Drill, Baby, Drill!?!

Is this enough oil for ya, Sarah?

42,000 gallons a day!

This is heartbreaking:
The oil is escaping from two leaks in a drilling pipe about 5,000 feet below the surface. The leaks threaten hundreds of miles of coastline in four states, with waters that are home to dolphins, sea birds, and prime fishing and tourism areas. Concern Monday focused on the Chandeleur and Breton barrier islands in Louisiana, where thousands of birds are nesting. If the oil continues oozing north, the white-sand beaches in Mississipi, Alabama and west Florida could be fouled. 4,000 acres of oyster grounds that could be affected if the spill worsens.

...companies have also aggressively opposed new safety regulations proposed last year by a federal agency that oversees offshore drilling.

Keep on drilling, America! You reap what you sow.

Survivor: Double the Idols, Double the Fun

Everyone likes me! I'm soooo hot!
LOOOK AT ME!!! (Parvati "The Cheshire Pussy")

We're not quite sure how this season can continue to just get better episode after episode or how after 20 seasons and countless Tribal Councils anything could be a surprise anymore....but it's happening!

First at Tribal, Coach arrived with his shirt wide open exposing the Dragon Slayers tattooed chest...wait, that's what happened later not first.

First, the tribes Merged and there was the Merge Feast. Everyone is happy.

Except Parvati. Other people after the merge were talking *gasp* with other people and not everyone was focused solely on her. The horror! She made up for this by giving an interview where she talked about how great she is...again. One thing most Survivors have more than any god damn thing in the world is an Ego the size of the Big Giant Head.

Skip to Sandra giving Rupert the Intel of His Life and Rupert bought it, but only half way and that led to the Heroes downfall. Rupert should have really believed it and tried anything to change what happened next. Sandra told Rupert that everything Russell said was a lie, Russell gave the Idol to Parvati who had it and that the Idol was still in the game. Rupert took this info to Tribal and just sat there hoping Parvati would play the Idol and "out" herself. Not good enough Rupert.

At the Immunity Challenge...fuck it who cares? Danielle won.

At TRIBAL COUNCIL Rupert suddenly started screaming about ripe bananas and green plantains and well, we're not sure about Rupert this year. He's clearly off his meds.

Votes are cast and Jeff asks famously, "If anyone has an Immunity Idol and wants to play it, right now is your chance." Heads start craning, is anyone moving? Does anyone have an Idol? Russell is smiling like the fucking Devil. Parvati, as the Fucking Devil, says "Well, Jeff. Actually, now that you mention it..."

And pulls out TWO IMMUNITY IDOLS, makes some dumb speech, which didn't matter in the least because everyone including Jeff and RUSSELL was completely stunned, shocked and awed, stands up and hands them out like Immunity Candy...one to Sandra and one to Jerri.

Jerri and Sandra practically ran to Jeff to hand them in and save themselves. Parvati using Russell's The-Old-Tribal-Council-Immunity-Idol-Give-Away-To-Buy-Off-Your-Tribe-Trick but with DOUBLE the Immunity Power! It was AWESOME!

Another historic Tribal. Freaking Unbelievable. Freaking Stupid. YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT ONE HIDDEN!

Parvati sat there smiling like the Cheshire Pussy and laughed her ass off. She saved Jerri, who had like 8 votes and would've gone home. Jerri smiled, laughed and held her head in her hands. Total Shock.

Russell, not knowing that Parvati had one of her own and having given her JT's, looked her right in her face and said, "You've got some explaining to do." Translation: "You just betrayed me and You're Next." Parvati just smiled at him and shook her tits, tossed her hair and laughed. We think we made up that part about the tits, but she never stops dick teasing flirting anyway, so who cares.

JT got 3 votes and was sent packing proving that his love letter to an opposing member of an opposing tribe along with the Immunity Idol WAS IN FACT The Dumbest Move Ever.

UPDATE: Travelocity Gnome Arrested!

Hantz was eventually released.
But get this, Hantz is still in contention to win "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" -- which is airing now on CBS ... and yes, he's one of the "villains."

HAPPY EARTH DAY 2010!

Happy 40th Earth Day!

For all the newbies:
Earth is the fifth-largest planet of the eight in the Solar System. It is also the largest, most massive, and densest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets. Home to millions of species, including humans, Earth is the only place in the Universe where life is known to exist. The planet formed 4.54 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface within a billion years.

The Supreme Court Can Suck On It

Everyday it seems we are outraged by another injustice in this world.

Today's outrage comes directly from the Supreme Court. There once was a law in this country. A briefly lived but brilliant law accepted in 1998 or so, that said that a person/company/whatever can not make profits off of animal cruelty videos.

This law was prompted by "crush videos" that show gorgeous women stomping on little furry animals to kill them or using a stiletto heel to impale them to death. These videos were in high demand in Japan in the 1990's. Yeah, the Japanese are fucked up. We know. However, considering the vast number of sickos worldwide, these videos came into even higher demand when bestiality became all the rage on the Internet and the cruelty factor got higher and higher and quite frankly needs to be stopped. Now.

Well, in all their fucked up wisdom, the Supreme Court has voted to allow such videos citing free speech issues. "What about hunting videos" they cried. "That could be labeled animal cruelty, blah blah blah". We know hunters. And although they have very small penises and use guns on defenseless animals to make up for it, they aren't trying to be cruel, they are trying to be cool. Hunters rarely go out and say "let's fuck with this animal".

