Jesus Had Short Hair!: "I Corinthians 11:14 says, 'Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?' The Greek word for 'shame' in this verse is translated elsewhere in the New Testament as 'dishonor,' 'vile,' 'disgrace.' In Romans 1:26 the same word is translated 'vile', 'For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature.' You will notice that these 'vile affections' have to do with homosexuality. It is very interesting that as the trend toward long hair increases, the acceptance of homosexuality increases. This is not to say that long hair and homosexuality always go together, but it is to note the fact that both are on the rise in our generation. Several of the major denominations have now accepted homosexuals. In some cities there are churches for homosexuals pastored by avowed homosexuals. At least one major denomination has ordained a homosexual preacher and others are considering following suit."

Damned long-haired faggots! Oh, wait, I'm one of them. D'oh. Someone tell Rado and Ragni.

They'll be gaga at the Gogo
When they see me in my toga
In my toga made of blond, brilliantined, biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it
Alelulia I adore it
Alelulia Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me

One Man's Campaign To Rid Radio of Smut Is Finally Paying Off: "Mr. Smith, for one, is listening a lot less than he used to. In March, he became the target of a $3 million harassment suit Mr. Muller filed in Cook County Circuit Court. On his lawyer's advice, he has stopped monitoring Mancow while the case is pending."

So, if you stop your crusade for righteousness because someone sues you, how dedicated are you? You've cost the host $42K in fines already, but you stop as soon as the tables are turned? Hypocrite.

iTunes and Lawsuits: "This is crazy. Online prices should always be much lower than physical CDs. The economics of downloading favor high volume. CDs have to be pressed, warehoused and shipped, but in the online world, you transmit a file to the vendor and just collect money. When a super popular artist like Norah Jones emerges, forget about convincing a hundred thousand people to download it at $13-get a million people to make the mouse-buy for five bucks. It's nice to sell 100,000 Norah Jones albums online at $13, but even better to sell 2 million at five bucks a pop."

They finally start to see that when you remove physical manufacturing and distribution costs, prices should fall.

The recording industry never recognizes this. CDs cost less to produce than LPs did, but cost about double. Online downloads cost virtually nothing to offer, but they're more expensive than CDs. Every time the industry is forced to adopt a new technology (almost always after fighting it every way possible for years), they use it as an excuse to double-up their back end, and stick it to the consumers (also presumably in the back end.)

As an example, www.livephish.com offers CD-quality concert downloads for under $5 per disc, and they sold over a million shows in their first year online. This is the same sentiment echoed in the article -- "This is crazy. Online prices should always be much lower than physical CDs. The economics of downloading favor high volume. CDs have to be pressed, warehoused and shipped, but in the online world, you transmit a file to the vendor and just collect money.

Activist accused of warning drivers: "''Police Checkpoint Ahead,'' read the orange sign, warning drivers along Northwest 17th Avenue that city of Miami police officers were ahead."

As usual, they're wrong. Of the pair, one was charged. Thankfully, there were another dozen standing by to keep the signs up. One arrest, two signs confiscated. Not only is this obvious free speech, but the cops are being idiots, too.
