“It’s given me a sense of how powerful film can be to move people,” says David Gillon, a Hartford video producer who was one of the film’s subjects. “Thirty years later, this film still moves me.” Word Is Out: Stories Of Some of Our Lives has been restored and has been screened at San Francisco’s Frameline festival, Los Angeles’ OutFest and recently had a run at NYC’s Anthology Film Archives. The re-mastered print will soon be released on DVD with exclusive updates on the cast and crew of the flick.

Because of the joint and the heavy smell of weed emanating from his house, the cops got a warrant and the subsequent search turned up 62 fucking pounds of marijuana, much of it in bales. He pleaded guilty to possession with intent to deliver and this week was sentenced to 1-3 years in jail.

Vatican hit by gay sex scandal

Vatican chorister sacked for allegedly procuring male prostitutes for papal gentleman-in-waiting

Just in case you had no idea, a chorister is a choirboy, but all grown up. And one at the vatican is accused of procuring male prostitutes for one of Pope Adolf’s posse.

Note the Guardian used the words ‘gay sex scandal’ once again, as if it were the scandalous part. What it should read is that Vatican is hit hard by fucking blatant hypocrisy amid a  male prostitution scandal!

Fuck you Nazi Pope and fuck you too guardian.co.uk!

Yeah, that’s what I call raising the level of discourse! The story also goes onto to talk about how “Gentleman in waiting” was involved in corruption of public works, etc. It’s all filtered through this lens:  Homosexuality is disordered, and thereby where it lurks, so lurks corruption? See that still exists in the uppermost editorial echelons. You can detect it in the tone of the article.

I’m not saying the pimps and johns in this case are also victims, but I will ask, Is it because they work in a place that abhors homosexuality and thus are tainted not by the sin of being gay, but by an inferiority complex, by the artificial ‘criminality’ of gayness? Is it because of this that they are now more predisposed to the lure of criminal? They figure their sin cherry’s been popped so in for a penny in for a pound? They turned to crime not because they were gay, but because being gay was a crime?

Well too bad Jesus ain’t real so he can’t bring a can of pain and suck down on the Church that can’t manage to get his message of forgiveness out to it’s own peeps. What fucking good are they, if they can’t get the message of their own flying spaghetti monster right?

Anyway, noone’s been convicted yet, so I’ll shut my yap.

Hello. I apologize for the rhythmless trainwreck of a song before you. The bassist and singer take all of this very seriously. This stuff is of paramount importance. They recorded this and asked me and a drummer to come play some parts on it. Whenever friends do this, I just follow ther direction blindly, letting them do whatever they want. This stuff will never get out to the public, right? Wrong on this one. So I guess this is me defending myself and the drummer. We are not members of the band. We were not asked if this could be made public on YouTube. If we had been, we would have undoubtedly said no. I guess we could have saved them a lot of trouble if we had just told them from the beginning their recording sucked…

…

If anybody’s interested in seeing my actual band (which actually is an intentional joke, unlike Final Placement) this clip is from the “Talent Show” at school last year. Crap quality, crap playing, but a lot of fun.  [I put the post it in our comments section - Editor]

Can’t stop watching this. It’s a video for a song called “Shine” by some kinda New Wavey/punk/tone deaf Christian rock band from a high school in Midland, Texas (George W. Bush’s hood), called Final Placement. It’s soo fucking terrible it’s fantastic — and just when you think it can’t get any worse/better, they start doing a Rockettes-style kick line, the guitarist shreds an off-key solo and they pretend to knock over a Stonehenge-looking boulder formation. Guess this is what happens when Satan is removed from rock & roll:

At least that’s what the drug website BlueLight.com’s unofficial 2010 Price Thread user survey seems to show, with several postings putting the cost of 1 gram of “dank buds” (really top quality shit) in NYC at $20. A random sampling of other areas prices has higher prices in places like East Tennessee for $30/gram and $25 in Orange County, Calif. Looking to get your hands of some? You’ve come to the wrong place, check out WeBeHigh.com — the New York City listing has info on everything from where to buy weed in NYC to how to avoid getting busted by the cops.

Attendant spit on his fingers before counting change to make it nice and phlegm-soaked.

Worker told driver who forgot her E-Z Pass that he would handcuff her and force a strip search if she didn’t pay the toll for the entire length of the turn pike

Attendant called somebody paying with a $20 bill “a fucking liar,” threw her change at her and told her to “get on the road & fucking die.”

Collector threw change back at driver and then sprayed her with an unidentified aerosol spray.

After a heated exchange of words, worker told one driver “I have your address and know where you live,” then called him a “nigger bastard.” Another attendant called one patron a “m.f. nigger.” Classy!

Another worker called one driver “white trash” in front of her fiancé and children. Another toll collector screamed that “You white people don’t listen.”

And think you can pay part of a toll with pennies? “Umm no no no.”
