The best news from ComicCon in several years -- on one of the many movie preview/rollout panels on the ComicCon slate, an enterprising conventioneer stepped up to a microphone and asked Megan Fox to make a sex tape. I haven't looked for a URL, but apparently the flacks and hacks didn't take too kindly so such a question, and that's plain funny. The fact such a question was asked may seem highly outrageous, perverted, and maybe even creepy to the point of being threatening. If you subscribe to either of the above sentiments, please get the hell off my lawn, and take the 'entertainment' industries with you. P.S. The correct answer for such an inquiry is "Not until the 14th minute". |

Apparently, herds of brown people are clogging traffic on Sandy Springs Plantation, because AJC is reporting the 'city' has passed an ordinance, billed as requiring hiring vehicles to remove themselves from traffic. Now, it could be that in the two years since I've lived in that neck of the woods, that 18 months of housing market downturn and 9 months of economic downturn have resulted in masses of 'free range laborers' accumulating at intersections and home-improvement stores throughout North Fulton county. The correct answer is the various restrictions on when/where people can be hired for jobs. TFA glosses over these points, buried halfway into the article. I'll skip that blather and go straight to the money shot: That distance {of day-laborer prevention}, that of a football field . should keep traffic on busy I- 285 and GA-400 moving, {Police Chief Terry Sult} added. Color me "skeptical." If any commuters on top-end 285 or GA-400 either (a) experience speed-limit traffic when the sun is shining, or (b) spot herds of brown people massed in and around the medians, aprons, or traffic lanes of these highways or cross-streets, please let me know. I almost forgot -- I bet this portion really targets the bums/panhandlers on the exit ramps. Since measures to directly restrict such activity are generally frowned upon in courts, perhaps the Plantation has granted legitimacy to panhandling by categorizing such activity as 'Day Labor'. |

Any bets on how long ajc.com will run the Orange County Register's story of of the craigslist bartered wedding? I'd be surprised if an editor or city official wasn't awakened with an emergency call, alerting him/her to the transgression. For those who are not in the loop, craigslist is a sworn enemy of the local powers that be. The party line is that craigslist is to be associated with such corrosive forces as prostitution, murder, and child exploitation. It's rather difficult to perpetuate such 'brand management' when you're running stories like the one linked above. Update: Order has been restored; the story was buried (off the navbar and linkset) sometime this morning. |
