The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Maybe violent movies and video games are the real problem?
Guns, they're everywhere, in the movies. Orgies of violence, glorified in Technicolor, with Dolby Surround Sound and 3D special effects stream into our living rooms 24x7 on HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, and Starz. World of Warcraft is the #1 selling video game in the nation. And every weekend theaters across the land show trailer after trailer for the latest shoot 'em up extravaganza before getting down to business with the main attraction, starring automatic weapons, spectacular explosions, and close-ups of maimed bodies oozing blood and gore.
But with nary a cigarette or can of beer in sight because that might send the wrong message to our impressionable youth.
Presumably then, gratuitous violence and swaths of destruction which rival Sherman's march to the sea are the right message. Because Hollywood sure does love their cinematographic firepower. Curiously though, they hate my legally purchased, safely locked away, carefully handled guns. Believing in the Second Amendment makes me some kind of dangerous Right Wing Extremist.
Making movies where guns outnumber people and blood flows like water? That makes them artists.
It also makes them
culpable.
