The "filth down there" eh? Ivory towers must be nice this time of year.
On a side note, "reporting" like this reminds of an episode of Parks & Recreation, "The Christmas Scandal".


Yeah the "filth" statement was fucking amazing, I can't believe that guy doesn't get punched in the face on a daily basis. Seriously these fuckers need to get GOT!

Yet another lying gay repug, and Herman Cain probably exposing himself as a wannabe dictator.
Fox bobble heads getting in a lather over a mother abandoning her kids to spend time with the "filth down there in Wall Street" makes me laugh while annoyed. How dare she compare fighting for what you believe in to military service! What's with the calling out Joe Biden?

This is an epic win? Not letting the park you're staying in try to clean up all your filth? Yeah - real epic 'win' there guys. Woo-hoo - way to keep the man from cleaning up your mess. Now you can be all proud of yourselves as you live in yurts made from your own offal. :eyeroll: What a bunch of morons. Not only are they mad at entirely the wrong target, but they routinely bite the hands trying to feed them. Tools - every one of them - down to the last man.


Congrats on an utter comprehension failure. Go watch the video again. Maybe email Cenk and ask him to use smaller words.

How amusing that one of the myriad peddlers of hollywood filth could actually be "offended".

I heard that they may be "edging closer" to making Porno into a film with the Trainspotting cast.

I think it's a really strange choice for a film adaptation to be honest. Ecstasy is one of Irvine Welsh's weaker novels; I think Filth or Crime would translate better; or even Glue.
The best of course would be Porno, but that would require the cast from Trainspotting to sign up. Which they should considering what that movie did for their careers.

I love to see a person who is passionate about what they believe in. That kind of thing always gets mad props from me. Kudos guy. Golf clap.
But the sad reality is that there are precious few in the teaching profession that have this kind of passion. And even the rare teacher who DOES have the passion has a heckuva time working in a system that is more concerned about the welfare of the teacher's union than the education of students. I could go on for hours about screwed up teachers, regulations, and all the other garbage that cumbers our educational system. It’s all well and good to stick up for the good things, but it ends up ringing pretty hollow when you know there’s a mile of manure beneath the pretty green-grass rhetoric.
For example… I’m no fan of lawyers. But if I was a lawyer, you how I could respond to his last question?
“You what to know what kind of difference I make? I make drunk drivers go to jail when they kill kids, but walk away from the accident. I make teachers who have sex with their students tremble when I’m on the other end of the phone. I make laws that protect widows, the elderly, and orphans. I make companies clean up their messes, and pay the people they hurt with their negligence. I make government officials talk about the laws they try to sneak through the system. I make rapists and murderers go to the electric chair. I stare right in the face at all the scum, sleaze, and filth in society that YOU’RE too scared to even talk about. I hold the powerful accountable. I make the guilty pay. I defend the innocent guy who society never gave a chance. That’s the difference I make, pal…”
See – it isn’t too hard to list all the GOOD things done by a profession while desperately ignoring the slime, crap, and bologna. Golf-clapping his passion, but not impressed with his method.


lawyers don't make laws
defense lawyers make ALOT more than prosecution
and they are just as likely to deny someone their just dues, and protect those in the wrong... probably more likely, because thats where the money is at

trying to put law and education in the same boat has 1 major flaw
there's no money in teaching...
its much more likely to find corruption where there is money
its much more likely to find character where this isn't

Honestly I don't know the first thing about celebrity gossip but I imagine it's actually quite the opposite; the dedicated tabloids would probably be much more interested in some truly trashy piece of gossip to report, and like it or not, a piece about celebrity yeast infections would probably sell way better than one covering hairstyles.

Remember the whole Gizmodo iPhone debacle? Same thing. Sure Gizmodo were to blame for being completely unprofessional, but they were simply the manifestation of the Apple fanboy hoards. We can't expect the media to practice professionalism and work ethic when we don't demand it as consumers but simply frown when they go 'over the line' (and even when they do, and we frown, we still manage to make it worth their while).

I must say I sympathize with the so called "journalist". He is doing a very poor job of defending himself and I in no way support the point he's trying to make, but he does touch on something I agree with; this whole voyeurism industry is filth by definition, what's incredible here isn't the lengths that these reporters would go to to push out more trash news, it's that there's such an overwhelming demand for this garbage.
I would much rather hear actors directing heat on these issues straight at the audiences (which of course they won't). It's much easier blaming the celebrity media, but they are simply a manifestation of the mindless consumer horde.

In a way, sure, but i don't think the public would be happy with them hacking people's private shit to get that gossip. Well, they're clearly not because i haven't heard a single person standing up for them yet, though i'm sure there's reprehensible people who would somewhere in britain.
I don't think i've ever heard someone say "i get the paper for the celebrity gossip". And whilst i know there are celebrity gossip magazines out there that sell, i'd venture a guess that it's "cheryl cole's got a new hairstyle" that they're interested in rather than "cheryl cole's booked in for a yeast infection at local clinic, phone transcript inside".
