Epic Drop 11/5/09: Maine denies gays, Fedor v. Rogers, 'V' propaganda, Comcast throttles, Kick-Ass, Prejean sex tape

It is taser mania here on the Epic Drop tonight with two quality taserings for your satisfaction.  Twice the juice for the price of one, you can't beat that.  Plenty of interesting stories tonight including sex tapes and Rachel Bilson stopping in and grabbing her... crotch?  +1 for that.

Gay marriage was denied once again, this time in Maine.  It has been defeated 31 times in 31 states every time it has been put up for a popular vote.  Seems maybe the country is more conservative then they like to admit?  Interestingly there was a proposal here in a near bye city that passed banning bars from discriminating based on sexual orientation.  I don't get down that way often but I guess I didn't realize it was that big of an issue in the college town of Western Michigan University.

I kind of laughed with Vir yesterday about "V" being kind of a tongue-in-cheek look at our current political climate.  Interestingly enough someone took the time to write about it and addressed some of those same aspects.  I don't see this as being some form of propaganda or anything though much of it is probably coincidence.  It was a good watch however and the top rated show of the fall with a 5.2.

The pros pick Fedor vs. Rogers over at Sherdog in what should be a cool experience seeing Fedor on network TV for the first time.  I might even go to the bar for this one and drink Smirnoff in celebration (no).  If you aren't picking Fedor for this fight you just might be delusional.  In other MMA news Dana White seems to not only have issues landing Fedor but driving as well.

A Carrie Prejean sex tape where she is "alone" in the video?  The male in me says I am definitely interested.  Rumors are swirling that such a thing exists and hence the reasoning behind her recent settlement of a lawsuit against the pageant.  /b/ I am counting on you guys...

The MPAA wants a three strikes rule instated here in the states for pirating movies and Comcast is working on a new "throttling plan".  Everyone wants to make it hard to be a pirate now days.  If you use "more than 70 per cent of your maximum downstream or upstream bandwidth for more than 15 minutes" the first trigger to throttle your account will be triggered.  Really now?  Does that mean my cost of internet is going to drop 30% in return?  I can't believe they are selling you a pipe that you can only use 70% of for less than 15 minutes.

Kick-Ass, the little-indy-movie-that-could is giving off an early vibe that is very impressive.  A test screening review is up over at AICN and apparently "it is ******* awesome!!!"  I am glad Lionsgate picked this up as big distributor is pretty much the only way to go now days unless you pull off a miracle like Paranormal Activity. 


60+ times they told this guy to get back in the car.  I kind of see it being his own fault though they did pull a gun on him which probably scared him ****less.  He was found not guilty of resisting arrest however so I am curious to see how the Federal lawsuit goes.  Story here



This one is short and sweet.  This guy was surely out of control, glad they put him down...



And the poll is closed for November's Friday girl and Keeley has won, 200 votes to Alba's 180.  Good thing too, I was almost just going to pick Keeley for December.
