a-dozen clutter which distract from the task at hand-employ the services of the homeless, have animals do your bidding, stack Barbies or plastic army men to the ceiling, and roll camera....insects work well too, they are always in character.

Hope this helped.

> going to refuse getting various shots that will keep you alive.

LOL @ swine flu vaccine keeping me alive, you're a real sucker !!! drink it up, dude, enjoy that vaccine it was MADE FOR people like YOU ! We'll take our chances with diseases and our immune systems in my house. ( and we've already done the swine flu anyway )

p.s. people usually live to be about 85 in my family and 90 in my wifes family and most of them dont take any of your "life extending" pharmaceuticals at all.

So remember kiddies, eat those pills, drink those cocktails, accept your injections! The medical industry may be wholly profit driven on your symptoms and despair, but you can rest easy they're doing the best they can for their stockholders.
