Videodrome (1983)

Sleazy lowlife cable TV operator Max Renn discovers a snuff broadcast called “Videodrome.” But it is more than a TV show–it’s an experiment that uses regular TV transmissions to permanently alter the viewer’s perceptions by giving them brain damage. Max is caught in the middle of the forces that created “Videodrome” and the forces that want to control it, his body itself turning into the ultimate weapon to fight this global conspiracy.

Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) Indicted For Being Sleazy

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 01:04:28 GMT

clipped by: merrie
clipper's remarks: And the “Congressional White Caucus” won’t jump to defend Sen. Stevens the way the Congressional Black Caucus did for William
Jefferson.

Why? Because Sen. Stevens’ actions — just like those of Sen. Jefferson — are indefensible.

Oh, and the fact that there isn’t anything as absurdly segregationist and just plain absurd as a Congressional White Caucus.

________

With the possible exception of Rep. John Culberson (R-TX), Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), Sen. Jim Demint (R-SC), and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CN) — I think we should expel every other member of Congress and start over with people of honest and integrity…but more than that, people who don’t think my money is their money. Leaders committed to truly small and limited government.

Sadly, our country is headed in exactly the opposite direction.

Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) is a crook and one of the most corrupt men in all of Congress — and that’s really saying something. It’s unfortunate that the indictment was for violations against the False Statements Act. Which is just the Feds way of NOT bringing real charges for real crimes.

However, keep an eye on what happens with Sen. Stevens in the coming weeks — and you’ll get a clear distinction between how the GOP deals with indicted members vs. how the Donks do so.

Unlike Rep. William “Cold Cash” Jefferson (D-LA), Sen. Stevens will be pressured to resign by his party. Unlike Rep. Jefferson, Sen. Stevens will resign.

Sleazy Massof2shitz Governor Setting Up Gambling Monopoly?

Massachusetts Governor to Criminalize Internet Gambling Even While Pushing for Casinos in Boston

As part of a law intended to bring three new casinos to Massachusetts, Governor Deval Patrick has included a provision to criminalize all Internet gambling, drawing accusations that he is attempting to create a gambling monopoly in the state.

Under the legislation drafted by Patrick, expected to be heard by the state legislature in 2008, the state would grant licenses to three casinos seeking to do business in Massachuset

At the same time, the bill would criminalize any participation in placing or receiving any kind of bet over a telephone, cellular phone, Internet or local wireless connection in the state of Massachusetts. Violators could serve up to two years in prison and pay up to a $25,000 fine.

The seeming contradiction in Patrick's legislation has drawn opposition even from potential allies.

Lawyer: RIAA Gets Sleazy in Disputed Downloading Lawsuit

It's no secret the Recording Industry Association of America has sued more than 20,000 people on accusations of unlawfully sharing copyrighted music on peer-to-peer networks.

The lawsuits are generally the same. Investigators for the RIAA usually go onto Kazaa, take screenshots and download some files of music. The RIAA sues.

But then there's the case of a New York family accused of copyright infringement. The case, defended by Ray Beckerman, an outspoken critic of the RIAA and the publisher of the blog -- Recording Industry v. The People -- was awaiting a decision for about a year from a federal judge on whether the case should be dismissed.

For the moment, it seemed like one of the few defense victories in the RIAA's war on file sharing.

The RIAA did not immediately respond for comment.

Yes, Barack Obama, we’re talking about you. Again. It’s getting mighty crowded under that bus, isn’t it?

Last week, D’Oh-bama announced the appointment of D.C. denizens Jim Johnson and Eric Holder to head his veep search committee

Holder was the Clinton Justice Department official in the middle of the sleazy pardon for fugitive financier Marc Rich.

Johnson accepted more than $7 million in below-market-rate loans from scandal-plagued subprime lender Countrywide Financial Corp. The company’s CEO, Angelo Mozilo, had set up a very special loan program for his high-powered pals. Johnson had named Mozilo to Fannie Mae’s national advisory committee more than a decade ago and they maintained a cozy friendship.

Obama likened Mozilo to a virus in March: “These are the people who are responsible for infecting the economy and helping to create a home foreclosure crisis

Steven Tyler, Aerosmith

Aerosmith
Aerosmith was one of the most popular hard rock bands of the ’70s, setting the style and sound of hard rock and heavy metal for the next two decades with their raunchy, bluesy swagger. The Boston-based quintet found the middle ground between the menace of the Rolling Stones and the campy, sleazy flamboyance of the New York Dolls, developing a lean, dirty riff-oriented boogie that was loose and swinging and as hard as a diamond.

In the meantime, they developed a prototype for power ballads with “Dream On,” a piano ballad that

Pure unadulterated sleaze - the horns on this just ooze with the promise of sin.
Highly sought after for its Beatnik themed flip side which has made it onto several compilations over the years, here at tittyshakers.com it's the lesser known flip side which is the highly coveted side for its outrageously dirty horns and slinky melody. Recorded some time around 1960, if anyone should ask you "what's a tittyshaker?" then this could be the 45 you play them. At the moment this is my number one tittyshaker 45 of all time.

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me.

This sleazy attempt to smear Obama was brilliantly explained the following night by Stephen Colbert. He pointed out that if Obama is supported by Ted Kennedy, who is Catholic, and the Catholic Church is led by a Pope who was in the Hitler Youth, that can mean only one thing: OBAMA LOVES HITLER!

