I'm guessing the garlic tariffs are just to keep the price of garlic within the EU high enough to keep local garlic-growers in business.

I think my comment on the trailer for Piranha 1 was that it would probably be marginally better if they left the piranhas out and just showed 90 minutes of people sitting on the beach. I'm less than enthused that I seem to have been right :(

While it's only for 90 days here, we've already got the sacked-with-no-redress law here. It's most curious just how global these ideas are.

I wouldn't cry if the whole Phelps clan were to DIAF.

We prefer Chinese Garlic and always go our of our way to buy it - I suppose it is more expensive but I'd never considered that was due to tax.

I don't have a link handy, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that Westboro Baptist Church gets its funding by suing people who get angry enough at them to throw a punch or whatever. Picketing a 9-year-old's funeral would fit in with that plan.

I really think we should stop talking about the Phelpses. Just don't mention them. Neglect to acknowledge their existence. Take away their power to attract attention.

Backstage pictures from films etc done mostly with CG or projection suck hard compared to ones from films with actual sets/costumes.

"she had the poor taste to be born on 9/11/2001.."

There are no words ugly enough to describe the Phelps family and their insane founder.
