First, it is not “Illegal” to download movies. Then it is legal to share music because we pay a tax on each piece of digital media. Now, a television network, who I would not have thought would do it, are distributing one of it’s tv shows via bittorrent.

Could this be the first of it’s kind of a huge broadcasting company realizing the great power of bittorrent and the large amount of people it can reach.

They have decided to release their TV show called “Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister” through bittorrent. CBC has gained much of my respect back for them! Way to go CBC. I hope others will follow suit. Too bad all the other broadcasting companies are more interested in making money off ads to pay their huge salaries, rather than actually make the TV shows for the viewers who actually keep them in business.

He apparently was not in a shark cage which makes it very dangerous and makes you wonder why he was doing this.

The site apparently says that this is standard to provide close encounters with the sharks. I don’t know about you but there is no way I would get anywhere near sharks without a big cage protecting me.

What do you think, would you swim with the sharks without protection?

The amount of passengers sickened by this virus are around 110. The passengers were asked to stay in their cabins and given $100 dollars a day.

I’m sure they were pretty mad but they have to understand that these things can happen and that they were compensated for their confinement to the cabins.

The ship was decontaminated and then sent out on another cruise yesterday.

I hope everyone got better real fast and that this virus is eliminated on the ship completely.

It was a peaceful protest of around 10,000 people, when a couple of morons decided they wanted to riot and break stuff. It is people like this that ruin it for everyone. They would be better off working or being peaceful than going around hurting people and causing chaos. It gains them nothing but bad publicity and usually ends in action being taken against the people they represent and more innocent people get hurt.

I hope they can control this before more people join the dark side and try to riot more.

You need them to be catchy and informative and be able to stick in people’s minds. There are not many companies these days that can provide you with the quality that you need to achieve all of the previously mentioned things in the process of your television commercial production.

Hawthorne Direct provides amazing service all for a reasonable price. With most companies after they produce your ad they will have to find someone else to broker it out and buy air time. With Hawthorne Direct they so all of the creating, producing, brokering, and ad buying for you. It is your one stop place for all your ad/infomercial needs.

Why did we mostly hear about the Republicans. It is almost as though we never heard anything about Romney or McCain until McCain won. It is almost evident that the media is influencing people to only know about the democrats so that the democrats will get in and win the election. They should provide equal coverage and not try to taint the vote.

They are also getting young kids to sign up and register when they don’t even know the views of different groups. They will most likely vote what their friends do or what the media/people tell them to. Everyone is saying vote democrat so that means all these young kids will do it and then ruin the vote and the wrong party will get in which will lower security and not prevent terrorist attacks as well as the republicans do.

What do you think?

If they youth were forced to watch both views that would be way better.

She was attacked by a suicide bomber, and then apparently shot in her car. This is a sad day for the world and for the road to peace in Pakistan.
