More like not-so-subtle Hollywood programming-Americans for the most part are being groomed for zombiedom, the environment is being raped at break-neck speeds as are the basic liberties which are a birthright of all of humanity.

Not your imagination billpayer (har), Gojira just gets taller and wider and more ominously terrifying with every new resurrection, innit?? This looks like a good one...

"4" sounds like death in Chinese. So to call a bus "44" is very ominous.
(I doubt the bus from the true story was called that - even hospitals don't have a floor 4 - but the filmmaker chose it on purpose).

great short film. funny standup by Reg. hooray for the sift.

I don't think you're grumpy, radx. Granted, my posts tend to have that same ominous tone, in general so I guess I'm a grump too. If you really think about the scale of inequality today, the absolute plundering the ultra-rich enjoyed during the recent recession and the efforts to keep money in politics to perpetuate this cycle with brilliant tools like Citizens United, it's hard not to be bleak.

Unfortunately, what we like to call democracy simply does not have the teeth to affect meaningful change. I am encouraged by the relative economic performance from the list of countries that have scrapped first past the post (reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation ) except for maybe Portugal, but even with more effective elections there is still an extra seat for the rich in every government.

Even more unfortunate will be the painful revolution the world will endure to either change from capitalism to some other form of economics (maybe resourced-based, a-la Peter Joseph.) If we don't simply slide obediently into greater and greater concentrations of wealth for the ultra-rich, we get closer and closer to revolution. But all it will take will be one upheaval to spur the revolution into action, be it:
- another, even more severe recession (maybe the EU will implode, taking the world economy down with it)
- severe global warming positive feedback loop from the arctic methane stores
- nuclear war

And who the hell knows what else might set people off. Maybe a solar flare will fry all the satellites in orbit and the lack of new tweets will create a world-wide frenzy of irate twats. And who knows when it will happen. Maybe 5 years, maybe 50 years. Since money pulls the strings, I think we're doomed to guess as to the source of VoodooV's "tipping point."

Might be because he's old? Your use of ellipsis indicates a ominous undertone in your meaning. That, or you're just setting up another member of the gossiping sewing circle to finish or continue your thought.

He's getting older. Happens to us all. Even Jeezus.

I was going to downvote until 9:30, because ominous music and unqualified statements don't make an argument... but actually I like their suggestion for municipalities. If they'd been more upfront about the fact that they are really only talking about public money and accounts with more than $1.5 million, I would even have upvoted.

It's not going to work everywhere though, small risk averse banks can fail too, particularly if the charter isn't clear enough, or the management and board lack relevant experience.

..and uber-ominous what with the bone-rendering metal shred soundtrack-Rob Zombie: The metallic front-man wielding the sturm und drang of an 8-note range!

Account is "terminated."

Sounds fricking ominous, if I were into conspiracy theories.

It could deflate him, make him feel empty inside, directionless, as if at the mercy of the wind.

0:44 - Too much information! However, the ominous music was a nice touch. GJ, NG!>> ^dapper:

i hope that relationship never lets him down...
