Similar incident in Australia, which was also censored:

I was on holiday in the US and played the PS2 at the Sony Metreon in San Francisco. I remember my jaw dropping at the graphics in Madden. But they couldn’t sell you one because there were shortages. So the day I got home to Australia, I went and bought a PS2 (and they were readily available) along with Madden, SSX and …

Thought I’d post what I pay in Australia (where we have what you’d call socialised medicine) for comparison.

Aw crap. This guy is already the most successful Aussie in the NFL who isn’t a punter. He had a great season last year and I really wanted to see how good he could be. Then this. I hope it isn’t true but if it is I’m massively disappointed.

We need him to replace that one guy who can’t resist mouthing off at the ref every second week and getting ejected. Which really sucks when we only had five players to begin with. Thanks a lot Dave, now we have to run more.

Also if he could try fast breaks every few plays, so the rest of us can sit back in the…

The DVD and Bluray are already available from Amazon UK. I ordered one and it should arrive in Australia before the movie arrives in cinemas here (end of March).

You’ve got to love watching Perry Baker, he’s been around for a few years but the past year or two he’s gone to another level. He’s just unstoppable, particularly in the second half when guys get tired. Also I think the rest of the US team has realised their main job is to get the ball to Perry and then watch him…

I was once camping in outback Australia and an emu walked through our campsite followed by a line of four emu chicks. They all walk in a line like ducks. I thought that was awesome.

Regular baby-eating dingoes we can handle. It’s those semi-automatic dingoes that are the problem. They can take like 20 babies a second.

As always, there’s a mad search for anything to blame except access to semi-automatic weapons. Australian kids play the exact same video games and watch the exact same TV shows and movies as American kids, but they can’t easily get hold of an AR-15.

God, Zack, your negativity towards this show is unrelenting. The idea that you are keeping an open mind for season 2 is laughable.

So what do you do with a giant wooden stadium the rest of the year?

English comedian James Acaster has a bit about how he went to Pisa and set up a photo of him appearing to lean against one of the tourists who was appearing to lean against the tower.

It’s an interesting question. In Aussie Rules, a few years ago the league capped the number of substitutions per game in an attempt to reduce injuries, and the statistics say it has worked. The logic is that fatigued players run slower and therefore collisions are slower and happen with less force. So you get a…

Please never call Liverpool the ‘Pool Boys again.

Yep, I’ll defend Enterprise on those episodes at least - “In a Mirror Darkly” was probably the most entertaining mirror universe story in any series. Actually the whole last season of Enterprise was pretty strong. Knowing your show is cancelled is clearly liberating.

I don’t think this is victim blaming; it is a separate issue.

Assuming his allegations are true, as a victim, I hope he gets justice, I hope he gets compensation. I wouldn’t begrudge him making his story into a movie or selling his story for big money.

Argh. We’re all primed to believe just about anything about Hollywood at the moment - so much so that even allegations from someone like Corey Feldman might be taken seriously. And then he asks for $10m?

He could name names in a tweet for free. That’s what any number of actresses and actors have done. They bravely…
