Good Bye, Stage6

YEAH ....... Finally they nailed the big guy!!!!!!!!! I was the owner of Moviethis.com and the MPAA kept coming after me for illegal copyright infringement for LINKING to external sites mostly to Stage6 (Which they actually hosted the illegal content)....... I am so freeking happy w00t!!!!!!!!

One thing I do wonder is why they paid an employee to write an internet wide letter to lie about the shutdown..... Losses? They didn't have losses, most of the moderators of the stage6 site were volunteers like you and me. The advertising probably brought in 6-10 grand a day.

Im just glad they got the big guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a response to a question asked at yahoo answers, regarding the shut down of Stage6. I thoroughly dislike the "it happened to me, so it should happen to everyone" attitude, and were I able to speak with the poster personally, I would ream him till next Sunday. I will miss Stage6, whether they are shutting down due to pressure from the MPAA, or because of the reason they are giving; overhead costs. I wonder if this person understands the repercussions of a site being shut down that is as widely known as Stage6, and if he did, would he be so happy? Huzzah, the government is taking over all aspects of our private lives!!! Hurray, the corporations are taking over the government!!! YAY, Big Business will own the world, and we will all be slaves!!!!! Moron.

Snow Make Smart?

I went to visit my brother today, and on the way home I encountered something interesting. I thought that I would be late to pick up Josh, because of a certain section of highway. We have an HOV lane running the 403 from around Winston Churchill to near the 401 connector. Normally, traffic along this part of the highway crawls at drive time, while the HOV lane seems to fly. Today, though, I never came to a stop, and rarely dipped below 60 km/h. Why, I asked myself, did traffic seem to move better in the snow, than on a sunny, dry day? I looked around me and noticed something different. Everyone was leaving space between them and the car in front. This is something that I rarely see, usually having to nose my way in to a lane. Interesting, how when we don't ride each others asses, traffic moves better! The reason for this seems to be the HOV lane itself. People stay in it until their exit is coming up, then jump out, cut three lanes across, and exit. In the snow, this is no problem, as there is usually plenty of room for them to get across. In dry weather, well the asshole in everyone takes over, and we couldn't possibly leave space between the car in front of us, as then someone else might get in there, and then we'd be further behind. Too bad though that drive time traffic today only added five minutes to my drive, simply because fear out weighed ego.

Why Do I?

Why do I got to bed at 9:30? Now I'm awake, at 6:30, and no one else is. I'm bored.

Addicted to Superbugs

Surprise, Surprise, Oakville has complimentary superbug potion in the mall. Oy Malloy....



Now, I have a thing about antibacterials. Ask any Doctor, Scientist or even Health Inspector, and they will tell you this: Antibacterials are neither necessary, nor healthy. Even time you use this stuff, you are killing off 99% of the bacteria on your hands, right? Stop and think about that for a second. 99%. We have bacteria on our hands that protect our bodies from infectious agents. We have them everywhere. They live on our eyelashes and tongues and even in our digestive systems. We need them. Of course, this is only half the problem. The other side of the coin has people overusing antibacterials and antibiotics, aiding in the creation of what could be the next world plague. Superbugs are not a myth. These infectious little fiends are simply every day bugs which have become immune to the various "Anti's" that we use. One day, we will be the death of ourselves, because we fail to see the long term effects of our foolish meanderings. Long Live Stupidity!!!

This Week in Assholics Anonymous

I suppose because of the places that I frequent, I encounter a lot of dillholes. I live in a community that is comprised of about 80% upper class. It's poop, because they are mostly full of themselves, and tend not to pay attention to the people around them. Unfortunately, even the middle to lower class people behave in this way, more than likely as a type of defense for the over powering arrogance that oozes from the typical Oakville-ite. I went to pick up Josh the other day, for his lunch. I followed a car in to the lot, which stopped in the middle of the lot, while one passenger got out, moved his car, and the first car entered the spot which was vacated. The second car then pulled in to the middle of the parking lot, and the two men continued to have a chat.

All the while I am sitting patiently, waiting for them to move so that I may park in the visitors parking. I couldn't believe that they would continue their conversation with me sitting right there, obviously wanting to get by, as my car is still running, and I'm not parked, I am in fact blocking the cars that ARE parked. The man standing outside the car is an executive at Josh's place of work, a man who typically thinks little of others, and mostly of himself. It's a sad day when you can't even be bothered to pull your car off to the side of the drive way, in order to allow other cars to get by. I give these two first prize for dickish move of the week!

Maybe I am less a-feared of snow than most people, but having lived in Canada my whole life I find articles like that to be incredibly amusing.

Click me, I dare ya......

It is 2:30 am, and due to gastro-intestinal dysfunction; I am awake. This sucks, but as a way to get over it, I will blog to my hearts content. I have of late begun watching tv online as there is a plethora of sites where you can see a huge variety of shows. Since I've been working part time, I've been able to keep up with the shows that I usually watch, which are all complete now, as the writers are still striking. This has lead me to some random clicking, in order to find something to entertain my dull mind. I have recently come upon a show called Traveler that was only 8 episodes long. It seemed like a good show, gripping, good story, well acted and written. So why only 8 episodes? Well, let me tell you a bit about the show. It features two grad students, who are on the run from the FBI, after being framed for the bombing of the fictional "Drexler Museum" in New York. They were seemingly set up by their friend "Will Traveler" who turns out not to be a fellow student, but an agent in a covert operation, called "Project Hometown". This is where it got interesting. The main character "Jay" made a glib comment near the beginning of the show that should they catch him, he'd be sent straight to Guantanamo. Project Hometown was being run by the former head of the FBI, who is now the new head of Homeland Security. It's worth watching, even though it is completely unfinished and they have given up hopes of revival. Now, I watch lots of shows that have been canceled unduly i.e. Wonderfalls,Tru Calling,Carnivale, Firefly and never have I seen anyone give up so quickly on their show. The director posted an answers blog explaining the different groups that were alluded to during the course of the eight episodes, effectively ending any ideas that there would be a revival. The conspiracist in me can't help but wonder if this shows canceling was due more to it's subject matter than lack of interest. I've linked the title of this post to the shows page at surfthechannel. Have a gander if you have the time. I think it's worth it.
