Why there's no more American TV for us to download

The Writers Guild Of America strike is still growing with no end in site. Here's a video to show why it's not going to stop until an agreement is made, whenever that may be:



You can follow updates and the progress of the stikes and stories from the ever growing picket lines (as seen in the picture below with a mass crowd of 4000 people) here on UnitedHollywood. Executive producer of Lost, Damon Lindelof wrote up a good summary of the strike which you can read here.

Look at all the people hoping to get 4 cents:

Bush loves a good photo op

President George Bush visited injured vets at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. Reuters have a picture slideshow which is very hard to watch but really shows how insincere he is about his troops.

I've also read today on Joystiq that he played some video games with some of the former soldiers in a war game simulating tactical action in Baghdad. That must have been a connecting experience for the much loved president to his troops having experienced the horrors of combat first-hand... Oh, wait.

Meet the modern day Ninja

I read about this a few days ago but I never knew what it would look like in motion. Now, I know. Further proof that the Japanese are crazy:

Imagine the embarrassment for everyone involved if someone thought that this disguise was so convincing that they wanted to but a real bottle of soda:

"You know, I thought it felt like a skirt! Good luck with on your hiding adventures. One question- what are you doing in a forrest?"

Waterboarding isn't as fun as it sounds

Here's Keith Olbermann presenting a special report on the latest hot topic in American politics, waterboarding and showing off his very, very, very, very... big vocalbulary:



Here's everything but a good answer- Mike Mukasey at a Confirmation Hearing:



Here's Harry Shearer showing us the most positive side of waterboarding in the style of a Beach Boys tune. It's up for an award too:

Overkill: Prince style

Prince has continued to piss everyone off after trying to "reclaim the internet" from YouTube, eBay and the Pirate Bay and threatened legal action to prevent them further encouraging copyright violations. Now, he's taking legal action against sites (including many of his own fan sites) for hosting photos of him, album covers, even lyrics. Madness.

These tales of a Prince gone mad reminded me of the Dave Chappelle skit featuring Eddie's brother Charlie recounting his basketball game against Prince:
