A decade ago, when it was still too outlaw to even act threatened by it, my show Toolz of the New Schoolattended the Gay Pride Parade in the West Village and committed a crime more outlawed than sodomy: wedding homos.

For the uninitiated, this movie scene has been re-subtitled many times to show Hitler blowing up over losing his saved games on Play Station 3, because the ending of Watchmen was changed from the comic, and upon hearing that Michael Jackson died. It has even been the topic of its own mashups.
My grandfather, U.S. Air Force Colonel Bruce Hinton (Retired), just passed away at almost 90 years old. He was a successful pilot and officer while quite young, and distinguished himself in aviation history in the Korean War. I am deeply thankful that the History Channel did this piece on his famous dogfight — for interviewing him in his waning years, for the effective use of animation and attention to detail in this story, and for helping his memory live on.
Svetlana is a Russian whore with an exclusive clientele – like the President of Iran. But between running her house of pleasures and raising her own family, Svetlana may just be the sanest person in her world.
