  1. Kane, free speech isn't an issue here, since the president of a privately-owned media conglamerate can basically dictate what his employees can and cannot say.

    I know. Sometimes I just can't hide my disgust for people who weild so much power and have so much when so many have so little, but that's off-topic to this discussion.


  2. A personal web blog in which he publically insulted the man that SIGNS HIS FUCKING CHECKS.

     

    What kind of world is it that people are SHOCKED to see someone fired when they openly insult their boss.

     

    Go in you bosses office and insult him now. Go do it. Where did that get ya.

     

    He will have another job soon, and he had every right to say what he wanted but they had every right to fire him.

     

    Rule number 1 of the real world: Don't make personal insults about your BOSS in public where your BOSS can see them.

    I understand and agree, but it's just that yelling about your boss publically is one thing. It's another to have a blog with a user handle (anyone could arguably be named "Easterblogg") which means someone either hunted it down or knew about it and ratted him out.

     

    However, if he alluded to his blog in one of his ESPN articles, then he can be held accountable at his job for anything on that blog (not that he can't already). In the end it's definitely his fault, he maybe should have had a more annonymous name.

     

    It's not that I don't think he deserved it, I'm just amazed that with the size and anonymity of the internet, somehow something as small and insignificant as a web blog got found out.


  3. Ok, I did it. My trick was to pick Shawn Michaels. Mostly because it eliminated the computer from being one of the few guys guaranteed to kick your ass.

     

    The superkick only KO's half the time, so when the opponent is down and out, you can pull off a couple taunts. In fact, taunting is the only problem with him, since it's hard to walk up while doing it.

     

    Michaels must also have good defensive stats, because no one got control of me for too long without me executing a reversal.

     

    ...Yeah, and that video is so not worth it.


  4. Why make long term plans for a movie based on that guy? First of all, it treats him like he's not even a human being, and most imporantly, his 15 minutes of fame were up YESTERDAY MORNING. NO ONE will see this movie in a couple years, still thinking that the fan incident is funny.


  5. Chester is the one that ruins the band. They always inject a screamed melodic chorus in songs where it isn't needed, hoping for a hook.

     

    That 2nd single, the one with the Chinese movie sounding sample, is great until the unneccessary chorus. The whole song should have been rapping over that cool sample; instead they force a hook in there.


  6. There was no one there willing to stop this bitch? I'm not surprised, giving societal apathy.

    Yes, I find this nation's priorities extremely fucked up. People want to KILL that poor Cubs' fan, when a sports season is not the end of the world, but there was no pileup on someone who harmed a child in full public view?

     

    Granted, she was pregnant with her own innocent little parasite who would have been unfairly harmed in any fray that ensued...


  7. Woman Gets Jail In Assault On Boy, 4

    Hot French Fries Smashed in Face

    A woman who chased a 4-year-old boy through a McDonald's restaurant in Montgomery County, pinned him in a headlock and screamed obscenities as she smeared his face with hot french fries was sentenced yesterday to four days in jail and ordered to attend anger management and parenting classes.

     

     

     

     

    Milikia Hayes, 18, of Gaithersburg was nearly nine months pregnant with her first child when the incident took place in May. The boy, whom Hayes did not know, accidentally smeared ice cream on her clothing at a McDonald's in Germantown, authorities said. The boy had turned around while he was in line ahead of Hayes, and his ice cream touched her sleeve.

     

    Hayes started screaming at the terrified boy, who ran from her, authorities said. After catching him, Hayes smeared "boiling hot, greasy french fries" on his face, said State's Attorney Douglas F. Gansler.

     

    "The boy was scared to death," Gansler said. "It is incomprehensible to think that an adult would attack a child of any age in such a manner."

     

    Hayes pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. A Circuit Court judge sentenced her to 18 months in jail, with all but four days suspended, and ordered her to attend the classes.

     

    Hayes told authorities that she was on her way to a baby shower and was wearing one of her nicest shirts when she stopped at the McDonald's about 5 p.m. May 17.

     

    "Clearly, her own behavior was inappropriate and egregious for any adult, much less someone about to have her own child," Gansler said. "In getting this type of sentence, we hope it will ensure that she's learned a valuable lesson and will help her in raising her own child."

     

    After the assault, the boy's eyes were swollen, Gansler said. Although he suffered no serious physical injuries, "we don't know what kind of emotional and psychological damage he's had," Gansler said.

     

    Hayes's attorney, Charles Lazar, did not return several phone calls seeking comment yesterday.

     

    "We thought it was important to prosecute her for the conduct," Gansler said. "It was also important for the 4-year-old boy to understand that what this defendant did was wrong and that she was punished for it."
