I'm with Stupid

The song itself may be slightly innocuous, but at least someone somewhere is fighting back against Bush & Co. and the hatred they have have unleashed and promoted with their suedo Christian nonsense.

Stupid is too kind a word.

A Star on ebay

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, a poster I designed is for sale on ebay, and not by me.



But it's not an original, but a "copy" being sold by an organization that had nothing to do with the event the poster was for.

Bit shady, but hey, I'm on ebay!

Now if I can only get Wikipedia to stop deleting The Psychotic Hour entry. Hell even John Moore made it in.

There's a movie in this

This is too funny.

We are being looked over by children

A major conservative American lobby group is set to unleash a campaign of protest against Australian tourism's "where the bloody hell are you?" TV advertisement.

The American Family Association (AFA), which has more than two million members and leads campaigns against abortion and gay rights, was upset with the bikini-clad model Lara Bingle's use of "bloody" and "hell" in the ad's tagline.

I feel the AFA needs be offended more often.

BTW, "British TV authorities dropped a ban on the use of the word "bloody" after pressure from Australia, but now Canadian authorities are unhappy with the way the ad portrays beer drinking."

We are ruled by children.

The Psychotic Hour presents Future Morning

Sad

Sad when only an ABC show has the nerve to say something.

Good Riddance

Milosevic found dead in his cell

I did work in the '90's for the Tribunal in the Hague, and was exposed to descriptions of the acts of this and other monsters of his kind.

The Earth can not rid itself of such people fast enough.

"It looks like a giant iPod"

Yes it does.

After bitterly complaining about Apple's jump to Intel, on Saturday I went and got one (an iMac).

So far so good, I can't really run anything of much use on it yet (though it is very quiet and well behaved so far). Much better audio/visual capabilities than my old G4. Shared library crashes iTunes though.

It is fun to run two networked computers at once.

This is too funny

Python in '75

That's just nasty

Yes, I am still miffed with Apple for fucking us over with the Intel change, but my eyes are still working...

Every once and awhile they will release a product who's design makes me cringe.

This is one of those times. The new Apple iPod Hifi.

What were they thinking? Like the desklamp iMac, I wonder sometimes how these designs make it through the process.

The retro look is fine, but bad retro? Sheesh, there isn't even descent speaker separation.

Next!

Too soon

Vernisage?

I keep forgetting that no one in Ontario knows what a vernisage is, what I attended this evening was called an "opening reception".

Michel Dauda, already a talented photographer, has launched an exhibit of "photo based digital art" at Apostolis Gallery in Toronto until February 18th, with the original flowers supplied by Suzanne Garnder.

It was jammed. All the beautiful people were there, along with international celebrities Chester Wong and Simone Denny plus representatives of the media, the art/leather community as well as one or two members of the Russian Mafia.

By 9 pm, he had already sold two works. Now wonder he's smiling.

What were you thinking?

Canada Conservatives win election

To my fellow Canadians: fuck fuck fuck!

People really are as stupid as they seem.

Say "Cheese"

Friends and I watched the opening episode of season 2 of "Battlestar Galactica" on Saturday.

I was no fan of the old show, as at the time it was seen by all viewers but 4 year olds as a blatant rip-off of "Star Wars", without the wit and talent.

(my dislike has another reason as well..in 1978, 2 episodes of "Battlestar Galactica" were released theatrically outside of the U.S. as a "movie", to cash in on "Star Wars". Of course audiences weren't told they were paying for a television show, but it became painfully obviously once the "film" rolled. Not in widescreen, with substandard effects, the "movie" conveniently rapped up one storyline mid way, only to begin a new story...just like as if we were watching 2 episodes of a tv show...hummmm)

Well, those 4 year olds are all grown up, they see BG as some classic of American television (where we all know that honor must go to "The Beverly Hillbillies")

Now, to give the show credit, it is the best of the line-up of Sci-fi shows currently on-air. The space battle effects are the best on TV, ever.

But, and it's a big one...it is so damn depressing (no less than a baby and little girl have to die in the series opener...oh yes and most of humanity...).

No one, not one character cracked a smile. No humour, nothing.

It is all dark dark dark. Dark=profound in many people's minds (the latest Batman for example), and this show must be seen by them as Biblical Profound.

It takes itself *so* seriously, but it's message (for all the protestations otherwise) is very simple. Life sucks but we are noble, they are out to get us, trust no one.

No wonder it's a big hit in the U.S.

It's the Mother

There's a trailer up for an indie version of Beowulf called "Beowulf & Grendel".

I can't decide if this lower budget affair will be worth the watch, or be closer to Lee Major's classic "The Norseman".

Well duh

While checking my site's stats, I came across a blog that was discussing Orson Welles' famous Findus Foods commercial outtakes (something The Psychotic Hour has used since the beginning), and had linked to Tph's dance version:

Norway V2

There is also a site that tries to prove the connection between The Brain and Orson Welles, not something that needs much proof.

Yes.
