Batman News: The Joker Revealed Early
Heath Ledger as The Joker
First new pictures of Indiana Jones and now the leaked January edition of Empire Magzine featuring Heath Ledger as The Joker.Empire Magazine has launched their new edition with a fantastic picture of Heath Ledger as The Joker originally as a teaser.
The site claimed "He is coming..." and featured the image of Heath Ledger but with playing cards over The Jokers face.
That's a moot point now as we all know who "He" is and we all now have access to the full picture.
If you dig this type of movie news than you'll have to check out this cool site called Movie Marketing Madness. This dude combs the 'net for stuff like this. That makes us happy.
Hells Yeah! New Indiana Jones 4 Pictures
Throw me the whip and I'll throw you the idol!AICN has blessed us all with new and exciting pictures from the upcoming Indiana Jones 4 flick. Harrison Ford steps back into the leather coat and whip and looks all the part of Indiana Jones.
Dweeb Shia LaBeouf, who has the worst name of any actor, plays Indiana Jones son. Karen Allen returns as Indy's former flame. No word yet that we know of on who is Shia's mother in the flick but we' assume it is Allen's and Ford's. Cate Blanchett plays a bad, Russian chick who probably needs a spanking. We assumed that, too.
(via Cinematical) The plot of the film has been kept hidden from us for quite some time, though small nuggets of info have leaked out. We know that Karen Allen will reprise the role of Marion Ravenwood, and that LaBeouf is Indy's kid.
Cate Blanchett reportedly plays a Russian bad girl, while Indy will be off in search of the elusive crystal skulls. Some folks claim the film will return to the warehouse seen at the end of Raiders -- the one that holds the Ark of the Covenant -- though we still don't know for sure.
Either way, I must say old Harrison Ford looks pretty good for his age. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull arrives in theaters on May 22. Check out the other two images after the jump.

Washington Redskins Safety Sean Taylor Dies After Gunshot
A Redskins fan stands at the parking spot of Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor at Redskins ParkSad news from the sports world. 24-year old Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died early Tuesday, a day after the Pro Bowl player was shot at home by what police say was an intruder.
"His father called and said he was with Christ and he cried and thanked me," said Sharpstein, Taylor's former lawyer. "It's a tremendously sad and unnecessary event. He was a wonderful, humble, talented young man, and had a huge life in front of him. Obviously God had other plans."
Sean Taylor died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been airlifted after the shooting early Monday, Sharpstein said.
Sean Taylor was the Washington Redskins first round pick in 2004.Doctors had been encouraged late Monday when Sean Taylor squeezed a nurse's hand, according to Vinny Cerrato, the Redskins' vice president of football operations. But Sharpstein said he was told Taylor never regained consciousness after being transported to the hospital and that he wasn't sure how he had squeezed the nurse's hand.
"Maybe he was trying to say goodbye or something," Sharpstein said.
Sean Taylor was shot early Monday in the upper leg, damaging an artery and causing significant blood loss.
"According to a preliminary investigation, it appears that the victim was shot inside the home by an intruder," Miami-Dade County police said in a statement.
But police were still investigating the attack (pictured below), which came just eight days after an intruder was reported at Taylor's home. Officers were dispatched about 1:45 a.m. Monday after Taylor's girlfriend called 911.
Sharpstein said Sean Taylor's girlfriend told him the couple was awakened by loud noises, and Taylor grabbed a machete he keeps in the bedroom for protection. Someone then broke through the bedroom door and fired two shots, one missing and one hitting Taylor, Sharpstein said. Taylor's 1-year-old daughter, Jackie, was also in the house, but neither she nor Taylor's girlfriend were injured.Police found signs of forced entry, but have not determined if they were caused Monday, or the previous burglary.
The shooting happened in the pale yellow house he bought two years ago in the Miami suburb of Palmetto Bay. Eight days before the attack someone pried open a front window, rifled through drawers and left a kitchen knife on a bed at Sean Taylor's home, according to police.

Finding A Nintendo Wii For Christmas With Wii Tracker
Since the Nintendo Wii launched in November of last year, the video game console has become a cultural phenomenon, selling out across the country and topping children's and adults holiday wish lists.
As a result of the increasing demand and ongoing supply issues, Nintendo has been unable to keep the console on store shelves, forcing many parents to spend their days camping out in front of local electronics outlets.
Here in Knoxville there's not a Nintendo Wii to be found. We did, however, spot the Guitar Hero III at the Target the other day. We're willing to bet they will all be gone when we check back tomorrow.
Desperate Wii-hunters in Canada have developed an online Wii tracker that should be able to help you in your search. The tool scans the stocks of Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City, Costco, Future Shop and Toys R Us for consoles and reports them on its website.

Microsoft Windows Vista Voted Worst Tech Product
How bad is Windows Vista?
Well, time will tell on that one. Rival Apple is setting records in sells and XP, the previous windows system, has seen dramatic increases in sells coupled with lawsuits from people who were not allowed the option to get XP on a new computer. XP is still an option on new computers from Dell and other manufacturers.
While the dust is settling on what could be the biggest blunder by the bullies at Microsoft since Windows ME, cNet has gathered a list of worst tech products with good, old Windows Vista at the top of the list.
Older white women join Kenya's sex tourists
Bethan, 56, lives in southern England on the same street as best friend Allie, 64.
They are on their first holiday to Kenya, a country they say is "just full of big young boys who like us older girls."
Hard figures are difficult to come by, but local people on the coast estimate that as many as one in five single women visiting from rich countries are in search of sex.
Allie and Bethan -- who both declined to give their full names -- said they planned to spend a whole month touring Kenya's palm-fringed beaches.

Sean Taylor, once a member of the Miami Hurricanes, has had various NFL and legal problems in the past including DUI's and gun charges.

