Have fun staying at home and wading around in your shit water...

[captainofbeef]

My shit water has been gone since Saturday morning. Basement still smells a tad though.

[sacrilegend]

Hey guys! I had lots of fun, rested, had some wild bush-parties ( ), read Siddhartha, The Famished Road, Shantaram, ANNNNND And The Ass Saw The Angel (Nick Cave!). Whoooop!

[captainofbeef]

The Eskimos lost another hard fought game, this time by only 14. I think we are 0-5....

Saw this preview at our theatre, the sequel to a movie I saw around Blockbuster but was never interested in:

Hilton Urges Fans To Help Keep Her Out of Jail
Paris Hilton is calling on her fans to help her stay out of jail - by endorsing an online petition they can sign. The desperate socialite, who was sentenced to serve 45 days in jail last week after violating terms of her 2006 drink-driving arrest, has teamed up with a pal called Joshua to urge fans to help her. In a post on her MySpace blog, Hilton, who is also asking California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her, writes, "My friend Joshua started this petition. Please help and sign it. I love you all!" The petition, which is addressed to Schwarzenegger, claims "the American public who support Paris are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that drunk driving is wrong. She provides hope for young people all over the US and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives. If the late former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late former President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), we undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake as well." Hilton is due to start serving time by June 5 if her appeal fails, after being sentenced at a hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

[captainofbeef]

O my lord, comparing Watergate to a drunk driving arrest? Honestly, is this woman that dumb?

[sacrilegend]

My word, they should lock her away for life!

...dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that drunk driving is wrong.

What?!

What?!

so, like, is he arguing that drunk driving is ok?

[captainofbeef]

Lets clear this up, one drunk driving is a crime. Most people go to jail for a year for it up here in Pennsylvania. Two, because she is a famous criminal and is being rightfully jailed for her offense, she is an example? Not so, honey. Third, I don't think my life is mundane and she brings nothing into my life, most definitely not hope. And since when is drunk driving an honest mistake? So, if I drive drunk, is my mistake honest or dishonest?

[sacrilegend]

Yeah, I didn't get that either! I don't really want to add anything, that just makes me angry! No way someone else would get away with drunk driving with a suspended licence. Damn! I hope she does go to jail.

Exactly! Oh my goodness, this makes me feel sick to my stomach. If she doesn't get punished, there's no guarantee she (and many others, following this dream and hope and excitement she provides for them) won't go driving drunk and kill innocent people. Ick.

[criterionmaster]

That is so stupid. She is a fucking fucktard. She committed a crime and is getting away almost scot-free, if anyone else did that they would get much worse. She should take it like the ugly dog she is and just do the few weeks.

No, I get other ads, but I don't think those.

Hilton: "I'm Ready To Face the Consequences"

Socialite Paris Hilton has hit back at criticism she is refusing to take responsibility for driving with a suspended license, insisting she is "ready to face the consequences." The 26-year-old is set to spend 45 days in a California correctional facility after she was found guilty in court last Friday of violating terms of her 2006 drink-driving arrest. At the hearing, Hilton claimed her long-term representative Elliot Mintz had repeatedly informed her that her license had been suspended for only 30 days and that she could still drive for work-related matters. But Hilton, who is in the process of appealing her jail sentence, wants to make clear she realizes how serious driving under the influence is. She says: "After reading the media's coverage of my court hearing, I feel the need to correct what I believe are misperceptions about me. I absolutely realize how serious driving under the influence is. I could not live with myself if anyone was injured or killed while I was driving while impaired. Clearly, no one should - no matter how slightly. I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation. No one is above the law. I surely am not. I do not expect to be treated better than anyone else who violated probation. However, my hope is that I will not be treated worse."

This is why I don't follow the media. Useless broad.

Sharks, Bulls go for glory

Springbok captain John Smit summed up the feelings of millions of South Africans as the Bulls and Sharks set themselves on a collision course on Saturday for this week's Super 14 final - "It is a wonderful feeling to know that the Cup is definitely coming to our shores".

Indeed, it has been a long wait for South African rugby, 12 years to be precise, for that is how long the competition has been going without there being a local winner. There will definitely be one this time next week, however, as the Bulls and Sharks will be squaring off in an eagerly anticipated Durban final.




The Sharks booked their place with a 34-18 win over the Blues at King's Park, a match which had everything you would want from a semi-final, with the lead changing hands in the second half before the hosts powered away in the last minutes to spark a riotous celebration.

And there were similar scenes a few hours later in Pretoria, with the action at Loftus, where the Bulls were playing the Crusaders, being beamed on to the big screen at King's Park and into the hospitality suites. The Bulls, as is their wont, simply suffocated the champion Crusaders, winning 27-12.

But yesterday belonged to the South African players, and no-one last night was beaming broader than Bok captain Smit.

"We mustn't get ahead of ourselves, and we must remember that in 1998 South Africa did poorly in the Super 12 and won the Tri-Nations, but making it an all-South African home final is a huge achievement and it is a great confidence booster," said Smit.

"But while what we have done is amazing, we as the Sharks must remember that the job is not finished yet.

Coming second will mean nothing to us next week, people only remember who actually wins the competition."

It needs to be pointed out that the four uncapped players included in the training squad do not automatically now become Springboks. Watson, Ndungane, Murray and Bismarck du Plessis will only become international players once they have worn the green and gold.

White has consistently said that the team to face England will be a full strength one, and he is set to whittle his squad down after the match against Samoa in Johannesburg on June 9.

OH MY WORD! YAY! I'm a Sharks supporter myself, and although I hate the Bulls I must say that I'm so, so, so very happy. This is the first time in the history of this competition that two South African teams are in the finals! YAY! I'm watching said match with tons of my friends, and I'm going to be the only Shark in the big, BLUE sea. It's going to be lonely, but I really can't wait. I'm borrowing a shirt from my dispirited friend and I'm rawking that party!



vs.

(boooo!)

Yeah I know, I suck, but this is going to be so cool!

[captainofbeef]

What sport is this exactly?

[sacrilegend]

Oh, oops, rugby.

[captainofbeef]

Ah, I see. Rugby is an awesome sport.

[sacrilegend]

It is South Africa is obsessed with it. I got me my shirt! I'm wearing it every day to netball practice to build up our Shark spirit, we're going to need it.

So, I don't care whether this guy is for real or not, all I know is that this is hilarious to me:

'Brokeback Mountain' Lawsuit Issued Against School Board
Source: IMDB

A lawsuit has been launched against a school teacher who showed Brokeback Mountain to a class of young students. Twelve-year-old Jessica Turner and her grandparents, Kenneth and LaVerne Richardson, are seeking $500,000 against the Chicago Board of Education after the movie was shown at Ashburn Community Elementary School. The lawsuit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court on Friday claims Turner "suffered psychological distress" after viewing the R-rated film, which was viewed by the class without permission from the student's parents or legal guardians. Turner's grandfather Kenneth Richardson, who complained to school heads in 2005 over profanities in educational reading literature, says, "The teacher knew she was not supposed to do this. It is very important to me that my children not be exposed to this. This was the last straw. I feel the lawsuit was necessary because of the warning I had already given them on the literature they were giving out to children to read. I told them it was against our faith." R-ratings denote the film in question contains one or more adult themes - adult language, strong sexuality, nudity, violence or drug use.

End of Article.

Oh, God. Thoughts?

[misterbalco]

Hilarious!

[ie]

In middle school, I had this kickass art teacher that would play movies every day in the background to give us some inspiration and stuff. One day he was going to bring in Spawn, but one of my classmates said he didn't want to see it. Even I thought he was kind of lame for doing that, but, whatever.

Today's Paris-Hilton-News-That-Makes-Me-Want-To-Vomit update:

"Traumatized" Hilton Unable To Appear at Civil Trial
Socialite Paris Hilton is so "emotionally distraught and traumatized" since being sentenced to 45 days in jail, she cannot attend a civil trial which was set to start next Monday. Psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy has filed a legal declaration in which he claims Hilton is "not capable of any meaningful participation" in the civil case brought against her by diamond heiress Zach Graff. Graff has launched her $10 million suit against Hilton because of the "vicious lies" the hotel heiress spread about her that ended up being printed in the New York Post newspaper. But Sophy writes that Hilton's state of mind after being found guilty of violating her probation by driving with a suspended license means she "cannot effectively respond to examination as a witness or provide any significant input into her defense." The judge has postponed the trial until August 22, reports website Tmz.com.

[captainofbeef]

That Brokeback Mountain thing is ridiculous. The teacher is dumb for showing the movie (did she think she wasn't gonna get backlash?) but it is a public school. Faith doesn't come into play at all in a public school.

And the Paris Hilton thing is just too awful to require any additional comments.

[eatawiiner]

Too bad the teacher was stupid enough to do that. I got to see 'The Fugitive' in 5th grade and we had to get our parents to sign release forms allowing us to view a PG13 rated film. This is on a whole other scale tho.

[ie]

Yeah, that's the thing. You need release forms for showing movies like that. Exactly.


Speaking of this topic, I'm in a Sex and Gender class (my second, if you're paying attention to the tidbits I throw out), and my teacher is down with John Waters, so I wrote in my midterm evaluation that it would be awesome if I could say I saw a John Waters movie academically. Especially my first John Waters movie, at that.

No release forms required. There are really only three students including me that are under 21, and since we're in the upper level of a four year degree, I don't really think any of the class are under the age of 17.

[sacrilegend]

Well, I'm watching In America at school right now, and right before the sex scene our teacher (jokingly, I think) told everyone under sixteen to leave the room for a while (since in our grade everyone is either sixteen or turning sixteen from January - December (yeah, I'm in December). We just laughed at him and declined the offer. I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to go complain about stuff like that in our school.

We have bad language in our books as well, but I think kids have started looking past that to see the bigger picture, and when we're reading plays and we have to read aloud and play characters, some kids just cut the swearing out. I was the only kid in our whole class to read the JESUS CHRIST in Of Mice and Men two years ago. One girl complained and was given another book, but that is laughed at in our school, not applauded. She's pretty unpopular, still now.
