Most Controversial Movies of All Time: 10 Films That Truly Shocked Audiences {Moviefone Blog}
Dec 4th 2010 7:31AM It seems ridiculous that these so-called "controversial" films should make any money. But, I'm reminded of psychics and side-shows to which people have, for a long time, turned in hopes of seeing something "meaningful", hidden, prohibited or somehow limited to the understanding of a specially informed elite.
The freakshow hucksters of today are the self-serving film makers who are creating controversy primarily to line their own pockets with ill-gotten gain enticed from audiences with less sense than money who are willing to surrender their time for trash.

Are Tea Partiers Gaming the Vote for Bristol Palin on 'Dancing With the Stars'? {AOL TV}
Nov 18th 2010 8:16AM DWTS chose not to be strictly a dancing competition.
The show wanted a more interactive program as a means of better selling the concept. It is, by design, a popularity contest based upon the skills, but also upon the likability of the contestants. The show wants viewers to have favorites and root for them. That makes for more loyal viewers for the advertisers and translates to more dollars for sponsors and producers alike. Some of the dancers are simply not connecting with the audience as well as others. Also, remember there are late night talk show hosts and self-proclaimed pundits who are freely voicing their bitter disdain on a nightly basis for anyone Palin. Does anyone still remember David Letterman's nasty comments re: Bristol's younger sister? Or his nightly tirades against Sarah Palin? Letterman, Leno, Conan, Kimmel and Fallon are all taking their shots. What's amazing to me is that some are claiming an "unfair" advantage for Bristol Palin. In the words of SNL's fair and balanced Weekend Update news satire, "Really?"
Internet Finds Time Traveler With Cell Phone in 1928 Charlie Chaplin Film {Urlesque}
Nov 3rd 2010 6:29AM Transistor radios were also not around at this time. They were a popular phenomenon of the early '60s.
Scratching head, moving glasses, holding an injury or even talking into her hand like an announcer are all possibilities. They did have radio and radio announcers back then. She might have been on her way to an audition, practicing a commercial spot for Loostener's Castor Oil Flakes or Fantastic Cigarettes.
Or, perhaps she's just realizing that she "could have had a V-8".
I think "spy" is the best guess. There was a lot of intrigue in the late '20s and early '30s. She could be CIA or KGB or U.N.C.L.E. or T.H.R.U.S.H. or K.A.O.S.
How 'bout tooth ache? Or alien mind control. There were still aliens back then, ya know.
It's also possible that vanity is the answer and she was trying to even the tan on the backside of her hand.
Or, she is simply trying to avoid the camera by covering her face and mumbling epithets to the movie makers.
Or, all of the above.
How Will 'Conan' Compare to Other 'First Name Only' Shows? {PopEater}
Sep 9th 2010 6:01AM Conan did not "force" his way onto the Tonight Show. Five years before he took the Tonight stage, he had been promised the show.
The change was promoted for a long time with the tag that J. Leno had personally chosen O'brien as his replacement (Like Leno was supposedly chosen by Johnny Carson).
J. had reportedly said that he'd promised his wife that he was going to retire in five years. Many of Conan's guests congratulated O'Brien for his anticipated promotion to an earlier hour with more exposure. It was supposed to be Conan's time after 20 years of Jay Leno. But, as they say..."The best laid plans...".
J. Leno's audience was not congruent with O'Brien's audience-culturally, intellectually and otherwise. Conan was more experimental, Leno was/is much more mundane, less risky and more predictable; which many seemed to have gotten used to at the hour of the Tonight Show.
It was a shame that so many things were changed about Conan's program--especially the size of the stage and studio, the location of the broadcast, and that NBC showed so little faith in allowing O'Brien the reasonable opportunity to build an audience. Too much advertising money was at stake. When Conan didn't click immediately, the network went back to Leno for more of the same, knowing that would bring in advertisers in the short term.
David Letterman: Game Show Contestant (VIDEO) {AOL TV}
Sep 2nd 2010 5:46AM Quite so. I used to think he was funny and clever, but he has a nasty mean streak and a bratty, selfish attitude.