26-year old Casey Calvert, Guitarist for Hawthorne Heights, Dead
Casey Calvert, guitarist for post punk/ rock band Hawthorne Heights, was found dead early Saturday morning. Calvert was 26-years-old.
According to several accounts Casey Calvert appeared healthy on Friday night while spending time with friends before going to sleep for the night. Those same reports indicated that Casey Calvert passed away at some point while sleeping.
Calvert’s sound played a big role in Hawthorne Heights and its highly successful second album If Only You Were Lonely which debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts and produced the hit single “Saying Sorry.”
Hawthorne Heights had a show in Detroit, Michigan on Friday night and was scheduled for a show on Saturday in Washington D.C.
The official site of Hawthorne Heights posted a message on their front page stating:
“Today is probably the worst day ever. Its with our deepest regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before sound-check. We've spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we're not sure what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don't contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don't want his memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know.” (source)

University of Tennessee Going To SEC Championship
Atlanta, here comes the Vols! Fans in Knoxville are busy making their trip plans to meet up at the SEC Championship at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 1st.
A spirited game between the Tennessee Volunteers and Kentucky Wildcats was finally decided in 4 Overtimes. We are staring in disbelief at the TV wondering how in the world the UT Vols came out of Kentucky with a win after the 4 OT's. Not that Tennessee didn't deserve it. The boys played hard, as did Kentucky, but it was just one of those games where a lot of funky stuff happened. There was no telling who was going to win this one!
UT blocked a FG attempt in OT and almost ran it back to win the game. The teams traded points in the OT until Kentucky failed on the final 2-point conversion. If you missed the game you missed out on a great one. There were over 1,000 net yards by both teams along with 13 TD passes, 5 interceptions, and over 100 pass attempts.
The game was sloppy and the run defenses were non existent which led to a high flying offensive showdown that was highly entertaining. Kudos to the squad for pulling out a championship season out of one that started out very poorly.
However, the best part of the day was when Georgia was eliminated from the SEC Championship with UT's win. Mmmmmmm....tastes sweeter!
Now, it's on to Georgia to meet LSU. We think we'll try to get in a wager with Cajun Boy since he's a Tiger fan. So, if you're a Vol fan be sure to head over to Cajun's site and leave a comment. Tell him we sent ya!

Red Hot Chili Peppers Sue Showtime Over 'Californication'
The Red Hot Chili Peppers filed a lawsuit on Monday against Showtime Networks over the name of the David Duchovny series "Californication," which also happens to be the name of the band's 1999 album and hit single.
"Californication," which debuted in August, stars former "X-Files" lead Duchovny as novelist Hank Moody, who is struggling with a midlife crisis in the midst of a serious bout of writer's block. The title of the show isn't the only Chili Peppers reference.
In fact, actress Rachel Miner (pictured left) plays a secretary named Dani California, the same name as the hit single the Peppers released in 2006, featuring a character that has appeared in several of the group's songs. (Interestingly, that song was widely criticized at the time of its release for its striking similarities to Tom Petty's 1993 hit "Mary Jane's Last Dance"; both songs were produced by Rick Rubin.)
According to a statement issued by the band's management, the suit alleges unfair competition, dilution of the value of the name and unjust enrichment, claiming the title is "inherently distinctive, famous ... and immediately associated in the mind of the consumer" with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Singer Anthony Kiedis said in the statement, " 'Californication' is the signature CD, video and song of the band's career, and for some TV show to come along and steal our identity is not right." The suit claims that in creating, marketing, promoting and distributing the show, the defendants have been "fraudulent, knowing, willful and wanton" by appropriating the title of one of the band's biggest sellers, which it said has moved 14 million copies worldwide and was nominated for a Best Rock Album Grammy.
Rachel Miner, the punky secretary, was once married to Macaulay Culkin. Yuck!

We're Thankful for Gwen Stefani
It's Thanksgiving weekend and we're thankful for a few things like beer, nachos, guitar hero, and Salma Hayek.
While we sat down this week in front of our deep-fried turkey with nacho cheese sauce, we got to thinking of some of the greater things in life. Like Gwen Stefani. Not her solo music, mind you.
The No Doubt stuff is great but we're not into that new, pop shit she does.
We'll always cherish that time in concert way back in the day when No Doubt opened for Bush. We saw her throwin' winks our way the entire night and we even had the security guys escort us backstage at her request.
We were unlucky, though, when that Gavin dude cock-blocked us and we ended up in the corner all night talking to some roadie about how no one appreciated the 3 of us.

NFL Network vs. Comcast
Beware football fans.
If you're trying to catch the NFL Network on Comcast, which we have here in Knoxville (channel 180 here), it is not a free channel. You have to subscribe to their sports tier to get the NFL Channel which was not the case last year.
The NFL Network will show some Thursday night and Saturday night NFL games this year starting with the Colts/Falcons game Thanksgiving night. If you don't have the NFL Network you can go to their site iwantnflnetwork.com where the NFL informs you on why the cable providers are charging you for their service while the satellite providers are not.
What they don't really tell you is that the NFL Network wanted those providers to put their network on the upper channel numbers for better placement. Comcast said NO, they'll put the NFL Network where they want and a lawsuit came to be.
Comcast won the case and now the NFL is telling football fans on their iwantnflnetwork site their side of the story which has the cable companies seeing red. Mainly because the NFL is suggesting that if the cable companies won't give you the channel than you should switch providers.
Nintendo Wii pulls even with Microsoft's Xbox 360Nintendo Wii pulls even with Microsoft's Xbox 360
In the battle for supremacy in the video-game world, Nintendo's Wii has now matched the Xbox 360 in total market share, despite the Microsoft Corp. console's one-year head start.
But the Xbox 360 is still maintaining a sizable lead over the console that might be considered its more direct competitor, Sony's PlayStation 3.
That's the statistical backdrop as the competition enters a pivotal phase -- Friday's start of the holiday shopping season. A large portion of video-game console sales are traditionally made in November and December.

Thanksgiving NFL Games
If you need an excuse to drop out of the living room than the NFL has 3 games lined up again this Thanksgiving. The first 2 games you can get over the air but you'll need satellite or extended cable to see the last.
Game 3 is Indianapolis Colts at Atlanta Falcons which will air on the NFL channel. Most satellite has that channel in the low 200's and should be part of your package. However, if you have cable, most providers have stuck the NFL channel onto their sports premium lineup which means even though you got it free last year you'll have to pay around $3-5 a month to get it this year.

