St. Louis police mistakenly released a man charged with vehicular manslaughter after he switched clothes and ID bracelets with a nephew in custody on an unrelated charge. When police decided not to charge the nephew, they released the uncle instead. Police are still searching for the escapee, who was arrested after the stolen car he was driving ran a stop sign and slammed into another car, killing three women. The man also told some very interesting stories about a barbershop quartet in Skokie and his friend Mr. Kobayashi.

One of our fans speaks out:

In this letter, I plan to discuss SpittingLlamas’s insufferable, flippant op-ed pieces quite extensively. Note that the details aren’t pleasant. In fact, they’re shocking. But I think that people who don’t know what SpittingLlamas is up to honestly need to be shocked. For practical reasons, I have to confine my discussion to areas that have received insufficient public attention or in which I have something new to say. I find that I am embarrassed. Embarrassed that some people just don’t realize that this theme is stated in one form or another in every one of Man’s great religions. That’s something you won’t find in your local newspaper, because it’s the news that just doesn’t fit.

I must ask that SpittingLlamas’s cult followers address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by SpittingLlamas because they saw no other options for change. I know they’ll never do that, so here’s an alternate proposal: They should, at the very least, back off and quit trying to exploit other cultures for self-entertainment. SpittingLlamas refuses to come to terms with reality. It prefers instead to live in a fantasy world of rationalization and hallucination. Speaking of what I call hateful morons, I don’t need to tell you that SpittingLlamas bases its perorations on the belief that space aliens are out to lay eggs in our innards or ooze their alien hell-slime all over us. That should be self-evident. What is less evident is that it intends to create a new social class. Lousy ideologues, improvident hoodlums, and dodgy, truculent boeotians will be given aristocratic status. The rest of us will be forced into serving as their cat’s-paws. What SpittingLlamas is incapable of seeing is that voyeurism is not merely an attack on our moral fiber. It is also a politically motivated attack on knowledge.

You may be wondering why abysmal exhibitionists latch onto SpittingLlamas’s screeds. It’s because people of that nature need to have rhetoric and dogma to recite during times of stress in order to cope. That’s also why I try never to argue with SpittingLlamas, because it’s clear it’s not susceptible to reason. Irreligionism is the leitmotif of SpittingLlamas’s accusations. Sad, but true. And it’ll only get worse if SpittingLlamas finds a way to incite racial hatred. Sorry for babbling so much, but we ought to teach SpittingLlamas a lesson.

Actually, it’s not a real complaint, but one from the Automatic Complaint Generator. I know I’m going to use it extensively because I’m lazy like that.

AMC Entertainment, the theater chain that brought the megaplex concept from Europe, is trying going to one-up everyone with the monthly movie pass. For around $20 a month, you can see as many movies as you like. Movie studio’s are upset, saying it’ll cut into their revenue, and if that’s the case they will start withholding movies.

Of course the big news is the Raul Garza. No, he doesn’t play for the Yankee’s, he was executed last night on the same table that Timothy McVeigh was executed on. He had ordered the death of three other drug dealers in order to gain better market share. We should have thanked him really, not killed him. I guess it’s not ok to kill for market share… unless your microsoft who is allowed to do anything they want for market share.

I am really glad that Flash has become a tool for social change. It’s really nice to see technology being used to expand people’s minds to the evils of our greed-driven society. Then again, I’d rather see some Flash porn.
