Source: badgerherald.com --- 20 hours ago In Hollywood, it's all about taking it to the next level. Pushing buttons, straddling the line of taste and seeing just how far you can go before the man takes you down. That is (partly) what Hollywood is all about, Charlie Brown. That leads us to Hollywood's latest thrill: The red-band trailer. It's the online movie trailer that happens to be so awesome (read: Obscene, profane, violent and likely to contain nudity), you have to promise you're at least 17 years of age to watch it. And by "promise," I mean "enter in whatever birth date you want." Hollywood isn't fooling anyone when it puts up that "wall" between the children of America and the latest red-band trailer. It knows the barrier is not so much a wall as it is a small, easily-traversed-without-any-sort-of-consequence fence that's there only because the Motion Picture Association of America requires it. And that leap -- if you even want to say it takes that much effort -- has been the growing source of controversy among parents worldwide. Brooks Barnes of The New York Times recently wrote a column about the growing frustration that the red-band trailer, particularly the trailer for upcoming film "Kick-Ass," has caused. In the trailer (you know, after you click through the age pop-ups), we see a kid who likes to masturbate to his high school English teacher, Nicolas Cage finally realizing what kind of films work best for him (i.e. the ones where he isn't made out to be the han ...

Source: springston.blogspot.com --- 4 days ago For weeks now we have been letting people know that the MyViewMatters Radio Show would be airing a live Debate between Republican Candidates for Metro Council District 19. This was a new venture for us and for the local radio community to be involved in. I must say I was not disappointed. Due to a possible conflict of interest, as I have stated publicly I support a candidate in this race, in the interest of fairness to all candidates I did not participate in this Debate. Many thanks to Clint Hardy of Ky GrassRoots radio for filling in as co host with Ed Martin. Though we are still working on a solution with Clear Channel on live simulcasting with Ky Grassroots Radio they will be podcasting the Debate on Friday night at 7 PM. Thanks guys. Both Ed and Clint did a great job and I look forward to the MyViewMatters Radio Show setting the standard for bringing future radio on air debates to the listening public. My sincerest appreciation to Kaven Rumpel, Jerry Miller, and Daniel Osborne for agreeing to the Debate and being forthcoming in answering to their potential constituents. Hopefully, we have opened the door to bringing interest to the smaller local races that affect so many of us on a daily basis and usually are the ones that are bineg ignored. Additionally, Louisville Mojo's John LaFollette decided to follow the Debate through a live blog at www.louisvillemojo.com thus helping get even more people involved in local politics. Many t ...
