Gore in Media
Am I the only one who has been disturbed by the uptrend of gore in the media? And it isn't so much violence, but the gore. I don't really watch much television, granted, but when I do there seems to be a gratuitous amount of gore. Is that why Firefly got canned? Not enough gore ( Read more... ) -

You're on a road trip, it's late at night and you're really hungry. You've eaten all the car snacks, and it's time for a meal. You pull off at the rest stop and find there's a Kentucky Fried Chicken, a Taco Bell and a Burger King. Where would you eat? Why? (Semi-bonus question: what would you order?)
