A Public Service

This may be the most important thing you do all week. As explained in this post, please please please stop Uwe Boll from directing any more movies. The director himself says he’ll stop making movies if one million people tell him he should via of this online petition. Heck, that’s only 1/8th the population of NYC. C’mon! We can do it!
Watch the video, it’s hilarious. (And short.) I like the part about George Clooney. You gotta admit – Uwe’s got a sense of humor.
(If you don’t know who Uwe Boll is, he’s a director with an incredible ego who makes bad movies based on videogames. Many believe he’s the worst director working today.)
Please help. Prevent Donkey Kong: The Movie from ever happening.
Red Light Cameras update: The Rocky Mountain News today reported that Denver is capitulating and is increasing the yellow light times at the four intersections where they plan to install the red light cameras. Sounds like they’re still going to install the cameras, but at least they’re also extending the yellow lights. And there was this:
It also will add pedestrian “countdown” signals at the four locations, which give the seconds remaining until yellow appears. Motorists often use such signals to know when the yellow will start.
I love these countdown walk signals. I think they do more than anything else to cut down on red light running. Lakewood has been adding a lot of them recently and they really help.

I heard about the petition, though I’ve not heard of this Uwe guy per se. How can he be worse than Michael Bay? Or… Coleman Francis?
(standup comedy fans can add Kevin Booth to the list, but that’s more of an inside ref)

I wonder what is was that caused Denver to cave on the yellow lights? Public pressure from the readers of the Rocky Mountain News or pressure from the insurance companies who didn’t want to be paying out for all the rear-end collisions that would happen when the lights turned yellow? (I know I’d slam on my brakes if I thought entering the yellow light meant a ticket.)
