Amber Night

And it breaks my heart

---

This is kind of old news, but for some reason flew under my radar.  Found at Slashdot, it looks like Peter Jackson is out, as the director of The Hobbit and a prequel to be named later.  Oh please please please let Uwe Boll be free!

I'm totally digging Regina Spektor's new album, Begin To Hope.  Check it out on iTunes.

I present to you: The world's worst DMV page.  You'll never guess which state it is.  Okay, you probably will. (audio warning)

Speaking of Sony, John Smedley decides it's time to turn his blog into yet another product announcement outlet.  The game, however, looks groovy.

Even FOX doesn't like him anymore.  As we all bid Donald Rumsfeld a fond "don't let the door hit you in the ass, or, you know, do, I could give a shit just get the hell out," FOX News publishes their least flattering photo of Rummy ever.  He's like a puppy dog you wouldn't mind kicking.  Over and over and over. (let the trolling begin!)

Damn.  I almost had a Wii.  Last one at Target sold 10 minutes before I got there.

You might have heard that Left Behind (the video game based on the series of books that teach us to hate non-believers) is now in Wal-Mart and other outlets.  From BBC News:

An alliance of liberal groups including the Christian Alliance for Progress, the Campaign to Defend the Constitution, and Talk2Action, have urged the giant retailer Wal-Mart, among others, to stop stocking the game, which was released last month.

"It's about religious warfare. The way to win is to convert or kill. You have both the Inquisition and the Crusades," says Frederick Clarkson of Talk2Action.

"Anybody who is not a follower of Jesus is the enemy," he claims.

I'm all for a boycott, but on the other hand I think it's important for people to see this product for what it is.  The discussion I hope real Christians are having over the game is this: Just how much ass would Jesus kick if he played this game?  I mean, He *could* save all of 'em all if he really wanted to, but my guess is that He'd shake it up a little bit.  He'd be all like, "Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.  Naaah, just kidding.  Muthafuckin' AK-47 to your ass, bitch!"  That would be so cool.

Looking for that perfect Christmas gift and still haven't found it?  Boulder Origami.

Do we have to support the assholes too?  U.S. soldiers lead Iraqi children in chant of "Fuck Iraq."   Niiiiice.

Have a great weekend, peace out!
