The design for the weblog is a tad off in Epiphany. Nevertheless I like your web site. I may need to install a �normal� browser just to enjoy it.

star trek is for smart people so you are the idiot for daring to complain about star trek being shot at your precious college. You should get on your knees and be greatfull.

@MC It’s the school’s source of income, so they can continue financing projects, so stop whining.

The skirts are pretty short, but yeah, they could be shorter :)

I intercepted a post on the Wikipedia talk page about California State being used as a set for the Academy and requested proof so I could get it into Wikipedia using my blog as citation.

Eventually the same photos arrived in my mailbox as are posted at AICN.
My source didnt say anywhere near as much as yours did however and refused to comment when probed.

So, well done guys!

Yup. Good points, 319. It seems that the “SUX” part of it was off by just one letter: The “x” should have been a “v.” With gas prices going up, no wonder Detroit is losing out to car makers with mileage more in mind.

It is a sad but true fact that some of the seemingly ‘absurd’ elements he introduced in RoboCop and other films have become a grim part of reality. Even the reliance on flashy vehicles with terrible gas mileage (in the film it was a 6000SUX with something like 8 or 9 miles to the gallon) has amusingly come to pass, though not quite to the extreme it was depicted.

Speaking of Verhoeven, some of his satirical elements have actually made it to real life. For example, we now have “news breaks” that last just a minute or two on national TV, rather than the longer newscasts of 30 minutes or more that were the norm. (Admittedly, we also have several dedicated news channels.) And the flashy, glitzy style of newstelling these days is pretty reminiscent of the absurdist ones we saw on Robocop.

And now, with news of the development of the Big Dog (posted on this very site) combined with snippets of the military’s increasing reliance on robotic machines… well, maybe Robocop wasn’t so far off.

As to your statement that SST was meant to be satirical: Spot on. I agree. Or, perhaps I should say: “I’ll buy THAT for a dollar!”
