quote: The four students who allegedly put the video on the Internet are facing a $250,000 lawsuit. It claims Raza has suffered "harassment," "ridicule" and "persecution" at school and in the public at large.
Raza ended up leaving high school and finishing his year in the psychiatric wing of a local hospital.
An employee of Raza's old school says the pressure on the young man was intolerable.
"When 500 people laugh at you every noon when you walk into the cafeteria, it can't be easy," says Rafael Jacob.
There is no dark side of the internet really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark...

Maybe, in 15-20 years' time, these years ('93-'03) will be referred to as the Dark Ages of the Internet.
I tried searching ctv.ca for that article, it was harder than I thought. I hope it's not that poor guy who did the Jedi stunt with the staff?

Actually, I was referencing Pink Floyd Just substitute 'Moon' for 'Internet'

I heard stories 'bout him growin' up on Dantooine...stories 'bout how he once sliced up 12 Stormtroopers right after the other cause they was hasslin' a Rodian. Heard he was wanted in 12 systems & had the death penalty in 16 more, that he'd just as soon spill out your innards on a cantina floor as look at ya...& then go back to his Naboo Fizz without missin' a beat or battin' a lash. Said he'd killed more, seen more, & done more in his life than most people in the Empire ever hear about. One story even said he was almost as powerful as the Emperor himself....maybe more so.
We all knew his tales & we all knew his face. But no one knew his name. He was simply...
...the Jedi Kid.

Cue Ennio Morricone soundtrack and dusty blown desert. Ghislain Raza sounds vaguely Lucas.

In my mind, I hear the above monologue doen by a voice that sounds like a combination of Sam Elliott & Lance Le Gault, with a bit of Charles Napier thrown in for good measure.
And this is all starting to sound more than a bit like Trigun.

What is with that show, anyway? "It's the greatest anime ever!" Eh, OK, pal.
It is because I do not like the amusing facial contortions designed to mark the funny periods, I think. Though I have only seen the first two episodes.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Trigun's an aquired taste and certainly NOT the best in anime by any means.
That would be Cowboy Bebop. Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
Of which I am a fan, perhaps because they restrict the wacky facial distortions to Ed, and even then not so much.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
The Big o is quite good as well (if you see it on Adult Swim-it's unedited there). Lots of mystery and things unsaid between characters. And giant city-smashing giant robots with greedy corperate types manipulating psychopaths into killing inncocents and causing billions in collateral damage to the city. Can't forget that.

I thought all anime was.

Simon: Stick with Trigun. My apprentice was big into it and loaned them to me piecemeal. At first I was all, "HUH?" and then I was all "WHA?" and then I was all "WHOA!". No, but for the first several episodes it kind seems silly and 'wacky facial expresions�' and all, but then it kind of changes and it's good, the change. It's not TEH BEST EVAR!!1!, but it's very good.

I'd prefer to be the Indian Chief, but they'd probably make me the Soldier or the Cop. Affirmative action sucks.
I wish I had something cool to teach him like how to swing a lightsaber or some shit, but we can't all be as cool as Ghislain. I'm teaching him to be patent draftsman. It's boring. I realize. I just like saying that I have an apprentice because that's how it works.
Posted by Ultra Magnus (Member # 239) on :
Wizards have apprentices. Maybe you are David Blaine, Street Magician.
Posted by Nim (Member # 205) on :
Yes, now teach him how to levitate his ass in four directions and scare old ladies.
Re: Trigun, it looks nicely done, but that pacifist-streak, "armed to the teeth yet only disarms enemy with shots to his gun hand, making him feel awkward and repentant", it feels too Goody Two Shoes/MacGyver-ish to me. If I needed my TV-shows to teach me restraint I'd buy a damn Columbo DVD Collection.
