"Acting"

I've just read yet another article praising Eminem's performance in 8 Mile.

OK. Let me see if I understand this. Eminem is a white rapper from a poor section of Detroit who has issues with his mother and women in general. He had to struggle for acceptence in the music world.

In the movie, he plays the exact same thing.

I will believe that Em is a good actor when he plays something other than himself.

Watching CNN just now, and they had a story about baggage being searched at airports without the passengers' consent or presence.

At one point a screener, when asked about privacy, said "If they don't want me to see it, don't pack it."

Excuse me? This may come as a shock to our government, but at times people carry things that they do not want to share with underpaid screeners.

For example I will be packing material of an erotic, kinky nature both ways on my New York trip. I know what happens behind the scenes in travel industry.

This doesn't even begin to address the possibilities for theft.

Also they stated that if a search found something like drugs they would inform the cops. This only violates 25+ years of court precident.

My bags are going to be fucking padlocked from now on.
