People who collect Star Wars/LA stuff are a crazy bunch.
Nice how the Tallahassee and Greenville newspapers follow almost the exact same story structure. So much for the benefits of "local" news, eh?
After reading the full write-up from ThinkGeek, it sounds like PB's lawyers are just trying to save face after realizing the whole thing was an April Fool's prank.
Actually, that's Al Roker without makeup.
I'd love a chaotic evil one, just for grins.
"Oh, you were looking for pictures of puppies? How about Nell Carter in a thong instead? Booga Booga Booga Booga!"
A gov't database of kiddie porn? No possibility of abuse there at all.

I'd call it Content Liberation.
Maybe he should have said, "a relevant, bad Matthew McConaughey line. . ."
AlrightAlrightAlright.
I find it revealing that every time we hear of someone making a speech like this it always ends with, "and here's what the government can do to solve the problem."
Why the heck isn't anyone in our government showing the same concern the EU and Mexico have shown?
I'd at least expect Al Franken to be freaking out. He's always good for a little of that.
