If you look hard enough, you can see Satan's face in the flames... Well..., I mean isn't there always a face in the flames??? I just wanted to say it before someone else did.

What do YOU see in the flames - Mickey Mouse's face maybe...??

WTF was that Mickey Mouse giving a militant hate speech!

You never seen Jihad Mouse before? Been on the internets for quite a while.

WTF was that Mickey Mouse giving a militant hate speech!

LMAO

1. I'm not actually a chimp.

2. I have a political science BA even though I'm completely apathetic when it comes to politics.

3. I am (was) related to Edward Said.

4. I hate the word "foodie."

5. I am a foodie (for lack of a better word).

6. I slept with the lights on until my first year of university.

7. I once played a racing game in an arcade with John Tesh.

8. I went to film school.

9. I'm abandoning my dreams of becoming a filmmaker and going into law school in September (assuming one will accept me).

10. One of the highlights of my life (recently at least) was actually hiring a steadicam operator for a recent short film I made (which will probably end up being the last film I ever make).

11. The most times I've ever seen a film theatrically was Punch Drunk Love (seven times).

12. I've been playing videogames since the Atari, and would definitely call myself a gamer, though I've probably only finished maybe 20 or so games all the way through.

13. I am way more of an introvert than I'd like to be (ie. I'm distressingly shy).

14. Stanley Kubrick is a god to me.

15. I cannot stand people who use the word "guesstimate".

16. I've only watched three movies at home in the last two months thanks to the humongous time-sink that is World of Warcraft.

17. The first thing I ever downloaded was a picture of Andrew Dice Clay from a BBS. It was mind-blowing.

18. I made my first website, a Duke Nukem 3D fansite, in 1996. You can still see it at the internet archive (http://web.archive.org/web/19981205233542/http://members.aol.com/knusair/duke3d/duke3d.htm).

19. When I first heard about 3D cards, I thought "a card just for 3D graphics? What a ridiculous idea, that'll never fly." I bought my first 3D card (a Monster 3D) a couple of years later.

20. I can't stand watching or playing sports of any kind (even hockey, which means I can never truly be a Canadian, despite being born here and living here all my life).

21. I can't stand the taste of beer (see above, RE: not a real Canadian).

22. My family is Palestinian on both sides, though I rarely tell people that to avoid the inevitable discussions/conflict.

23. I wear a Mickey Mouse watch.

24. I've never been in a fight.

25. I would like to one day travel to every country in the world, with the exception of the super-poor and/or scary ones (ie. I have no real desire to go to, say, Afghanistan).

"How can absolute talent voids like Britney Spears and her ilk warrant anything but derision when compared to actual musical ability and creativity?"

Now, don't get me wrong here, but... Britney Spears and singers like her actually do have *real* talent. *NOT ALL OF THEM DO.* But some do, such as the ones that came from the Mickey Mouse Club like her and Christina Aguilera.

They have real singing talent.

However.

You are correct in that they are riding a corporate wave of success and that they do NOT write their own music.

They are corporate creations.

If you are not coming up with the MELODY in your music, you are not writing your own music.

That's the bottom line.

I keep expecting that guy to start screaming "THATS NOT MICKEY MOUSE, THATS TIT DIRT!"

Now.. they need some more of that lens flare effect. Wow. Great stuff.

LOL

I retain my stance that believing that a hallucination is a spiritual vision is deluding yourself. By "spiritual vision", I mean a vision of divine (though not necessarily heavenly) origin.

If you were tripping balls in the park, and saw Mickey Mouse part the clouds and talk to you, you'd have to be a nutter to believe that Mickey Mouse is God. So why believe the hallucination is spiritual if you replace Mickey Mouse with an old dude with a beard. To pick and choose whether a hallucination is just your mind playing tricks on you or whether it is spiritual is simply deluding yourself.

The one thing to learn from tripping is that the only reality you know is the one created by your brain, and that your brain can make up some crazy shit. If anything, it should shine some light on any other spiritual experience you ever had.

Open your eyes.

Not so funnily they are now killing innocent civilians while the international community does nothing...


This was never funny.

I've replied on the thread.

Extremist cultures thrive and become dangerous under oppression - this is what happened in my country. They don't just pop up out of nowhere. And still that culture exists although it has become highly politicised and peaceful in the last 10 years. This is why there has always been solidarity between Ireland and Palestine, there are Palestinian flags and murals in the city where I live.

Israel is now engaged in genocide and the whole world knows it. There is no justification for genocide, ever.

People are being slaughtered out there, trying to justify where you lay blame just isn't good enough.

In reply to this comment by mharvey42:
Irishman - A moving and artistic bit of cinema; with all the honesty of a Leni Riefenstahl film. True, these people lead a tragic existance, because of their sick culture they choose to.

They raise their children on bloodthirsty versions of Mickey Mouse, then send them out with explosives strapped to them. They choose to buy weapons over peaceful impliments. Before the unilateral pullout the Israeli greenhouses in Gaza produced bountiful crops; after, they were smashed in a nihilistic rage.

It's sad, but Gaza has only it's own to blame. I hope for their sake that when this current depraved set of leaders is killed in their tunnels, that the Gazans choose peace and coexistance with the Jews, or it will happen again.

I feel sorry for the old guy...but at the same time I can't stop thinking of Mickey Mouse.

Obama also has the dead (and posibly undead) voting for him, along with felons, children and Mickey Mouse. ACORN gathers more nuts than squirrels do. I'm sure there's huge contributions to Obama from Red China in there too!

If Soldiers Could Choose Their Own Commander-in-Chief

(Source: Military Times Poll for 2008 Presidential Election)

http://www.militarytimes.com/static/projects/pages/081003_ep_2pp.pdf

All Branches

McCain - 68%
Obama - 23%
Uncommitted - 9%

Only Blacks in the military support Obama (79%) more than McCain (12%)

Better come to grips with it QM because you will be eating his pie come election day.

How can that be? I thought 95% of Americans were getting a "tax cut" and health care is going to be "free"!

Should Barry squeak into office (thanks to ACORN there are a lot of dead people voting for him, along with Mickey Mouse, jailbirds and children) I will be here to remind you all who voted for Palin-McCain.

Enjoy your CROW pie.

^Money justifies all? Pretty shallow, buddy.


I said no such thing, buddy. You and your posse can downvote me for going against the tide, but I stand by what I said (not what you seem to think I said). A corporation has a legal responsibility to its shareholders to make money, so there's nothing sensational or remarkable about the dramatic quote at the end; it's absolutely true.

I'm not sure what you saw in this that Disney needs to justify, but I sure didn't see much. I think Disney could stand to add some color to its movies, but that's true of all entertainment, and I don't think there's any need to assume there's some sort of conspiracy or evil corporate policy. But if you could read something into my brief comment that I didn't say, I suppose it's not difficult to see what you want to see in the giant.

Commence your rock-throwing, brave David.

That would be the old-timey skeleton cartoon -- the Skeleton Dance, the first Silly Symphony (the series which, along with Mickey Mouse, helped make Disney a household name).
