Proving that the new Predator film (Predators?) is missing the point entirely is the sneak peak over at the film’s site. In addition to starring Adrian Brody (?!), producers have gotten creative with the Predators themselves, adding more creatures like what I assume is Predator’s dog Fido, below:
Part of the attraction of the first film was that it was a lone creaturethat was picking off the toughest, most beefed-up American heros ever. And using stealth to do it. Their guns and brawn were pointless in the face of this myserious enemy. And in the end it was intelligence and cunning, not muscle, to defeat it.
Via the Telegraph, here’s a commercial from the Israeli supermarket chain Mahsaney Kimat Hinam spoofing the (probably) Israeli assassination squad hit in Dubai. Can you say, Clio!?
Over at Say Anything Blog “North Dakota’s Most Popular Political Blog™” it appears they’re featuring content from past years. Like this 1991 debate about gays, AIDS and blood donation.
Oh wait, what’s that? This is a debate from two days ago? Oh my. Good to see rationality and factual information have finally started making it to North Dakota.
I have simply no idea why so much of the nation thinks about the wonderful Peace Garden State as an intellectual backwater full of hypocrisy about free living and individual rights.
Remember when The Wolverines were favorably compared with the mujaheddin? I wonder if after they were victorious and drove the Russians out they instituted some kind of draconian rule based on literal interpretations of ancient religious texts? Guess we need a sequel.
Student newspaper The Badger Herald recently made the very stupid decision to run a Holocaust-denying ad on its website. The editor’s defense? “As much as I hate what I think Bradley Smith [the man who bought the ad] was trying to say in that ad, and as much as I hate what the Holocaust deniers are saying, they do have a right to say it.”
Um… I see a fine future for this Jason Smathers fellow; In the current climate who doesn’t want an EIC who will take any amount of ad money for any crazy thing?
Following last year’s “East Coast Jewish Honeys” rap, the University of Wisconsin-Madison student body is quickly redefining the campus from a hotbed of crunchy hippie liberal idealism to one of cultural intolerance and antisemitism. That’s not going to help property values.
Full Disclosure: I wrote various (terrible) articles for The Herald’s competition “The Cardinal” years ago just before the Cardinal, the “commie” student paper, went bust after a century.
Yes, the post office.. the employer of Mr.McFeely and my grandma (no joke).. is now an evil socialist entity that is to be here on out referred to in right-wing blog headlines as a “monopoly.” You know, like the socialist monopoly held by the police force.
It appears Breitling not only seems to not care about this but also, with help from John Travolta, has taken bad watch product placement to a whole new level. And, despite my earlier claims about why watch placements are bad — “The brands don’t show up and even when they do they are onscreen for such a short period that there is just no way an audience is going to leave the theater an hour later remembering if Capt. Awesome wore a Seiko or a Swatch.” — Breitling has engineered a plan to help audiences recall its brand. Too bad the plan sucks.
A while ago I took a look at the
