The trailer was awesome though. Made you think it might actually be interesting. It's not. Nothing to see. Jump along.

(This is why I have not been SLOGing.)

I've lost friends to suicide, but I still think it's not society's job to disfigure public spaces in an attempt to prevent people from ending their lives. We can't make the whole world safe for everyone.

One, what is "it"? No, really--I mean, what the fuck?

Two, what is (sic)?

Three--and most topically--is it "Slog" or "The Slog"?

Inquiring "off-topic" trolls want to know.

And no, I don't feel like letting it go.

Won't it be MORE scenic without periodic plunging bodies?

Also: that X-Men clip is from Best Film & Video Corp, which also released the incredibly weird "Monster Hits" sing-along: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKnzUoQtlG0

It's garment-rendingly awful.
