national disability organizations and special olympics warning people not to see tropic thunder
Yea i thought this was spam when i got it, I have volunteerd at some events for special olympics thats why im on their list, any way, They have decided to send a email to everyone that is in that is in thier system to not see TROPIC THUNDER!!! Cause it uses the R-Word (retard). When i read this email it made me think for a minute, that they are wanting everyone to boycott one movie for the word retard but they dont say any thing about the movies that have people pretending to be retarted or act retarted (the ringer, Bench warmers, ECT ECT) lots of movies make fun of special needs give take, Lots of movies make fun of religion (not saying they dont boy cott) Lots of movies make fun of fat people, Do we over react, meh what ever, just read the email they sent and comment if you think they are over reacting.
“Dear Friend,
I invite you to be a fan of dignity and join me in a campaign to stop the use of the “R-word” (retard). This week, the film “Tropic Thunder” opens in movie theaters across the nation. While intended to be a satire on Hollywood actors and producers, the film uses the word “retard” in a poor attempt at humor. Special Olympics has joined forces with national disability organizations to combat the use of this word in everyday vernacular. It is dehumanizing and anything but funny.
I am asking you to help me in this campaign by boycotting the film “Tropic Thunder.” If we can hurt the ticket sales of this film, we will have made a statement to Hollywood that we will not stand for this type of content that is hurtful to people with mental disabilities.
We are staging an organized presence in many cities across Missouri on August 13. It is our hope to educate the public that this word is hurtful. Click here for an organized event near you.
Be a fan of Dignity, don’t say the R-word. Visit http://www.r-word.org/.
Thanks,
Mark C. Musso
President & CEO”
With a statement like “If we can hurt the ticket sales of this film” they sound pretty serious, I guess they think its ok to pirate the movie thou cause they wanna hurt the ticket sales.. meh what ever, we over react in today society

Resident Evil 5: The Gore will be Intense
Capcom has stated that RE5 will not cut down on gore, just for age certification. They’re going all out on it.
No comments“We’re never going to create a gore-free Resident Evil title to try and get a lower rating as it’s a game about the horror experience and gore is part of that.” -Rhys Cash, Capcom UK’s research and planning manager.
“There’s no reason why an appropriate adult title should be seen as something to be shied away from. What I do see publishers moving away from is titles whose only raison d’être is ‘adult themes’ and only goal is to shock.”
DirectX 11Details
Microsoft announced at GameFest some DirectX 11 details. It offers support for 10/10.1 DirectX cards as well as DirectX 11 cards.
No commentsHow about a “new compute shader technology” that gets your GPU ready to do more than just boring old 3D graphics – instead “developers can take advantage of the graphics card as a parallel processor”? Not doing it for you? How about “multi-threaded resource handling that will allow games to better take advantage of multi-core machines” since, y’know, most every computer nowadays has multiple cores? Or “support for tessellation” which allows “developers to refine models to be smoother and more attractive when seen up close”? Something in there has to tickle your fancy.

No commentsBig Week for news!!
Wow this has been quite a big week for tech news, I mean 3G has happend this week, and E3 is coming next week!!
1. iphone and itouch
Well most of you cant get 3g, so alot of you are still on edge, but from what ive seen 3g is gonna be great, so much faster, and the 2.0 is just amazing, its what the itouch and the iphone was missing to get the full user experience! Heh ive spent most of my day trying out apps and so far i am really impressed, Aim works flawless, you can upload your pics to facebook now out of your iphone, twitter is just sweet on it, and there is lot of fun apps, and the majority of the apps are free!! Amazing huh, so yea you itouch users spend the 10 bucks, definatly worth it, also when everyone gets upgraded make sure you get the remote app, amazing! ive never thought that my itouch or iphone could control my computers music library, i can now be in the kitchen and change music in 3 rooms away with my iphone, its just amazing.

No commentsWhy Buy New?
In a place where gas goes up daily and money is getting tight, why do we continue to look foward to buying “New Equipment” instead of buying refurbished, you can save half or more if you buy a used or refurbished peice of equipment, a friend of mine bought a xbox 360 for 100 dollars yesterday, i got one today for 120, we got 2 xboxes for less than the price of a new one, you can get alot more for used, thats all im saying, watch this new video, comment and subscribe!!
