The Internet has been buzzing recently with talk of the ongoing format war between HD DVD and Sony’s proprietary Blu-Ray disk. Recent price cuts on HD DVD players have made it seem that Blu-Ray is losing the battle as a high definition video and audio storage medium, but just when you think Sony is on the ropes, they have a habit of pushing back hard with a new round of aggressive advertising campaigns to even the score.
The Format War Heats Up Between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD

Michael Jackson: Out of the Closet
Michael Jackson is out of the closet, so to speak. Well, maybe I should say he is out of hiding. He has given his first public interview in years with Ebony magazine, and it will be released on newsstands this Monday, November 12, 2007. You may be surprised at how laid back Michael Jackson sounds when answering questions based upon his reputation, his success, and his opinions regarding the future of the music industry.
Aqua Dots Recall
In a growing number of recent recalls, the popular toy, Aqua Dots has been added to the list. What is surprising regarding this recall is that the product isn’t food based nor is the recall due to E Coli bacteria. The Aqua Dots recall is due to the fact that if children swallow the beads, a chemical reaction will occur that is equivalent to the date rape drug. Again, the toys were created in China (does anyone think there may be a conspiracy going on), and are the newest addition to a growing number of recalled toys produced in China.
Girl With Eight Limbs Undergoes Surgery
A little girl with eight limbs is undergoing forty hours of surgery. Lakshmi Tatma was born with four arms and four legs. The additional limbs are the result of a conjoined twin that failed to develop. The twin has no head, but does have a torso and limbs. There are nearly thirty surgeons who are undertaking the endeavor and working round the clock to give Lakshmi a chance at a normal life. However, the surgery is not without its risks, nor is it without controversy. You see, many villagers believe that Lakshmi is the reincarnation of the Hindu goddess for whom she was named.

Yesterday, I discussed how Duane Chapman, aka. Dog the Bounty Hunter was caught on tape saying the “n” word in reference to his son’s dating an African American woman.

God Hates Fags
Well, according to the members of the Westboro Baptist Church He does. Amazingly, the citizens didn’t seem to agree. In fact, 10.9 million dollars tells a different story. When Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder died, members of the church protested at his funeral. They were adorned with false humility and signs that read “You’re Going to Hell,” “Not Blessed Just Cursed” “God is Your Enemy” and “God Hates You.” I don’t know what type of Christianity their serving over in Baltimore, but it certainly doesn’t add up with anything I’ve learned over the years.
