Former Heavyweight Champ Mike Tyson is planning a reality show centered off his mess of a life, complete with confessionals and questions from a live studio audience.  According to a friend, quoted in the Las Vegas Sun, “It will be raw.

News Crew Booted From Arizona Captitol: Interesting Video

If you're in TV News, you haven't earned your stripes until you've been thrown out of at least a half dozen places.  This time for this Phoenix news crew it was the Arizona Capitol. Seems a "security" official at the Capitol decided to implement new security policies, but hadn't informed the reporter.  When asked for the written policy, the reporter was informed it was  unwritten.  Once the security person realizes the news crew is videotaping, he really doesn't like it, saying if they used the video, it "would not be so great," and accused the news crew of engaging in hostility, by asking him questions. What? This is why freedom of the press is important, whether you like all the stories, or not.



It's clearly a move by some in the Arizona State Legislature to control the press by intimidation.

Fired ESPN Editor "sorry" for "Chink" Reference Online

 Former ESPN Online Editor Anthony Federico says he was not trying to be cute, or write a pun with his headline "Chink In The Armor" referencing Knick's sensation Jeremy Lin's turnovers leading to his team's 1st loss since he entered the lineup.    According to the New York Daily News, "said the racial slur never crossed his mind - and he was devastated when he realized his mistake." Federico, 28, said he understands why he was axed. "ESPN did what they had to do," he said. Federico called Lin one of his heroes - not just because he's a big Knicks fan, but because he feels a kinship with a fellow "outspoken Christian." For that matter, suspended ESPN TV Anchor, Max who said he is in fact married to an Asian, said in his case, too, the reference was purely coincidental.  "I would never intentionally say anything to disrespect her and that community," Bretos wrote. "Despite intention, phrase was inappropriate in this context."As for Lin, he said he didn't think the reference was intentional, either and even so, he forgave them. This comes as some are accusing ESPN of going to far with the firing and suspension.

ESPN Takes Action on "Chink" Reference On Air & Online

Max Bretos, an anchor suspended, and an online editor fired. That's the action  ESPN has announced following two embarrassingly insensitive references to Knick's new star guard Jeremy Lin.  The Asian-American was referenced to be or have a "Chink in the armor" online and on-air over the past few days on the Worldwide Leader:

Here's the statement from ESPN: 

"At ESPN we are aware of three offensive and inappropriate comments made on ESPN outlets during our coverage of Jeremy Lin.
Saturday we apologized for two references here. We have since learned of a similar reference Friday on ESPN Radio New York. The incidents were separate and different. We have engaged in a thorough review of all three and have taken the following action:

• The ESPN employee responsible for our Mobile headline has been dismissed.
• The ESPNEWS anchor has been suspended for 30 days.
• The radio commentator is not an ESPN employee.

We again apologize, especially to Mr. Lin. His accomplishments are a source of great pride to the Asian-American community, including the Asian-American employees at ESPN. Through self-examination, improved editorial practices and controls, and response to constructive criticism, we will be better in the future."

And there are plenty more where these came from.... and what was Chris Brown's response?

Was Madonna's Super Bowl Performance A Satanic Ritual?

Was Madonna's Super Bowl Performance A Satanic Ritual?  That's the assertion of blog called Consciousness TV.     "As the Half time  started we see Madonna being carried into the arena as a Pagan Goddess.  She was carried by a Roman soldier’s. She entered wearing a gleaming Golden Egyptian Queen/Pagan High Priestess costume with a horned crown.

Later on Madonna change  into a black High Priestess-style robe and reappeared on the stage with a seeming Gospel Choir.

 The entire act was sending a  subliminal message to the world, and that message is the following.  ”Take heart, lovers of pleasure. Our satanic messiah is about to appear with great power to usher in world peace so that everyone (who worships Satan ) can have a good time.

 This Super Bowl had it all. Crown of  Hathor,  Isis, Egyptian symbolism, One eye symbolism, Winger Sun,  Letter “M” all over the place which is the “13″ letter of the alphabet and is also represent the “13 Satanic Bloodlines”  and also stands for “Mason” as a Freemason. The most weird part about her performance is towards the end when Madonna said “Home” and the stage opened up and she fell inside. It looked as if the door’s of the  pit opened up and swallowed her. Seemed weird to me but i had a chill after i realized her home might be  be with  Lucifer."

The blog goes to assert in the game the Giants (symbolizing Satan) beat the Patriots (symbolizing Conservative Americans who want our constitutional liberties upheld). To be fair, there are others who thought it was just a good game, and a bad halftime show.
