RFTG | Josef Mengele Action Figure

Now you can have your very own 12" action figure of the famous Nazi doctor.

They also have Hitler. You can get 2 Hitlers for $300. Not bad.



 
DRM is a futile strategy

"Making art feel free, without being free, is the history of media. Radio, television, newspapers, magazines – almost all take a loss on distribution. The expanding media buffet encourages experimentation, opening paths for previously dead art and new and unusual art; control, on the other hand, can chill expression with its toll on privacy, fair use and other liberties.

We will reward artists and rights holders without control over customers because the customer is always right, whether or not we agree with them. Failure to acknowledge the customer’s supremacy will prove poisonous to a global entertainment economy now dependent on hooking the world’s appetite for style and its sponsors. "

Betty Bowers Reviews Eminem's Movie 8 Mile

"While many unobservant, secular theatergoers will think 8 Mile is simply a story about how a cute white boy can do the one thing urban Negroes seem to value – only better -- I, as a True Christian, quickly saw the real message of this movie. Not that keeping minorities in their place isn't an important Baptist pastime, but there are even more enjoyable things going on here. As soon as I saw Eminem surrounded by a hostile city of swarthy Negroes, I immediately thought of another light-skinned, Nordic-eyed person who had also been forced to live with dark-skinned riffraff who never bathed: Jesus!"

Newsday.com - White House Wages Stealth War on Condoms

"The government is waging a covert war on condoms.

The start of hostilities wasn't announced from the Oval Office. Nor was it put to a dramatic vote in the Congress.

This is a guerilla war. The insurgents inch forward with determined steadiness, and a certain stealth."

Stephen Crane - The Black Riders and Other Lines

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter -- bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
