Obamanation Coronation: Martin Luther King Jr. and Barack Bushbama

Martin Luther King on Vietnam*
from brasschecktv.com: Bushbama is getting his second four years. Bizarrely, there are still people who equate King and Bushbama. This must be some kind of a sick joke. Instead of wasting time on the inauguration, listen to this forty five year old speech that will trump anything said today or the next four years.

#Video: #DjangoUnchained - Good, Bad Or Ugly?

from brasschecktv.com: Lots of debate about this film. Bill O'Reilly hates it. Liberals hate it. So there must be something very good about it. What's good about it? No one can walk away from Django without viscerally understanding that all those fine mansions, fancy ladies, and gracious manners were fronts for concentration camps run by legally-enabled sadists. That's a win given that these places are currently tourist destinations people visit in droves to rhapsodize about the "romantic" Old South. Tarantino has spit in that soup in a way viewers of this movie will never be able to recover from.

Digital Download Sales Top £1 Billion In UK

from independent.co.uk: Digital sales of music, games and films have broken the £1 billion barrier for the first time, according to new figures. Research by the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) shows shoppers spent £1.033 billion - an 11.4% rise - on downloads, with video games accounting for more than half that figure with sales of £552.2 million. Physical sales of CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray and videogames still account for more than three quarters of the entertainment market, but sales fell by 17.6% compared to 2011. ERA director general Kim Bayley said: "Breaching the £1 billion barrier is an incredible achievement for the UK's digital entertainment retailers and reflects their huge investment in new and innovative services which means you can buy music, video and games literally at any time of the day and wherever you are. At the same time I suspect many people will be surprised to learn just how resilient the physical business still is - with three quarters of entertainment sales still on disc. Downloads offer convenience and portability, but people still seem to value the quality and tangibility of a physical product."
