I don't care if men want to wear bras — heck, some Queen City men need bras! I don't even care if they're pink. But, c'mon, if you're going to go on international television (this clip was filmed by Reuters) to show off your new man-bra, consider trimming your pit hair, would ya?

Zombies existed before George Romero, of course. They just didn't have quite the same appetite for destruction. Or for human flesh, as the case may be.
Earlier horror classics like 1932's White Zombie, 1943's I Walked with a Zombie, and 1966's The Plague of the Zombies all featured shuffling members of the undead, but their purpose was to serve the human masters who (usually through voodoo) had managed to awaken them from their eternal slumber. But Romero, a Pittsburgh filmmaker who had grown tired of making commercials and industrial films, changed all that with the release of his 1968 classic, Night of the Living Dead. With one film, the status of the movie zombie was changed forever: From A (1980's Alien Dead) to Z (2000's Zombie Bloodbath 3: Zombie Armageddon), it's hard to find a post-Night zombie flick that doesn't feature these fearsome creatures munching down on readily available humans. Read the rest of this review here.

Found video / CL-TV Originals The Story of Stuff
Posted By Rhiannon Fionn-Bowman on Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Wow. Until I saw this, I'd never thought so much about stuff.
This video summarizes what we humans are doing with all of our stuff, where it comes from and where it's going. It's very informative.
So, I ask you, why was this video banned in Missoula, Montana, schools? Seriously. Banned. Read about the controversy here.
