Emilie Autumn - Thank God I'm Pretty (Fan Made)

If you could have a super power, what would it be?

I think omnipotence would suffice.

(Is that all there is?)

Blog Apocalypse

Holy crap, either I really need to keep up with all of my RSS feeds or I should cut back on my blog subscriptions/followings: the "Reading List" on my dashboard is acting like a waterfall, what with the perpetual cascade of updates. :S

If you could choose, how would you want to die?

I could have sworn I answered this recently..?

Anyway, given the choice, I suppose I'd want to die painlessly and/or quickly. Suffering and terminal illness would kill me. Twice.

Die Antwoord - WOOT! - $0$.mov

Nope, Not This Time - No Sale, Hollywood!

I just saw an ad for the Batman franchise on Bluray, each film selling for $24.99, and I remembered that that was exactly where the average DVD pricepoint was hovering when I got my first DVD player almost ten years ago.

Here we are, I thought, ten years later and the same damned films that I bought on DVD (actually, not Batman - I never saw the point of purchasing anything but the first Burton one and even that I didn't bother with - but you get the idea) have to be paid for - AGAIN - if I want them on Bluray?

I give up. I don't have a strategy or a plan yet, but I've decided that I'm never going to buy another film on disc ever again. Sayonara, major studios, networks and production companies - you're screwing consumers for whatever they're willing to pay - and I'm not going to accept that anymore.

There really ought to be an "F-you" emoticon, i.e. the Finger-Smiley, although having said that I guess I'd better hurry up and copyright the idea.

Footage of suspect in New York's Times Square car bomb scare caught on video

NEW YORK - NYPD reported that a suspect in Saturday night's Times Square bomb scare has been singled out from recordings by on-site cameras. A spokesperson for the police said, "we have obtained some clear images of the suspect abandoning the vehicle and fleeing the scene."

Although it was initially reported that smoke rising from the vehicle had tipped off police a number of eyewitnesses have since rebuked this claim.  Oscar Fuentes, a Brooklyn convenience store owner, had just exited one of the theatres with his wife when, he said, "there was this flash and...I know it sounds weird, but the guy jumped out, waving his arms around and when he ran off I saw the smoke and that his pants were on fire."

Police are asking that anyone who saw the suspect running from the area with smoke trailing behind to please contact them immediately.  No link has been found to connect this event with "Umar-pants", the failed Detroit suicide bomber of December 2009, but police have stated that, "we are working with Homeland Security to investigate any potential affiliation between Umar and our suspect in order to get to the bottom of this incident as soon as possible."
