Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

Piratenews may be a nutter, but at least he can sing:

And in other news, can anyone confirm if this is photoshopped?

If not, it may end up as my second favorite motivational poster next to this one:

I almost adopted the tag line as my signature. "18 times the speed of Light, Because... Fuck You, Einstein!"

"Liberty must not be purchased at the cost of Humanity." --Captain Robert Henner

You know, back in my youth one of my teachers held up PRAVDA as example of propaganda-as-news while railing on about how evil those Russians were...
*Yawn*

Sad days it is, when PRAVDA is more accurate, more honest, and frankly FAR more entertaining than modern "mainstream news" here.

They appear to have it in for Condi, which amuses me to no end, and do themselves and their readers the favor of not taking life so seriously.

Lighthearted that they are, their journalism is in fact far better than our lazy bastards over here who just sit at their desks and copy/paste each others copy/pastes of press releases all day long.

Howdy, Khyron! Yeah, I swore off FFF.net for a while, but I still lurk now and again.

My bet is that some poor intern heard "18 times faster than the speed of sound" (which is obviously really fast, but not implausibly so), and somehow typed "than the speed of light." The frightening thing is: aren't the interns college students? Well--don't they teach physics in college these days??

GEEARRRGGGHHHH!!

Only if you sign up for it - and never to business or journalism majors! ;)

I can't help the sinking feeling that my country is now being run by people who read "1984" not as a cautionary tale, but rather as an instruction manual. - Michael Mock