What this overturned law does is vastly undermine the animal rights movement. Forget the wild game that people are hunting, these videos involve dog fighting rings, taping the fights and selling for profit. Barbaric, horrific, disgusting aren't words that even cover this. They involve any form of animal cruelty being taped and sold underground on the Internet. Cockfighting. Dogfighting. It's legal to profit off it now.

This comes on the heels of the Ringling Brothers Incident and we're definitely upset. Ringling Brothers tortures elephants and other animals and the videos shot undercover PROVE it decisively. However, the case was thrown out of court because the man that shot the footage worked undercover for PETA and had a "vested interest" in "seeing torture". NOTHING about the ELEPHANTS. Video notwithstanding, thrown out of court.

GRAPHIC PHOTOS.
It's difficult but YOU MUST SEE IT TO KNOW TO STOP IT!

This is one of the nice pictures showing how Ringling Brothers treats baby elephants. The man on the other side of the elephant is holding a bull hook to it's head. That's what that "stick" is.
It's hooking into the side of the baby's neck right behind her ear.
The trunk, the most sensitive part of her entire body? It's being squeezed and tied for no reason. They have the baby tied down and are stretching her out so that she will stand on her hind legs one day for us! YAY! You can take your kids to see it!

When PETA videos animal cruelty they don't sell it for profit. They use it in court and in the court of public opinion. They broadcast the videos for free to expose the dark side of animal "entertainment". When they sell the videos on their website, it's to raise money for them not the guys who beat the shit of the tigers to make them jump through fire and the money is used for more undercover stings.

Animal Cruelty for profit is gross. We need to re-enact another like minded law and shut it down. Yes, we are mashing up a couple of issues here but animal cruelty is what it is. It's all the same.

Don't Wake the Pontiff!

Shhh! Don't wake the Pontiff!

We guess all that hard work defending yourself for protecting pedophiles is kind of exhausting. The Pope fell asleep during Mass on Sunday.

We wouldn't care but IT'S HIS ONLY JOB! We manage to stay awake during ours.

Happy 420!

Happy 420 to all of our marijuania smoking friends out there!

Blurb from Wiki regarding the Hemp Conspiracy:
Hemp paper threatened DuPont's monopoly on the necessary chemicals for manufacturing paper from trees and hemp fiber cloth would compete with Nylon, a synthetic fibre, that was patented in 1938, the year hemp was made illegal. It is often asserted in pro-cannabis publications that DuPont actively supported the criminalization of the production of hemp in the US in 1937 through private and government intermediates, and alleged that this was done to eliminate hemp as a source of fiber—one of DuPont's biggest markets at the time. DuPont denies allegations that it influenced hemp regulation.

Of course they do! What is DuPont going to say? Oh, hell yeah, we shut that hemp shit down for Nylon!

Don't forget that our Founding Fathers grew hemp, used hemp for everything and all...ALL...EVERY SINGLE ONE of our founding documents are on hemp paper. The first Betsy Ross American flag is made out of sailcloth. SAILCLOTH IS HEMP. It was always hemp and nothing else. Thomas Jefferson went to France and brought back super-hemp seeds to strengthen the strains here in America.

Today they arrest you for planting hemp seeds. Why? Seriously, WHY? What is the problem? Why is medical marijuana still illegal in most states? These laws are ludicrous.

Whatever! Go channel your inner Tommy Chong today and rock out to some Sweet Leaf!

Classic Sabbath!

Tibet Earthquake Relief

Tibetan children huddled around cardboard amongst the ruins trying to get warm

People need your help!

The disaster is serious. 2,000 people confirmed dead, 12,000 people injured, 85% of all housing collapsed with survivors left out in the freezing cold and the main power grid was destroyed and is barely back online. Snow is hampering relief efforts. People there need help now.

China itself is asking for international help if that's any indication how bad it must be.

2 people were pulled from the rubble yesterday, 5 days after it hit. The people are begging the Chinese government to let the Dalai Lama come in and be with them, pray with them and help rebuild with them. The monks have been hit especially hard. Many temples and irreplacable historical relics have been destoyed as well.

China will not allow the Dalai Lama in and would probably just shoot him on sight. However, they are declaring today a "Day of Mourning" throughout China in recognition of the victims.

It's About Time

Directly from Whitehouse.gov:

The White House
Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release April 15, 2010 Presidential Memorandum -
Hospital Visitation

SUBJECT: Respecting the Rights of Hospital Patients to Receive Visitors and to Designate Surrogate Decision Makers for Medical Emergencies

There are few moments in our lives that call for greater compassion and companionship than when a loved one is admitted to the hospital. In these hours of need and moments of pain and anxiety, all of us would hope to have a hand to hold, a shoulder on which to lean -- a loved one to be there for us, as we would be there for them.

Yet every day, all across America, patients are denied the kindnesses and caring of a loved one at their sides -- whether in a sudden medical emergency or a prolonged hospital stay. Often, a widow or widower with no children is denied the support and comfort of a good friend. Members of religious orders are sometimes unable to choose someone other than an immediate family member to visit them and make medical decisions on their behalf. Also uniquely affected are gay and lesbian Americans who are often barred from the bedsides of the partners with whom they may have spent decades of their lives -- unable to be there for the person they love, and unable to act as a legal surrogate if their partner is incapacitated.

