Dear China: Get over yourself. Just because you favor conformity doesn't mean you should be a douche when one of your own is rightfully recognized. Sure you don't like insurgency; I can respect that, but no matter how much you hate it, Liu Xiaobo is Chinese and he won a freaking Nobel Peace Prize! Yes his participation in the Tiananmen Square riots is problematic, but be grateful that one of your own is being honored. And for goodness sake, stop claiming disrespect to anyone who attends the ceremony. Do you think China is being unreasonable?

Does this disgust anyone else? Quite honestly I'm torn whether to think it's a good or a bad thing. On one hand I'm glad the whole list isn't shallow, but at the same time, most of it is. What do you think?

Thirtieth November Two Thousand Ten

So how many people liked Johnny Depp's portrayal of Jack Sparrow? My guess is many, as each movie was a hit at the box office; however, apparently ex-chief executive of Disney was not among the masses. Supposedly former boss man Michael Eisner "could not stand" how the role was portrayed. In any case, what was was a trilogy is due for a fourth installment next year. So what do you say? Eisner versus the masses. Take your pick.
