The other day I got an mpeg of the failed TV pilot for this Warren Ellis comic book turned TV show GLOBAL FREQUENCY, and then I had a chance to read some thoughts on the show by the its TV creater John Rogers (see this site for John Rogers' comments) and I have to say it's too bad this show didn't get picked up.
I would suggest that most people should search TorrentSpy or some other torrent site to find this mpeg of the show and then watch it. It truly is one of those shows that injects faith into the human condition in a way that almost all shows eschew. The concept of the comic and show isn't for me to explain (I'd rather your get the torrent or get the collected graphic novels and experience yourself; eventhough I'm a writer, I don't want to cheapen another QUALITY writer's work by doing secondhand description.)
It would have been an interesting show, but it was slated to go on The WB? Like that channel has any good dramas... It could be a place for challenging TV, like what Fox was doing when it originally came on (and what Rupert Murdock allows on FX).
TV is doing some good shit of late, like OVER THERE and THE SHIELD and the upcoming HBO show ROME. But TV (or whatever episodic filmed entertainment is going to be in the future) needs to be able to address certain issues, ideas, genres and philosophies. GLOBAL FREQUENCY is a SciFi show that wasn't tryinig to be regulated to the SciFi Channel (although the updated Battlestar: Galatica is pretty amazing), it was trying to do what the original Star Trek and Johnnie Quest did back in the day -- attempt to reach the primetime audience with poignant stories or rollicking entertainment.
Damn, why does TV have to be so expensive to continue to produce.

Do they really think they can turn off the Media Spotlight
Our two favorite heiress-cumburpers both claim that they want to avoid the media spotlight in a couple years, that the whole tabloid thing is so gauche, so passe (don't you love how French has all the cool words for wack-as-fuck, without cursing).
Well, these two are probably going to be grossly examined if NBC's new reality-expose show I WANT TO BE A HILTON lasts more than a few episodes. Premiereing tonight, we'l have to see just what it means to be spoiled rich, out of touch with what the bulk of the population deals with and
It's funny, back in the 1920s and 1930s, the movie industry (and Broadway) made tons of films that depicted the lives of America's artistocrats as people with foibles and relationship problems just like the rest of America, only they had fat bank accounts to help them in and out of scrapes that most of the audience found delightful, escapist and chucklesome.
However in the 21st century, being rich and acting like the rules don't apply (they never did, but at least it was kept in the backrooms and behind closed doors) with wanton sexual behavior and crass publicity hogging it seems gross. Sure we all love fucking and many of us have taped ourselves doing, so the sex isn't what is interesting. Somehow seeing Paris adequately swallowing cock in her video tape or acting like a complete slut for Carl's Jr. -- seen the ad? -- has tantalized and tainted our vision of what it means to be young with money.
Is Paris beautiful? Hard to say, we need to see her in the morning?
Is Nikki fun to be around? I don't think so, as we don't she her basely engaging everyone around her when a camera is on.
What about the Mom & Dad? How do they feel about the way they raised their children? Oh, I forgot they didn't raise their kids -- a slew of nannies and others did. Hmm... I guess we'll see if being a Hilton is about shit after tonight.

I Want My Cold Hard Cash
Information theft is THE crimeof the digital age... it's never going to be preventable, just like brick-n-motar crime isn't really preventable. So today when I read about MasterCard International having 40million carholders information jacked, it makes me wish it was a lot easier to get and keep cash.
For the past decade now it has become increasingly difficult to obtain, keep and use cash. Not that we the people don't have money, but that the digital age continues to ask us to rely on electronic means to pay for our goods and services. The digital age wants us to forget about using paper -- of any sort -- for consumer transactions. Consider those Visa CheckCard commercials, which basically tell the consumer don't use the greenback, shit, don't even use a check -- just use that little piece of plastic with the vulnerable magnetic strip on the back.
I figure it's only going to get worse, because ALL consumer information is being transfered to databases -- medical records, bills, banking info, DNA scans, shopping habits, whatever the fuck can be collected, analyzed and collated is going to be converted to one's and zero's whether we like it or not.
Pretty soon consumers, the young of today, will start seeing paper money with some sort of "cheap" stigma to it, opting for plastic, eschewing the lovely, tangible feel of that special U.S. Mint paper in one's fingertips.
Speaking of fingertips, the digital age is pushing to have consumer information embedded in a microchip that will be implanted in one's thumb or forefinger -- something that bums, panhandlers, thieves and street hustlers will no doubt (and easily) cut the fuck off to rob people in the near-future digital age.
The thing about Cash though is that criminals love it the most because it is virtually untraceable. For instance in Europe there is a ���500 note, that is the denomination of choice for the criminal element because it represents so much value in a think piece of paper. The ���500 note is banned in Portugal and soon to be in other Eastern Europe for the obvious reasons.
The biggest problem is that you don't know what information of yours is stolen, but not being used until a later date -- late around Christmas of 2007!
I'm looking to keep all my money in accounts that aren't tied to my debit/credit cards -- that way identity theft susceptiblity is reduced.
Diversification, baby, is what we're all about.

