Brad Sucks

I just wanted to draw your attention to this band called Brad Sucks, the one and only member is a Canadian by the name of Brad Turcotte.  Other than the music, which is pretty damn good if you're into experimental rock, I love this band for the fact that it releases all of it's music under Copyleft. 

Because he has his music licensed under Copyleft, you can get it all for free.  It's a beautiful thing really.  If you watch athenewins on Youtube, the guy who does all of the World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2, Ipower, etc, you've probably heard his music.  They use it in pretty much all of their videos because they can do it for free, and he doesn't mind because its free publicity.

So check it out, it's free!  http://www.bradsucks.net/

Superbowl Half Time show with the Black Eyed Peas

I can't even stand to watch the whole performance.  And who the hell told Fergie that she could sing "Sweet Child of Mine".  Hitler saw this shit coming.

Spartacus: Blood and Sand

So I just started watching this show and I have to say it's freaking brutal.  Every episode is full of boobs, blood, and orgies.  One might find this to be over the top and offensive.  I disagree.  I think the show captures the depravity and decadence of the Roman people, especially the aristocracy.  Most of the show takes place in a Ludus (gladiator training hall), where violence is commonplace and the men are particularly savage.  My only major problem with the show so far is that Batiatus, the lanistae (owner of the ludus) has ambitions to become a senator.  Historically this would have been impossible as a Lanistae was seen as half pimp and half butcher, they were not exactly the most respectable of people.  Though, their position did carry some weight.  I also noticed there there are Retiarius (net and trident fighters) which didn't exist at the time of the third Servile War (I think those first came about around 200 years later).  I'm sure there are a few other historical inaccuracies that I haven't caught but the show does a pretty good job.  All in all though the show is pretty damn fun to watch, I highly recommend it.

Picture related, it's freaking Spartacus.

GLP

Is anyone a member of Godlike Productions?  I heard some rumors about the site being pressured to close.  What with this whole Alex Jones/Prison Planet/David thing going on it's almost like the federal mafioso's are going around and putting the squeeze on conspiracy sites.

But,whatever, I heard there was a football game today or something?

USA gives Russia UK's nuclear secrets

Here is the link:  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8304654/WikiLeaks-cables-US-agrees-to-tell-Russia-Britains-nuclear-secrets.html#

At this point all I can do is laugh when the Federal government betrays the trust of its people and allies.  "Oh those elected public officials! They're at it again! Hah ahah ah." 

Net Neutrality

I just want to throw this out there to anyone that happens to read this. 

The internet needs to be free.  It has done a damn good job running itself for the last 2 decades and it doesn't need the FCC or anyone else to wrap their claws around it.

If you have the time check out this Wall Street Journal article, or do some googling to find out some truth for yourself.

Update

I'm still trying to figure out how to make this work so it probably won't be good to go for a couple of months.  Hopefully Call of Duty: Black Ops and Halo: Reach will still be fresh on everyone's minds when I start up some competitions though.  I can see Black Ops multiplayer having some pretty awesome potential for competition.
