So in your mind, anyone can say anything about someone, offer no actual proof or veracity and should be allowed to get away with it as long as the person they're talking about is pretty poorly thought of? X D

You're using the same hyperbole (oh sweet irony) that reportage of this issue used, but even Get Up refuse to directly accuse him... (cos, ya know, libel...)

"Already, 830,000 people have seen the ad on air or online — but now all three major TV networks are pulling it off air and refusing to run it.1. Some of the network representatives told us directly: they’re not running the ad because they don’t want to criticise Rupert Murdoch."

Not wanting to criticise him is not the same thing as HIM banning the ad...

Great, now I just need an excuse to tie it in front of somebody to impress them.

I've always kinda wanted to rock the granny knot just to give the impression of a guy that really gives zero fucks...but unfortunately I do actually give fucks about whether or not people think I can tie it properly, and I fear these doubts already betray the lack of confidence that would be required to carry it. I figure you'd have to go with the tradtional getup to begin with and then transition to the granny knot later, but yah, I think its going to remain one of those fantasies of rebellion.

Oh, and the problem with not untying it is that it sort of has an expiry date. Every cycle of loosen and tighten it gets always seems to lose some of its plump until it may as well be a granny knot. I figure you're good for 3 uses, maybe 4 if you're really careful before you're going have to cook up a new fresh one.

I would not wear that getup anywhere around William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy.

Captain Rostrum of the "Carpathia" is lookin quite dapper! Wonder if the same getup is at The Men's Warehouse...


Yah, I don't think he'd have grown into that enormous jacket!

I feel very sad for you.

But on a happy note, this video has gone wonderfully for Get Up, and one can only hope our darn Prime Minister legalises it...

I don't have anything against gay people. It isn't as if homosexuality is so much worse than any other sin, although all the baggage that comes with it can cause a society to become totally degenerate. Take the greeks for example.

I don't label it sin because I am afraid of it, or for a feeling of superiority. I don't think I am superior to any other human being. I call it sin because that is what God said it is. It's immoral and goes against Gods design, and nature itself. You call me intolerant but you aren't tolerant of my beliefs, so I don't think you have anything to say about tolerance.

Damnit SB... come here and fucking rain on a damn beautiful video.
I got into work this morning and saw the email from GetUp (the advocacy group who created this), and thought I'd give the video a watch, having no idea what it was about. I could tell there was a twist at the end... but, I guess I just don't even consider a gay relationship to be a 'twist', that it wasn't something that crossed my mind. (probably should have been, if I'd been thinking about it I would have thought what the hot topics in Australia are currently around relationships).
But really well done, really great.
It's so very sad that anyone can watch this and feel anything but joy for this 'couple' (I only put couple like that as they're actors, not real). @shinyblurry, you are filled with hate born from fear. You fear gay people because you fear anything different from your little world. You label it 'sin' to make yourself feel righteous about condemning it, but it comes down to you feeling 'icky' about two men lovin' it up because you haven't been exposed to it...

I have to admit I scanned over your description, then watched the video. Sorry about that. You've got a very good point about the black bloc getup. Both because they are the group that is more likely to instigate rioting, and because it doesn't seem right for a police officer to cover his face on duty for the purpose of hiding his identity. But now I'm curious, what's the political shirt? Is the El Jefe shirt a reference to Castro or something?

I thank @gwiz665 for bringing this to my attention, because this warrants a Wonder Woman fan's opinion. As a =w= fanboy I will pick this costume apart, in true fanboy fashion. But to be fair, I'll start off with what they got right.

1. The golden lasso is fine. It's golden, and it's a lasso. Hard to mess that one up, really.
2. The bracelets are good, i.e., they're the right size. Not too small, not too long.
3. Wonder Woman is pretty, and they got a pretty woman to play her. So we're good there. (However I wish she had some muscle tone. Wonder Woman definitely has curves, but she also has an athletic physique. Look at my profile page to see what I'm talking about.)

Now, the shit they got wrong:

1. What's with all the shiny? The blue pants and boots are too shiny, the red top is WAY too shiny. Makes it look like a chintzy costume from Girls's Costume Warehouse.
2. The breastplate, tiara, and belt are supposed to be made from metal. They are supposed to be at least a little shiny. But no, they use cheap plastic shit with all the luster that cheap plastic shit can muster. (Ooh, I made a rhyme.)
3. If they're going to put her in those pants, the least they can do is make them dark blue - VERY dark blue. Close to black. Same goes for the boots.
4. You only need a red star on the tiara, not on the breastplate and the belt too.
5. Also if you're going to go with the pants, don't put put tacky gold stars down the side.
6. Super shiny red lipstick too? Jesus.

To be fair again, I read somewhere that this getup might just be a mockup. Still, it's atrocious. It makes her look like a hooker at a cosplay convention. And you can tell they tried to combine her old look with her new look, which of course will satisfy NO ONE.

They're just shooting a pilot episode for now, and maybe NBC will pick it up. If they do it should air this fall. I have no confidence in this show, really. Besides the awful costume the show is being produced by David E. Kelley, the guy who mostly makes lawyer shows, but other crap as well. I hate lawyer shows, and his shows epitomize everything I hate about them. Yes, even Ally McBeal. It's supposed to be a serious, non-campy show (unlike the original =w= series from the '70s), but it might just turn out campy anyway. If it tanks (and it will), it might kill a possible =w= movie that has been in development hell for years. They're talking about a =w= film in 2013, but we'll see.

How can this guy expect to be taken even remotely seriously in that getup?

She'd never love you back ponce, unless you could magically appear in her room disguised as a jewish carpenter.
Then she'd fuck your brains out... for JESUS.

Actually funny you should mention that because I was just having another conversation with a sifter about the fact that while I'm fairly agnostic, I'm still "jewish." Maybe if I put on the getup and grow a beard I can get lucky with this fine woman!
I think the thing is that the crazy ones attract me... they tend to be the best in bed...


I agree with you I bet shed screw you six ways to Sunday. Is that how the saying goes?

^Um, yeah...are we sure it's this "endocrine disorder" and not that ridiculous getup that's inhibiting his masculinity? Jesus Christ. Great music, tho.

"The basic Dragon Skin vest for torso protection costs about $2,000 and the entire getup, which includes a protective collar, optional lightweight SAPI plates, an optional weight bearing rig, backpack plates, and an armored, take-it-with-you anywhere protective blanket, can run an individual more than $5,000. The basic Interceptor body armor issued to American troops costs about $1,100, although the wearer receives far less protection, ballistics information provided by both the manufacturers and the U.S. Army showed. According to the statistics provided by Pinnacle, in Army-supervised ballistics tests Dragon Skin's protective qualities "far exceeded" anything available anywhere else, Chessum said."

I need to get one of those, not to pricey really. The army already uses them in certain situations. The hold up is more bureaucratic than anything else. You have to evaluate a new weapon system and find a way to properly begin switching from older platforms ect ect.

I hate to ruin the fun everyone is having with the 'Nazi Elf', but the guy is dressed up as neither a Nazi nor a member of the Red Army. The getup is merely the standard German police uniform. The song is about the guy with the wicked hair and the chick getting stopped by the police for being under the influence.