Crazy Florida Woman Puts Baby in Heated Oven
Putting a baby in an oven is not exactly the best holiday story to come around in awhile. An Orlando woman was charged with turning on an oven and putting her baby in it.
Sharlyn Singh faces aggravated child abuse charges.
Authorities said a man helping the woman's boyfriend move out of their apartment after the couple broke up heard the baby crying and found it in the oven. Singh had left the apartment by that time.
The oven wasn't hot enough to burn the child.
The Ron Paul Express keeps rolling
Ron Paul was able to raise more than $4.2 million on his campaign in a single day via the Internet earlier this month. This week, other figures stand out: Ron Paul attracted a crowd of more than 1,000 people in Nevada, and a new poll showed him doubling his support in New Hampshire.
As is increasingly the case with Ron Paul, the audience that came to hear him speak Monday in Las Vegas was not only large, it was enthusiastic. A story in the Las Vegas Review-Journal has the details and the atmospherics.
In New Hampshire, the survey of likely Republican primary voters by CNN and Manchester-based television station WMUR found backing for Paul jumping from 4% in a September poll to 8% now. In July, Paul was at 2% in the poll; the geometric progression clearly is a trend the Paul camp wants to see continue.
The Bachelor Brad Womack Pick
ABC's publicity wing is in full gear as their reality show "The Bachelor" came to a close with a no-decision.
This season's beef-cake was Brad Womack who had to choose between 2 viable hotties to spend the rest of his life with.
At least that's what we've been told. Reality shows are about as "real" as cartoons but without the entertainment value. We were just tickled that Brad Womack had the choice between the final 2 girls and chose none.
Ouch!

Technology Outpaces The Law - Megan Meier MySpace Suicide Case
How evil is a person that a law does not exist yet for the horrible crime they committed?
For the case of Megan Meier, now known as the MySpace suicide, the answer may never be known. (need info on the case? Get caught up with Lori Drew - Dave and Thomas Asshole Of The Year. Meet The Mother That Drove Megan Meier To Suicide)
Most everyone in Missouri knows now of Lori and Curt Drew. Lori Drew, a middle-aged housewife in DARDENNE PRAIRIE, Missouri, is accused (and in a police report admiting to) harassing 13-year old Megan Meier to such an extent that Megan hanged herself in her closet.
Trouble is that law enforcement, allegedly local and federal along with law firms, claim there is no law broken by Lori Drew even with a digital trail of her harassment along with Megan's parents depiction of the ordeal.
After months of little action by anyone, the story of Megan Meier and her elder stalker/cyberbully Lori Drew, took off on the Internet. Bloggers are credited as to revealing the identity of Lori and Curt Drew when a local newspaper refused.
With fuel added to the fire, the case is taking on great significance as angry people are reading the horrors of Lori Drew and are sickened by the lack of action by law enforcements. Wired and CNet are reporting the case is being looked at again and hopefully some sort of law or civil suit will be pulled from the dust. CNN and Today have done reports on the story and now the attitude toward the Drew's is so vile that almost all of the neighborhood has shunned the Drews.
Law makers and enforcers have failed on 2 fronts. They have failed to protect an innocent teenage girl and in turn have created a mob mentality as people demand justice. And rightfully so.
"The problem, police and prosecutors say, is that technology is outpacing the law.
In some cases, said Jack Banas, St. Charles County prosecutor, the trouble is with evidence, and tracking the source of threatening Internet messages. "It may not be your neighbor who is sending it to you," Banas said. "It may be someone from another country."
In other cases, laws don't yet address online misconduct.
"It's a vast problem," he said.
And a national one.
In Florida, Jeff Johnston, 15, hanged himself by his book-bag strap in 2005 after three years of cyberspace bullying. His mother and principal had tried to stop the threats but couldn't.
In Vermont, Ryan Halligan, 13, hanged himself four years ago, after instant messages insulted and threatened him for months.
And here in O'Fallon this past April, a teen, now in college, got more than 500 sexually threatening and harassing messages through MySpace — the same social networking site Megan used to meet and talk to the fictitious Josh Evans.
Sometimes law enforcement can find ways to prosecute the bullies. But much more often, the indiscretion doesn't fall into an existing crime category." (source)
Vick Begins Jail Time For Dogfighting Early
NFL star Michael Vick (A.K.A Ron Mexico)turned himself in on Monday to begin serving his prison time for helping to run a dogfighting ring, a U.S. Marshal said, although he is not due to be sentenced until December 10.
Vick, one of the most famous players in the National Football League, pleaded guilty in August to charges that he and three other men took part in an illegal dogfighting enterprise known as "Bad Newz Kennels" at Michael Vick's home in Surry County, Virginia.

The First "Last Starfighter"
"Do you want to play a game?"
OK, that one's from WarGames, the 80's movie which stared Matthew Broderick as he was going through puberty.
WarGames is just one of a handful of memorable flicks from our 80's childhood that we still hold dear. We're not saying they're great flicks, just ones that stuck with us. Kinda like Ferris Bueller, Adventures in Babysitting, Buckaroo Bonzai,...you get the picture.
There's also a neat little 1984 Sci-fi flick called The Last Starfighter which was centered around a teen who beat a video game, called Starfighter, and in turn was recruited by an alien group to save their planet.
Funny thing is there really isn't such a game. You'd think a Hollywood studio would at least try to capture that audience. Hell, even E.T. had a video game and that came out years before.
Granted, E.T. the video game is still considered the worst game ever made but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.
Well, finally some dude decided the world need the arcade game that was used in the movie. He custom made his own game and cabinet to everyone's joy. The original arcade game was destroyed after the movie filmed which brings a tear to our eyes.
At a site called RogueSynapse you can see that they wanted to fill the void and not only create a new arcade game case but a full, functioning game based on the movies video game. Nice!

Lori Drew - Dave and Thomas Asshole Of The Year. Meet The Mother That Drove Megan Meier To Suicide
Some people are born evil.
Hitler...
...Stalin...
...Lori Drew.
At the end of the year, which is only a little bit off, we were going to name the 1st Annual Dave and Thomas Asshole of the Year Award. There's lots of candidates out there. We were angling toward Lindsay Lohan or Barry Bonds.
Both are cancers on society.
There were a few others to consider, but then came the story of Megan Meier. We think it's safe to say we have a winner.
Everybody. Meet Lori Drew. Our Asshole of the Year!
Picture this. Last year, a middle age mother jumps on MySpace to harass a former friend of her daughter. And by harass we mean pose as a young boy from Florida who gains the trust of Megan Meier, a 13-year old girl who had battled depression over the years. Knowing all of Megan's faults and innermost secrets, Lori Drew gathered others to help pretend to be a young, 16-year old boy named Josh Evans.
Drew and her co-horts got to know Megan and then maliciously started to break her down with violent messages. They began circulating false bulletins and spreading vulgar rumors about Megan.
According to Ron Meier, Megan's father, the last message that Lori Drew and Co. sent to Megan was:
"Everybody in O'Fallon knows how you are. You are a bad person and everybody hates you. Have a shitty rest of your life. The world would be a better place without you."
Why is this so important?
Law enforcement claims there are no laws on the books to enforce what Lori Drew did. Hmmmm ....that's interesting.
We're not gonna claim we're lawyers but we find it hard...no, impossible, to believe that no law out there protects a minor from harassment of an adult who conspired and designed a plan to systematically destroy a child. And encouraged others to join in.
(from Bluemerle) Lori Drew explained the communication between the fake male profile was (aimed) at gaining Megan's confidence and finding out what Megan felt about her daughter and other people. Drew stated she, her daughter, and Ashley all typed, read, and monitored the communication between the fake male profile and Megan. Drew went on to say, the communication became "sexual for a thirteen year old." Drew stated she continued the fake male profile despite this development.And the local law enforcement finds no laws that were violated.
According to Drew "somehow" other "my space" users were able to access the fake male profile and Megan found out she had been duped. Drew stated she knew "arguments" had broken out between Megan and others on "my space". Drew felt this incident contributed to Megan's suicide, but she did not feel "as guilty" because at the funeral because she found out "Megan had tried to commit suicide before."Wow! What an asshole Lori Drew is made to be.
One of the most sickening moments of the story is when Lori Drew allegedly found out about Megan Meier's tragedy after an ambulance arrived at the Meier's house and called others involved to tell them not to mention what they had done with the MySpace accounts.
(From St. Charles Journal) The neighbor from down the street, a single mom with a daughter the same age as Megan, informed the Meiers that Josh Evans never existed.
She told the Meiers that Josh Evans was created by adults, a family on their block. These adults, she told the Meiers, were the parents of Megan's former girlfriend, the one with whom she had a falling out. These were the people who'd asked the Meiers to store their foosball table.
The single mother, for this story, requested that her name not be used. She said her daughter, who had carpooled with the family that was involved in creating the phony MySpace account, had the password to the Josh Evans account and had sent one message - the one Megan received (and later retrieved off the hard drive) the night before she took her life.
"She had been encouraged to join in the joke," the single mother said.
The single mother said her daughter feels the guilt of not saying something sooner and for writing that message. Her daughter didn't speak out sooner because she'd known the other family for years and thought that what they were doing must be OK because, after all, they were trusted adults.
On the night the ambulance came for Megan, the single mother said, before it left the Meiers' house her daughter received a call. It was the woman behind the creation of the Josh Evans account. She had called to tell the girl that something had happened to Megan and advised the girl not to mention the MySpace account.
Neighbors and locals of the Drew's are none too happy, either. At the site RottenNeighbors, the Drews are outed for their address and a rather 'lively' forum on what people think of the Drews is included.Many are even protesting the Drew's company, Drew Advantage. We haven't been able to find out what that business does exactly (something with local advertising) but it was easily found and listed as 2977 Highway K Ste 200, O Fallon, MO 63368-7862, Phone: (636) 272-2670 (source)
If you really want in on the story, hit this forum where people are going nuts posting info, addresses, and threats.

Want Free Tuition? Go See The Lady Vols Play
Even Tennessee, the NCAA's top draw in women's basketball, knows it takes more than seven national titles to put fans in the stands, especially students.
"One of the things we have always heard from students is that they have so much going on. So I said, 'What can we do to entice you?'" said Jimmy Delaney, the Lady Vols' marketing director.
The promotion Delaney and coach Pat Summitt came up with? Free tuition.
"In the realm of women's basketball, we are always trying to be the leader," he said.
The Lady Vols will give away a year's in-state tuition for 2008-09 to a student who attends at least 10 of 14 home games. The winner will be picked randomly from those eligible, tallied electronically when they swipe their student cards at the gate.
It's a $6,000 value.

Badjojo TV - Episode 2
Time for more Badjojo!
Our favorite Japanese show (next to Human Tetris) involves playing pranks on people. This episode of Badjojo involves a rigged porto-potty which lifts up the person inside above the unit so everyone can see him doing his business.
Badjojo TV
Badjojo videos. We love 'em. You don't need to understand Japanese to have a good laugh. We bring you Badjojo, the show from Japan where they pull pranks on people. This first clip of Badjojo involves a chair that flings people out of a sauna, usually naked.
The second part of this Badjojo video gets real creative with a chair that turns into a rocket powered sled that sends a naked Japanese dude down a ski slope. Classic!
New Pictures From Cloverfield Movie
We're so excited to see the new J.J. Abrams "Cloverfield" flick if for nothing else than to see NYC get stomped on. We really have nothing against the city. In fact, it's one of favorites. However, we love a great disaster movie. (Get caught up on Cloverfield Here)
There's a new trailer online that should get you excited to see the movie, too. (See: ) And, today 12 pictures from the movie were put online that help bring the movie's story full circle. Kidding. They just show a bunch of silly kids running from the Cloverfield monsters.

From 2 Girls, 1 Cup to the BME Pain Olympics Videos - The Interent Has Scared Us
Joe Rogan watches the 2 Girls and 1 Cup video for the first time, and then he shows us something worse. It's called the BME Pain Olympics and it makes 2 Girls, 1 Cup look rather tame. For the most part.
Joe Rogan gives us his reaction to both videos. Actually, he's already seen the BME Pain Olympics and makes his friend watch it for the first time. The extremely bloody BME Pain Olympics is a video of dudes takeing meat cleavers to their junk. It's highly disturbing. 2 Girls, 1 Cup is more just the grossest thing on the Internet where the BME Pain Olympics is one of the most disturbing videos out there. It's right up there with watching Katie Couric do the news.