Europeans stealing in Africa -- Again!!!?!?!
So it is... in Lagos, Nigeria, Gunmen who seized two German and four Nigerian oil workers are demanding petroleum giant Royal Dutch/Shell honor promises of jobs and benefits in the oil-rich south.
Royal Dutch/Shell controls the oil in Nigeria, not the Nigerians. In effect making Shell a shadow-member of OPEC. The caustic and ugly problem in Nigerian and all African Oil states is that Africans -- who's natural resource the oil is -- don't have the technology (and it and the money required to leverage it are stridently keep from the African regimes) to better their countries.
The kidnappers are dissatisfied with Shell's implementation of an agreement to provide nine communities bordering oil fields with jobs and basic social benefits. Now, if you read between the lines then you'll quickly see that what this means is the Shell, like all Occidental powers, is doing it's most conniving to keep Africans poor and struggling. And I think I know why. See if the states in Africa got their act together like China, then the global economic shift would transfer tons and tons of wealth to Africans -- as their countries are the most natural resource rich ON THE PLANET and the labor costs would undercut even the Chinese.
The World Bank, IMF, Trilateral Commission and the G8 (not to mention all the cats who gather in Davos every year) wouldn't want this to happen.
The Iduwuni National Union for Peace and Development group claimed responsibility for the Wednesday kidnapping of the six employees of a German contractor for Shell.

Jackson - Acquitted, will he change?
Okay, so he's not guilty -- at least of these charges, but perhaps the diposed king of pop is guilty of some sort of malfeascene. He's paid money before to make the kid-fucker allegations go away, so whatever Michael does he needs to change his way of living.
Why is it now, after the trial comes out in favor of the defendant, are all the pundits and media talking haeds claiming that the prosecution tried a questionable case, and that they really played themselves with the conspiracy charge (which is the only reason by that bizarre as mother was up on the stand, making a SUPREME fool out of herself).
Everyone claims that the Jacko camp isn't going to go after these people for malicious intent -- I would, starting with that retiring DA who was crusading against Jacko -- I'd go after him to drain his retirement money. Teach him a lesson for holding a grudge when he's sipping gruel at some old folks home in Tijuana ('cause this city is going to implode kind of soon).
Well, this is interesting: first Puffy, then Kobe and now Michael -- star niggas who HAD MONEY ENOUGH to say "fuck off" to the justice system that has habit of chomping at the bit whenever a high-profile nigga gets in trouble.
Next up in the Justice System crosshairs is past-his-prime R&B singer Gerald LeVert (he was arrested in that bitch racist town Cleveland a couple months back for arguing with a copper).

Jacko: Are my kidnappers coming to get me soon...
As they say, The Jury Is Still Out... but that doesn't mean that Jacko is going sit through the Verdict Stage or a possible sentencing.
Jacko operates above the law, or at least he believes that he does, for so damn long it's obscene. He's bribed his way out of many a legal scrape in the past (greasing the right palms is a way of life in most 3rd World countries, but it's steadily on the rise in the US, and has always been accepted -- if done right).
Unfortunately for Jackson, the public has already tarred and feathered The Gloved One -- a long fucking time ago. The head-scratching behavior that dude has exhibited for almost two decades now has numbed us to what's going on in Jacko's life. We been bludgeoned with so much "what the fuck is that?" over the years (particularly since Jacko has become a father) that at this point we just want to see what's going to happen, to see how this once-beloved figured swirls down the toilet with bubbly, brown shit percolating in the mix.
It's quite unheard of to have a society celebrant depcited with such abject cruelity, yet fascination and still
Sadly, Jacko's music career is DONE. Unlike people like Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stone and The Eagels, there is no Jacko tours that anyone what's see -- the music videos (an art form he helped create) is THE way we want to remember him. Not this wispy, rag-doll of a bitch-man that keeps showing up in court or on "how could you authorize that" TV specials. I read somewhere that Andre Hurrell (or maybe it was LA Reid) said he would work with Jacko on a music album -- bascially on GP.
I still think that Jacko needs to stage a kidnapping, then show up in Bali or Java late next summer with a whole new persona and then decide not to come back to the United States. All these fallen celebrities (notably the niggas, i.e. Orenthal James) paly themselves by remaining the US. A country that will bring its celebrities to highest pinnacle of fame and attention, but will relish the fall much more than the rise, it doesn't make sense to live out your the rest of your life with that history/baggage. People always asking, looking, pointing, just doing that dumb shit Americans do. Live someplace else where you can make your diminished fortune last longer.
I just want to know what Jacko is going to do once this is over -- what's his appeal going to look like if he does get convicted? What happens to Neverland Ranch?
The next week should tell us.

