no cigar

the new jersey nets just might set the worst record in nba history ... at the moment they have eight wins ... the previous record is nine ... there are 82 games in a season and this one is almost over ... they still have 11 games to go ... now obviously not a lot of fans are coming to the home games ... but some of the few that are have adopted a habit of wearing paper bags on their heads ... it's a way of saying we're ashamed to be here ... the other day the nets owner got into a heated exchange with a fan who was wearing a paperbag on his head ... apparently the owner walked over to the fan and asked him why he was wearing it and the guy responded by saying something along the lines of because the nets are such a great team ... the incident received some media attention so the nets pr people thought of a clever way to counter the negative publicity ... they came up with an offer where fans could trade in their paper bags for goodie bags containing nets merchandise at the next home game ... so did it work?

Nets spokesman Barry Baum said two people accepted the exchange offer by halftime.

then again .. maybe those two people were the only ones in attendance ..

alice in wonderland


i thought the movie was based on the book which i loved ... it isn't ... it's like a sequel ... like what if alice went back to wonderland ... i know it's cliche to say movies are never as good as the book but it's true ... especially when you're completely scrapping the plot and only keeping the title ... this movie is awful ... it's a travesty ... obviously they could not come up with a story as good as the original ... not even close ... although they did keep most of the characters ... but it was a mix of characters from alice in wonderland and through the looking glass at the same time ... so in summary i absolutely hated it ... the only good thing about it was the queens ... everything else was shit ... 3/10 ...

or you could just watch the news

Arab television channels are planning to air the controversial Turkish Television show that depicts Israel Defense Force soldiers shooting innocent Palestinians, the French news agency AFP reported on Saturday.
The drama, which includes images of Israeli soldiers shooting a smiling young girl in the chest, steamrolling a tank through a crowded street and lining up a firing squad to shoot at a group of Palestinians, sparked outrage in Israel.