.....It should be made clear that designated visitors, including individuals designated by legally valid advance directives (such as durable powers of attorney and health care proxies), should enjoy visitation privileges that are no more restrictive than those that immediate family members enjoy. You should also provide that participating hospitals may not deny visitation privileges on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

We are overjoyed for our gay and lesbian friends who will finally be able to visit their sick partners in hospital. One small step....

Here's the Official Memo.

Lake....What Was That Again?

We're not sure what the NIPMUC People were Nipping On, but this is the real name of what locals in Massachusetts call Lake Webster. The official Native American name cannot be pronounced by anyone living or dead anymore, and we think even the Indians had a hell of a time with it or at least had half an hour to say it. It is the longest place name in the world with over 40 letters.

Benazir Bhutto

FROM BBC NEWS:

The assassination of ex-Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto in 2007 could have been prevented and the subsequent inquiry was bungled, according to a UN report.

It says insufficient security measures were taken by the government of then President Pervez Musharraf.

And it concludes that the police deliberately failed to investigate the murder properly as they feared intelligence agency involvement.

The independent UN commission of inquiry urges the authorities to launch a "credible, serious" investigation into Ms Bhutto's death at a rally in the city of Rawalpindi "and bring those responsible to justice".

Its report says that the pervasive presence of Pakistan's powerful politicised intelligence agencies hampered the initial inquiry.

Wow. This makes us super sad. Is there any justice in this world?

Survivor: JT Makes History!

Yes, this kid is the Dumbest. Player. Ever.

Survivor: JT Makes History -
FOR THE DUMBEST SURVIVOR MOVE IN THE
ALL TIME HISTORY OF SURVIVOR!!

We'll get to that in a minute.

First, we had the Reward challenge in which the Survivors had to endure standing on increasingly smaller sizes of wood. The Villains correctly assumed that the Heroes would chose all men, and instead chose all women and won.

Note to producers: NEVER show us a close up of Ruperts feet again!

During this challenge, Sandra seemed to come out of her beeyatch shell and was actually charming and funny. She told a cute story about her and her husband going out to eat before he was deployed to Afghanistan. We kind of like her now.

Jeri cried tears of joy over winning a "Product Placement" Outback Steakhouse Meal. Complete with salad, grilled steak and shrimp and JOY! baked potatoes, wine and cocktails. Cocktails which Sandra slammed like a college kid with a beer bong. She then told an even funnier story while half drunk, which we can't remember because we were laughing at her being tipsy on Samoan Fruity drinks. Has she always been like this? Sandra's rating went WAY up last night.

OKAY. BACK TO "REALITY". The Unbelievable has happened. And in Survivor many, many unbelievable things have happened.
A few of our examples:
When Jonny Fairplay had his tribe in tears over his dead grandmother story, when she was alive and well.
When, James got voted out of the Game with not one, but 2! TWO! Immunity Idols IN HIS POCKET.
When Russell plays.

Well, what happened last night is completely and totally without precedent. J.T. aka The Most Delusioned and Stupid Survivor EVER, figured out, wrongly, we add, that the Villains since voting out all the guys except Russell are in an all girl alliance and that Russell needs to be saved so that when the tribes merge, JT will have Russell on his side. JT decided to give his Immunity Idol to Russell with a note, telling him all of that, plus asking Russell to vote out Ho-Bag Parvati and to keep it secret.

WHAT! Now, here's where it gets into Twilight Zone Territory. The Heroes agreed that this was a good move. They actually agreed to give Russell an Immunity Idol. Repeat: They actually AGREED, Rupert, Colby, et al, to GIVE THE IMMUNITY IDOL TO RUSSELL. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWEEEE! Are you still there? We couldn't believe that in a million episodes of Survivor, a member of an OPPOSING Tribe would cross-lines and GIVE AWAY Immunity! It's....without words.

So, at the Immunity Challenge, Colby, The Hero whispered covertly to Russell, The Villain that they wanted to save him from the all-girl alliance and give him Immunity. Russell contained his astonishment and glee long enough to meet with JT on the sly and grab the package with the Idol and the note.

Back at Villains camp, Russell immediately did what JT asked him not to and shared everything with Parvati. Skip to Russell's interview: " Now I don't even have to find idols. People are just handing me idols. You don't give that to your enemy. Especially one named Russell Hantz."

We told you Russell is the greatest Survivor strategist of all time and with luck like this, will go down in history as an entire How To Play Survivor Handbook.

So the Villains gloated over JT being an idiot and having the Heroes thinking that the girls are in charge when it's Russell. And when they went to Tribal it was Courtney the Skelegirl that got booted and not Parvati. Parvati, who by the way found an immunity idol clue, stuffed it in her underwear and then gave it to Danielle who put it in her bra. EWWW! Parvati Ho-Bag then found the idol and shared it with Danielle and Danielle only, not Russell, who is on a "need to know basis and doesn't need to know"...

The Villains have 2 Immunity Idols in their tribe and didn't have to use one this week to vote out Courtney. The Heroes are done.

Did we mention Coach? The Dragon Slayer himself showed up for his first Jury appearance in full Samurai Warrior mode, complete with a full flowing robe Kimono and we swear, chop-sticks in his hair. He looked somber, sullen and very judgemental.

