Porn studio vows to chase down Torrenters

"F*** 'em all," Braun told Xbiz. "People don't realize that when you pirate a movie it hurts all of the people who work very hard to get it produced -- from the cast to the production assistants to the makeup artists...So we are going after every one of them who pirates our content."

Yes, well, "the only good cop's a dead cop..."

You never hear that phrase much thesedays, do you? It was very popular in the '80s.

Coming to an angry Daily Mail column near you...

I suppose these kind of courses do serve some purpose - namely to get dim, middle-class kids out of the house for three years.

It's America. If the kids have got through high school without being shot, they deserve the chance to loaf about on a Lady Gaga degree.

I've not read the article, but I'd bet it's not a degree, just one relatively short module within a larger body of sociology/media studies coursework.

I did a whole term on King Arthur when I was at uni, and I didn't read any newspaper reports complaining about that. I'd argue that studying Lady Gaga is probably more useful, and I probably would have got laid more.

Get well soon, Mr Baker!

I'll second that. His enthuiasm and sharp wit are second to none on the airwaves. A lot of people don't get him, especially outside the M25 but luckily for them there's plenty of Mike Smashes and Alan Partridges all over provincial radio, but only one Danny Baker.

I like Danny Baker and still remember fondly a rant he did on Radio 2 (?) when he heard an Armistice Day trailer for a show presented by Mark Radcliffe and decided it was disrespectful.

BBC news is talking about the early tests of bionic eyes today.

Cool Cool Cool Cool

Amazing.

OMG!

This is the shocking moment a crocodile grabbed the trunk of a baby elephant, hoping to get lunch. The scene was captured by amateur photographer Johan Opperman while taking pictures of a family of African elephants grazing by a water hole in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Hearing the calf's distress calls, the herd of elephants immediately came to its rescue, scaring the croc off.

Wow, what a picture to catch.

Ouch! Poor lickle elephant.

Bloody hell.

Lovely sight, isn't it?

Those silly Californians elected Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown again after making the same mistake 30 years ago. At least he admits he's a liar, so that's something in his favor. Eh?
