Folks - finally, they did it!!!
The Oscar Academy Announced Today that they will exclude Roman Polanski!
(And they will exclude Bill Cosby as well!)
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has expelled actor Bill Cosby and director Roman Polanski from its membership.
A statement from the organisation behind the Oscars said: "The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' board of governors met on Tuesday night (May 1) and has voted to expel actor Bill Cosby and director Roman Polanski from its membership in accordance with the organisation's standards of conduct.
"The board continues to encourage ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academy's values of respect for human dignity."
Cosby was last week convicted of sexual assault, and Polanski remains a fugitive after fleeing the US in 1978 after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a teenager.
The Academy had expelled film producer Harvey Weinstein in October, following numerous allegations of sexual misconduct.

Perhaps it is appeasement. Soon, they will roll over and e pose their underbelly. These people, they serve us. Entertainers... rich... powerful... their money is just paper. Their power is hot air. Their ability to use these things to recieve the goods and services of the common folk, us, billions strong... that will evaporate soon. They live in an illusion. Watch them throw each other off of their life raft. This could never have happened in 2015.

They do not serve us. First day?

We consume their products and services. They would not exist without us. The illusion that they believe is that WE serve and need them, when clearly it is the other way around.

"we" CONTINUE to consume their products and services.. They own you and your protest. You have teeny tiny balls. They have impunity. You lose. No arrest. Enjoying your victory? This is all you get.

As for owning me: lol.
