A Linkless News Entry

Most of the stories here are printed in full because the stories vanished the
next day and the same link takes a body to the new updated page that does NOT
have yesterday’s news in it. For this reason, some links are real and some are
fake. But don’t think of this as a mistake – think of it as one more way for me
to ambush you.

Spielberg Donates $1.5
Million to Tsunami Victims
“Hollywood
director Steven Spielberg is donating $1.5 million to the post-tsunami relief
effort, and hopes his actions will encourage other wealthy celebrities to do the
same. The Raiders Of The Lost Ark filmmaker’s cash pledge will be split
between charities Care, Save The Children and Oxfam. Generous Spielberg
usually keeps his charity donations a secret, but wanted this contribution to be
announced in a bid to persuade others to donate, his publicist says.
The news comes two days after Speed actress
Sandra Bullock revealed she’s giving $1 million to help the humanitarian crisis
in south-east Asia.”

I’m sure that is exactly why Spielberg is
publicizing his latest charitable donation. I am sure the fact that the tsunami
is already big news and that he and other celebrities are trying to capitalize
on this disaster to trump up their own image has nothing to do with it.

Another excellent example of this crap is the fact that Christina Aguilera, Sheryl
Crow and country star Tim McGraw are performing for a charity telethon to
raise money for the disaster. Only problem is, all of these stars have more
money than GOD, so why the fuck do they
need to RAISE money if they are really sincere about helping out? Maybe because
then they won’t get to promote themselves as decent human beings, as if that is
any excuse to buy their shitty music.

Oliver Stone Blames Anti-Gay
Sentiment for ‘Alexander’ Flop
“Only days
after accepting part of the blame for the box office failure of Alexander
in the U.S., director Oliver Stone has attributed the
disastrous performance to ‘raging fundamentalism in morality’ in America.
Speaking at the London premiere of the movie Wednesday night, Stone said, ‘From
day one audiences didn’t show up. They didn’t even read the reviews in the South
because the media was using the words: ‘Alex is Gay.’ As a result you can bet
that they thought, ‘We’re not going to see a film about a military leader that
has got something wrong with him.’ Reviews of the film in London appearing today
(Thursday) were as faultfinding as they originally were in the U.S.”

Let me take a better stab at it, Mr. Stone. Maybe people don’t like this
movie because Colin Farrell is a no-talent hack, the movie sucks ass, and the
only selling point that you could contrive for this doomed catastrophe was by
making the main character gay. Too bad he never paid attention in history class,
or he would have realized that the dogshit sitcom Ellen tried the same crap, and
it didn’t work then either. Somehow, I doubt that this wasn’t Mr. Stone’s ace in
the hole. Make a shitty movie, rewrite history so the main character is gay to
get people to see it, and if people don’t, blame rampant homophobia on the
collosal failure instead of acknowledging that this movie had a snowball’s
chance in hell of succeeding. I’ll bet the makers of Troy are kicking
themselves in the ass now that they realize that they could just as easily made
the same easy scapegoat for their shitty disappointment by making Brad Pitt gay
too. I am just surprised that more gay activists aren’t getting pissed off that
their own cause is being trivialized to promote crappy Hollywood pictures.

Democratic
Leadership Rethinking Abortion
What really pisses me
off about this whole Abortion issue is how many assholes say, “conservative judges might
overturn Roe v. Wade.” My argument is “Who gives a shit?” The way I see
it, if a legal justification can be made for overturning precedent, more power
to them. After all, that is exactly what happened with the “Seperate But Equal”
law. Or are you bastards saying that the world is better off with segregation as
long as legal precedent is maintained, you witless fucks?

Adult
Physical Fitness May Be Affected by Race
I think this is an excellent
example of how American schools have failed to teach today’s Americans how to
think critically. The headline to this article is a reference to a test that
shows that people of African descent are somehow less physically fit than their
Causasian counterparts because their race is making them less healthy. Nice
presumption, but totally false:

“‘Despite being older, Caucasian
patients in our study had significantly higher exercise capacities and lower
obesity levels than African Americans, suggesting that some races may be more
susceptible to increases in weight and decreases in fitness levels,’ Lavie said
in a statement from the American College of Chest Physicians.”

What
does this prove? That African Americans on the average, may be in worse health
than Caucasians. But is that saying that race CAUSES this to happen? NO. It is
called correlation, and saying that being Black makes you more predisposed to
obesity based on the results of this experiment is like saying that diet soda
makes people fat cos when you look around, most people drinking diet soda are
overweight. The relationship is correlated, but without a controlled experiment,
there is no way to really prove conclusively that RACE or even genetics is the
underlying cause of the lack of fitness. Environmental and cultural conditions
have to be considered as well. It is very possible that elements associated
almost exclusively with Black people may be responsible for physical fitness
differences, but that is certainly not shown in this experiment. Somehow though,
I doubt a whole lot of people who read the rag known as Reuters are going to
even bother thinking about this. And as far as I am concerned, anyone who has
bothered forming an opinion on this issue or any other without even considering
what I just said is a fucking fool.