Even Probst blogged: COACH COMES STRONG AT TC
I would be remiss if I did not comment on Coach’s wardrobe as the first jury member. Love him or hate him, the man owns his “personae” and I dig it.

After watching every episode of Survivor for ten years now, we can honestly say that this is the best the show has ever been. We were almost scared when Boston Rob and Coach were booted that the show would deteriorate and would be boring. NO WAY! It just gets better and better this year....ask Jeff:

Egyptian Archeological Bonanza!

Indiana "Pharaoh" Jones amidst his pride and joy

Since December 2009 alone there have been numerous press releases directly from Dr. Hawass outlining discovery after discovery. It is a most fabulous time the archaeologists are having in Egypt right now. It's literally a field day.

Here are some highlights:

Dec. 2009 - A stash of golden coins is recovered in Naqlun, dating to 750 AD

Jan. 2010 - 2 large tombs discovered at Saqqara

Jan. 2010 - Tombs discovered at GIZA

Dr. Hawass

Dr. Hawass's Press Releases

Many people make the mistake of thinking that dreams cannot come true, but they can. You have to believe, and know that they are more than just imagination.
— Zahi Hawass

Update: Dr. Hawass has retrieved even more artifacts!
Egypt signed an agreement with Switzerland on Wednesday establishing the return of stolen artifacts to Egypt. HAHA!

We're On This Guy's Side

We never agree with war here at Omni, however we will most always support our soldiers, especially the Veterans of foreign wars. We know for every "we burned and raped a village story", there are a dozen more "we helped the orphans, people and animals stories" and we appreciate that.

This supposed Baptist "church" in Kansas has got to go. The Westboro Baptist Church, a disgusting organization with an absolute sicko for a leader, goes around the country picketing at funerals. There is nothing lower that that on a social scale (without actually physically harming someone). They protest military funerals because they believe that God is targeting the military for accepting gays. They are despicable, horrid psychopaths.

One of the father's of a soldier who's funeral was targeted has had enough and is suing the Westboro church for "invading his privacy and intentionally inflicting emotional distress."

He has gotten donations from ordinary people who also think that this group of insensitive and dickish fuckers should be put out of business and we are on his side, too.

People need to start protesting this church as loudly as that church has been protesting the grieving families at funerals. We believe in Free Speech, however, disturbing a funeral is pretty low and stupid. They won't protest the Pentagon because they are a bunch of cowards. Picking on a grieving family at a funeral is despicable.

Turning this into a Free Speech issue, when it is clearly a Hate Crime is a shame. It's what's going to twist everyone's panties up in a bunch. It should be obvious that these low life's should be run out of town. End of story. Go Free Speech yourself into a tizzy at your own church, isn't that what your fucking pulpit is for?, and leave funerals and grieving families alone.

"Houston, We've Had a Problem Here..."

3 of the happiest people on Earth - Lovell, Swigert and Haise

40 years ago this week, on April 11, 1970, NASA launched the Apollo 13 Lunar mission, with astronauts Commander James A. Lovell, John L. "Jack" Swigert and Fred W. Haise.

The mission became famous for being a "Successful Failure" and was adapted into the hightly entertaining and awesome movie by Ron Howard 1995.

Although they didn't land on the Moon, their equipment turned out to be a ticking timebomb and the entire mission was dubbed a failure, the mission was a success because ultmately, the 3 men survived. This had been in doubt for many days as the men struggled with their craft to fix the problems they faced and get the damn thing back to Earth safely. They splashed down on April 17th to worldwide relief and fanfare. People in New York converged on Grand Central Station to watch the eventual rescue aboard the USS Iwo Jima recovery ship.

The Smoking Gun

Proof!
Cardinal Ratzinger allowed a child molester to stay in the church.

Hey, we wanted to believe the church's excuses and douchebag whinery too:
Its the victims fault
The media is on a smear campaign
The homosexuals are to blame
The Devil made us do it
We feel like the Jews during Holocaust!
Yada
Yada
Yada
Blah
Blah
Blah

Now we know, the Roman Catholic Church is so utterly consumed with the thought of bad PR that it embraces the priests that are putting their penises in children, because **DRUMROLL PLEASE** it's protecting "the good of the universal church."

WOWZA RONI!! Got that one?
How's that workin' for ya, Joey?

Your attention please! All eyes up front - we need your absolute attention!

ANYONE WHO DEFENDS THIS ACTION OR REASON THEREOF IS JUST AS CRIMINALLY LIABLE, INSANE AND ABHORRENT AS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC HIERARCHY.

Get this through your THICK HEAD: Speaking out against child rape is NOT BLASPHEMOUS. DEFENDING THE POPE IS THE ESSENCE OF BLASPHEMY. POPE BENEDICT AND HIS CRONIES NEED TO BE CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED AND GO TO JAIL. PERIOD.

Go ahead...try and defend pedophilia! Try to defend an organization that ALLOWS IT, SANCTIONS IT, REWARDS IT and LAUGHS IN YOUR FACE ABOUT IT.

PROOF! Oh, make sure you read the part where Ratzinger urged that the pedophile in question be handled with "as much paternal care as possible" while NEVER mentioning the little boy who's butt hurts from the giant priestly penis that was just in it.

CBS Coverage

Take Back the Church This is the best articulated article yet on how WE feel.

