When Jack Thompson Talks to God *** UPDATE: Attorney Jack Thompson now sends this video out with his press releases while claiming the shooting at Virginia Tech was caused by videogames like Counterstrike. Emberwilde Productions thanks Mr. Thompson for the publicity! *** "When Jack Thompson Talks to God" (a Bright Eyes parody written by Danny Ledonne and Cory Antiel) When Jack Thompson talks to God Is the cross examination short or long? Does he ask which airways are too lewd and file complaints with the FCC too? Does God suggest who Jack should sue When Jack Thompson talks to God? When Jack Thompson talks to God Do they speak plainly or in legalese? Is he certain of the Word he's heard? Is every song either clean or obscene? Does God's verdict ever change his mind When Jack Thompson talks to God? When Jack Thompson talks to God Does he spoil the child by sparing the rod? Agree which radio hosts should be stopped? Which charges should stick or just be dropped? Who played GTA and then killed some cops While Jack Thompson was talking to God? When Jack Thompson talks to God I wonder which gets offended or called the fraud "This shooter game is a murder simulator!" "It's free expression, Jack, you attention whore predict Columbine for 60 Minutes more that's what God recommends When Jack Thompson talks to God Do they chug milkshakes and watch CNN and FOX while they pick which massacre to chase which songs are fine and which are a disgrace? I guess God just condemns it all to save face When Jack Thompson talks to God When Jack Thompson talks to God Does he ever think that maybe he's not? That that voice is just inside his head Just his own self-righteous crusade instead Does he ever smell his own bullshit When Jack Thompson talks to God? I doubt it. Yeah I doubt it.

An Experiment A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that has the property of reading the same in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing. The word "palindrome" was coined from Greek roots palin (πάλιν; "back") and dromos (δρóμος; "way, direction") by English writer Ben Jonson in the 1600s. The actual Greek phrase to describe the phenomenon is karkinikê epigrafê (καρκινική επιγραφή; crab inscription), or simply karkiniêoi (καρκινιήοι; crabs), alluding to the backward movement of crabs, like an inscription which can be read backwards. The most familiar palindromes, in English at least, are character-by-character: the written characters read the same backwards as forwards. Palindromes may consist of a single word (civic, level, racecar, Malayalam), or a phrase or sentence ("Neil, a trap! Sid is part alien!", "Was it a rat I saw?", "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm", "Sit on a potato pan, Otis", "Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas", "Rats live on no evil star."). Spaces, punctuation and case are usually ignored. Some palindromes use words as units rather than letters. Examples are "fall leaves after leaves fall", "First Ladies rule the State and state the rule: ladies first" and "Girl, bathing on Bikini, eying boy, sees boy eying bikini on bathing girl". The command "Level, madam, level!", composed only of words that are themselves palindromes, is both a character-by-character and a word-by word palindrome. A palindromic number is a number where the digits, with decimal representation usually assumed, are the same read backwards, for example, 58285. They are studied in recreational mathematics where palindromic numbers with special properties are sought. A palindromic prime is a palindromic number that is a prime number. A palindrome in which a recorded phrase of speech sounds the same when it is played backwards was discovered by composer John Oswald in 1974 while he was working on audio tape versions of the cut-up technique using recorded readings by William S. Burroughs. Oswald discovered in repeated instances of Burroughs speaking the phrase "I got" that the recordings still sound like "I got" when played backwards. In the automata theory, a set of all palindromes in a given alphabet is a typical example of a language which is context-free, but not regular. This means that it is theoretically impossible for a computer with a finite amount of memory to reliably test for palindromes. (For practical purposes with modern computers, this limitation would only apply to incredibly long letter-sequences.) Additionally, the set of palindromes cannot be reliably tested by a deterministic pushdown automaton, and is not LR(k) parseable. When reading a palindrome from left-to-right, It is essentially impossible to locate the "middle" until the entire word has been read. Then there's this film...

Playing Columbine trailer On April 20th 1999, the United States was rocked by a horrific school shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. In the years to follow, many forms of media began to sort out the events of that day. Books were published. Films were made. Then in 2005, one Colorado man created an amateur videogame exploring the actions and possible motives of the two shooters. That game was downloaded over half a million times, became immensely controversial and brought a pressing question to the public discussion: we can read Columbine, we can watch Columbine, but can we play Columbine? Moreover, should we? In the documentary "Playing Columbine: a true story of videogame controversy," the history of "Super Columbine Massacre RPG!" is traced back to its inception, through the 2006 shooting at Dawson College in which the game was singled out by the media as a "murder simulator" that "trained" the shooter, and finally the game's removal from the list of finalists at the Slamdance 2007 Guerrilla Gamemaker Competition - prompting half the entries and a sponsor to pull out of the festival in protest. Clearly the game has polarized audiences worldwide, giving way to ardent defenders as well as staunch critics.

Save Snippy Only YOU can help save Snippy, the World's Most Famous Horse, but time is quickly running out... Snippy's story and fame raced around the globe when she became the first reported case of "Unexplained Animal Mutilation" (better known as Livestock Mutilation) on September 7, 1967 on the King Ranch located at the base of Mount Blanca in the San Luis Valley. Now whether you believe Snippy's death was caused by alien beings or not has no bearing on the fact that she is a part of the SLV's history -- one of the more famous parts. So why in the heck does a dead horse need saving? Very good question! The problem is Snippy is to be auctioned off on eBay on February 26, 2007, and the chances are great that she will end up some place far, far away. I don't find that acceptable, and frankly neither should you! So what can you do to help? So glad you finally asked because... Anyone wanting to donate to the San Luis Valley Museum (no amount to small or too big) in order to help them try to save Snippy, and who wouldn't want to help save a genuine piece of history, may send checks earmarked with a Save Snippy notation to: The San Luis Valley Museum PO Box 1593 Alamosa, CO 81101 We have a very short time to raise money to Save Snippy so please help with as generous a donation as you can, just as soon as you can -- right now even, before it slips your mind Tags: save snippy emberwilde san luis valley paranormal ufo animal mutilation horse history alien murder mystery |
