Negative -- This latest installment of the series is the most offensive yet. Lulu the black mage has bad taste in clothes. Yuna summons beings of the "fayth". Wakka, the most religious character in the game, is portrayed as a prejudiced bully and turns on his faith under peer pressure. And tidus, the hero who is supposed to save spira (and is actually sent from his father), is ultimately described as "a dream of the fayth". There are too many play on words, such as: "Maester" (pastor), "yevon" (heaven), "fayth". The game eventually comes down to saying atonement is futile, the church is corrupt, the faith is a dream of the past and humans can have heaven on earth. And it's all wrapped up with pretty graphics and nice music. My Ratings: [1/4]

Very true. The air force was very responsible for preventing 9/11 yet few blame them.

German 'Samurai' on the Loose in Woods Near Berlin

The man pushed two elderly people off their bikes and, flashing his sword, shouted at them to leave the forest.

Just like the samurai of old. Nothing says "Bushido" like pushing old people off bikes.

What is Team Ryouko?
The Simple Answer: We are a team of Martial Artists who combine our traditional training with elements of gymnastics and break dance to create what is called Xtreme Martial Arts.

Encouragement to be more athletic. If I kept up with Tae Kwon Do from high school, I might've been able to do some of this now /sigh.

I feel weirdly compelled to share this with the world. Scroll down to the commentary at the bottom.

More Marvel names than DC names could feasibly be used for vibrators and/or freaky sex toys.

Marvel -
Cyclops, Nightcrawler, The Vision, The Hulk, Juggernaut, Colossus, Professor XXX, Iron Man, Onslaught, Giant-Man,Man-Thing (judges would also accept Giant-Sized Man-Thing), Black Knight, Mr. Fantastic, Mr. Sinister, Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom, Dr. Octopus, The Shocker, Apocolypse ("It'll rock your world--into oblivion!"), Hydra, Rhino.

DC -
Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Plastic Man, Elongated Lad, Amazo, Black Lightning...um, The Riddler?*
*To be fair, DC does get bonus points for owning a character that actually does share his name with a sex toy. Mr. Majestic. He is not included in the list itself 'cause he's not technically a DCU native, recent Superman issues and upcoming mini-series aside.

Judge masturbates in court:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/06/24/odd.j ... index.html

In the petition, the attorney general charged Thompson used a penis pump, a device billed as providing sexual pleasure and promising better erections and larger penis size, during trials and exposed himself to a court reporter several times while masturbating on the bench.

"On one occasion, Ms. (Lisa) Foster (Thompson's court reporter for 15 years), saw Judge Thompson holding his penis up and shaving underneath it with a disposable razor while on the bench," the petition reads.

Several witnesses, including jurors in Thompson's court and police officers called to testify in trials, said in the petition they heard the "swooshing" sound of a penis pump during trials and saw the judge slumped in his chair, with his elbows on his knees, working the device. The witnesses said the pump sounded like a blood pressure cuff being pumped up.

I am clearly better than you at flash games with horrible controls that are full of left-wing propaganda. Heh. Funny game though.