Blog Readers Out Anonymous Adults From Megan Meier MySpace Suicide Story
On Tuesday the St. Charles Journal in Missouri published a sad story about cyberbullying that drove a 13-year-old girl named Megan Meier (pictured left) to commit suicide last year. Meier had been harangued by one of her MySpace friends named "Josh Evans" who sent her a barrage of hateful comments that sent her over the edge.
It turns out that Evans was a pseudonym created by two adults -- one of whom knew the Meier family very well. The St. Charles Journal decided to protect the privacy of the two adults and declined to name them in the story. Their names are Curt and Lori Drew. (If you're so inclined, you can find the address and phone number for Curt and Lori Drew in the comments section here. We don't know if it's real, but that's the Internet for you.)
That didn't sit well with incensed readers, who tracked down what they say is the identity of one of the adults and posted it online. Now the paper is being criticized for giving the adults anonymity.
To give you a little background:
Megan Meier, who had trouble controlling her weight and was self-conscious about it, was thrilled when a 16-year-old hottie calling himself Josh Evans approached her online one day and asked to be added to her MySpace friends list. The two became fast friends, though they never met in person. Then one day Evans turned on Meier and began sending her hateful messages. His negative comments grew in intensity and left Megan feeling deeply wounded. Already prone to depression and low self-esteem, she took the attacks on her worth to heart and hanged herself.

Heidi Klum And Spice Girls Light Up Victoria's Secret Lingerie Runway Show
Heidi Klum and the Spice Girls helped draw attention to the Victoria's Secret Lingerie Runway Show. While it is surely difficult to upstage almost nude women in bras and panties strutting down a catwalk, the Spice Girls stole a share of the spotlight on Thursday as they kicked off a reunion tour with a warm-up at the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
The Spice Girls, who have sold more than 55 million albums, with 10 No. 1 singles, launch their world tour Dec. 2 in Vancouver while the Victoria Secret's Lingerie Fashion Show is scheduled to air on CBS Dec 4.
The Spice Girls were dressed in World War Two-era khaki and jaunty military caps, emerged onstage at the Hollywood show to perform their first number in front of huge glittering lights spelling out "Spice."
Victoria's Secret
The fashion show is geared to help give
CBS has said the show generates a large amount of advance publicity prior to its airing, and still is profitable. The network also may be hungry for such content as it may face a shortage due to the current writers' strike.
The show's producers pulled out a number of stops they hope will aid the show's cause. In addition to reuniting the Spice Girls, supermodel Heidi Klum returned to the show's runway after giving birth to her third child. Klum not only pranced in several ensembles - including one that featured a giant, unfolding snowflake - she also sang with husband Seal.Also appearing at this year's show was Black-Eyed Peas front man Will.I.Am.

Weird dinosaur Nigersaurus lived like "Mesozoic cow"
Paleontologists Thursday unveiled a weird dinosaur called the Nigersaurus with rows of tiny teeth crammed into the very front of its jaws and almost translucent skull bones, which enabled it to live like a "Mesozoic cow," media reported.
Be sure to read this part so we don't get any negative feedback about being racist. The 110 million-year-old sauropod dinosaur, which was found in Niger, has been named Nigersaurus Taqueti.
Kyla Ebbert Nude For Playboy
Kyla Ebbert made headlines awhile back when she was not allowed to board a Southwest Airlines plane because of her clothes,...or lack there of.
Now, Kyla's using her 15 minutes of fame to get neked! Kyla Ebbert has taken the chance to pose nude for Playboy.in the "Legs in the Air" pictorial.
In July at San Diego's airport, a Southwest employee asked Kyla to change her outfit -- a miniskirt, a sweater over a tank-top and high heels -- or get off the plane. Kyla had already boarded the flight from San Diego to Tucson. She didn't have any other clothes to change into because she was returning the same day.
After Kyla adjusted her clothes to cover herself up more, the Southwest employee relented and let Kyla take the flight. She concealed herself even more with a blanket during the flight, but was understandably humiliated by the experience. Ironically, after all, most observers thought her ensemble was no more revealing than the average summer outfit of any college girl.
Flying Spaghetti Monster Christmas Tree Ornament
Need a cool and unusual Christmas gift?
How about one of the best Christmas ornaments ever?
Why it's the Flying Spaghetti Monster , which emerged as an object of worship worldwide at the height of the 2005 Kansas controversy over intelligent design !
The Flying Spaghetti Monster (also known as the Spaghedeity) is the deity of a parody religion called The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and its system of beliefs, "Pastafarianism". The religion was founded in 2005 by Oregon State University physics graduate Bobby Henderson to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution.
In an open letter sent to the education board, Henderson professes belief in a supernatural creator called the Flying Spaghetti Monster which resembles spaghetti and meatballs. He furthermore calls for the "Pastafarian" theory of creation to be taught in science classrooms.
Due to its recent popularity and media exposure, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is used by atheists, agnostics (known by Pastafarians as "spagnostics"), and others as a modern version of Russell's teapot.
New HQ Cloverfield Trailer and Title!!
Mike Vogel and Lizzy Caplan run from the Cloverfield MonsterFlashback to last summer when the Transformers opened big and included a mysterious teaser trailer for a monster movie set in New York City by producer J.J. Abrams. With no title the flick was called by its release date, 1-18-08, or the codename it was made under, Cloverfield.
Cut to the present where the first official trailer comes out for the enigmatic monster movie. You'll find the newest Cloverfield/1-18-08 trailer in front of the Beowulf movie.
You'll also find that J.J. Abrams has named the movie...."Cloverfield."
After months of debate, they kept the code name. Although the title naming is not that eventful, the new trailer is. Although it's hard to tell with a YouTube video, there are glimpses at the Cloverfield monster. Or should we say "MonsterS?"
Marching Band Tribute To Video Games
How fuckin' cool is this?
First off, let's just say that no one has ever said that about a marching band half-time show. But, then again there has never been one dedicated to video games like at the halftime at a Cal football game.
You may have to tilt your head as the camera was on the wrong side of the field but if you're a child of video games like we are you can get most of them just from the music.

