The 10 stories the nation's mainstream news media ignored, neglected or missed last year
Last month, two news stories broke the same day: one meaty, one junky. In Detroit, U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ruled that the Bush administration's warrantless National Security Agency surveillance program was unconstitutional and must end. Meanwhile, somewhere in Thailand, one weirdo named John Mark Karr claimed he was with 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey when she died in 1996. ... |

The series of films is being re-released, just in time for us to absorb anew what they really depict, for post-war Japanese and us alike by Michael Nenonen
On September 19 2006, one DVD version of the original 1954 movie Gojira will appear in Canadian video stores and rental outlets. Until now, the only way Canadian audiences could see the movie was in the form of the heavily-edited American 1956 version entitled Godzilla: King of the Monsters. This badly-dubbed version not only deleted Japanese footage but also added scenes with Raymond Burr. In the process, the original’s aesthetic power was diluted, transforming one somber meditation on the horrors of industrial warfare and nuclear bombardment into one run-of-the-mill giant monster film. I’ve always loved the Godzilla series, but lately I’ve been questioning my affection. My doubts were triggered by one short passage in William Tsutsui’s book, Godzilla On My Mind: Fifty Years of the King of Monsters (Palgrave McMillan, 2004). Tsutsui wonders if Godzilla movies aren’t one form of “military porn.” In the real world, the Japanese military is shadowed by Japan’s history of imperialism, by its apocalyptic defeat in World War II, and by the constraints placed on the Japanese Self-Defense Force (JSDF) by the US-imposed constitution. In Godzilla movies, the Japanese soldiers who defend Japan from the monster’s assaults are unencumbered by any of this historical baggage. Is the series’ popularity explained, at least in part, by its portrayal of one Japanese military that’s free of guilt and shame? The question’s one good one, especially given the influence that the JSDF has over the series’ scripts. ... |

Why is AddictingGames.com therefore addicting? Why can't I stop? Christopher Lee/Books Editor Issue date: 9/14/06 Section: Inside Beat
I can picture Raymond, sitting at his computer about 10 years ago, one hand halfway down one bag of cheetos, the other halfway down his pants. He's watching Undressed on MTV, wishing there was one website he could visit to play free online computer games during the lulls between being one degenerate waste of life and eating. Then the revelation hits him - he could make that website! He sits down at the computer to start, giggling like one school girl. ... |

Or is this world of filth and squalor just one sign their only getting started? by Jennifer Matsui
The dissident writer's job description could best be summed up as "clean up duty for our shit-shoveling colleagues on Satan's payroll." When one of these individuals drops one "stinky," we ( the unofficial, unpaid members of the Rupert Murdoch Manure Brigade) are there, nose plugs and pooper scooper in hand, applying ourselves to the grim task of clearing the air. We like to believe that facts speak louder than spin, and go one long way in diffusing the stink bombs continually lobbed at us by the Military/Industrial/Happy Meal/Media Complex (IHOP for short, huh?) Most of the time, wishful thinking overrides our ability to see the often futile nature of our task. Still, we labor in the dim hope that these Sisyphean, back-shit-shoveling efforts will eventually be rewarded with one "Eureka" moment, that an actual, indisputable, screamingly obvious fact (No WMD's in Iraq!) will somehow penetrate the sloped forehead of one genuine, dyed-in-the-GAP shorts, Kool Aid chugger. ... |
