Only a movie of the stature of the upcoming Sexina: Popstar PI could combine such diverse talents as Adam West and former Monkee Davy Jones. The movie, about a pop star who moonlights as a crime-fighting detective, features West as an evil music mogul setting out to knock Sexina off her perch. Jones, in true James Bond fashion, recorded the movie’s rousing theme song. The film also includes cannibals, ninjas, a man in a bear costume, and the students of “Britney High School.”

A recent radio ad for a Ford Dealership in Southern California reads:
“…did you know that 86% of Americans say they believe in God? Now, since we all know that 86 out of every 100 of us are Christians who believe in God, we at Kieffe & Sons Ford wonder why we don’t just tell the other 14% to sit down and shut up.”
The ad goes on to say that though it might have offended that other 14% of Americans, tough noogies because “it’s called free speech.” You remember free speech, don’t you? It’s that thing where you tell people who disagree with you to “sit down and shut up.”

Quentin Tarantino spilled the beans about his new flick over at Cannes, reports Slashfilm. But the fan reaction is doubtful that he can actually wrangle the flim — a WW II romp called Inglorious Bastards — in time for the 2009 release he referred to at Cannes.
Can Tarantino really do it? Just to recap his directing oeuvre (complete movies only), with years:
1992: Reservoir Dogs
1994: Pulp Fiction
1997: Jackie Brown
2003/2004: Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2
2007: Grindhouse
You make ‘em wait, they love you more.

Read about this on the Christian Newswire via The Raw Feed. What’s even more news to me than this particular post-Rapture messaging service is this line from the Christian Newswire piece:
“Unlike other post-Rapture mailing services, the You’ve Been Left Behind website allows the customer to edit all documents and addresses at any time.”
Unlike OTHER post-Rapture mailing services? There’s more than one? is this a whole cottage industry I somehow missed?
The Rapture, according to the Bible, is when Jesus Christ comes back and takes all true believers to heaven. All the true believers will up and disappear, hence creating a need for an automatic email delivery service to the heathens.

This stunning and disturbing photo essay posted on the Skyscraper City message boards will stick with you long after you’ve viewed it.
From the post:
“Everywhere we entrench ourselves against the oppressed. In New York, steel bars shot up over windows at the same speed that steel shrapnel had been spewed at poor Vietnamese. The more people struggle for a so-called “freedom” without social justice, the more they cut themselves off from it, and many Americans can today look at huge army billboards from their own steel barred fortification.”
