I had heard of the story of the attempted rape and say the accompanying video, but I had noooo idea Autotune the news got a hold of it.
I’d get more into the story, but I have to catch up on the Autotune news. This song better show up in clubs and bars.

(12:12:47 PM) SJ: …he didn’t have to get bailed out
(12:12:54 PM) SJ: he could have saved that money for his buttload of lawyers
(12:13:13 PM) BJB: it’s true!
(12:13:34 PM) BJB: it’s like… can i remind you that you banged a 13 year old?
(12:13:53 PM) SJ: and intoxicated her with drugs and alcohol
(12:13:57 PM) SJ: to do so
(12:14:30 PM) BJB: I guess being married to sharon tate could fuck a dude up… but that’s not an excuse to bang a 13 year old

(12:19:34 PM) BJB: he needs to be in a special kind of jail
(12:19:38 PM) BJB: the asspound kind
Dear Roman Polanski,
Shut up. Seriously, shut the fuck up. You left the country to escape the United States law. You made the decision to stay out of the country since 1977 while leaving the case officially unresolved.
I read your recent statement on a pdf file. You seem to feel you’ve fulfilled your sentence for having sex with a thirteen-year-old girl in 1977 that you gave alcohol and drugs to. Have you realized that, had you stayed in the country, this all would have been over long ago? Maybe even twenty years ago?
Artistic talent is a fantastic thing to have, and people believing in your talent garner support to you. You’ve been making movies all these years, fantastic movies that so many people love. You’re still a rapist.
At this stage of the game, it’s common knowledge you banged a barely teen-aged Samantha Geimer by giving her sedatives and alcoholic drinks while you were well above the age of eighteen. It’s been over thirty years and the victim of this crime has come to terms with it, yet you haven’t actually served your term as you were never properly sentenced. That time you were held was only for psychiatric evaluation. Why do you think that you should come back Stateside without finishing what you started? For such a professional, you seem to be lacking on tying up your loose ends.
Geimer asking for the case to be dropped shows that she’s tired of the lack of resolution. Her request being denied shows that many other people feel that there is a rapist that has not paid his debt to society. You face- and ass-fucked a young teenager. Come back and serve time and you’ll be going back to making movies in no time.
Sincerely,
haddadadad

Jeffrey Thomas decided the Disney princesses needed some jazzing up, comic book style. So he did. Here’s a few of my favorites, cropped. You can see them in full as well as the rest at his blog o art.
While some of them are just the characters drawn with grimaces and lack pupils, others are freaking creepy, like Cinderella. Jesus Christ.

This is my new camera. I’ve owned it for 3 hours. It’s approximately the same size as my Sony dsc-h2 and weighs a pound or three more. This guy shoots in RAW format. RAW allows fine manipulation of the image, including but not limited to: fill light, hue, exposure, vibrance, and other things not really thought about. It’s able to shoot in both RAW and .JPG at once, creating two files for easy viewing. Be still, my heart; I still need a charger, zooming lens, and lens filter.
Stats for the dorks:
Canon EOS 400D aka the ~Rebel~ xti
2.5″ viewing screen
built-in flippy flash
CF storage
Canon Lens EF 50mm (what i have for now)
10 megapixel capability
auto sensor cleaner woohoo!
Yay for craigslist.
Next on the things-i-shouldn’t-buy docket: inspired by Cam’s need for a mixer for recording, now i’m looking for one after trying to record Branwyn. Result: when hooked from the amp, there is a crazy electricity interference buzz with both the XLR and 1/4″ outputs. When Branwyn is plugged directly in, no sound gets captured. Stupid passive pickups. I’ve recorded Betsy before with a giant Phonic mixer, but i want the bumbum Branwyn packs that Betts lacks. Also, I would like to have something more compact than 16-channels.
Another way to go about it would be using an instrument microphone like an SM57. I’m wary about micing (”miking?” that looks like “viking” only lamer) when it comes to bass. If you have any ideas, shoot them my way. Or Cam’s. I guess. I GUESS. Guitar for him, bass for me, awesome for all. Barry, stop living far away goddammit.
