POPSShame on Apple - This is Censorship Plane and Simple I'm very surprised at this action by Apple. I know they want to have approval over what gets added to it's App Store, but banning content because they feel it's too obscene or graphic is absolutely censorship. A company like Apple that prides itself on "thinking different" should absolutely not be deciding what content is and is not appropriate for its users. I can't stand it when corporate America decides it's in the best position to determine what is and is not appropriate for people. If Apple is worried about kids accessing this content, what happened to the role of the parent? It should be a parent's job to determine what content their children access. Apple should not feel it needs to do this. I'm a HUGE Apple fan and am a big proponent and user of its products. However, this action will seriously lead me to reconsider my perspective and stop using and promoting Apple products.

POPS"You Furnish the Pictures and I'll Furnish the War"
Both repeatedly called for armed intervention, then later, all-out war. The atrocities General Weyler committed in Cuba were massively hyped and sensationalized in the US newspapers, then engaged in a practice known as "yellow journalism". The two kingpins of the press at the time were William R. Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, who were embroiled in a vicious circulation war, in which Hearst even "stole" Pulitzer's most popular writers by convincing them to defect through promises of money and positions. Hearst's major publication was the New York Journal and Pulitzer's publication was the New York World. In order to grow their circulations, both men were willing to go so far as to make up stories. The Spanish-American War was not the height of Hearst's power. Afterwards, he continued to grow his media empire for several decades, and even successfully ran for a seat in Congress. Hearst was the rough basis for the wealthy journalist-baron in Orson Welles' Citizen Kane.

POPSHappy 50th anniversary to the Smurfs Hard to believe it; the smurfs are older than I am. They were first developed in Belgium as a comic strip, although they were called "Schtroumpf." The little blue gang first became "smurfs" when they were translated into Dutch. I remember them as little 1.5" figures holding flowers and so on, in the stationery stores in the mid-70's. I must have been early to the Smurf bandwagon, because my friends hadn't heard of them. But a few years later, there they were on Saturday morning TV. Who was your favorite smurf? Wikipedia link

POPSPolitical Correctness - From where does it come?
"just as in classical economic Marxism certain groups ( workers and peasants) are good, and other groups ( the bourgeoisie and capital owners) are evil. In the cultural Marxism of Political Correctness certain groups are good – feminist women, (only feminist women, non-feminist women are deemed not to exist) blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals. These groups are determined to be "victims," and therefore automatically good regardless of what any of them do. Similarly, white males are determined automatically to be evil, thereby becoming the equivalent of the bourgeoisie in economic Marxism." For the classical Marxist, it’s Marxist economics. For the cultural Marxist, it’s deconstruction. Deconstruction essentially takes any text, removes all meaning from it and re-inserts any meaning desired. America today is in the throws of the direst transformation in its history. We are becoming an ideological state, a country with an official state ideology enforced by the power of the state.

POPS US superhero GI Joe gets image makeover While the character has traditionally battled America's neo-Nazi enemies, Cobra, the evil terrorist organisation, will now be an arms-dealing syndicate headed by a Scot. Critics of the project have been following the film's development with growing dismay. Some have suggested that the producers may as well have put a blue United Nations peacekeeper's helmet on its star's crewcut head. Under pressure, Paramount appears to have substituted Brussels for New York, but hasn't otherwise budged from its stance that naked displays of American military muscle will no longer play well at the international box office. The film, which has yet to be cast, is not due to open until 2009. Hasbro, whose GI Joe action figures were the precursor of Britain's Action Man, toned down the figure's army credentials after the Vietnam War but sales soared again amid the patriotic fervour of the first Gulf War.
