    SNL: Tina Fey IS Sarah Palin

      It’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between Sarah Palin and Tina Fey. Not even joking. Her parody is that spot on. See original Palin interview video here.

    “PALIN”: “Like every American I’m speaking with, we are ill about this. We’re saying, ‘Hey, why bail out Fanny and Freddie and not me?’ But ultimately, what the bailout does is, help those that are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy to help, uhhh, it’s gotta be all about job creation too. Also, too, shoring up our economy and putting Fannie and Freddie back on the right track, and so health care reform and reducing taxes and reigning in spending…’cause Barack Obama, ya know, has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans, also, having a dollar value meal at restaurants. That’s gonna help. But 1 in 5 jobs being created today under the umbrella of job creation. That, you know. Also…..”


    Thanks C&L

    Jack Thompson Disbarred : 15 Minutes Of E-Fame Hopefully Over?

    Well At Least He Now Has Time On His Hands To Finish The Darn Game

    I'm not the kind of person to kick a person when they are down. I am the kind of person to laugh at a person when they are down.  Let's be honest...when someone falls in the street, initially you are concerned.  You want the person to be okay and you may even go the extra mile of extending a helping hand. Once they have their faculties about them, you are able to laugh about the then frightening occurrence.

    Jack Thompson has had his fair share of slip ups and miscues [which just so happen to be captured on video and in this very brog]. He has been a strong proponent for the banning of most of the most popular video games with the ESRB rating of 'M'. He has issued ultimatums to gaming sites and the journalists of the more popular enthusiast outlets.  He has blamed the deaths of children in households and college campuses on games like Halo 3 and the Grand Theft Auto series, all the while representing the families of the victims of very real atrocities.

    The fact that Thompson was disbarred in Florida over a litany of issues does not give me joy or feeling of accomplishment.  I'm actually quite worried if this is the last we will hear from our passionate politician. He could technically pass the bar of the 49 other U.S. states if AND ONLY IF, he has a friend-lawyer who could vouch for his conduct in the courtroom.

    IndieCade: International Festival Finalist: "The Graveyard"

    Thanks to Joystiq for posting this clip.

    Here we have one of the finalist for the IndieCade: International Festival. I don't know that it is...or what it is about, but when that song kicks in, it seems to be setting the stage [as if being in a graveyard isn't enough] for something a lot more tense and creepy.

    Word is...if you download the beta you get a nice extra twist!

    R.I.P "PrideFC", Welcome "Dream Inc"

    Wow...that's a lot of old dudes.

    As one who is a huge fan and ex-practicioner of what I guess would be called mixed-martial arts now, I still morn the loss of Japan's biggest fighting spectacle; that is Pride FC. Pride was purchased by Zuffa LLC. last year in an attempt to 'consolidate' a then burgeoning sub-culture.  Zuffa is most known for it's american mixed martial arts staple UFC, which is [in this broggers opinion] inferior as far as a company goes in regards to the treatment of their fighters.

    For the past couple months I've been watching old footage of Pride fights and thinking about 'what could have been' had Pride been able to capitalize in the same matter as the UFC company. You can click this link for the wiki article on the history of Pride, it is very thorough. Pride has had it's far share of blemishes as well, but the biggest would be its parent company DSE [Dream Stage Entertainment] and its possible dealings with the yakuza.

    This isn't a post about the bad though...this is a post about the good and i think possibly great! Feburary marked the start of Dream. One of the founding members and a good majority of the background staff and backers of Pride FC decided to start all over again with Dream. Rekindling the rules and showmanship of what we got to know from Pride.
