Holee cow!!!!

I don’t know if I’ve just scooped the cyberworld, but a gentleman claiming to be Denny Keast just set the record straight on my blog about that idiotic-mail circulating around, and denies having anything to do with it. I’ve just notified Snopes.Com about it and offering anything I have to help them confirm it.

Do I think it’s the real Denny Keast? Yes I do.

For the simple reason that there is no political motivation behind his comments & he’s not endorsing any candidates here. It sounds like the words of a man who honorably served his country, worked with Presidents Johnson and Nixon, and simply wants to clear his name and not be stuck in the middle of the political mudslinging that will only get worse (and possibly violent) as the Presidential race continues.

Frankly I have no dog in this fight, either. No candidates are paying me to blog for them… so I’m not. Truth be told, I have no idea who I’m voting for at this point. People need to leave Mr. Keast alone and stop circulating junk e-mail in his name.

Consider your name cleared, sir, and I am honored you chose my site to do it.

As the final episode of Fullmetal Alchemist plays tonight on Cartoon Network, come join us on Problem Adults to watch the movie: Full Metal Alchemist The Movie - The Conqueror of Shamballa.

Now, why am I doing this?

Personally, I think Full Metal Alchemist is one of the best Anime stories…ever! I was surprised to find out last night that this movie has been out for over a year and I never heard of it.

It wraps up the story and answers all of the questions that were left when the series ended.

So what happens when the most hated man in America shows up for his usual “Happy Anniversary/I got you good!,” videos and spews his usual garbage?

You do the exact opposite of what he says, right?

OK, well what if the crafty douche bag KNOWS this and uses reverse psychology in his messages?

Anyone can be a tough-talking internet badass. Making threats and intimidating people in blog comments and message boards. You see it all the time with the 101st Fighting Keyboarders. All you need is a big mouth, a screenname and some anonymous surfing program. Taking a stand while hiding behind a BIG wall of anonymity?

Big deal… You’re a WUSS!

Now when you put your REAL NAME out there. Your reputation and business on the line? That’s balls!

The big news this week was the thousands of people revolting on Digg over posts regarding the DVD HD encryption code being posted as they removed it and banned the members.

Then, Digg founder Kevin Rose surprised everyone by blogging about it and posting the encryption code!

It’s not about the encryption code anymore. It’s become a symbolic fight against censorship and those companies and corporate bullies we love to hate…

…but with a catch, do you support piracy?

It’s a false dilemma. Choosing the lesser of two evils when you have a 3rd hidden option.

I support people trying to protect their intellectual property. I also oppose some of the ridiculous laws and corporate bullying going on by the AACS, RIAA, MPAA and any other DRM group. A lot more than I oppose piracy, but not enough to condone one evil over another.

So I present you another false dilemma:
You’re in a street fight. You opponent is way bigger than you. What do you do?

a) Don’t back down and get your ass kicked.
b) Run away and look like a wuss in front of everyone.

BZZT! BOTH WRONG! The answer is….
c) You hire an even BIGGER MOTHERFUCKER to take down your opponent.
(Do I have to do ALL the thinking for you?)

The Tiki Lounge has a great discussion about it, as well as Problem Adults. If you support Digg and Kevin Rose and the stand they’re taking, rather than stand there chanting “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, you can help him by keeping this issue in the spotlight and by supporting the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

They’re bigger. They’re badder and they take on these kinds of censorship cases all the time. Join the EFF and give till it hurts.
