Hardy Vision: At the movies, not everyone's a critic anymore

Sunday night marks the 80th Academy Awards ceremony. Though if the Oscars were as cool as the Super Bowl, they would use Roman numerals and call it Academy Awards LXXX.

The Oscars have more in common with the BCS. It's all a popularity contest, and you get voted in by people who may or may not know a damn thing about what's going on. And just as some jerks will complain that an undefeated Hawaii team should have a shot at the national title, you'll have yahoos complaining that Kevin James was snubbed for his understated subtlety in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.

Moon Hoax idiots (come get sonned morons)

The thing is that i laugh at, you believe this evidence. But when it comes to 9/11 theres an overwhelming amount of evidence(like this) that things other than a plane took the buildings down, and you still believe it was a plane on its own.

How two brutal killers fuelled the DNA debate

Dixie's DNA was similarly entered into the database for a relatively trivial and unconnected offence. He might have got away with stabbing Sally Anne, and then raping and biting her as she lay dying, had he not been involved in a pub brawl during a World Cup football match nine months after attacking her. It was then that his DNA sample was taken as a matter of routine. Within five hours Dixie was in custody for the killing.

Even so, civil liberties groups were yesterday adamant that only the DNA of sexual or violent offenders should be entered into the database. Britain, they claim, is heading for a universal forensic database introduced by stealth.
