Bono: crack down and save our biz model

From the BBC
Paul David Hewson known as Bono of the musical group, U2 wants the U.S. to adopt China's methods of policing the Internet. China is the same country that arrested and jailed an individual for e-mails he had in his Yahoo! draft folder.
Bono suggests that "rich" Internet providers are receiving the profits that should rightly go to the music industry.
We interpret this totalitarian suggestion as "we don't want to change our business model after all it's made me hundreds of millions if not billions (I don't know I lose count when my salary goes over nine digits) and I don't want to make less money and have to adjust my lifestyle like millions of Americans and own just one jet instead of five like Tom Cruise so we the music industry want to force Internet providers to police the Internet to protect our profits. After all I need that money to offset payments to Al Gore for my Godzilla size carbon footprint."
We particularly like the comparison of music file sharing to child pornography as a basis to track a couple hundred million people's online activity. Way to go Bono.

Smith drops knowledge on Twilight haters
(Warning: This youtube clip contains profanity)
Across the galaxy Earth movies are enjoyed by many. The ability to encapsulate, share and impart knowledge, wisdom, humor, emotions and other values within a three act structure through story telling is seen as one of the few redeeming qualities of Earth culture. However, Twilight is a much hated film throughout the galaxies even among 12 year-old girls. But Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma, Mall Rats) drops knowledge on nerds and geeks at the 2009 San Diego Comicon. We in the Alliance like Kevin Smith, so listen to what he has to say and "feel the room get moist."
