by Rob Long ~ 26|Oct|2008
Let me ask you a question: if someone gave you, say, 50 million dollars today, would you think that's a lot of money? I'm not ashamed to say that personally speaking, I would.

Help or Hinder?
Help or Hinder?
by Darren McLeod ~ 25|Sep|2008
Considering 2008 has already seen the release of Pineapple Express and the second Harold and Kumar film, I pose the following question: are stoner movies helping the pot legalization movement? Ultimately, portrayal of anything in film will have an effect on the public’s perception of that object or substance, and marijuana is no different.

Mongrel Nation
by Simon Britton ~ 27|Jun|2008
Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson, Paul Hogan, Steve Irwin, Errol Flynn, Guy Pearce, Bruce Spence, Heath Ledger, Eric Bana, John Jarrod, Hugh Jackman, Clive James, Germaine Greer, Judy Davis - what a pack of mongrels!
Have you ever wondered why such a small country miles from anywhere at the bottom of the world is so over-represented on the world's media?

It’s the mongrel-factor.

The truth isn't the truth until people believe you, and they can't believe you if they don't know what you're saying, and they can’t know what you've saying if they don't listen to you, and they won't listen to you if you're not interesting, and you won't be interesting until you say things imaginatively, originally, freshly.
