    Stealing cable?

    Up here we audit all the time and if someone is stealing cable we usually find them pretty quick. I've talked to many people before who called/e-mailed to rat out their neighbors. Fun stuff.

    A little surprised I haven't seen this here...

    That isn't even funny kkk. If I found the parent's of this child I would beat the living shit out them with a metal shovel without question for doing this to an innocent child. Tom and kkk can spout off his bullshit about certain people not having kids and that's fine but he and kkk seem to imply that the child deserved it so fuck them.

    Halftime band performance used Nazi flag...

    I would wonder also where they got the Nazi flag.
  13. VATICAN CITY - Ailing Pope John Paul (news - web sites) II is "in a bad way," one of his closest advisers said in an interview published Tuesday, calling on the faithful to pray for him. An aide to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, however, told The Associated Press that the comments in no way indicated John Paul's health had worsened in recent days. Instead, they reflected concern about John Paul's frailty, the aide said. The Polish-born pontiff, who was elected as pope in 1978, is 83 and suffers from Parkinson's disease (news - web sites). "He is in a bad way," Ratzinger told the German weekly Bunte, which said its correspondent spoke with him at the Vatican (news - web sites) on Sept. 22. "We should pray for the pope." Those comments to some degree only confirm what's been obvious in John Paul's recent appearances, but also raised concerns the pope's health might have deteriorated beyond what has visible to all. However, Ratzinger's aide, the Rev. Georg Gaenswein, said Ratzinger's remarks did not mean John Paul's health had worsened in recent days. He said Ratzinger's remarks came in response to a request by a group of visiting German brewers to have an audience with the pontiff while they were in Rome. "They were told, 'Unfortunately, this is not possible. The pope's health doesn't allow him to make a lot of physical effort,'" Gaenswein recalled. Gaenswein noted that conserving strength was particularly important in the run-up to a heavy schedule John Paul has given himself for the month of October, including celebrations of his 25th anniversary as pope. On Sept. 23, the pontiff came down with an intestinal ailment that caused him to skip his weekly general audience the next day. Asked whether Ratzinger's comments indicated any change in the pope's condition, the Vatican press office replied by noting that John Paul would resume the general audience on Wednesday. The pope will also celebrate a Mass on Sunday on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica to raise three churchmen to sainthood, the Vatican announced Tuesday. Canonization ceremonies generally last about two hours, an indication that the pope's doctors think he has the stamina for the appearance. The Vatican recently also announced that the pope is forging ahead with plans to visit a Marian sanctuary in Pompeii, southern Italy, on Oct. 7. On Sunday, John Paul spoke with great difficulty and stopped to catch his breath several times as he announced the appointments of 31 new cardinals from his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square. Asked whether the pope is taking on too much given his state of health, Ratzinger was quoted as telling Bunte that "that is very probably the case." But, pressed as to whether he could dissuade the ailing pontiff from loading himself with duties, he added: "that's something other people must do." Bunte described the cardinal as speaking in an interview, but Gaenswein denied that a formal interview had been granted. The magazine quoted Gaenswein as saying of the pope: "He cannot walk and stand any more, but for the faithful he is a hero."' Ratzinger, the Vatican's top guardian for doctrinal orthodoxy, celebrated a roughly 1 1/2-hour Mass on Saturday the basilica, a memorial ceremony for John Paul's two predecessors in which the pontiff read the homily. In the last couple of years, top aides have filled in for the pope during several ceremonies in celebrating Mass, while John Paul presides. ------------------------------------------------ And we will await the death wish comments from the usual suspects.

  15. Official info with price, specs, & extras 9/29/2003 I know, I know...we've been teasing you for almost a week now with bits and pieces about a DVD release for Curb Your Enthusiasm. Well, HBO and distributer Warner Brothers has finally let loose with the official goods, and here's what they've got to say: He's got it all, a loving wife, good friends, a successful career, a good home... What could go wrong for Larry David? Curb Your Enthusiasm stars Seinfeld co-creator Larry David as himself in an unsparing, cinema verite depiction of his life. Featuring real life celebrities playing themselves, the episodes are improvised by the actors from storylines by David. As you can tell from this now-easy-to-see cover art graphic, HBO is having a lot of fun with "The Many Moods of Larry David" (gee, they all look the same, don't they?). They also make it clear that this contains "10 Episodes Plus the One-Hour Special". Still planning to street on 1/13/04, this 2-Disc 390-minute set will list for $39.98. Video will be Full Frame (1.33:1), and stereo soundtracks and subtitles are all available in English, French, and Spanish. The supplements announced for these DVDs are: Audio commentary with Larry David, Jeff Garlin, Cheryl Hines, and Bob Weide; an exclusive interview with Larry David conducted by Bob Costas of HBO's "On the Record", and episodic previews. Join the Golden Globe winning show this coming January for their rookie season full of great guest shots including those by Kathy Griffin, Ten Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Diane Keaton, and Seinfeld's Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

    MPAA To Ban Screeners?

    MPAA To Ban Screeners?