Note: Once again, we will say that we acknowledge that child rape happens everywhere to every social class, religion, age range, salary range etc... Yet, only the Roman Catholic Church ENDORSED IT by not turning in anyone suspected of it and indeed, takes better care of those men who like to have young boys suck their cocks than the poor young boys doing all the hard work sexually satisfying the priest. How UNFAIR!

"An Alliance Based on Lies"

Coach Benjamin "Dragon Slayer" Wade...
Need a Confucius quote? He's your guy.
Credit: CBS/Robert Voets/Landov

"An Alliance Based on Lies", says Coach, clearly hurting over losing Boston Rob. He was angry and wanted Jeri to know it. Coach's fear, rightly so, is that the team without Rob is too weak to win anything.

For the reward challenge, the clue alluded to something..maybe a merge, so the Villain tribe packed up their entire camp and took it with them. And promptly lost the challenge. And no Merge! They were completely fucked.

To make it worse, it was a bowling challenge a child could've won and the reward was pizza. Glorious heavenly pizza. Plain, toppings, breadsticks, bread, brownies! and beer. Ice. Cold. Beer.

J.T. found the Immunity Idol and promptly told EVERYONE on the island. Being Heroes, they were happy for him and did not try to beg, borrow or steal it. We don't get it either. Amanda lets her girls parts hang out as she is almost naked. The thing impersonating a bikini bottom is smaller than a bandaid. What a skank.

On the Villain's tribe, Courtney is a skeleton and it's fucking gross. Seriously, remember those horrific picture of WWII concentration camp victims? They are fat compared to Skelegirl. We CANNOT believe they let her stay.

Sandra, most likely the least favorite Survivor ever, got one on Russell BIGTIME. All she had to do was feed him a line about Coach double-crossing Russell and Russell ate it up like...well...whatever Travelocity Gnomes eat.

It was total bullshit and he bought the whole farm of it. Way to play the game, Sandra. Tables have turned.

At the Immunity challenge, Russell and Sandra were paired together and Russell had to drag her ass through the quagmire of mud to no avail. That pair lost when Sandra got stuck under a barricade. HA! It was Coach's worst fear realized. The Villains' will NEVER win without Rob.

Rupert diving under barricades loaded his beard with mud and looked like Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It was would have been funny as hell, had the race not been a barnburner with Coach just beating him out at the finish line.

Villain lose anyway. Poor Jeri needs a meal. She's completely out of it.

However, the mud revitalized The Dragon Slayer. He said he "feels strong again" and immediately resumed his Tai Chi at the beach. All seemed right. But major lies were brewing at the Villains camp.

At Tribal, for one, Jeff called Parvati, Poverty again. She must be from the sluts...wait..slums! Ha! Secondly, Probst is an icon. The Survivors speak to him like they are at a job interview. Jeff is The Boss.

9th person voted out of Survivor and the first person on the jury is: COACH!

NO!! WE WERE BLINDSIDED. NO WAY!

The Villain tribe is officially a bunch of fucking idiots and Russell screwed himself so phenomenally it will take a host of miracles to bail him out of this one. He doesn't have the numbers now.

Dear Russell,
Coach would have allied, man. The Coach abides. Now Sandra Snakeoil Salesman has your ballsack in her cold icy grip. You're fucked!

Will Russell rise like the wild card he is and make it? Find the Idol? Merge? STAY TUNED!!

Rupert Boneham, aka Hagrid, after the mud challenge

From Jeff's EW PopWatch Blog:

"GOODBYE COACH
I won’t do a “goodbye Coach” tribute. You all know that I hated to see Coach go. From my vantage point, he’s one of the most fascinating people we’ve had on the show, but there is nothing to be done about it — he’s gone. My tissue box is still empty from last week’s dismissal of Boston Rob so the tears will have to simply fall down my face and onto the floor..."

Did you love the Desmond episode as much as we did?! We got to see Charlie and Des and Daniel Faraday and his how-does-she-know-about-the-timelines mother of his Eloise. Penny showed up and met Desmond in the side-verse which made everyone's heart soar with Love. Honestly, if Penny and Des had their own show, we'd be in.

Answers are coming faster than we can imagine, the thing with LOST is the minute you try to explain it...forget it! You just need to be in the moment and enjoy.

Philippe Cousteau's Message

Philippe Cousteau, grandson of the Legendary Jacques Cousteau

We miss his grandfather so much sometimes, it hurts. This Omni writer wanted one thing as a kid - to be a part of the Calypso crew. We lost Philippe's beloved grandfather in 1997 and the world and its oceans haven't been the same. We wonder what Cousteau would say about the Pacific Trash Vortex. He'd probably throw up like the rest of us...

Philippe is carrying on the family name and trying to rally support for his ocean action campaign.

Here is the full article with the link to Larry King's exclusive at the end...

"April 8, 2010
LKL Exclusive: Philippe Cousteau on finding a solution to an old problem
Posted: 06:00 AM ET
By Philippe Cousteau – his commentary is a Larry King Live web exclusive and his thoughts are his own.

My grandfather, Jacques Cousteau, was an eternal optimist and believed in the ability of humanity to find solutions to the world’s problems.

Now more than a decade after his death and on the eve of his 100th birthday, I am concerned that we are still struggling with the same challenges that he faced throughout his lifetime. Daily onslaughts against the environment such as the new proclamation to open up offshore drilling, while not as bad as it could have been, are still a worrisome sign.

