Fuck Penn and Teller

"Let's get one thing clear: Penn and myself would strangle every monkey on the planet if it meant saving the life of one AIDS victim." -Penn Juliet

Their Show, Bullsh**, is nothing more than propaganda. The formula is simple, pick a topic, find two polar opposite points of view, align yourself with one of them, and choose the most unflattering footage of the other to disparage them, while elevating whatever footage of the side you agree with to the point of "expert" opinion, with no actual evidence to support this elevation of source. In the Peta episode, a talk show host is elevated above a chair of a philosophy department. You do not need to be Derrida to read between the lines here.

To return to Penn's quote above, I need to say he is a coward, because he suffers from nothing more serious than megalomania and obesity and doesn't have to make a decision about strangling monkeys (luckily). A truly brave man is Richard Pryor. He suffers from MS, and actively campaigns for animal rights, and supports SHAC, refuses to accept the assumption that the suffering involved in animal testing is a validated by the cure of a human disease, even a disease that will most probably kill him.

Dave- my favorite meal is probably beans and rice. I never get tired of it.
that picture is from 03, more are forthcoming.


I found this article about a race of mexicans/indians that are the world best runners (by far). The most interesting thing to me is that they are vegetarian, and their currency is beer. WTF?!?!?!? Perhaps this is the "real" happiest place on earth.

Karla Homolka was released yesterday, or the day before. I've been obssessed with her and her husband since their activities came to light in 93 or whatever. While everything they did is compelling I think her sister's murder was the most compelling. For what it's worth, I've always seen her as an active participant in all they did, and as such, was not acting only as an abused wife, victim of the Stockholm syndrome, or whatever. I think she is a true psychopath. That's probably what makes her compelling. They are making a horrible seeming film about them and the trailer seems to suggest that the film makers disagree with me.

The first link is 31 pages or whatever. It is worth reading every word.

Harmony Korine is one of the only directors worth caring about.
