Looking Major Tom in the molars.

Could the artistry of David Bowie be tied somehow to the appearance of his teeth? That appears to be the subtext of the video. I find it interesting that Rolling Stone’s Alan Light feels that after Bowie cranked out not only Ziggy Stardust, but Hunky Dory, Low, Station to Station, etc., the one thing “holding him back” was a self-consciousness about his teeth. Hmm, by that logic…did cosmetic surgery beget Tin Machine?!

Ground control to Major Tom: Word up.

I really hope they avoid all the trappings of CGI. Henson had it right all along, but people nowadays fail to understand we want the puppets -- at least I want the puppets. It worked in Labyrinth and The Never Ending Story and The Dark Crystal.


I've had this conversation with friends. I totally agree.

It's so "Major Tom"-ish, it's not funny. But not bad either.

^(in response to major tom) I doubt it. Why? Because most people (in the US) give our government the benefit of doubt that they are doing whats best for us. The reality is that our government doesnt protect us nearly as much as they control us. Believe me when i say, that whenever our government feels as though they are losing control on any level, they will react quickly and quietly to restore the balance as they see fit and there is NO ONE looking over their shoulders to make sure that what is being done is either ethical or fair.

you may be thinking "aww thats hogwash. It cant be that bad." But it is. Infact it is worse than you can imagine. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and if you think our government is looking out for the people at the bottom of the totem pole, think again.

America is much like a machine that runs on several things, the largest two being blood and money. Our blood in the form soldiers to both protect and enforce the will of our government and money as the other means of continuing its un-ending desire for more power. The flow of these two are monitored very closely, as the better they understand whats going on, the more in control they are. Intelligence gathering is simply their way of ensuring they continue to remain in control. More intelligence means more proficiency means more production means more power.

knowledge is power and we all know it. The greed of humanity dictates that we as a species will always want more. More knowledge, more power. As technology grows there become more and more ways to put Americans under the microscope and that means more and more opportunities for the government to carry on unregulated, unwatched, and unhindered by ethics or laws.



So in short, what i am saying is that the government will never stop and never has stopped looking into our lives for means of better control to ensure its own survival.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Thanks for going Charter, Major Tom.

Apparently BillO was right, the puppy was an Al Qaeda operative. "A top Iraqi insurgent has been executed by US Marines in Iraq according to worldwide reports. A video showing the execution has since been removed from youtube.

'Patch' a mongrel puppy is believed to have been responsible for numerous attacks against coallition forces including the nipping of ankles, pooping on sleeping bags and stealing scraps of food from ration packs.

Sources at the Marine Corps base in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, said they were proud of the US Marine who carried out the execution and that he would be receiving a medal of honor for his valor.

The brave marine, known only as Motari, has rid Iraq of a dangerous menace, hell bent on causing mayhem and destruction. 'Patch' was thrown from a ravine.

"Hero 'Motari' has upheld the fine and honorable traditions of all the US marines who have served in Iraq, as well as those who have served in other conflicts, his friends and family must be very proud today" said Major Tom Tom, "By tossing that evil puppy of a cliff he has shown himself to be the biggest tosser the corps has ever know." spoof.com
