Among other things, Maher linked the Pope to the Nazi and called him the head of "a child-abusing religious ... [read more >>]

Nazis and Holocaust on the DS, Not Accepted in the US
	History is a strange thing – there are people who would like to forget things that happened in the past, or, better said, would like everybody to forget about them. Indeed, some horrible things took place, actually most of the history of the human kind is based on violence and judging on what happens in the world nowadays, it's not something that's going to change too soon. One of the most sensitive pieces of relatively ... [read more >>]

Are You Sure You Want to See Jennifer Love Hewitt Spread Them?
	What do you know! I guess it pays off to be annoying and boring at times, and go into long rants about what it means to be fat and so on. I'm not being mean here – just realistic. Just to make everything clear, I'm talking about Jennifer Love Hewitt, and I'm sure you all know by now about that "scandal" involving her, a couple of bikini shots and some nasty comments made on how she seems to be gaining weight. But t ... [read more >>]

“The Golden Compass” Boycotted Due to Anti-God Themes
	I was half-expecting a stunt like this, and honestly, I'm surprised it happened so late. I mean, it's the end of October already and the movie is set to be launched in December, so I think the Christian groups who began dubbing the upcoming movie "atheist" should have made their move sooner. Now all the noise they're making will only serve as more free publicity for the New Line production – which may after all pro ... [read more >>]

"Controversial" Britney Pictures Drop Hours Before Her Album
	What do you know! Britney's album drops today and, just as a huuuge coincidence, some so-called controversial photos featuring the pop wreck have made their way into the media. And guess what – they feature Britney striking a sexy pose while apparently "confessing" her sins (in a confessional box, of course), and then sitting in a priest's lap while wearing a very short sexy skirt and fishnet stockings. I must say I ... [read more >>]

Wanna Get Down with That?
	In the long history of reality shows, this one, suggestively called 'There's Something About Miriam', was at the time it aired in the UK (in 2004) the only television program to ever take the label 'the cruelest reality show idea yet' and to generate such controversy and suing from both sides (meaning, cast and producers likewise). Because, you see, although the hottie proposed for the big prize was, well, [ADMARK= ... [read more >>]

YouTube Causes Croatian Controversy
	The Croatian authorities are now involved in an interesting dispute after a YouTube clip – showing the country's Interior Minister – was viewed by a considerable number of visitors. The videos are a little bit modified because the official's speeches are presented on James Bond or The Godfather soundtracks. The trouble was started by the Internet Minister, Ivica Kirin, who accused the minority party, the SDP, for upload ... [read more >>]
