I find it kind of funny because little boys and girls can now apparently play evangelist and cure "Wheelchair Becky" of being cripple. That is unless Mattel decided to put a tether on her ass to keep her in the chair....then it just get's weird.

Gregory Hines

A versitile actor, dancer and star in general, Gregory Hines was a star. People may have their own tap dancers they think of, but this is my tap dancer. When I think of tap, I think of Gregory Hines and how masterful he is. He oozes not this clean style, but this great, smooth technique that seems to flow with rhythm. Unfotunately he died at the age of 57, much too young for any great star and much too young for a talent such as his.

The Justice System Does NOT Work

Supreme Court Sends Guy to Jail for Selling Adult Comics to Adults

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has been providing counsel for Castillo since his arrest in 2000 when he was charged with two counts of obscenity for selling adult comic books to adults.
The State prosecutor did not offer contradictory testimony, but secured a guilty verdict with a closing argument stating, “I don’t care what type of evidence or what type of testimony is out there, use your rationality, use your common sense. Comic books, traditionally what we think of, are for kids. This is in a store directly across from an elementary school and it is put in a medium, in a forum, to directly appeal to kids. That is why we are here, ladies and gentlemen. … We’re here to get this off the shelf.” Castillo was found guilty and sentenced to 180 days in jail, a year probation, and a $4,000 fine.

This sickens me, that a guy could go to jail for selling COMIC BOOKS. What kind of country is the States becoming where this kind of ignorance of an art form, not to mention censorship, is allowed in the Supreme Court?!

Robot the Robot is the creation of a guy I just met last week at the weekly Vancouver Draw Jam. Damn are his comics fucking GOOD. Plus he draws robots just the way I loves 'em. So funny, so fun, check out the issues and definately check out the Fakes Gallery for ideas that were never realized.

Why the fuck does the US Government care about music pirates? This is extreme police state stuff.

P2P Jail Bill

A proposed US bill could see music file traders jailed for downloading just one illegal copy.

Last week Congressmen Howard Berman and John Conyer (both Democrats) teamed up introduce the Authors, Consumer and Computer Owners Protection and Security Act of 2003 (ACCOPS Act).

This legislation would, as El Reg's Thomas Greene wrote, "simply assume that any P2P activity with a copyrighted file involves more than ten copies and represents a retail value of $2,500, automatically making it a felony and bringing in the possibility of incarceration. That's ten copies and a minimum of $2,500 assumed per individual file, we believe."


US Senator would destroy MP3 traders' PCs

The Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Orrin Hatch (Republican, Utah), thinks it would be a fabulous idea if copyright owners could remotely destroy computers that contain pirated material, the Associated Press reports.
This would involve creating new legislation to exempt copyright owners from old-fashioned laws that make it a crime to destroy other people's property, and from somewhat newer computer trespass and misuse statutes as well.

BENICIO DEL TORO TO DIRECT HUNTER S. THOMPSON'S RUM DIARY

"Begun in 1959 by a then-twenty-two-year-old Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary is a brilliantly tangled love story of jealousy, treachery and violent alcoholic lust in the Caribbean boomtown that was San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s. Exuberant and mad, youthful and energetic, The Rum Diary is an outrageous, drunken romp in the spirit of Thompson's bestselling Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Hell's Angels." -Amazon.com

This is stollen from Matt Fraction's blog, but it pisses me off no end as to how people can see a comic book and automatically assume that its for kids. (Don't ask about the title of the article though, it makes no sense.)

Kids' Sex Book Fury

Shocked parents were horrified to find a cult comic book littered with obscenities and references to Satanism - in a library's children's section.
International best-seller GHOST WORLD by Daniel Clowes is just 80 pages long but contains the "F" word 50 times and another more offensive word twice.

It's Official. CANADA IS COOL.

After months of making the news only with our various communicable diseases--SARS, mad cow and West Nile--we're now getting world famous for our cutting-edge laws on gay marriage and legalized drugs. The Bush conservatives are repulsed by our depravity. My friends in New York and San Francisco have been quietly inquiring about applying for citizenship.

I know that they've been discussing this all year on Ain't It Cool News, but its hard to get really excited sometimes over a bunch of fanboys' gushings over a film you know next to nothing about.