We are a society that still too often treats the environment as somewhat of a nuisance…to be cared for only when it suits our needs. As one of the fathers of the modern environmental movement, my grandfather was a pioneer of ocean exploration. As my father Philippe Cousteau Sr. got involved, together they began to explore the human connection to the environment and our critical role as a part of the global system.

Now, as a member of the 3rd generation, my work is to issue a call to action. Awareness is no longer the name of the game…action must be our goal. ‘Sounds good’ you might be thinking, but how do we make it happen? I have spent many years working in education and media, from hosting documentaries, to being a spokesperson for Discovery Education to revolutionizing youth service through my non-profit EarthEcho International.

Surprisingly, I believe that the solution might just come from an unexpected place…video games. Games are an amazing educational tool and finally the technology is available to really make them a useful part of the environmental movement.

This April, my company Azure Worldwide has partnered with the University of Virginia to launch what we are calling an educational “life” game that simulates an environment, in this case the Chesapeake Bay, and allows players to take on roles that represent the more than 16 million people who live on, and make their livelihoods from the resources of the Bay.

From watermen and farmers to developers and policymakers, as the game is played, every decision has an impact on the health of the Bay and the wellbeing of the stakeholders each player represents.. Inspired by the Sim games that have been so popular over the years, The U. Va. Bay Game is a pioneering step forward and allows people to finally understand that if we are to solve the environmental crisis we face and build a stronger, healthier and more prosperous society we must begin to recognize our collaborative role with the world around us, both human and natural.

On April 8th we are celebrating The U. Va Bay Game at an event at the University of Virginia. This is just the beginning of the Game’s journey; already we are working to develop a version for the K-12 educational audience and because the Game is built as a flexible system it can be applied to any watershed throughout the world.

Thus, the Game becomes a tool that can challenge players to build healthy environments not only in the virtual world, but also in the real one. My grandfather would certainly think this is a exciting project and that he would believe, as I do, that saving our world is one game we can’t afford to lose.

– Philippe Cousteau is the co-founder of Azure Worldwide and EarthEcho. He is the grandson of famed ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau."

Oil Spill on The GREAT BARRIER REEF

WTF? The ship is leaking oil everywhere...
where are the containment thingies?

The Ady Gil after being rammed by Fuckonese Whalers



See the Fuckonese destroy the Ady Gil for yourself...

The Royal Australian Navy is doing a shit job of protecting anything near Australia, including it's own citizens in ships in it's waters, not to mention the LARGEST LIVING ORGANISM ON EARTH..THE GREAT BARRIER REEF.

The Great Barrier Reef is a WORLD HERITAGE site and is protected under international law. The ship that ran aground was 12 miles off course and hit the reef. The ocean is VERY BIG and VAST. How could a ship, even off-course, even come CLOSE to it?

The shipping lanes are too close, too close. This is the most ridiculous thing we've even heard of. If you can't protect the biggest thing you've got, then you gotta problem, brotha.

Dear Royal Australian Navy - YOU SUCK.

This accident is Australia's third such recent disaster! In 2009 there was an oil spill off the Queensland coast and a major oil well blowout in the Timor Sea.

Come on, guys! We know you can do better...you're Aussies for God's sake. Start acting like it! What would Steve say?

Help for the HUNGARIAN Gypsies!

An inspiration for us all...Mr. Geoffery Canada

One of our MOST HIGHLY FAVORED, DEDICATED, RESOURCEFUL, AWESOME, and COMPASSIONATE People is reaching out AGAIN, this time to help the poor gypsy children of Hungary.

Geoffery Canada , founder and inspirational leader of the Harlem Children's Zone, is in talks with the Hungarian government to branch out and educate some of the poorest, most desperate people on Earth, the Hungarian Roma's aka Gypsies.

"Everything in my professional, academic and personal lives has pointed to the same thing: that the key to breaking the cycle of generational poverty is creating a comprehensive education strategy," Canada said. "While the Roma have a very different history than the population served by the Harlem Children's Zone, I believe that the basic principles of our work can carry over to Hungary."

Way to go, Geoff!

The Day Seattle Died...

Layne "The Man in the Box" Staley...

Our apologies for being a day late with this article...

We lost two of Seattle's legendary musicians on an April 5th day.

In 1994, Kurt Cobain put a shotgun to his head and ended the era of music known as Grunge, which he had founded in the late 80's with his band Nirvana. His body wasn't found until April 8th.

In 2002, The Great Layne Staley died in his home of a heroin overdose. Staley's band, Alice in Chains, was also groundbreaking in it's sound, style and vocalizations, making it one of the 90's most influential bands. Layne's body was sadly not discovered for more than 2 weeks. A memorial by fans was held on April 20th of that year. Staley died doing a speedball combo which was what killed the great John Belushi back in the early 1980's. We have still not recovered from losing Layne and will miss him, his lyrics and sweet, sweet voice forever.

The Executioner's Easter Song

Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins 2010 Mandalay Bay, LV

Saint Bernard Hopkins, Philadelphia born middleweight boxing legend, won in an unanimous defeat over Roy Jones Jr. last night in Las Vegas in a super-anticipated grudge match 17 years in the making.

Hopkins is known for his ten year reign as middleweight world champion defending his title a record 20 times. He is the first fighter to retain all 4 major boxing governing body belts including the Ring Magazine belt in the same fight and he is the oldest man to ever hold the middleweight championship in professional boxing.

