I JERK OFF TO ARCTOPUS
i told my roommate Bill he would watch a reality show in which they plan and execute a genocide and he said, "Yeah, probably."
don't get me wrong i hate realtity tv. just this one show has got my interest a little bit. but i mean its not like i watch it religiously like angel. just if i see it on i will catch up on episodes i missed.
other than Angel, tv is really an empty presence.

Not a terrorist. Really.
Why are you so judgmental and moralizing, Xfer? Don't you realise that other peoples' moral codes are different than your own? I am afraid you have missed the postmodern bus, my friend. Now excuse me, but I think Camp Auschwitz is coming on.

Hezbollah's unconventional quiz
Hezbollah is the region's largest radical Islamic movement
A game show aired by Lebanese militant group Hezbollah's satellite television channel has raised eyebrows.
In "The Mission", which is shown on al-Manar, contestants battle for points which enable them to step towards Jerusalem on a virtual map.
Questions range from the date of the French Revolution to names of militants who carried out suicide attacks.
The show has drawn criticism for being just a more subtle form of propaganda, the New York Times reported.
One US official even told the paper the programme was encouraging violence, nicknaming it "Name Your Favourite Terrorist".
The US regards Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation and has criticised al-Manar's programmes as being anti-Semitic.
But al-Manar spokesman Ibrahim Musawi told the newspaper that the show - which draws on contestants from across the Arab world - wanted to put its message "into a form that would appeal to a wider segment of the population".
"It is not in an ideological or a direct way, but in an entertaining way," he said.
Contestants compete for prizes of up to $3,000, with each question they answer correctly they move one step closer on a virtual map towards Jerusalem.
Should a contestant successfully reach Jerusalem the show plays a favourite Hezbollah song which declares "Jerusalem is ours and we are coming to it".
Palestinian issue
Hezbollah, or "Party of God", emerged in the early 1980s and rapidly became the region's largest radical Islamic movement.
Its early objective was to drive Israeli troops from Lebanon, but after Israel's withdrawal in 2000, it shifted its focus towards the Palestinian cause and is now a mainstream Lebanese political party, with nine members of parliament. "These kinds of programs are very important, repeating the issue of the Palestinians, keeping it vivid in our minds, keeping it alive," former contestant Muhammad Abu Ghararah told the New York Times. "We always have to remember the Palestinian cause and that is what Manar does."

Hey Yasser, did you see last night's episode? They turned good ol' Jery Stampnitzsteinberg into a nice pile of ash! Too bad they allowed Julie to keep her child, I was expecting another burning. The next episode sure will be a holocaust! HAR HAR!Yasser Arafat said:
