Newest South Park goes too far?

The most recent episode, entitled "The China Probrem", focused on 2 semi-recent cultural discussions.
China taking over USA, and a throwback to the latest Indiana Jones movie.

There has been quite a bit of public outcry (even on South Parks own site) about the "rape" scenes, in which George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg are shown physically raping Indiana Jones multiple times.
I've seen the episode, and I have to admit it was a bit unsettling.

Occasionally the episode was broken up with jokes about "shooting people in the dick" (IT'S NEVER COOL!), and the sub-plot about Cartman and Butters stopping the chinese invasion.
So the final thought ends up along the lines of:
"Cartoon Rape, funny? Insensitive? Or just flat out disgusting?"

You be the judge.

Piano Black PSP and Blu-Ray PSP Revisited

It was one of the most talked about technology upgrades at the Computer Entertainment Expo this year, and more people are asking questions about how this will affect next years version of the PSP.

Wait, what?
Yea, that only makes perfect sense right? Or does it?

I knew that would grab your attention, but this post isn't about that interesting little tidbit only.
It's also about the new "Piano Black" model you'll see in stores soon enough.
New analog stick, brighter display, less reflectivity, and a sleeker color scheme are the blueprints to success that Sony hopes will pull more attention from those "cutesy" Nintendo DS' you see all over the place.

Can it prevail?
I say they just release a PSP version of GTA IV, and they'll be set.
Just kidding.

This is exactly what happened, so just imagine this situation if you will.
"Using a PlayStation 3 and a PSP, Sony showed how a Blu-ray movie disc could be inserted into the former and copied to a memory stick for the latter."
If that doesn't have you panting as a PSP owner, then nothing will, but how "Hi Res (Definition?) would it actually be?
The world may never know, but it's more likely that they will by the end of the PSP lifeline.

IPhone 3G - The "G" is for Garbage?




Massive amounts of complaints have been flooding in about the latest release of the IPhone (3G).

Seems they changed a few key things that have really angered some people, even to the point of quitting AT&T.
Some of the things we've recieved from the field are the following:

- needs landscape text messaging

- PICTURE MESSAGING. NO, I dont want to have to log into viewmymessage.com just to see a picture msg someone sends me. Make it easier like I can just click on a simple link and it will bring me to the pic w/o having to login. that is SO annoying. and the pic is only like 1x1 big. Please allow MMS!! Stop being stupid ATT.

- battery life. ;X needs to last longer per charge.

- No flash support. Tons of websites dont work or load because of this. Also tons of mobile user browsing traffic is being lost here because of this.

- Deletion of text messages. NO i dont want to delete each one individually. add a mass delete all function.

These are just a list of complaints made over at Digital Gangster, if you have anything to add to this list, feel free to post in the forums.