Hopkins is 45 years old and it's amazing that at that advanced sports age (sports ages are like counting in dog years) he is still kicking butt.

From USA Today
Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones, Jr. have a combined 86 years of age and have 116 pro fights between them. They both have Hall of Fame résumés, and both are Hall of Fame trash-talkers.

Now, 17 years later, Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins, well past their primes, are finally realizing a rematch. The 17-year span between fights is believed to be the second-longest in modern boxing history, behind Larry Holmes-Mike Weaver (1979 and 2000).

The Beluga Whale That Paints

And he's super-cute!


Must-See Video

OH NO HE DIDN'T!!

This makes our blood boil and quite frankly we are outraged at this bullshit.

"Pope Benedict XVI's personal preacher on Friday likened accusations against the pope and the Catholic church in the sex abuse scandal to "collective violence" suffered by the Jews." The Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa said in a Good Friday homily with the pope listening in St. Peter's Basilica that a Jewish friend wrote to him to say the accusations remind him of the "more shameful aspects of anti-Semitism."

Stephan Kramer, general-secretary of Germany's Central Council of Jews, said Cantalamessa's remarks were "a so-far-unheard-of insolence." "It is repulsive, obscene and most of all offensive toward all abuse victims as well as to all the victims of the Holocaust," Kramer said. "So far I haven't seen St. Peter burning, nor were there outbursts of violence against Catholic priests. I'm without words. The Vatican is now trying to turn the perpetrators into victims."

I'm sure our Jewish friends are shaking their heads over this.

Here we go: a pedophile priests rapes a young boy, gets transferred from parish to parish over a 25 year span, raping more boys along the way, the pedophiles' boss doesn't care, lets it happen over and over, FINALLY GETS CALLED OUT ON IT and when the backlash gets too much compares his "suffering" to the Jews? WTF?

We tried to understand, even through our outrage that maybe the Church can change. Not anymore, this is outright WAR. The Catholic Church has PROVEN Over and Over Again that is a despicable organization. They have been exposed as the Pedophile Ring that they are. This is the last straw. They blamed the victims, the media, the Devil, the parishioners themselves, the gay community and now they are suffering like the Jews during Holocaust? FUCK YOU!

Our outrage stems from the fact that these are supposed to be HOLY MEN. They are supposed to be held up to a higher standard than most. Pedophilia happens everywhere unfortunately, but when it happens at a school, police are called, when it happens anywhere, police are called. Why do they feel they are beyond this? They are acting very defiantly and very defensively and it's uncalled for and offensive.

We understand it is Holy Week and that those of you will never understand why we attack the Vatican at all let alone on Holy Week. Well, it's because they are using their penises on children, lying about it, covering it up and blaming everyone else but themselves and they refuse to take any responsibility. That's why!

Vatican Backtracks Now the Pope's personal preacher isn't even a Vatican official. They really don't realize what assholes they are, do they?

NOTE to Catholics: We keep reading that Catholics are questioning their faith in this sex scandal crisis. Don't question your faith. Question the authority that allows child rapists to continue to say Mass. We urge you to: FIRE THE ENTIRE DAMN HIERARCHY OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND RECLAIM YOUR RELIGION AND YOUR FAITH IN IT!

Happy Birthday Susan Boyle

We LOVE LOVE LOVE her rags to riches story!

At age 47, frumpy, spinster Susan Boyle took the stage in front of a skeptical and disdained audience and changed the world. The viral video seen by millions of people, showed the horrified looks turning into shock and then awe and tears of joy as Susan belted out Her Dream.

Today she turns 49 years old. For her birthday Simon Cowell gave her a $6,000 diamond bracelet that she had seen in a magazine and commented on one day. He also gave her the greatest gift ever...a royalty check for $6,000,000 from her first album. She is the new Six Million Dollar Woman and we couldn't be happier for her!

Happy Birthday, Susan!

Superman is Back

Boston Rob in his happier days before he knew Russell existed

What a turnaround for the Heroes tribe this week! Not one, but TWO wins getting a nice Reward feast and Immunity after one of the worst droughts in Survivor history. Colby completely redeemed himself getting the upper hand in both challenges and kicking ass, so we have our Superman back, sans girdle. Rupert, Rupert, Rupert! I'm not sure what's going on with you this year - you're kind of a disaster - but after ripping Russell's toupee off last night - you rock!

The reward challenge was another physical game and towards the end Russell and Rupert actually started to fight - fists were thrown just as hard as the animosity. It ended with Jeff calling the challenge for the Heroes and with Russell holding a soggy ball of toupee and revealing his baldy bald head. He looked like he wanted to kill Rupert literally. It was a kind of basketball challenge in water and Oh My - Coach is obviously not a golfer! Big Lebowski references aside, Coach cannot for the love of anyone play b-ball. Every shot was short and just awful. Poor Coach! It just wasn't his episode as we'll recount in all it's terrible glory.

When the Immunity Clue was read at the Reward feast, Rupert was disappointed to "be back in the game". Dude, seriously? AS LONG AS YOU ARE ON THE ISLAND YOU ARE IN THE GAME. Don't want to think about it anymore? Then go home and stop complaining about EVERYTHING this year.

