You got me. I'm not a person, I'm one of those Geico Cavemen, and I clearly call everybody who disagrees with me a mass murderer. It must be because I'm so unpatriotic.

But at least I don't bemoan the material world and then refuse all well-intentioned advice because I consider it selfish to help out my fellow man if it actually helps me feel better about myself. JediSage, you wallow in misery and bring it here every day. If your sole purpose is to complain about life and do nothing, I know of several walls who make equally good listeners. We've tried to help you when it sounded like it mattered and you threw it in our faces, so you reap what you sow. Consider my attitude towards you "tough love" because I got wise to you ages ago.

Wanna get this thread back on topic? Try to actually execute the noble idea from what you said in your first post: Back a truck up to ol' book-burner's warehouse and take the overstock off his hands, then go play Santa Claus with all the reading material like they're from the Island of Misfit Toys. Writing about people not reading is about as sensible as yelling about noise pollution. Be the change you want to see in the world. Otherwise, you're just white noise in a world full of bellyachers.

Family Guy to kick off season with 1 hour Star Wars spoof

I can see the tired-ass Family Guy formula at work:

"You think that's bad? Remember the time on the Pulp Fiction set when Samuel L. Jackson ate womp rat while John Travolta chatted up George Lucas?"

"Yo mutha[BEEP], womp rat may taste like pumpkin pie but I'd never know 'cause I'd never eat the filthy mutha[BEEP]."

"So, like, George, both our sons are named Jett. That's so weird."

Sage, you're a classic complainer and you have a massive superiority complex. You think your opinions are better and your shit stinks less than anybody on this board. I've been saying it for ages, but you're quick to write off anything I say because you disagree with 95% of my politics. Now a bunch of your own homies are telling you this, and you're getting defensive against them as well. Truth hurts, but it's no grand conspiracy to cut you down to size. Seriously, go seek professional help. It may help you fill that "deep, abiding emptiness" that you recognize in yourself but refuse to take any advice to fix. Or, as Eddie Murphy would say, HACAASASTFU.

George Lucas, in his infinitely infantile way, says to Genndy Tartakovsky:

Yes, I can. No, you can't.

Anything you can be
I can be greater.
Sooner or later,
I'm greater than you.

No, you're not. Yes, I am.
No, you're not. Yes, I am.
No, you're NOT!. Yes, I am.
Yes, I am!

I can shoot a partridge
With a single cartridge.
I can get a sparrow
With a bow and arrow.
I can live on bread and cheese.
And only on that?
Yes.
So can a rat!
Any note you can reach
I can go higher.

Any note you can hold
I can hold longer.
I can hold any note
Longer than you.

And yet, you couldn't resist.

If you're not gonna respond, then don't respond. But don't say you're not and then do so in the next breath. Jeeze.

Reality check, there are those who equate book burning with censorship. It's why I brought it up. It was indeed a preemptive statement, but in your desire to see everything I say as anti-everything-you-stand-for you just couldn't resist making out what I said to be more than it was.

Let's not equate what he is doing with Berlin in 1939. Even flags get burned when they're ceremonially retired, and there is nothing unpatriotic about it. It's not as though these books are being burned in protest of their content or that the government was saying they have ideas that shouldn't be put forth. Nope, that's actually the FCC's job when it comes to television programming. These books are simply a victim of supply and demand. For example, there is an abundant supply of Clancy in the English-speaking world but the demand for dogeared copy of Cardinal in the Kremlin just isn't all that high. Hence why he can't give them away. And given that he is a businessman trying to SELL books, not STORE books, he needs to manage the cost of his overhead. This doesn't take a Ph.D. in economics to figure out.

I just want to know why he's not recycling them. Burning them wastes the valuable resource of the paper. Recycling them, however, means more new books and new ideas can be generated from the material of the old. That is a model for efficiency and there is something poetic about it at the same time.

If he were prudent, he should, at a minimum, be listing these for a penny at Amazon, but I suspect nobody has shown him how. They'd move much more quickly and gross at least a tiny bit of income while not having to resort to the unpalatable tactic of book-burning.

Darth Vader's Psyche: What Went Wrong

I originally saw some of this over at another board and tracked down the article. I am bringing it here to its proper home, where it can be discussed to death. According to Miranda Hitti of WebMD Medical News, Anakin Skywalker, Who Became Darth Vader, Had Borderline Personality Disorder. Fortunately our top psychiatrists are concerned with this instead of more pressing needs, like figuring out who the next Cho will be and helping him before he snaps.

But not to get too serious and to join in the fun, here is my contribution to the discussion:

According to further research, Borderline Personality Disorder has a strong correlation with elevated midichlorian levels. GalacticSmithKline has been racing Pfazer for the first patented pharmaceutical that will effectively lower midichlorian levels. In trial studies, side effects include dry mouth, fatigue, irritability, insomnia, and lowered telekinesis.

Dancing Pete was knee-jerk funny, but it won't hold up as time goes by. It's as if they edited Gag Reel footage into the narrative. I've got an idea for dealing with this bit especially, but I really don't want to touch this film until 3.1 comes out. Too many sacrificed plotlines that are clearly on the cutting room floor as opposed to being absent altogether. I've got some killer ideas for this film as a whole but I'd like to work with the whole enchilada.

Where the hell can you write Sony Pictures to petition for a simultaneous 3.1 release? They are very good at NOT putting links on their site.

It's a double entendre. "Gray's Anatomy" is a defining textbook on human anatomy from the 1800s.

To answer the other questions:
Izzy apparently had a child when she was a teen and gave it up for adoption. Not aborted. Re-entered her life when a marrow donor was needed.
Dr. Webbers (the dude who was Skinner's boss on the X-files) is going through a divorce because of an affair. Now his 52-year-old soon-to-be-ex is pregnant.
Dr. Grey's dad abandoned her and her mother as a child for another woman. Grey has some serious long-term commitment issues because of this.
Izzy and George got drunk and had sex, causing him massive amounts of guilt for the affair. The plotline has been dragging on for weeks.
McSteamy (Multiple-Man from X3) and Addison tried to go on a sex-hiatus for two months. She challenged him to do this because he's some sort of man-ho. Then she ended up sleeping with somebody else. Thus spelled the end of that relationship.
And Cristina did NOT have an abortion. She wanted one, but then she had an ectopic pregnancy, bursting one of her fallopian tubes. Instant miscarriage, the ever-convenient answer to unwanted pregnancies on TV.

I agree, the people are stupid. Virtually all of their stupidity revolves around sex. But again, this continual game of Musical Bedsheets is FAR FAR FAR from consequence-free.
