Seriously, though. I know the pic w/ the baby and the humonguous headphones is there to make light, am I in the first stage here? Denial?

I don't want to forward this to my colleagues at school much like an urban legend and then find out it's a whole load of FoxNews. Ya know what I mean?

I have my students take off their headphones when their in my class anyway, but if they're getting "stoned" before hand, what can I do?

Are these biaurnal sounds as addictive as drugs?

My mom is almost 70 and she's emailing and using a computer. That Pew statistic quoted in the article is extremely damning; 3/4 of McCain's own demographic - the "old white-haired dudes" as Paris says in her campaign ad - do so much more than McCain can do.

Can he find the ON button on a computer?

It's time to push the OFF button on his campaign.

I haven't seen this movie; all I saw was the preview and I laughed at the plethora of inane and insipid lines:

- "Men like us do gunwork b/c we can, b/c we're better at it than most."

RZ: "How long have you been killing people for a living?"

EH: "I don't kill people. I enforce the law. "

"Mr. Cole, Mr. Hitch, we want our town back [from the lawless element]."

VM: "It's what we do."

EH: "It is, ain't it?"

VM: "Can I finish my coffee first?" (this is presumably before a gunfight)

EH: "You surely may."

EH: "You afraid to die?"

Outlaw: "I ain't afraid."

EH: "Good, 'cause you go first."

The worst part about it is that the movie looks like it's set in Mexico or Texas, but the characters are speaking in some weird Southern accent that sounds like they're from Georgia or the Carolinas. I can't place it.

With the major stars in this and Ed Harris directing and writing, this has all the makings of a box-office bomb on the order of Battlefield Earth or Ishtar. When the reviewer said that the movie was slow-paced, it's just a nice way of saying BORING.

I'll pass.
