Who starred in that?

Legal question:

here's today's sick fuck-

http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/...17/detail.html
  • Beechview Man Admits To Drugged-Up Sex Pics


    PITTSBURGH -- A man pleaded guilty to charges he drugged and sexually assaulted seven women and photographed and videotaped the attacks.

    Donald Preik, 48, of Pittsburgh's Beechview section, admitted on Monday that he sexually assaulted his former live-in girlfriend, her mother, four of their relatives and an unrelated woman.

    Prosecutors said Preik stole sleeping pills and other drugs from the pharmacy he once managed and slipped the drugs into his victims' drinks.

    The women didn't know they were assaulted until one of them found a photo album containing pictures of the assaults, prosecutors said. One of the assaults was videotaped, they said.

but here's the legal question-
  • Preik pleaded guilty to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, drug possession and invasion of privacy. He faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison because one of the victims was older than 60.

There's a law about mandatory time for assulting people over 60? That is, over 60 is considered worse than under 60 (and over 16 of course). I never heard of that, but in a way its kind of insulting to older women, isn't it?

Is it a brittle bone thing, or a sicko thing?

I hated it the first time, but came to appreciate it after about 4 viewings. Will says some funny shit, and Brick...well "Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?"

It's stupid, but it's supposed to be stupid.

It amused me.

"you pooped in the fridge and ate an entire wheel of cheese?" I'm not even angry. That's just amazing!"

"which of course in german means a whale's vagina"

It's possibly the stupidest movie ever made.

I never liked Carell all that much on the Daily Show, but he’s been hysterical in movies and in the Office (yes, I’m aware how much better the British version is... and I don’t care... tell it to someone who fancies himself a cultural expatriate).

I liked Anchorman the first and second times I watched it. For some reason, people got together and decided to hate it. Probably a quirk of timing (too many Ferrell vehicles in release at the time). Or maybe people were accustomed to sheer brilliance from that crew of stars (Old School). I don’t know.... but I liked Anchorman.

I enjoyed it. Particularly the rival news gang stuff. But then, I don't derive my moniker from a literary work, so mileage must vary.

Not exactly a competition. The results weren’t similar to a Coke/Pepsi taste off. 5 out of 5 blind testers preferred the brittle.

All vomited.

Gravity's Rainbow is one of the very few books that I put down before getting 50 pages into it. That list only contains about 5 books, with the The Brothers Karamazov at the top.

I had the idea of a company where harried professionals will pay me $2-3000 a week for a vacation of low pressure work. I'd run a McDonald's and I have college trained workers. All good.

Someone stole my idea, but is using actual attractive jobs. Some of the jobs they offer actually sound like something I'd like to do.

Ass't baker? Brewmaster? cool.

A bunch of friends of mine and I spent a few lazy hours by the bar coming up with jobs to try for a weekend that you'd never want to do full time.

Out of that conversation came the best idea for a company ever: Revenge Consultants, Inc.

I’d have flushed Atlas Shrugged down my toilet, but the goddamned thing is thicker than most Bibles (combined New and Old Testament).

I haven’t read Gravity’s Rainbow, but it sounds Vonnegutesque, so I might. I love Vonnegut. Perfect for those with short attention spans who want constant interesting asides.

If it was Vonnegutesque, I would have read it in one sitting. I've read every Vonnegut book at least twice.

Muzak version of Afternoon Delight, with helpful lyrics sheet.

I'd like to be a professional dick. I’d like to be hired out as a date for people who are invited to social events involving or thrown by people they don’t really like. Say the asshole partner down the hall has a party to show off the landscaping/pool his vapid Social Xray kept wife has just put in the backyard. You bring me. I condescendingly insult anyone you tell me to in whatever fashion/on whatever subject you choose to have me do it. You pretend afterward to be appalled and tell your co-workers that you dumped me. The genius is that you will have succeeded in indirectly making every snide comment you ever wanted to make to every asshole you work with or around, with minimal, if any, reprecussions.

I'm just going by official post count. I believe this will be 199,995. It is right by the name of the newest member on the page that lists all the boards.

I could probably get this into production as a sitcom/reality show, but for two problems. 1, how do you film it? 2, my friends in the film/television industry say all my proposals “tend to alienate the audience.”

Congrats!


ETA: Based on the post numbers that come up when linking to a post, Hank got it. RT was the post after Hank's. (But I note that the official 200,000 Hank post is called post 200,950 b/c of the disappearing Politics board fiasco and any meglomaniacal deletions that may or may not have occurred.)

As to the second problem, I will bow to the greater knowledge of those in the biz, but I don't understand the first objection, so long as it's a sitcom. If you were to do some background information-gathering legwork (i.e., hire yourself out -- without filming -- and see what the reactions and fallout are), you would have all the material you need.

It writes itself!

That the 200,000th post is about Taffy Danoff of the Starland Vocal Band is a travesty. Or somehow really really appropriate.

Appropriate, I think. Say if it had been a deep and introspective analysis of modern mores, I believe I would now go edit to make it dumb.

Was Taffy your secretary, and how have the looks held up? She was cute on the album cover. Actually I'm not sure which is Taffy but they're both cute.
