Review of War of the Worlds: "War of the Worlds" is rated PG-13. Much of the earth's population is wiped out, leaving very little time for sex or bad language. - nytimes.com
It's bizarre. I was taking a couple of kids into town a while back and an idiot pulled right out in front of me when I was doing 100. I nearly stacked into the back of him and said several bad words. Then I turned around and apologised to the kids for swearing, and explained that it was only because I got a fright.
"Hey, my reactions just managed to save you from serious injury and death, but man, I'm so sorry I said a bad word while doing so." It's a bit ridiculous really.
It reminds me a little of what Mike Moore wrote about the movie he made where a black man was shot by police, and in the next scene a woman is seen bludgeoning a rabbit to death to sell as food. He got complaint after complaint about the rabbit, but no-one said to him "Oh! How could you show a black man being murdered?! I couldn't eat for weeks."
Ahhhhhhhh. I slept in until 8! My god! I can't remember the last time that happened. To provide context, I usually wake up crying about 3.30, either from pain or nightmares. It's totally bizarre to wake up while it's light.

It charges that on May 5 and 6, Mr. Johnson used a program called Evidence Eliminator to try to erase more than 12,000 files from his computer. [...] Federal prosecutors also brought a charge of obstruction of justice, claiming that Mr. Johnson attempted to destroy evidence - nytimes.com
Here's a tip: Next time, don't go with a product that indicates a crime in its title. Something innocuous like, um: FileOrganiser or TidyUpLegally might be better than, say, Evidence Eliminator or GoDirectlyToJail.

Posted by: giffy at June 30, 2005 12:28 PMthey got a guy in new zealand on a charge of destroying evidence when he attempted to wipe.. or was it smash? his PC cos the police were narrowing in on him as being a d/loader of child porn. actually, there's a product on the market in NZ with a similar title.. it's like systemwiper or something and it's for removing stuff so your PC can't get audited. i'd imagine that having the program on your computer (unless it has a handy function to wipe itself after use) would be more incriminating than most of the stuff ppl would be trying to get rid of. would totally let police/prosecutor imaginations run wild.
yay for the sleep! that's excellent. i guess there is at least one benefit of the govt choosing a cheaper product to subsidy after all!
