I'm an optimistic realist, not a nihilist. Death is a permanent problem after a temporary solution.

Aggggg!!! Good God! Every time I think that this country has reached some sort of disgusting narrow-minded short-sighted scapegoat-burning LOW, the morons of the public school system come up with something so frustratingly dumb and obviously misguided that I actually get why some school kids are going completely POSTAL.
I understand that there must be some sort of reaction to the massacre, but the question is what? More gun control? More armed guards at schools? Metal Detectors? Or, how about some FRIGGIN' counselors or some sort of SUPPORT SYSTEM for the poor schmucks getting taunted and beat up every day of their pimply little lives.
NO, WAIT, I KNOW, lets ban trench coats!!! Yah, if they can't wear the trench coats then they can't kill people, right? Because there can't actually be anything going on inside those teenage brains, no, they are just puppets for evil clothing and bad music. Oh, and it's kinda nice that this won't cost us any MONEY or TIME, thank goodness this isn't one of those COMPLEX social problems with NO EASY SOLUTION!
Get a clue people.

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)
Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
