Morrissey the Terrorist

Morrissey (Yes, that Morrissey) was picked up by the FBI and questioned because he called President Bush a "terrorist."

I feel safer now knowing our people have their eye on him, don't you?

Jay-Z Construction Set

The Jay-Z Construction Set is a toolkit with all of the necessary software and raw materials to create a new remix of Jay-Z's Black Album.

See, rather than fight this trend, I think Jay-Z should come out in support of it. It's like the next logical Information Wants To Be Free-esque step to the Tupac / B.I.G. phenomena of releasing more albums posthumously than they ever did while alive, only Jay-Z ain't dead! He still gets to be one rich mofo with a hot girlfriend!

Me Likey Hairy Bellys and TuTus.

If you haven't read about it yet..... The new Foo Fighter's video featuring my oddest personal crushes to date: Jack Black and Dave Grohl, was banned. Watch the video and tell me if you can figure out why. (I just can't seem to find anything offensive).

"Fuck Snuggles!"

How free is your speech? Well, for the time being, you can download a CDs worth of illegal music for nothing right here. Includes the hilarious Negativland "U2" single with Casey Kasem's tirade.

Video Game Ratings get serious

A California congressman wants to make it a federal crime to rent or sell video games showing violence, prostitution and drug use to anyone under the age of 17 without parental consent.

Co-signed by 21 members of the House of Representatives, it covers eight kinds of explicit in-game depictions, including scenes of:

- decapitation and dismemberment,
- murder,
- car jackings,
- illegal drug use,
- rape,
- prostitution,
- assault and other violent crimes.

...uhmm, so that basically leaves me with Mario Karts or Britney's Dance Beat.

Nudes bring out the Prudes

Public Art - A series of nude bodies (male - sorry!) etched into the floor of the L.A. airport. Passengers are fine with it but it's upsetting the powers that be.

Cartoonist Kieron Dwyer Sued By Starbucks

Starbucks parody
While Dwyer does not use Starbucks' name or a pun on its name in his parody, Judge Chesney did find that Dwyer's was "confusingly similar" to the mermaid logo, and that the phrase "consumer whore" could be considered offensive to some and thereby constitute a tarnishment of the Starbucks mark. She further found that Dwyer's sale of merchandise bearing this "confusingly similar" logo constituted a trademark infringement.

In other words, while Judge Chesney agreed that Dwyer's image was a legitimate parody in and of itself, and thereby protected by the First Amendment, the sale of items bearing that image constituted an infringement on Starbucks' trademark. Dwyer cannot profit by this image, because the only reason that people would buy the t-shirt, mugs, or stickers was because they bore a logo "confusingly similar" to Starbucks'. The temporary restraining order she eventually signed now bars Dwyer from selling any such merchandise.