Vicente Fox - Niggas have no place!
This janky-ass Mexican so-called leader made some caustic-ass comments that stem from a SUPREME level of ignorance of American Blacks and their still-fucked-up treatment in the laughably called "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave" aka the USA.
Lapdog to Prescott Bush's Grandson (the current President) Vicente had caused offence when he said Mexicans did jobs in the US "that not even blacks wanted to do". Those jobs include: picking fruit by hand (perhaps cotton), being janitors and garbage personnel in white enclaves, corporations and buildings, being maids to wealthy, bitchy, fuck-toy, trophy wives of the American upper class, and everyday back-breaking labor. But the connotation is that niggaz aren't capable of doing any higher quality, more value-added work -- except breaking a sweat for peanut wages
While the US and people like Rev Jackson said the Mexican president had expressed regret for his "harmful" remarks, Mr Fox explained he was merely defending the work done by Mexican immigrants.
But the Mexicans illegal or not, who do this work -- this work that Blacks were forced to do for no money, work that is considered the bottom of the barrel and therefore contributes to the sting of the word "nigger." See if you have to work the fields and get whipped for slacking off -- just for a hot second -- then you don't EVER want to have to think about stepping foot in an argriculture commodity field, unless you own it, and you damn sure don't want your children or your children's grandchildren even doing.
As for the urban "slaves" American Blacks don't want those jobs, and cavaliery shit on the prospect of cleaning up after white people in their corporate american offices because -- up until the late 1960s, if you were Black and highly intelligent you might not be able to get any job accept for doing janitorial work. Could be well-read, articulate, and incisive with your thoughts and comments, but still be regulated to the menial, shit-eating jobs -- 'cause white America wouldn't let you make a living, a legitimate living, otherwise. The black market of drugs, prosititution and smuglging was always available, but who wants to be caught in that game?
It's no secret that Vicente Fox has NO IDEA about what American Blacks had and have to go through. Even today, the average Black with a graduate degree makes the same kind of money as white dude with just a high school diploma!!! Hmmm! Chew on that one, Mr. Presidente.
Presidente Fox needs to work on why kidnapping is BIG BUSINESS in his country, I think only the state-run oil monopoly generates more cash. If it and drugs weren't cannibalizing his country's GDP then maybe all those illegals wouldn't be wading across the Rio Grande or getting stuffed into a stifling hot van and secreted across the Sonora Desert to get "slave" labor work in the US.
Mr Fox made the comments last week to express frustration with tough new immigration legislation recently approved by the US Senate.
More to the point about Fox's comments is that he's claiming that American Blacks aren't worth doing much else by doing those slave jobs of old! As if niggas can't get respect in any other field except for the chump work that latin illegals get.

Do You Want A Peek At Heidi?
I was thinking more and more about the Seal & Heidi Klum marriage, and I can't understand why there has been a spike on the readership of this blog where searches are coming in along the lines of "heidi klum nigger" "heidi klum fucks nigger" and so on.
Well, maybe I can -- no one white wants to hear about a gonzo-chested, stunningly beautiful white woman getting dicked down by a Black man, let alone marrying one and having a child. Especially a white women in Germany, the so-called heartland of racial hatred. I think people are mad, because a Black man gets to see, fondle and suckle Heidi's breasts and nipples every night -- whereas no white man is doing that again.
I can't expect the world NOT to be a racist place when it comes to Blacks -- not all people of color, mind you, just those of African descent. As you'll see where ever you go, western and southern Asians give Africans (either from the continent or those from the diaspora) the muthafuckin' finger when they turn their back. Even when they are darker than many American Blacks!!! Don't go into a 7-11 in Los Angeles that's run by Indians or Afghanis or Pakis or Persians and expect primo service.
Ironically, Persian women craving American Blacks -- you'll have to ask their men, why though. I can't tell you. Maybe it's because there is no bass in the voice of Persians (or anyone outside of American Blacks for that matter) and that deep "bedroom voice" that is an act by most men, is just normal takl for American Blacks is seductive from jump?
So it's not just a skin color thing -- it's a race thing; something that jackass thinkers like Kant and his German 19th century ilk sought to codify to keep Blacks down. I guess they did a damn good job, 'cause niggers are still suffering like you wouldn't believe.

Quit starving yourselves, bitches!
The skinny as fuck model look is dangerous to your long term health?
It seems so. As researchers from the Institute of Preventative Medicine in Copenhagen found those women with wider hips also appeared to be protected against certain heart conditions.
Women with a hip measurement smaller than 40 inches, or a size 14 would not have this protection, they said.
I KNOW that Black women, who typically have junk in the trunk, have wide-ass hips. I wonder if this means they will live longer? I don't see too many stats on the life expectancy of Black women; it's usually Black men who aren't expected to live psat their 50s!
The researchers say hip fat contains a beneficial natural anti-inflammatory. They said this anti-inflammatory, called adiponectin, prevents arteries swelling up and becoming blocked.
The hourglass figure has been made famous by women ranging from Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren to Kelly Brook and Catherine Zeta Jones (see picture of said hot broad) today.
Previous studies have found both men and women with small hips are at an increased risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure and gall bladder disease.
However the study, which has been published in Obesity Research, found a wider hip circumference was not linked with better heart health in men.
Professor Berit Heitmann, who led the study, said: "It seems that the protection is not a matter of wide hips, it's the detrimental effect of narrow hips with a lack of muscle fat, or bone or a combination of both.
She added: "Fat on hips is different than fat on the abdomen." Which means all you women who have fatback (when the blubber in the area above your ass that peeks out when you're wearing a shirt that is too small, too tight -- loose that! And it's not sexy either.