Boston Rob and Coach each took turns getting distraught over Russell and who's going home. Coach has a love for Boston Rob unlike anything ever seen on television. It would be a beautiful thing if it weren't Boston Rob and Coach. But by episodes end, Coach was visibly upset and conflicted because he's "honor-bound" to play the game with Jerri, his Black Widow. He shook hands with Rob and promised not to vote him off minutes after kind of joining Jerri and Russell. Later, Coach confronted Jerri about "putting all her eggs in Russell's basket" which made us throw up a little but was funny and sad at the same time.

Jerri is totally hot. We'd take her over ho-bag Parvati any day. Call us, girl! We love you.

Jerri lamented that she was a terrible villain. We disagree. She might not feel like a villain, but when she lied right to Rob's face, that was it. Rob asked her point blank, "is it me?" and she said "I don't know" after laughing about voting him off at the beach 5 minutes before.

Russell spent his time rallying the tribe vote against Rob and building alliances with Coach and Jerri. And then came a CLASSIC RUSSELL Line:

Scene: Russell and Boston Rob relaxing on the beach with Sandra and Courtney.

BR: "Who would you vote off?"
Russell with a sweeping motion towards the girls: "One of these."

The shock was almost too much for BR who had to scrape his jaw off the sand. Sandra and Courtney just continued to play in the sand but you could read the look on their faces, they knew Russell was telling the truth. Rob was simply astonished. He's completely old school Survivor and Russell has him dazed, confused, ranting and raving half the time.

Of course, Russell was lying. His target was Rob all along and he GOT IT!

Again, at Tribal, Jeff mentioned that last week's Tribal was the best in the 20 year Survivor run. We agree!!!

Boston Rob was talking all kinds of bullshit about Russell and his style of game. Russell let Rob have it. "Loyalty?" Russell responded "I put my butt on the line for my people. I was willing to go home. If that isn't loyalty, I don't know what is. I don't think you have the guts to do what I did last Tribal." He was referring to his astonishing use of the Immunity Idol last week and it was AWESOME.

Coach kept his promise to Rob and threw his vote away, voting for Courtney. The rest of the tribe was split - Russell and Rob. Jerri's vote was the one that put Rob away. Coach tried to hug Rob as he got up, but Rob brushed him off calling him a "little man". Coach tried very hard not to cry. He knows he'll be vindicated. Rob just didn't know that Coach DID have his back and he mistakenly thinks Coach voted for him. They will have GREAT make up sex when it's all figured out.

Russell either did something very great last night by getting rid of Rob before the Merge and before Jury selection or he fucked up royally. How the hell the Villains are going to win anything without Rob is beyond us. However, it stands as one of the greatest elims ever and this season of Survivor is sooooooo good we can hardly breathe watching it! We'll miss you Boston Rob, you are awesome and we know why Coach loves you.

Our beloved Jeff Probst warned us that this was going to be the best Survivor ever and one to put all other seasons to shame. He was so right!

Jerri, the Black Widow


Parvati, Ho-Bag

Who would YOU rather?

Our Easter Wish

We wish that Pope Benedict would get up on Easter morning and do The Right Thing. He needs to announce the sacking of the too-many-to-count pedophile priests and swear to cherish his flock and not the shepherds. Literally, he should say Mass and during the Homily, defrock the priests, announce a renewed vow to God and Jesus that the Catholic Church will not tolerate abuse of children, nor will it continue to ignore the wishes of it's parishioners.

This will not happen for two reasons:
1) The parishioners don't care enough to stand up in Church and decry what has happened. If they did, this issue might have been settled decades ago. For some reason, Catholics hero-worship Priests, Bishops, Arch-Bishops and Popes.

2) Although 95% of priests are decent, honorable, kind, gentlemen who genuinely not only want to serve The Lord but His People too, they are ruining everything by not speaking up! Why do they themselves allow Vatican policy to tolerate pedophiles?

Note to Catholics regarding point #1: You are supposed to only worship GOD and JESUS. Whoever told you about Papal Infallibility and whatever made you venerate and worships priests WAS WRONG. They are men and they are doing a job. The Catholic Church is run by businessmen. It is a BUSINESS First and a Religion Second. Not sure about that? Adamant against it? Then why in the middle of Mass do they collect money? Didn't Jesus have a problem with money being interwoven with churches and temples? Shouldn't you, then?

Not enough parishioners have written the Pope a letter, sent him an email or faxed him your thoughts on the subject. Do you want a sex offender, parading around as a priest, to be transferred from church to church to abuse new kids at every turn? Do you want to return to the church or to be happy about it again? Do you want this black cloud hanging over it forever?

Try writing this:
Dear Pope Benedict, Although I've been a faithful parishioner for the last 40 years, I am no longer donating money to the Church until you have FIRED -not retired - but DEFROCKED all pedophile priests. I do not want my money paying off Vatican lawyers. Thank you, John Q.

The Pope’s regular mailing address is:
His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI
00120 Via del Pellegrino
Citta del Vaticano

The Pope’s email address is: benedictxvi@vatican.va

We want all of our Catholic friends to know that we don't hate the Church. We hate the fraternity cover-your-brothers-ass-no-matter-what mentality. In our world, in the REAL world, you touch a kid, police get called in. End.Of.Story. You touch a kid and you're done, brotha.

STAND UP and SAY SOMETHING. The Church will continue to laugh at you, blame the media, blame gay people and make sure everyone knows that The Pope is above the law and that he and the church pedophiles and pedophile sympathizers can do whatever they want with your children, until you say enough is enough!
