Suppress or express: the net gives everybody a choice

I can live with that, General.

Meanwhile l'm checking out the beefcake and babes (like Miss Gracey who loves Walmart, bootcamp and plucking her eyebrows) at the US Marine Corps’ MySpace home, but passing on the chance to download star-spangled wallpaper.

And I'm trying to navigate online offerings at Blackbox - as broadband downunder permits, hear us Telstra? - the brainchild of Beijing Film Academy’s Chen Liaoyu, also director of smash-hit mobile-made film The Apple, plus an impromptu recording of the Melbourne taxi drivers’ democratic street action on the real-place steps of XMediaLab.

His colleague Zhang Ai Hua’s Lab address on Chinese digital trends included this: “Thanks to new technology, an exciting age is coming where everyone can be a filmmaker … filmmakers have an obligation to cultivate film not just as a transmitter for progressive knowledge, but also as a subversive media for provoking viewers’ thought on social problems and life drama of the marginal group.”

Hit pause - and play that last one again.