Fox Keeps Family Guy Going Through Writer's Strike
The Family Guy's creator, Seth MacFarlane, has reason to be pissed off.
With the WGA strike in full effect most shows are coming to a halt. However, a few more episodes of The Family Guy will be completed without the help of MacFarlane, who is the shows creator, writer, and about half the voices.
MacFarlane acknowledged that both the network and producer 20th Century Fox TV are "legally within their rights" to finish new episodes without his input, but doing so, he said, could not only affect the show's creative direction and thus alienate viewers but also harm the successful partnership MacFarlane and Fox have built up over the years.
The move has angered MacFarlane, who stopped work on the series last week to join the picket lines with other WGA members. Film and TV writers whose union went on strike Nov. 5 to force Hollywood studios to negotiate a bigger cut of the profits from DVD sales and other future digital media platforms.
"It would just be a colossal dick move if they did that," Family Guy's creator told Variety, noting that the next three episodes of the animated comedy are "relatively close to completion, but they have not had a final pass."
The 25 Most Baffling Toys From Around the World

Hayden Panettiere Arrest Warrent Issued
Kudos to Heroes star Hayden Panettiere who is wanted in Japan for her actions to try to stop some Japanese fishermen from rounding up dolphins and killing them.
Or,...What a bitch?
Trying to help some funny little water animals from being killed.
She should be stumbling around L.A. looking for her panties and getting drunk and acting like a whore similar to the standard set by her peers like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.
Panettiere, 18, was part of a convoy of activists from the U.S. and Australia who on Oct. 30 paddled out on surfboards to protest the annual slaughter of dolphins and whales by Japanese fisherman.
Her group attempted to reach a pod of dolphins before it was driven into a nearby cove and massacred.

Barry Bonds Indicted On Perjury
Barry Bonds, baseball's jack-ass and home run king, was indicted (an indictment is a formal accusation of having committed a criminal offense) and Barry Bonds could face prison instead of the Hall of Fame for telling a federal grand jury he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs.
The indictment, culminating a four-year investigation into steroid use by elite athletes, charged Bonds with four counts of perjury and one of obstruction of justice. If convicted, he could be sentenced to a maximum of 30 years in prison.
Shortly after the indictment was handed up, Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson, was ordered released after spending most of the past year in prison for refusing to testify against his longtime friend.
"During the criminal investigation, evidence was obtained including positive tests for the presence of anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing substances for Bonds and other athletes," the indictment said.
Liberty Dollar Offices Raider By FBI, Ron Paul Dollar Now Evidence

Santa Asks: Where's My 'Ho's" At?
Santas across Sydney, Australia, are rebelling against attempts to ban their traditional greeting of "ho, ho, ho" in favor of "ha, ha, ha."
Recruitment firm Westaff — which supplies hundreds of Santas across the country — has told its trainees that the "ho ho ho" phrase could frighten children and could even be derogatory to women.
Two Santa hopefuls reportedly quit the course because of the hullabaloo of the ho, ho, ho.
One would-be Santa has told The Daily Telegraph he was taught not to use "ho, ho, ho" because it was too close to the American slang for prostitute. He also quit.
"Gimme a break," said Julie Gale, who runs a campaign against sexualizing children called Kids Free 2B Kids. "We are talking about little kids who do not understand that 'ho, ho, ho' has any other connotation, and nor should they."
South Park - The List
Season 11 of South Park came to an end tonight with the final episode of one of the best years of South Park.
Following the hot episodes of "Imaginationland" and "Guitar Queer-o," the episode entitled "The List" followed the boys trying to get to the bottom of the list of the most attractive boys (in order) by the girls in South Park Elementary School.
Sadly, our little Kyle finds himself on the bottom of the list after the boys get hold of the list. Stan seeks justice to help Kyle, who takes the list too hard, and incorporates the help of his ex, Wendy, to fashion a recount. However, the truth they find out about the list is more than they could handle.
The boys plan to out think the girls to get the list that rates each boy's looks from the cutest to the ugliest.
The boys commence with Operation: Cannot Possibly Fail in order to get the list from the girls.
A great conspiracy episode unfolds as Stan gets to sit in on the important meeting where girls create lists. They bring back the Stan/Wendy relationship which results with Stan barfing all over Wendy. Also, Kenny gets a bullet to the head which is always entertaining.
Kyle is visited by Abraham Lincoln who tries to make him feel better about being voted the ugliest boy in the class.

Dude, You're Getting a Dell! You Want An Appetizer With That?
Dude, You're Getting a Dell!
That's one of those pop-culture slogans that rose up around 7 years ago to promote Dell Computers.
For about 3 years actor Ben Curtis from Chattanooga, Tennessee, annoyed the entire world as the stoner/slacker kid Steve who only wanted his parents to get him a Dell computer. Then, Curtis got busted for buying some pot in NYC and his character was killed off in a violent blimp chase scene. Well, we wish.
For the last year, Ben has been tending bar at Tortilla Flats in NYC. Lucky for him, a major newspaper caught up with him and plastered his face all over the Internet. Ben's being cool about it, though. He won't pony up the catchphrase for just anyone, but he'll smile and bring you some salsa for your chips.
Now, that's humility.

Via Steve, here's a nice collection of super sexy G-strings and thongs that you can fool yourself into thinking your woman would wear for you if you bought some for her for Christmas only to find out that in return she bought you a wrench or a book on some dude's travels around Asia because she knows the furthest you've left the house this year is to hit the new IKEA across town.
That being said, it's nice to look at the pictures of hot girls in thongs and G-strings.

The Killers - Sawdust
Fans of The Killers can sit back and enjoy a nice, little album to hold them off until the next studio release in 2008. Sawdust is The Killers latest offer to fans with a collection of B-sides and rarities.
There seems to be a wide range of fans for The Killers. They broke out with their huge album Hot Fuss and gathered a lot of band wagoners and trendy fans. With a ton of radio airplay and critical praise, The Killers quickly gained worldwide attention. They followed with Sam's Town a few years later which, in our opinion, trimmed off a lot of those trendy fans and critics.
So, where does The Killers Sawdust fall into line?
Like any B-side collection, these albums are aimed for the fans and not really for massive, mainstream radio play. Granted, there are a few cuts you can dump onto the singles charts. But, B-sides have always been filler material in between studio albums. The first cut off Sawdust is a new tune which features Lou Reed in "Tranquilize." A fantastic mix if there ever was one.
The Killers "Tranquilize"
The Killers version of Joy Division's "Shadowplay" is the second cut. Joy Division recorded their version of the song almost 30 years ago and we really dig The Killers version. It has their sound as well as being a great tribute to a great band and song. We're not gonna compare the bands since we thing it's silly anyone would do that in the first place.
The Killers - Shadowplay (Live)
The rest of the album is a great mix of tracks that range from the upbeat "All The Pretty Faces" to the cool sound of "Where The White Boys Dance." But, overall if you are a fan of the boys from Nevada than you'll dig this album. It has enough unique songs to keep you satisfied for their next, big studio release.

Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway has some of the best cleavage...um,..talent in the business. And, she's not afraid to show off her talent.
It's hard to kick the whole "Princess Diaries" thing out of our head, but after some of her most recent appearances and photo shoots it was easy. Having Anne Hathaway appear with Julie Andrews in the Disney film and then dedicating a Cybershrine to her seems odd at first.
But, then Dave and Thomas realized that even Julie Andrews flashed her girls in "S.O.B.", so that helped clear the guilt. Besides, it doesn't look like Anne Hathaway is none too shy about appearing in public.
Michael Jordan's Divorce Nets Ex $168 Million
Michael Jordan is still breaking records. This one is for divorce settlements which will give his ex-wife, Juanita Jordan, approximately $168 Million.
Hopefully, this won't mean another comeback by Mike to help pay the bills.

Medical Board Wanted to Suspend Dr. Adams
TMZ is stating that the Doctor who was in charge of the cosmetic surgery that resulted in the death of Donda West, Rapper Kanye West's mother, is coming under heavy fire.
The Medical Board of California filed legal papers last April asking to revoke or suspend Dr. Jan Adams' medical license because he was convicted of multiple DUIs, one in 2006, another in 2003. TMZ has also turned up a 1994 DUI conviction.
In the accusation, the Executive Director of the Medical Board states Dr. Jan Adams "has used alcohol to the extent or in such a manner as to be dangerous or injurious to himself and others..."
We've also uncovered two malpractice judgments against Dr. Jan Adams from 2001. One for $217,337 and the other for $250,000.
Dr. Jan Adams told TMZ last night that he "did nothing wrong" in operating on Donda West.
Donda West, Kanye's Mother, Dies After Cosmetic Surgery
An update on the death of Kanye West's Mother, Donda West. Yesterday we reported her passing and today new light is shed on the causes.
Donda West is said to have died in a Los Angeles-area hospital due to possible complications from cosmetic surgery, the L.A. County Coroner's office said on Monday. She was 58.
Donda West helped manage her son's businesses and educational foundation after retiring in 2004 after 30 years teaching English at Chicago State University. She died Saturday night at Centinela Freeman Hospital in seaside Marina del Rey after paramedics were called to her nearby home.
A coroner's spokesman said an autopsy would be performed later this week. He did not know what sort of surgery West underwent, but media reports said she had a breast reduction and abdominoplasty, a major procedure commonly referred to as a "tummy tuck."
Robert Ben Garant of 'Reno 911!' on the Hollywood writers' strike
One of our local boys who has made well for himself has given East Tennesseans an outlook on the writer's strike that is holding Hollywood still.
Robert Ben Garant is a native of East Tennessee who now lives in L.A. and doesn't return our calls anymore. Garant left Farragut in 1988 to go after his dreams in NY. He still owes us $14.50 for that case of Miller Lite we got him the week before he hit the road. We guess we'll wait for the strike to lift to ask for our money again.
You all might remember him from 'Reno 911!' fame. He got his first big start with the comedy show "The State" with a bunch of fellow 911er's like Thomas Lennon and Kerri Kenney. Lennon and Garant also wrote big screen movies like "Night at the Museum," "Let's Go To Prison," "Herbie Fully Loaded," "The Pacifier," and "Taxi."
As a writer/actor on 911, Garant has a few opinions on the writer's strike.
For example, Garant states:
MISINFORMATION: "Most Hollywood writers make 200 grand a year." Poppycock. Most writers are middle class. There are about 40 writers who make that kind of money. The union has 12,000 other members, who don't make anywhere near that.
A friend of mine is a staff writer for a very big late night talk show. He has enough money saved up to last about two months. He will have to sell his house, if the strike goes on longer than that. His house is not a mansion. It is a one-bedroom in Burbank.
My union wants to work, but we would be CRAZY to accept a contract that says THEY GET TO USE OUR WORK FOR FREE ON THE INTERNET. The Internet is the future.
Screenwriters and TV writers live on residuals. We are not on salary. We are all self-employed. Our only insurance comes from the union. If our union is finished, so are we.
We live from job to job. It is the residuals that get writers through from job to job.
First Pictures Of Zachary Quinto as Spock
Yeah! The first photos of Zachary Quinto (Heroes) as Spock in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek have been snuck onto the web. Old Sylar is rockin' the pointy ears.
The production is currently shooting in a chapel that has been converted to looked like a Vulcan Council Chamber of some sort. IESB has some telephoto video footage of the shoot and Quinto in action.
The Wizard of Oz Munchkin Suicide Video
The Wizard of Oz Munchkin Suicide legend is where some little dude was said to have hung himself on set and his body can be seen swinging in the background of a scene from the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz.
The Legend grew over the years to include a message that a munchkin was being overworked and not paid and was making a statement of the dire work conditions. Sometimes the Legend includes a lost love.
Then the story is sometimes switched to being a stagehand instead of a munchkin after the fact that the scene was shot before all the munchkin scenes came out. The little people weren't even on the set at the time but that doesn't stop people from ignoring the facts. So, if anyone has every bet you that it happened here's your chance to get some money.
This first video shows the scene in question where the trio are seen skipping off to see the Wizard. Right above the Scarecrow in the trees is a large bird that flaps its wings. People over the years have said that it was a munchkin committing suicide. However, it is clearly a big-ass bird.
Hanging Munchkin Scene Wizard of Oz
Here's the zoomed in version where you can clearly see the bird in the trees. Hopefully this can clear up any bets someone may have made about the urban legend.

Bankrupt? E-Trade Loses More Than Half Its Value
Shares of online brokerage E-Trade Financial Corp. lost more than half their value Monday, with a Citigroup analyst saying customers were poised to flee and the company was at risk of bankruptcy.
Other analysts said the pictures was not as bleak, though, and the company said assets actually improved in October. It also moved to reassure customers that it could withstand a substantial writedown of assets and remain in business.
However, this is the company that spent $2 Million on a Super Bowl commercial with a dancing chimp. Actually, we love anything with monkeys and chimps dressed up like people. We just don't know if it's a great business plan...
The Guy From Boston Is Angry...Again
There's nothing like an opinionated guy from Boston to let us know what's going on in the world. The Guy From Boston made an appearance on Fox News today for those that are left wondering who this rather large and angry guy is.
If you need a fix on how the world is or where it's going, we suggest you tune in to The Guy From Boston's homepage where he will enlighten you. He's wicked loud and angry most of the time, but that's what we like about him.

