i always joke with my buddy thats a huge soccer fan that there is a reason why soccer is on tv at 3 or 4 am. cuz when you have insomnia you can just watch a bit of soccer and you will fall right back to sleep

Explain this, out of all those stadiums you posted the most expensive one was the one shown above at 310 million. The new Giants stadium scheduled for use in the upcoming season shown below cost something like 1.6 billion to build. WTF really? Tell me that is not some NYC/NJ corruption going on. I'm sure guido's construction got the contract to make it. How can it cost that much more to make that stadium. Now i'm sure the new football stadiums have a little more to them than your typical soccer stadium as far as lux boxes, and fan amenities, but 3x the price!?!?!???

Not to mention it looks like a giant fucking venetion blind!!
and they had the chance to finally move it to NY and kept it in NJ.

I think the 310 million was the cost of renovation, I think this is the stadium before...

Half way between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth in a place called Knysna (nice-na). We will be hosting the French team at a resort called Pezula (pay-zoo-lah) and the Denmark team at another resort called Simola (sim-oh-lah). Each on opposite sides of town, can't wait to see what fuckery it will cause to traffic.

There will also be lots and lots of this:

Looking at some of those 300 million dollar price tags I think they are exagerated as you multiply that by roughly 7.5 to get local currency.
No fucking way it cost that much to build......oh wait, that probably includes the ministers bribes, new rides and overseas holidays, silly me :D

Hhhmmmm....will def check it out from the dvd rental place. Looks interesting, local film production is stepping up. Some good SA actors. I grew up in Johannesburg, will be interesting to see how they portray the it in the movie.
I have seen the trailer before, never got round to watching it.

I read some of the reviews on IMDB link you supplied. Seems other south africans thought it was good with a real local flavour. Granted it's just one small part of this country where crime may be rampant, but it may also have some truths in it. Will let you know. At least you enjoyed the movie and it was entertaining. Some of the language and humour may have by-passed you tho.

Watched all seasons, and support the Sea Shepherds. Also submit editorial content to our national news channel as shit happens on their missions into Antartica on a freelance basis ( 3-4 months of the year ). Some hectic shit went down this year with the whalers, have to wait for post production to finish before we'll see most of the footage on Animal Planet.

South African volunteers on board two of the vessels this year.

i was watching the show shark water (i think that was the name) the other day and the sea shepherd was on there helping to stop illegal shark hunting. very good show btw

Yeah, they're not only involved in the whaling saga but are active environmentalists campaigning against things such as dolphin slaughter, the movie 'The Cove" comes to mind. They help patrol the Galapogos Islands (spelling sux I know, too lazy to get the correct one). And so on and so on.

Aminals can't speak for themselves. The senseless killing is uncalled for. Oh wait, it's all about money and greedy politicians :D

looking forward to the new season of that show....one of the only TV shows i watch (even if i think most of it is manipulated for their benefit, like Peta does)

Agreed that there is a bit of drama added here and there. Seeing as the whalers refuse observers or camera crews aboard during the whaling season, we may be shocked by what is revealed inside that factory ship.....

[Foetus]

nah, i know factory ships are horrible. i get that. i just dont think the captain was ever shot, and i also find it amusing how they are constantly releasing press releases. i DO, however, agree that if they can stop one big factory ship, then they will be saving lots of whales for a while. i do think, regarding what is going on with pirates, that they should be more careful, or they will likely be blown out of the water.

Thats why they are hesitant to use anything resembling a weapon as such. The ships are clearly identified so they wouldn't be mistaken for Somali pirates (again it's brought on by over fishing of reserves off the Somali coast, so essentially they use violent methods like hijacking to protest).
Re the shooting incident, I also don't believe it. It did bring a lot of attention to the cause though. They say there is no such thing as bad publicity.
