“America’s Next Top Model”, featuring Tyra Banks pretending she has talent, is going to have contestants pose as “another race” for a photo shoot. Reality television, fake as it is, has never really been any stranger to controversy. But, leave it to ‘brilliant’ people like Tyra Banks to think that painting white people black for [...]

The Washington Redskins are **SUFFERING** under Daniel Snyder’s ‘leadership’.
Posted in Humor, Pop Culture, Sports, TV & Film, Talk Soup, news, rant, tagged Bum, Daniel Snyder, Football, Loser, Moron, NFL, Redskins, Washington Redskins on October 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The Washington Redskins, as a team, are sucking, and very badly. They’re performing badly. Even some players are questioning the way the team is being run. Fans hate Daniel Snyder. Many vocally, and quite visibly, want him gone. Snyder does not have many friends, if any, among the team’s loyal fans.
What does the team management [...]
Why isn’t someone crushing the Somali pirates?

I seem to remember reading, long ago, another organization of pirates attempted to blackmail nations by controlling passage through and around their territory. It led to armed conflict with many deaths.
What I most wonder, now, with all this technology, all these advances, all this ‘growth’, why are criminal thugs still such a threat in the [...]

Home Depot has fired Florida employee Trevor Keezor for ‘violating the dress code’. Specifically, he wore a pin on his uniform that had “One nation under God, indivisible.” on it.
Keezor claims he was wearing the pin for over a year without incident. Home Depot chose to fire Keezor, suspiciously, after he began bringing his Bible [...]
The still-business-friendly truth behind Obama’s climate bill.

Barack Obama wants people to believe he’s not a yes-man to big business. He’ll tout his words. He has to tout his words, because, in the big picture, he hasn’t *DONE* much. He’s claimed much, but the legwork, planning, and execution almost entirely falls on other people.
But, he can’t even talk his way out of [...]
“The Fourth Kind” is complete fraud, but it’ll draw an audience of ’suckers’.
Posted in Pop Culture, Scams, TV & Film, Talk Soup, news, rant, tagged Alaska, Alien Abduction, Fake, Fourth Kind, fraud, NBC Universal, Nome Alaska, Universal Studios on October 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
They’ve been billing “The Fourth Kind”, a film featuring alien abduction, as a fact-based thriller type of film. Except for one problem. It isn’t anything of the sort. It’s another Blair Witch Project, which they had to trick you into the theaters with clever orchestrated bogus reports on the then Sci-Fi Channel. Unfortunately for people [...]
Awards for nothing.

Barack Obama, commander-in-chief during a multi-country war, wins a Nobel prize for “peace”, while making decisions that will ultimately bring our nation further into a war posture.
Now, the wife of Japan’s Prime Minister is given an award for looking good in a pair of jeans. Well, at least she actually wore the jeans, and apparently [...]
The Heene family’s stunt could have been planned with media help.

There has been ’speculation’ (so far) that the “balloon boy” hoax could have also involved an unnamed media outlet. Sheriff Alderden wouldn’t name the media outlet, but hinted it was a show that “blurs the line between entertainment and news”, and that it had a deal of some kind with regard to the balloon incident.
