Oh ffs, that's pissed me right off, there should be a 50 year limit before you can even think about a remake, and some films don't even date badly. Elizabeth Shue was the love interest in KK, amazing. Yeah I feel real old right now

How about just doing something original instead of trying to remake the original. Maybe in fifty years, a remake would make sense, but this is silly. As much as I like Jackie Chan; FAIL.

@Pico interesting post, although the writer deliberately omits the fact that Hamas doesn't recognize Israel's right for existence (only indirectly), so whom are they going to talk with. May I offer this one to read: http://bit.ly/Jhgk

@Nir Ben agree.. The Superior must do what it has to do.. but leave the hating elsewhere, don't let be any support for hate... I'm sick of all those flaming demonstrations especially in my country, Indonesia.

@Pico I here you. Just wondering if we ever going to reach long lasting peace in this world or the religious fanatics will drag us into more battles.

Huh? Did you watch the video? Sure, he mis-timed the catch, and the bra dropped onto the stage, but I don't see any 'freaking out' going on. He just waves it off and carries on with the show.

John is your real name Joe? He totally dropped that bra like it had cooties

Reminds me of some of the later pictures of Brigitte Bardot.
- Ontario Emperor
"Actress Brigitte Bardot offers an example of the long-term effects sun exposure. This saucy French actress starred in many films in the 1960's. The photo on the right from the mid-1980's shows the wrinkling from sun exposure that many mistakenly assume is a natural part of aging." http://www.skinema.com/Act6Sun...

Yeah, I am going to throw up. They took their unhealthy crap to Romania and fed it to farmers in the countryside. BK, KEEP YOUR CRAP HERE IN THE STATES. You and McDonald's have gotten enough people sick on your BS food. Stay the heck out of Romania.

Jason, yes. Better still: I'm not 100% sure (hence it's not in the post)but I think there's a TV campaign to go with it as well. PR gone bad.

There is a TV campaign... just saw a commercial today on CBS while watching a game. Bleah.

forgot to add: it's on the same IP address as owned I presume by the PR company, but I can't confirm the name, only that it shares the IP with official sites for Bayer and Florida area Audi dealers

i could get behind this, if they'd helicopter in some whoppers to refugee camps and places where people were starving to death.

Honestly, did not find this 'offensive' at all..borderline may be. Nothing that a little tolerance and open discussion cannot solve. If this were packaged as art would there be so much discussion?
- Mahesh CR
Mahesh, what's not offensive about flying into somewhere in the third world and asking people who struggle to feed their family to pick which tastes better: a whopper or a Big Mac.
- Duncan Riley
Wow, great marketing BK, lets ruin the diets of the last remaining people on earth that have not had their eating habits corrupted by western processed food, loaded with hollow carbohydrates, saturated fat and salt.

Exactly, Jeff. Would it be as cool if we were hunting down "crack virgins" and teaching them the ways of the crazy-pipe?

This is brilliant and offensive at the same time. I can only imagine sitting in on all the meetings that led up to this. Someone needs to track down the PPT ASAP.
- Josh
Duncan, as I said, it can be considered borderline offensive. we conversations like these around McDonalds coming into India. I like to distinguish between the product and the communication around it. I concur with most comments about BK being route to unhealthy eating practices. The communication I take with a pinch of salt. As always the ability to choose or not gives us control over...

The terminology is a "double entendre"; some suits idea of a clever enrollment strategy, & oh so "cute". This "National Geo" imagery of costumed innocence (virgins). NOT a mention the health aspects of all the associated "foods" hawked by this gargantuan chain most are not worthy of being Proud of or INFECTING yet another culture with.

I'm worried. Very worried. Lois already has her Christmas Tree up, all the presents bought and wrapped. Still, leaves plenty of time for well, err, the ball game and that other stuff.
- Andy C
George Michael said the very same thing apparently.
- Andy C
wow. she's married with three kids. that's just sad.
- Jim in Real Time
hmm. do you think that the fact she is a woman attracts more venomous comments than if we heard from the man?
- sofiagk
Sofia... you're probably right. We're not seeing the man's picture on the web yet. Of course, he's probably bragging about it. I'm thinking not only about her but also her husband and children. In fact, I need to stop thinking about it; it's too depressing.
- Jim in Real Time
@Sofia, YES. There's still quite the sexual double standard, alive and kicking.
- Ladybug Heather
It just makes me think: even if she remembered, would she admit it? Knowing the venom and spite it would attract? I don't condone it but maybe that's why many people feel they need alcohol as an excuse.
- sofiagk
She has admitted it publicly and Inquisitr's earlier piece on the incident (which I just read) says that she and her impromptu partner were released to their respective significant others, so there was no weasling out it for either one. The guy however, wasn't married and didn't have a family.
- Jim in Real Time
I mean "admitting that she remembers or can take responsibility for her actions".
- sofiagk
Are you even allowed to fire someone for their private sex life, even if it gets aired publicly? She's a grown up adult and it should just be between her and her partner. People can be quite the hypocrites.
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I don't mind the pics and the publicity. I mind the *nudge nudge wink wink* type blogging and commenting on her. On her and not the story.
- sofiagk
You can do everything for some page views :-( very sad
- Luca Conti
totally agree with you on that. Your earlier remark made me notice the absence of the guy's picture as well as the fact that there were no "nudge, nudge" comments about him.
- Jim in Real Time
The guy's picture is missing only because they couldn't get it yet. No need to worry, they will publish it as soon as they can put their hands on it.
- Amit Morson
I hope you're right Amit, but I'm not so sure.
- Jim in Real Time
Let's see how it goes. I'm not accusing anyone. I just thought it's interesting how adult women can still be looked down upon while adult men tend to be viewed as players.
- sofiagk
I agree with Sofia - it either should be ok for women to do things like this and be viewed as players, yes, but not as whores. OR it should not be ok for men. But in a society still very patriarcal in its roots, control of women and their sexuality is a crucial thing, and makes all the difference in the attitudes.
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I don't think the guy's picture will show there for balance, merely to get more page views as said before.
- Amit Morson
Yeah - we need to hear from Ross Walsh. What was the final score and how much of the 2nd half did he actually miss ? For Pete's sake, lighten up. More than 100 people have just been killed in India.
- Andy C
Joelle, I believe people don't view her as whore, just as a very irresponsible (and maybe not very bright) woman. Not because she's a woman, but because she's married with 3 children. The guy is single and that's the only difference, in my point of view. I know some people do not think the same, I pity them.
- Amit Morson
That's a fair point and a very reasonable point of view. But I still think the attitude would be different if it was a married man with 3 children going with a single woman at a football game. People would find it sad, but in a different way. It would not make the news.
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
He wasn't single. He had a girlfriend. Or doesn't that count ?
- Andy C
They're making fun of her because she's married with three children and was with her husband at the stadium. It has nothing to do with her being a woman. If you want to believe otherwise, that's your problem.
- Alejandro
Truly mind boggling. I couldn't imagine going to a football game and my wife getting so drunk she has sex with some other guy. Regardless of our 2 kids at home. There really is no defending her or the guy.
- Kevin Whalen
"There really is no defending her or the guy". Exactly.
- sofiagk
Ok Posts have been updated for the Ross Walsh newly uncovered pics and his Myspace page which he made public. Amit Morson, please feel free not to look. Everyone else have a giggle.