    No more home-alone screenings of Oscar contenders? Screening tapes--and more recently DVDs--for award-eligible films have been a given for Academy voters for several years. It's been a combo perk/privilege to be able to sit home in bed and decide whether Tom did a better job than Jack, or Gwyneth was more effective than Meryl. But this year, those who skip out on the showings at their neighborhood multiplex in favor of their home theaters may be SOL. That's because the Motion Picture Association of America is trying to get the major studios to stop mailing out DVD and video screeners, claiming the practice leads to piracy. Tinseltown has been in a tizzy ever since late Tuesday, when, according to Daily Variety, the MPAA sent studio honchos a draft of a proposal recommended a ban on screeners. Now, the suits are reportedly discussing whether such a move would be advisable, or even possible. Although purists would like the mailings ended, believing it a disservice to any filmmaker to have his or her big-screen project viewed on the boob tube, turning the clock back is considered unlikely--at least for this season. One studio source suggests to E! Online that stopping screeners is "a perfectly rational" concept, which might be possible to implement next year, but not in the few weeks remaining before campaigning begins in earnest for the upcoming February 29 Oscar ceremony. It stands to reason that the studios' major releases, which are afforded splashy premieres and wide release--wouldn't be as harmed by a screener ban as the companies' art-house divisions, whose films are only given limited releases, or those truly independent studios, who have used to mass-mailing of screeners to help level the playing field. The MPAA proposal is directed not just at major distributors, such as Fox or Disney, but also those giant's subdivisions, i.e., Fox Searchlight and Miramax. Even DreamWorks, a MPAA nonsignatory, is involved. But, according Variety report, it is not yet know whether the watchdog group has also approached real independents like Lions Gate, Newmarket, Magnolia and ThinkFilm, none of which is an MPAA signatories. Some conspiracy theorists see the maneuver as a way to guarantee Oscar goes to major studios at the expense of the little guy, who really needs the exposure brought by home screenings bring. Other show-biz types question the parameters of the award season. We know when it ends--Oscar nomination ballots have to be turned by 5 p.m. on January 17, and the final ballots returned by 5 p.m. February 24--but when does it officially begin? Finally, there is the battle for eyeballs between the freebie screeners--which are forbidden from having anything other than the movie--and the consumer DVDs, which can have oodles of viewer-friendly extras. For example, likely Oscar player Seabiscuit will be out on video in time for the holidays. While voters would have to pony up some cash for the horse opera, its availability could give it an edge over other films that won't be out until months later. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (news - web sites), which moved up the Oscar ceremony to attempt to regain some of the luster stolen by the numerous other award shows, has declined to comment. The Academy does not supply its membership list to the studios sending out screeners, has always proselytized for films to be seen on the big screen, either in theaters or at arranged studio screenings, and has, in its never-ending effort to halt excessive campaigning, managed to curtail the elaborate packaging and accompanying gift books that at one time accompanied the screeners. The practice of sending screeners has also ballooned beyond just Oscar voters. The Directors, Writers and Screen Actors Guild (news - web sites) all get screeners, as does the Golden Globe-selecting Hollywood Foreign Press Association and various critics' groups, among others. At the same time, theaters owners have taken a stance against the long-held practice of providing free admittance to members of these guilds and associations. The MPAA, which is desperately trying to keep the movie biz from following the path of the piracy-ravaged recording industry, has already floated several other proposals to curtail copying. But the studios haven't backed such measures as disposable DVDs or discs with on-screen imprinting, designed to make the source of any illegally dubbed or distributed copies more easy to trace. Calls to the MPAA were not returned, and studios contacted had no official comment.

    Warner's Wife Whines On The Radio

    ST. LOUIS -- The wife of benched St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner sounded off again Monday, saying in a radio interview that a trade would be welcomed after the season if the situation stayed the same. Last season, Brenda Warner called a radio show to complain that she -- and not coach Mike Martz -- had suggested that the two-time MVP have his injured hand X-rayed. The X-ray revealed a broken hand that Warner had been playing with. On Monday, Brenda Warner told "Steve and D.C." on The Mall that her husband wouldn't mind changing teams. "Probably, just from the point that we want to play, he wants to play, plain and simple," Brenda Warner said. "So, if he's not going to play here, then he wants to play somewhere. "You just want to be wanted, like anybody, whether you're a D.J. or whatever you do." Marc Bulger has started ahead of Warner the last two weeks, although Martz said at the time of the change that it wasn't necessarily permanent. Brenda Warner reiterated that a new city would be fine if her husband doesn't get his starting job back. "So you know what?" Brenda Warner said. "We're open for anything. We've always said we trust God in everything that happens for us. This is one of the things that we've got, again, to put our trust in Him and know that He'll take care of us." Kurt Warner told TV station KSDK, for whom he's paid for weekly interviews, that he's beginning to think about life after the Rams. "I'm starting to imagine it a little more every day, I think," Warner said. "It's not something I think about often, it's not something I want to transpire. "But with the way it looks like ... the direction of this team is going, it's a distinct possibility." Last December, Brenda Warner called KFNS to complain her husband had his broken hand X-rayed at her suggestion. "Martz had nothing to do with it," Brenda Warner said then. "All week long I said, 'Kurt, I'm a nurse, you should go get it X-rayed.' The doctors never once said he should get an X-ray. (They) said, 'No, it's only bruised."'
