And 20 million directly would do little to solve those same same systemic problems. I would imagine some of the discretionary funds being put together, aside from the filming incentives, are meant for tourism promotion. I'd say it might be a fairly small investment to give DF a different spin in the US consciousness…

I can't wait to see all that sprawl and inadequate infrastructure on the big screen! Such glamour. They're going to show Condesa-Roma, Santa Fe and Coyoacan and ignore the rest- hey just like everyone else.

Feature the DF skyline? You can't even see the skyline for all the acrid smog.

Well, a similar system of denominations works here in Mexico. If you accept a conversion of 10 pesos to 1 dollar (even though it tends to be more like 15 to 1), the systems would be almost identical. There are 1, 2, 5, and 10 coins with 20, 50, 100, 500 bills. Up the use of 2 dollar bills and 1 dollar coins and it's…

For some reason Mexico still uses yahoo mail- and even more inexplicably hotmail- to a degree where out of all email addresses I have seen, those two services command a strangely large share. In the US, the only person I know with a yahoo account is my mother.

'I looked in his notepad, Gus. It was empty. Page after page of blank paper, then, on the last two sheets, there it was '*fade in on ghost cobbler*'. What does it mean, Gus?'

It's all here in my NOTES, Meldrick!

Smokers are too busy bitching about still being a smoker while lighting up. I should know, I'm a smoker.

And so, where in the past we had no one to save us from the killing fields of the Super Bowl Shuffle, no one to dismantle the crematoriums of cheese metal before they claimed their first victim, no brave soul to stand up and bar the way of bubblegum ice-cream's death march - emerges @StrungOutDeathSquadLeader:disqus…

ehhhhh, stop getting so worked up and take a superficial cue from your avatar- look and be silent.

Oh, but it would be so much richer if Mahr were beatified and canonized. It would be like the ultimate shitting on his mausoleum built from the money garnered from his spastic anti-religiosity flailing.

The thing with this article, at least for me, is that if you've ever heard her on an interview or comedy podcast- you pretty much know the substance and style her answers are going to be here. Not that I'm tired of comedians who are lesbians talking about their sexuality and sex, just getting a bit saturated on only…

Anthropomorphic opioids, the insidious killers on our streets.

Sorry, the correct format was:

YO MAN, WHAT DO HE MEAN BY SUCKAS!? HE TRYIN TO PUT A BLACK EYE ON THE GANG! YEEEEEEEA BOI. *unlistenable track ensues*

Disney female characters, like other short-snouted breeds, have elongated palates. When excited, they are prone to "reverse sneezing" which causes them to quickly (and seemingly laboriously) gasp and snort. The medical name for this is pharyngeal gag reflex and it is caused by fluid or debris getting caught under the…

Franquito! Ven aca, se necesita tu sangre!

I see. It's part of the Clark personae's arrangement with Martha that he switches the tapes out. They both know he does it and Martha does it willingly to help him with his DOJ job, or whatever his cover is, so they probably make the exchange every time he visits, so he would notice the missing purse and it wouldn't…

Somethin off of Sandinista. Washington Bullets?

There are plenty (well probably not plenty anymore) of non denominational Christians that follow a more progressive path. Even just five years ago my university had a nominally religiously affiliated 'center', run by someone who had been to seminary, that housed all of the progressive groups/clubs on campus…
