Re: John Cage: 4'33''
The laughter at the brow wipe ruined it all. People knew what to expect. And the commentators at the end seemed almost patronizing of the event. Either that or they were the self-fellating artsy types.

Re: John Cage: 4'33''
UGH! John Cage created this as a surprise to the audience. It was never meant to be duplicated, and in fact CAN'T be duplicated because the audience knows what's coming, thus ruining the entire experience.
Pointless.

I should have known this would be full of bullsh*t when a talking cartoon bear started to present it.

Re: Three Torture Myths
"Interviews" like this really bother me. I know, at some point in the near future, I will have to debate someone who watched this, and they will spew back all those mindless talking points. This is nothing more than one man's opinion. His previous employment does not lend itself to increased credibility of said opinion.
You want a valuable interview, how about asking questions on how he feels we can repair the damage wrought by our interrogation methods? There's something worth talking about. Don't dwell in the past, look for solutions for the future.

Re: Hockey Non-Fight
Uh, so, two Canadian teams disappointed America? I hope by "America" you mean North America, as opposed to The United States of.

Re: The Story of Stuff
So grossly over-packed with misinformation I wanted to stab myself no less than five minutes in. Sustainable resources, cyclical product cycles, all good concepts, great concepts even. But to present such topics with gross overstatements and half-truths does a disservice to those who are uninformed, and slaps the face of those who actually care.

Re: Rock Band: ...And Rock Band for All
Perhaps you misinterpret the intentions of a video game. Do you play Counter Strike in the hopes of learning to kill people? TheSims in the hope of learning to live a productive life? No. I haven't played Rock Band, but I thoroughly enjoy Guitar Hero, Wii Tennis, etc. Not because I have any aspirations of learning to play a guitar, or tennis, but because I enjoy playing video games with my friends. No one picks up Guitar Hero and thinks "Sweet, I'm finally going to learn to play the guitar." The two events are completely and totally mutually exclusive. Although I have noticed actual guitar players have the finger dexterity to kick my ass in Guitar Hero.

Re: Brian Williams Corrects Uneducated Fox Viewer
FAIL!
Every major news outlet broadcasting in the USA today is owned by a larger corporation. NBC is owned by GE, a company with its own agenda and countless weapons contracts with the US.
SNL spoofed this a few years back:
