      - I'm seeing very postive reviews from a lot of online movie reviewers who love to tear this shit up.... - Remlik Mar 4, 17:09
    - Since when do we need a reason??? -- nm - nubby Mar 4, 17:01 2
      - I just wanted to hear his reasons that's all. -- nm - Remlik Mar 4, 17:05
      - i've been willing to give it the benefit of the doubt despite the awful trailers, b/c it is Andrew Stanton and preview audiences were positive - pixitude Mar 4, 17:04

Americans have short term memories, advertisers will be back soon, Rush's show is in no danger of going under. - ty97 Mar 4, 16:28 44
- In the short term, he's neutered. And nobody thought Glen Beck was going away until he did. - David Mar 4, 16:53 22
  - if he and Clear Channel don't get in front of this, THIS week (like by Wed)...things will go south. but as of right now... - Remlik Mar 4, 17:08
  - I was just about to post exactly this. - Reagen Mar 4, 16:56 12
    - Rush's audience is a multiple of Beck's and his fans are more loyal. - spamlet (iPad) Mar 4, 17:02 7
      - Man, I hope he goes satellite. He'd cut his listener base to pieces. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 17:04 6
        
        But if I was Siruis I'd at least try. - spamlet (iPad) Mar 4, 17:09 4
        
        Is Siruis even viable anymore? - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:12 3
        
        Sirius and XM merged, yes. - Reagen Mar 4, 17:16 2
        
        Hmmmm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:16 1
        
        Not sure, but they are actually making a profit (which I did not realize) and improved their cash position. - ty97 Mar 4, 17:21
        
        Yeah, I think even Howard Stern found out that you may have rabid fans but most won't follow you to pay radio. -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:06
    - (And this is a reddit campaign, too. Those guys are like Anonymous's nicer little brother) -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 17:01
    - Rush's Aud -- nm - spamlet (iPad) Mar 4, 17:00
    - I really do want to re-visit this in one, three, six months and see how his advertising dollars are doing. - ty97 Mar 4, 16:58 1
      - Yup. Listeners will stay and the ad dollars will flow back as soon as everyone moves on. - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 4, 17:26
  - Glenn Beck didn't go away, he change mediums. - ty97 Mar 4, 16:54 7
    - Glenn Beck was shown the door at his network within a year of the March on DC stuff... - Will Hunting Mar 4, 17:09
    - Beck's change of medium made him go away. he is nothing now -- nm - MDH Mar 4, 16:57
    - Then we disagree on the usage of neuter, because Beck is a eunuch at the moment. -- nm - David Mar 4, 16:55 4
      - marginalized -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 4, 16:59
      - like, when's the last time anyone's even bothered to mock him? -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 16:58 2
        
        I miss the Daily Show mockings of him. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 4, 17:02 1
        
        at this point it'd be like kicking a puppy. - Reagen Mar 4, 17:17
- Did anyone think it was? -- nm - mara Mar 4, 16:46 19
  - Some folks have alluded to the possibility, yes -- nm - ty97 Mar 4, 16:49
  - i think NOW wants him gone - pixitude Mar 4, 16:47 17
    - I think they have always wanted him gone. For 20 years he has called them NAG, National Association of Gals. - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 16:49 1
      - Yeah, I don't think they have much pull to Rush's audience. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 4, 17:23
    - A lot of peopl *want* him gone, but anyone who thinks something like this will make him go away is pretty naive. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 16:49 14
      - He is going to take the biggest hit he has taken. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 16:52 3
        
        Lots of his listeners have daughters. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 16:59 2
        
        And agree that unmarried that have sex are sluts. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 17:27 1
        
        unmarried women -- nm - mara Mar 4, 17:28
      - Not only will he keep his audience. In the short term his ratings will go up. Also what he said I am guessing resonates with his listeners and they - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 16:50 8
        
        Assuming all his listeners are identical is a grave oversight. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 16:54 1
        
        Some people listen to him and hate him. They will stay. Some listen and like him. They will stay. - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 16:57
        
        I was under the impression that his ratings have already gone up, but can't fnd that data now so maybe was just confused. Anyway, I don't think he - mara Mar 4, 16:53
        
        he will always say things that resonate with his viewers and get him ratings. the question is how far can he go before the hit isn't worth taking by - pixitude Mar 4, 16:52 4
        
        I think he would have to drop a major racial slur. I mean he talks about race now. But it would have to be that type of suicidal bomb. - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 16:55 3
        
        calling a woman a "slut" and a "prostitute" is right up there -- nm - pixitude Mar 4, 16:57 2
        
        I have used the slut word in reference to actresses that are, well sluts. In his context it's horrible - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:04
        
        Apparently not. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 16:58
      - i mean in a "last straw" kind of way -- nm - pixitude Mar 4, 16:49
- oh I'm sure there are replacements lined up -- nm - Remlik Mar 4, 16:35
Looks like HSX couldn't handle the Lorax adjust :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 4, 16:08 2

