  1. Thank you for finding that, I like that no one seems too upset about being duped
  2. Who will the torch be passed to? The guy retiring....or the guy retiring?
  3. I think Sleepover or Bewitched should count.
  4. Not really. The ratings have stayed pretty consistent. They were destined to fall once summer ended
  5. With Survivor Series coming up, anyone have some matches?
  6. I read that everyone in Borat signed a waiver that gave the studio the right to defraud them
  7. From the AP- Humiliated frat boys sue 'Borat' 46 minutes ago SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Two fraternity boys want to make lawsuit against "Borat" over their drunken appearance in the hit movie. The legal action filed Thursday on their behalf claims they were duped into appearing in the spoof documentary "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," in which they made racist and sexist comments on camera. The young men "engaged in behavior that they otherwise would not have engaged in," the lawsuit says. "Borat" follows the adventures of comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's Kazakh journalist character in a blend of fiction and improvised comic encounters as he travels across the United States and mocks Americans. The plaintiffs were not named in the lawsuit "to protect themselves from any additional and unnecessary embarrassment." They were identified in the movie as fraternity members from a South Carolina university, and appeared drunk as they made insulting comments about women and minorities to Cohen's character. The lawsuit claims that in October 2005, a production crew took the students to a bar to drink and "loosen up" before participating in what they were told would be a documentary to be shown outside of the United States. "They were induced to agree to participate and were told the name of the fraternity and the name of their school wouldn't be used," said the plaintiffs' attorney, Olivier Taillieu. "They were put into an RV and were made to believe they were picking up Borat the hitchhiker." After a bout of heavy drinking, the plaintiffs signed a release form they were told "had something to do with reliability issues with being in the RV," Taillieu said. The film "made plaintiffs the object of ridicule, humiliation, mental anguish and emotional and physical distress, loss of reputation, goodwill and standing in the community," the lawsuit said. It names 20th Century Fox, a unit of News Corp., and three production companies as defendants. Studio spokesman Gregg Brilliant said the lawsuit "has no merit." The plaintiffs were seeking an injunction to stop the studio from displaying their image and likeness, along with unspecified monetary damages. "Borat" debuted as the top movie last weekend with $26.5 million.
  8. http://www.anarchymusic.net/2006/10/post_40.html#more Interview with Punk
  9. Not the funniest episode, but damn this was great TV.
  10. When did Ricky and Bonnie split up? All I know about Bonnie is from To Be the Man where Flair talks about how she hates him
  11. It's actually the Rent is Too Damn High party. I almost voted for him too You have to go to their website- dude is one scary looking nigger. I'm gonna vote legit, except for attorney general. I might write in Borat.
  12. I got my ballot today. Who should I vote for?
  13. Cena/Sabu/Lashley/Kane/RVD v. Show/MVP/Finlay/Test/Umaga Okay, that one's gonna suck
  14. Survivor Series 99, X-Pac v. Kane
  15. Horrible comparison. Rock and Austin were two of the biggest stars EVER. No one is going to reach that. And Cena's over, he makes a lot of money, he's justified as a main eventer. Having him Honky Tonk his way to the title is an awful move.
  16. Or any of those teams? The Leafs need to be in a division with Montreal and Ottawa. And no Messier division- ugh
  17. Britney turns to turn on K-Fed and align with Cena. That'd be amazing
  18. It was a decent match with some awkward spots, but the heel/face aspect made it fun. Bulldog stopping his team from getting the win was hilarious. Ditto HBK's apathy at Sid getting eliminating
  19. Voodoo Kin Mafia See- Voodoo Kin Mafia= VKM= which are the initials of Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Amazing
  20. Well there's no love lost between Matt and Edge- so it makes sense. Mike fucking Knox in a match with DX is amazing.
  21. I wonder what 4 people that match will come down to? But Punk teaming with DX is kind of awesome
  22. And it rocked, IIRC
  23. Leafs win again. Start the parade on Yonge Street