Heroes Comic Artwork
Heroes is about to get a little more interesting with a bunch of storyline shake-ups and possibly up to 4 characters leave the show. While we're left wondering what will actually happen on the show, we expect a kick-ass November for our Heroes. Hopefully, the writer's strike will allow a few more great episodes to air.
The comic book artwork from Season One is pivotal to the storyline as well as some great graphics work that we can't get enough of.
For more on Heroes check out our buddy, the Heroes Fanatic.
New 1-18-08/Cloverfield Trailer and Title, Christmas Speed Racer Trailer
The time may be near for the upcoming J.J. Abrams flick we call 1-18-08/Cloverfield to be titled and a full-length trailer released. A few major websites like /Film and Coming Soon seem to think the upcoming Beowulf movie would be a perfect time to launch the 1-18-08/Cloverfield trailer.
Also, the Wachowski Brothers version of Speed Racer is being touted as a technological marvel for its full-blown, full-screen camera style. A new and expensive camera was used for the Speed Racer adaptation which created the full-screen effect. That trailer should be out at Christmas time.
Black Sea Oil Tanker Sinks, Spills 1,000's Gallons Of Fuel
After last week's San Francisco Oil Spill we see one that could be much worse. An Oil Tanker in the Black Sea was one of many ships busted apart by a huge storm. The result is over 500,000 gallons of fuel being released into the Black Sea.
'Mr. Toilet' House Nears Completion
Sim Jae-duck has made his political career as South Korea's Mr. Toilet by beautifying public restrooms. Now he's got a home befitting his title: a toilet-shaped domicile complete with the latest in lavatory luxury.
No doubt he takes a lot of crap for living in a toilet-shaped house, but go with what you know we always say. Mr. Toilet is building the two-story house set to be finished Sunday to commemorate the inaugural meeting later this month of the World Toilet Association.
World Toilet Association?
"The toilet revolution should start with talking about toilet issues freely," said Song Young-kwon, head of the organizing committee for the five-day conference that opens Nov. 21.
The Seoul conference will be accompanied by a toilet expo featuring exhibits to excite the public about the cause: including a "Hansel and Gretel" bathroom made from cookies and candy that gives presents to children when they flush, and a "toilet gallery cafe" where people can sit on colorful commodes while drinking tea.

Women Gathering At Homes For 'Taser' Parties
Groups of women are gathering at homes across America for Taser parties, where the guns are presented with wine and cheese, similar to earlier Tupperware parties.
A host at the parties explains the value of owning a personal Taser gun and then women are allowed to look at and handle the devices, which include a metallic pink gun.
We were really excited about this being a party where people tested the Taser on each other but were wildly disappointed when we found out they were just buying them.
Intel Launching New Chip - 40 Percent More !!
How bad do you really want a computer this Christmas?
Look closely at the type of chip it comes with as Intel plans to roll out its newest generation of processors, flexing its manufacturing muscle with a sophisticated new process that crams up to 40 percent more transistors onto the company's chips.
The most complex chips being launched Monday have 820 million transistors, compared with the 582 million transistors on the same chips built using the current standard technology. Intel's first chips, introduced in the early 1970s, had just 2,300 transistors.
"Had we used the same transistors that we used in our chips 15 to 20 years ago, the chip would be about the size of a two-storey building," said Bill Kircos of Intel.
Paul Otellini, head of Intel, described the challenge of building the chips as "awe-inspiring".
Intel's new chips shrink the width of those lines to an average of 45 nanometers, or 45 billionths of a meter, compared to 65 nanometers on the previous generation of chips
In response to the new technology that will speed up computers to no end, Matt Drudge of the highly visited Drudge Report, will add a third color to his font selection. Currently, there are choices of black and red. We're hoping he adds a nice green.

The "Millennials" Are Coming
You had you Baby Boomers, your Flower Children, and your Generation X-ers. If you thought there was a steady slide in discipline and work production wait until you get hold of the newest generation, the "Millennials."
The Millennials are the tech and gadget savy generation of children raised by TV's and toys. There are about 80 million of them, born between 1980 and 1995, and they're rapidly taking over from the baby boomers who are now pushing 60.
They were raised by doting parents who told them they are special, played in little leagues with no winners or losers, or all winners. They are laden with trophies just for participating and they think your business-as-usual ethic is for the birds. And if you persist in the belief you can, take your job and shove it.
However, this may be a good thing. Our generation (the slackers of Gen-X) were a bunch of lazy, smart-ass underachievers. Are the days of 35-year old retail workers coming to an end?
NFL Coach Dick Nolan Dies
Dick Nolan (1932-2007) was a class act that the NFL and its fans will miss. The current coach of the San Francisco 49ers is his son, Mike Nolan.
To honor his father, Mike Nolan (pictured left) wore dress suits on the sidelines of his games. However, with today's NFL dress codes, suits were not allowed. Nolan petitioned the league to allow for the dress suits and won.
Dick Nolan, who led the 49ers to three consecutive division titles and twice had them on the brink of a Super Bowl, died Sunday after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease and prostate cancer. He was 75.
Elisha Cuthbert Gettin' Naked In The Girl Next Door

Being big fans of Elisha Cuthbert like we are, there are a couple of nice Elisha Cuthbert galleries we have made that you might enjoy! Here's a sample:
NBC Direct - Could It Suck More?
NBC Direct is the Peacock's answer to Internet video and if you are a fan of NBC shows like The Office and Heroes, be prepared to get a little angry.
The good news is you can now download various NBC shows to your computer. And it's free. Kinda. Free like giving an army recruiter you home phone number.
First and foremost, you cannot get these shows onto you iPod. Second, it's only available to PC users with IE only. Third, and this is the most annoying, you must download a crap-load of software to play the videos.
NBC Direct is sorta like the Real Player or the old AOL. It gets into your computer and wont' let go. And we'll bet that it sends a nice stream of data back to NBC, too.
Did we mention the shows are only good for 48 hours after download?
It looks like NBC Direct is good for a pinch if you need to catch an episode. However, it won't be replacing our DVR anytime soon. And, with the writer's strike going on at the moment, it doesn't do much good with all those shows on hold.