Yes, Senator Clinton, that's how you sounded. Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity. How sad that I would ever have to write those words about you.

You cast your die when you voted to start this bloody war.

How sad for a country that wanted to see the first woman elected to the White House.

An Unlikely History of Beer Pong

Beer Pong Champions of Ages

Beer Pong is an ancient game of warriors practiced throught the old world from the beer pong marshes of Germany to the monolithic kegger pong stadiums of Rome. While fresh beer has remained a central presence in the competition the related paraphernalia has evolved significantly. Early swamp beer pong excavations reveal mumified cow eyes used as pong balls and the hollow skulls of past victories for cups. The Marquis de Sade was known for rollicking sets of bidet pong while the Scottish clansmen known for keeping an extra beer pong ball under their kilts became known as the Three-Nut-Skateers. Modern beer pong championship leagues have largely been relegated to secret undre-sea gymnasiums or sleazy inner city beer pongatoriums but beer pong may still be encountered in the wild in remote areas of New Jersey and Australia.

The Psychological Appeal of Prostitutes

A psychotherapist explains what might go on in the deeper recesses of the minds of men

What is up with politicians screwing up their careers by visiting prostitutes?

How can smart men do such incredibly dumb things?

Does the attraction have something to do with power?

Escape?

Self-sabotage?

The appeal of prostitutes to politicians is, in fact, identical to their appeal to "ordinary" men

On a psychological level, it doesn't matter if the women come from the Emperor's Club or a sleazy strip joint

The appeal of hookers lies in the temporary psychic relief they supply to men struggling with conflicts about guilt and responsibility

the appeal lies in the fact that, after payment is made, the woman is experienced as completely devoted to the man -- to his pleasure, his satisfaction, his care, his happiness

man doesn't have to please a prostitute, doesn't have to make her happy, doesn't have to worry about her emotional needs or demands

He can be entirely selfish

Heidi Montag is a Baywatch Bikini Babe - 03

One of the great things about looking at pictures of swimsuit models, and swimsuit model videos, is that they’re not pornographic. Exciting but tasteful, stimulating but not sleazy. Virtually everyone knows of Sports Illustrated. Their beautiful, professional publication is sold all over the world, and not shamefully tucked away in the adult magazine section.

Now, with the rise of the internet and lightning fast broadband connections, there has been an explosion in the number of online videos, including swimsuit model videos. Video adds a whole new dimension of viewing pleasure with the addition of high quality audio and special effects.

For many young women who aspire to be models, swimsuit modelling adds a whole new field of possibilities, where the height requirements may not be as tough as they are for runway models. Swimsuit models are in high demand for magazine editorials, catalogs, advertisements, swimsuit calendars,

clipper's remarks: Really? Obama got ZERO votes in Harlem?

Clip Source: hotair.com

Black voters are heavily represented in the 94th Election District in Harlem’s 70th Assembly District. Yet according to the unofficial results from the New York Democratic primary last week, not a single vote in the district was cast for Senator Barack Obama.

That anomaly was not unique. In fact, a review by The New York Times of the unofficial results reported on primary night found about 80 election districts among the city’s 6,106 where Mr. Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including cases where he ran a respectable race in a nearby district.

In the Harlem district, for instance, where the primary night returns suggested a 141 to 0 sweep by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, the vote now stands at 261 to 136. In an even more heavily black district in Brooklyn — where the vote on primary night was recorded as 118 to 0 for Mrs. Clinton — she now barely leads, 118 to 116.

Innocent Drinks Cheese Off Contest

We had our annual Cheese Off just before Christmas and it's only now we've recovered sufficiently to talk about it.

the innocent Cheese Club all get together and taste the winning cheeses from the previous year.

1 room, 10 cheeses, 40 judges and a whole lot of wine. Think 12 Angry Men but with fairylights and chutney.

There were lots of strong contenders but it was the Epoisses that finally triumphed as the outright champion for 2007 on the night. So ripe for the fight was Napoleon's favourite cheese, that we had to serve it with a spoon.

Will J described it as tasting 'like a ghost train at the fair. Scary but sleazy.' His other cheese tasting notes included 'car crash cheese', 'light jazz brown' and 'similar to an autumn walk with deer.' Clearly a man who knows his cheese.

Rachel and Gurdeep now take on the reign of Cheese Queen and King for 2008. Unfortunately, Gurdeep was already on royal duties when this photograph was taken.

Microsoft's $528 Mil Tax Break

clipper's remarks: Keep in mind these numbers are all estimates, and that Microsoft is definitely not the only company that does this sort of thing. But I figure that doesn't make it any less sleazy.

When I heard that Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates had invoked the phrase "creative capitalism" at last month's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, it reminded me how Microsoft avoids paying taxes on Washington-made software by selling it through Nevada. Since 1997, I estimate, the company has avoided paying more than $528 million in state taxes while racking up $92 billion in profit and distributing more than $42 billion in dividends to shareholders.

Here's how the practice works: Microsoft's product teams, based mostly in Redmond and Issaquah, build software products such as Windows Vista, Windows Server, SQL Server, and Office. But sales of these products to PC manufacturers and corporate customers are conducted from a License and Operations office in Reno, Nev., where there is no corporate income tax. Microsoft records the revenue for these sales (traditionally about 31 percent of overall revenue) in Nevada and does not pay the Washington business and occupation tax
