We need more artists & celebrities to immediately focus their attention on the issue at hand…..

Larry Flynt: The Right To Be Left Alone (Documentary)
March 11, 2012
“Larry Flynt: The Right To Be Left Alone” is a sensational portrait of America’s most famous smut peddler and his many First Amendment court battles over the past 30 years. An often polarizing figure, Larry Flynt has long struggled to expand the parameters of free speech and expose the hypocrisy of this country’s elected leaders. He’s spent more time in court than many lawyers and even spent time in jail for his beliefs. When he talks about the meaning of democracy, he’s earned the right to be heard!

Irittable Bowl Syndrone: Bill Maher (Video)
February 1, 2012
I remember watching Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO when he delivered this editorial entitled ‘The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody but Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass’ which I thought was not only funny but on point like a touchdown pass from Tom Brady. In a nutshell, Bill Maher was making the comparison of how the NFL is just like socialism. It’s covered in detail in Bill Maher’s new book of the same name that’s available now on Amazon, itunes, & other outlets. Fraser Davidson, London-based animator, created this video inspired by Bill Maher’s comparison of the economics of pro football and baseball.

The Colbert Report on SOPA (Video)
January 18, 2012
Check out Stephen Colbert’s satiric take on SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) legislation which, in all seriousness, we don’t support here either. We went offline like many other websites around the world to draw attention to the problem with SOPA & the PROTECT IP act. On Tuesday January 24th the U.S. Senate will vote, but you need to make your voices heard to avoid any chance that the PROTECT IP act or SOPA gets ANY chance of passing. The legislation threatens to violate the First Amendment, would censor the internet, and could threaten whistle-blowing and other free speech actions. For more information on PROTECT IP & SOPA & how you can help to make your voice heard, watch the video under the hood or click on the link below…

Former Secretary Of State Condoleeza Rice Says America Will Never Be ‘Race Blind’ (Video)
November 28, 2011
Often times when I hear someone say we live in a colorblind society, a post-racial America, & that they don’t see color I find those comments to be ridiculous. It’s just not true. Of course many of us are Asian, Black, White, Indian, Native American, & come from a variety of ethnicities that you just cannot ignore. It’s a part of who we are, but not all that we are as “people”. It’s this country’s diversity that has made it strong. Condoleeza Rice appeared on a Thanksgiving edition of “Face The Nation” & was asked her opinion of the state of race relations in America & also says that if she had stayed in Birmingham Alabama where she grew up she would most likely have become a schoolteacher.

Yelawolf Talks Occupy Wallstreet (Video)
October 29, 2011
While out on his “Hard White” Tour in preparation for his upcoming album release on Eminem’s Shady Records, Yelawolf spoke on the OccupyWall Street movement that’s engulfing the entire country right now. I wasn’t surprised to hear Yelawolf’s response in this interview as he’s always came off to me as the type of dude who is very much in tune to what’s going on in the world unlike most of that fake crap you see most rappers talk about day in & day out.
