Yeah it was definitely pushing the boundaries. I am surprised that I haven't heard more people talking about it. One of the most controversial stand up monologues I've ever heard.

A comic friend of mine said "I can't believe anyone was offended by that. Nobody watches SNL."

New documents obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request show that Scotland Yard kept a secret dossier on various science fiction shows and movies out of a fear that they would cause rioting and cyber attacks. On the list of worrying imports were Star Trek, The X-Files, Roswell, Dark Skies, and Lawnmower Man.

The dossier was called “UFO New Religious Movements and the Millennium” and isn’t dated, but the references to the new millennium and the Heaven’s Gate cult seem to date it to 1998-1999. The report was honestly worried that TV shows could drive conspiracy theorists to action:

Fuel is added to the fire by television dramas and feature films mostly produced in America.

These draw together the various strands of religion, UFOs, conspiracies, and mystic events and put them in an entertaining storyline.

... Obviously this is not sinister in itself, what is of concern is the devotion certain groups and individuals ascribe to the contents of these programmes.

well, there's l ron hubbard. the moonies. and the following (listed as 'religiously motivated suicides' but perhaps better described as quasi-religious)

Peoples Temple (1978)
Main article: Jonestown
On November 18, 1978, 918 Americans died in Peoples Temple-related incidents, including 909 members of the Temple, led by Jim Jones, in Jonestown, Guyana.[12] The dead included 303 children. A tape of the Temple's final meeting in a Jonestown pavilion contains repeated discussions of the group committing "revolutionary suicide", including reference to people taking the poison and the vats to be used.[13]

On that tape, Jones tells Temple members that Russia, with whom the Temple had been negotiating a potential exodus for months, would not take them after the Temple had murdered Congressman Leo Ryan, NBC reporter Don Harris and three others at a nearby airstrip.[13] When members apparently cried, Jones counseled "Stop this hysterics. This is not the way for people who are Socialists or Communists to die. No way for us to die. We must die with some dignity."[13] At the end of the tape, Jones concludes: "We didn't commit suicide, we committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world."[13]

The people in Jonestown died of an apparent cyanide poisoning, except for Jones (injury consistent with self-inflicted gunshot wound) and his personal nurse.[14] The Temple had spoken of committing "revolutionary suicide" in prior instances, and members had previously drunk what Jones told them was poison at least once before, but the "Flavor Aid" drink they ingested contained no poison.[15] Concurrently, four other members died in the Temple's headquarters in Georgetown.

Solar Temple (1994–97)
From 1994 to 1997, the Order of the Solar Temple's members began a series of mass suicides, which led to roughly 74 deaths. Farewell letters were left by members, stating that they believed their deaths would be an escape from the "hypocrisies and oppression of this world." Added to this they felt they were "moving on to Sirius." Records seized by the Quebec police showed that some members had personally donated over $1 million to the group's leader, Joseph Di Mambro.

There was also another attempted mass suicide of the remaining members, which was thwarted in the late 1990s. All the suicide/murders and attempts occurred around the dates of the equinoxes and solstices, which likely held some relation to the beliefs of the group.[16][17][18][19][20]

Heaven's Gate (1997)
On March 26, 1997, 39 followers of Heaven's Gate died in a mass suicide in Rancho Santa Fe, California, which borders San Diego to the north. These people believed, according to the teachings of their group, that through their suicides they were "exiting their human vessels" so that their souls could go on a journey aboard a spaceship they believed to be following comet Hale–Bopp.[21] Some male members of the group underwent voluntary castration in preparation for the genderless life they believed awaited them after the suicide.[22]

I've been rediscovering why Pink Floyd is awesome.

Meh. They're "OK".

Anyways, finally getting around to watching Game of Thrones, and on episode 4 right now of season 1. Pretty loyal to the book overall. And pretty well done, particularly for a TV series set in Medieval times and everything else.

And my opinion of Joffery early on is the same as it was in the book early on. A little shit that needs to be beaten. Tyrion is good for some laughs with his quips. And Sean Bean is Ned Stark. And knowing Sean Bean's role in pretty much everything he's been in...

[jonesthecurl]

Off on my travels again. NYC, UK, Spain, NJ, back to Cali. Won't be checking in much as my last game just finished.

New Jersey is like the exact opposite of Wyoming. Where Wyoming is one of the largest states in square miles and the lowest in population and 2nd lowest in population per square mile (only Alaska has smaller), New Jersey is one of the smallest states in square miles, but is one of, if not the most crowded states in the US.

*Lets Muy go back to listening to 50 near identical AC/DC songs.

The first season of Game of Thrones stick pretty much straight to the book just with some things left ot. The second season sticks to the book except they add onto and change some of the stuff with Arya and Robb Starks storylines. The third and fourth season drift off a bit from the book but stay true to the spirit of them. The fifth season so far seems to have mostly abandoned the books.

Peter Dinklage (Tyrion "Halfman" Lannister) is one of the best if not the best actors on television right now. Tyrion at this point is probably my favorite character.

For the last couple of weeks, I've watched Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and this week will now be Army of Darkness.

Well, AC/DC did recently release a whole new album. Sadly, without co-founder and rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young who is suffering from dementia and no longer remembers their songs. In his stead, his and Angus Young's nephew has taken up the rhythm guitar spot.

And half way through or so the 1st season, yeah. It is pretty faithful to the book.