Time to bring Imperial rule back to these barbaric Nords. -- nm - Remlik Mar 4, 16:05
Hmm, interesting thought ... does anyone here have camera lenses or accessories they might want to sell? :) - Beryllium Mar 4, 15:28 7
- I would be a buyer not a seller. I still want 3 more lenses -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 15:36 5
  - I enjoyed the 300mm that I used today -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 15:50 4
    - Yeah my best zoom is the 70/300mm with the image stabilizer (a must) I can get away without using a tripod if I have enough light. -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 16:09 3
      - The bird pic today turned out ok without a tripod ... And without IS -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 16:20 2
        
        Was it max zoom? With good light you don't need IS. I took all of my Night Hawaii shots trying to hold the camera as steady as I could. - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 16:44 1
        
        Yes -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 16:48
- I have a whole camera, 35mm minolta Maxxum 5000i I do not use if it is of interest. AF 35-105 lens -- nm - peglegpete Mar 4, 15:33
room 69 *yay vegas* -- nm - budice Mar 4, 15:20
So my dad just can't get past how unrealistic Supernatural is. Not for all the monster stuff, but... - Ender Mar 4, 15:19 1
- Hmm. I got past that quickly so much other stuff going on. They did *try* to explain it - Epiphany Mar 4, 16:53
The toddler found in a field has died :( -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 15:00 3
- Wait, I thought she was unhurt? -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 15:08 2
  - No, she was found in a field "... injured", not uninjured. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 15:12 1
    - Crap. Misread that. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 15:34
The Lorax? More like the Snorelax. -- nm - Qale Mar 4, 14:53 4
- "You can't hold ten Pokemon!" -- nm - Jelly Mar 4, 17:43
- The original is good and on Youtube -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 14:54 2
  - Well, on the plus side the trailer for ParaNorman was jaw droppingly awesome. -- nm - Qale Mar 4, 14:55 1
    - It was. As was Frankenweenie. - JaxSean Mar 4, 15:17
"Chris, I love when you slap me OVER and OVER, HARDER and HARDER until I learn to do what you say." - Will Hunting Mar 4, 14:35 9
- Why would you say such things to Pixie? -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 14:52
- Are we sure this wasn't Rihanna? -- nm - David Mar 4, 14:38 4
  - I'm shocked he's not gay. - Epiphany Mar 4, 14:49 2
    - Little known fact, Zach Quinto wasn't gay till he saw a few of these texts while filming. - Will Hunting Mar 4, 14:49 1
      - Lol! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 4, 15:03
  - ! nm - Dignan Mar 4, 14:43
- I just wanna know what option a was. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 14:37
- I guarantee he wore his Star Trek costume on occasion. nm - Dignan Mar 4, 14:36 1
  - "Call me Jim" -- nm - Remlik Mar 4, 14:37
The Lorax opening to 70+ tells me that the economy is just fine. Oh and Hunger Games is 90+ easy. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 4, 14:35 10
- Everyone is taking this post WAAAAY too seriously. I was just impressed that such a poorly reviewed film could have the biggest opening of the year. - Volnelk Mar 4, 16:33 1
  - Yeah, it beats Avengers, easy. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 16:53
- I thought movie viewing increased in a down economy.....uh-oh! -- nm - ty97 Mar 4, 16:24
- wasn't this the same weekend Alice In Wonderland did 110 million? - pixitude Mar 4, 15:57 1
  - I can forgive the Alice thing....3d, Depp, all that.....this is shocking.... - Will Hunting Mar 4, 16:21
- I don't think it means anything other than people wanted to see it and it was well marketed. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 4, 15:44
- Or that there's a movie actually worth spending money on. -- nm - the liioulu with right around freezing Mar 4, 14:51 1
  - The reviews didn't really point to that. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 4, 15:41
- John Carter is 312.50!!! -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 14:45
- The Lorax opening to 70+ tells me that parents were pent up and now they can wait a bit longer for the next kids movie. - Beryllium Mar 4, 14:44
It's never a bad thing (politically) for a very prominent Republican to alienate 51% of the electorate. - Dignan Mar 4, 14:30 9
- Ah, political season on ST. See ya in November. -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 4, 15:10 1
  - see what you did, Rush Limbaugh?! -- nm - pixitude Mar 4, 15:12
- I don't want to overreact to this yet but if the election campaign exists without Rush Limbaugh telling his dittoheads what to think.... - David Mar 4, 14:37 1
  - Eh, there's still Fox. nm - Dignan Mar 4, 14:45
- I love how right the Obama camp has been about just sitting back and watching the republicans destroy themselves. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 14:33 4
  - Well, they did chime in on Rush. nm - Dignan Mar 4, 14:34 3
    - It's the perfect tiny nudge to keep the wingbat segment of the GOP moving towards the cliff. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 4, 15:31
    - They pretty much had to. Just makes Rush look worse. -- nm - the liioulu with right around freezing Mar 4, 14:50
    - Indded. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 14:37
