It's not just me - Avatar isn't that good.

Well The BAFTAs are over and even better is that Avatar only won best Production Design and Best Visual Effects. Apparently the British Academy aren't stupid and realise that just because something is pretty and technologically cutting edge, (and is in essence a white mans guilt fantasy) doesn't make up for a lack of dialogue, originality, acting ability or any semblance of a script. I don't really care for all the award shows stuff all that much but all Avatars nominations annoyed me. It's so over-rated and just so disappointing. The New York Times claims it cost $500m to make and it appears that none of that budget went into the writing. I have no problem with Avatar winning technical awards but if it wins Best Picture in the Oscars I will lose faith in the Hollywood elite forever. Oh wait.. never mind.

Russian Man Jailed for Trying to Make People Happy

As this picture fails to adequately illustrate, last month Moscow came to a standstill when someone hacked the control computer for a 30ft by 20ft screen in the centre of the city, and made it show some hardcore, inter-racial porn.

Clearly this kind hearted soul was simply distressed by the ever-growing levels of racism in his beloved country and wanted to show his countrymen that there need not be hatred between people of different ethnicities, but instead there can be peace, love, and even lust.

The Russian authorities don't see it this way though, and have arrested a 40 year old man who has pleaded guilty to the act.

Come on, Russia, have a heart, the only thing this man is guilty of is bringing a couple of minutes of joy to the lives of poor, downtrodden Muscovites.

Lauren Conrad wrote a book!

Lauren Conrad of 'The Hills' fame has written a novel. No really. No really. Seriously. And it is because of this I will not be reading it.
In other news the movie Precious: Based on the novel "Push" has now been released in paperback book format titled Precious: Based on the novel "Push", but don't worry you can still buy Push: A Novel  upon which the afore mentioned novel Precious: Based on the novel "Push"  which is based on Push: A Novel is based. I also will not be reading either of these as they are written by someone named Sapphire and I do not want to encourage that kind of thing.

Hugo Chavez Might be Insane

As far as the Americans are concerned, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez has a history of saying and doing less-than-wonderful things, and he seems pretty happy with this reputation, because he's been saying more, this time in relation to the Haiti quake.

Chavez apparently thinks that Lex Luthor still runs the Oval Office, because he has accused America of causing the earthquake in Haiti, by testing some sort of "tectonic weapon", and that the US was using aid efforts as an excuse to mount an armed occupation of Haiti "under the guise of the natural disaster."

Chavez couldn't back these claims up with any facts or evidence or whatnot, but President Luthor is a clever man, and has clearly covered his tracks well.

Pay Attention, Supervillains!

Any budding supervillains out there should pay attention to the activities of John Hunter, because you could learn a lot from him.

Mr. Hunter works for a company called Quicklaunch, and has designed a cannon to shoot things into space at 13,000 miles per hour. The cannon is 1100 metres long, and it floats, so that it can be repositioned and re-aimed.

All they need is $500 million to build it.

Don't be fooled by the claims that this is to be used to send supplies to the International Space Station in a far more cost effective way. No, don't you see? He's going to use his Space Cannon to hold the cosmos itself to ransom!

Living in The Future Must be Awesome.

Everyone knows that the Japanese live in the future, and that's why they seem so strange, but brillaint.

Over in Japan, department store Sogo & Seibu organized a special New Year's event,a sale to show off the creations of a company called Kokoro.

What this company makes is robots. Accurate robot duplicates of the buyer, to be exact.

Fucking robots! They sell them, in department stores! They have robot clones of you. On special offer!

In Japan, everyone must be like Superman. They all have these robot duplicates of themselves, to protect their homes and confuse their enemies.
