A prematurely grey soul singer from Alabama who was once likened to a drunken dad at a wedding triumphed in the American Idol finale, which drew more votes than have ever been cast for a president in a US election.

The MPAA vs. Everyone
So the next time that you ship something through FedEx the MPAA might have DVD sniffing dogs looking at your package. And if they happen to think there is a DVD in your package it could be opened and searched.... hows that for privacy? (Article here.)

Nudity vs. Violence
So the ESRB has changed the rating on Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion because hidden in the source code is a half naked skin for the female characters. This game is set in a fantasy world where you can kill people in an Arena, join a "Dark Brotherhood" where you kill innocents with no questions asked, a thieves guild, and just generally go around killing things. So I guess my question is are we as a society more afraid of a pair of breasts than murder? Any way I'll let you judge. Images are NSFW.

It is also useful to note that you spend 99% of the game staring at the characters back or out of their eyes. There is one screen where you can see the nudity. The one shown above. It also requires a modification downloaded from the internet. Lets face it if a kid has access to the internet he has access to far worse than a pair of breasts... Am I the only one who finds the puritan attitudes in this country completely hypocritical and stupid?
