And he is in The Pacifier and he was "in the dark" (blind) in the Chronicles of Ridick"

Congrats BlogStalker! It was Vin Diesel...not sure were Doc got the stock market thing either so I'll have to ask him. Asala will award your points!

First, I too would like to give a congrats on hitting 50... here's to 50 more!

Secondly, I wish to make a stand; well, not really, but somehow somewhere someone is going to rant about this, so I thought I would address it now, so that it can be addressed properly.

Just keep in mind I'm playing Devil's Advocate, okay?

*ahem*

If we have automated censors in place to make ATS clean for net nannies and filters... if we are prevented from posting suggestions / comments / pictures related to unethical or illegal activities...

(anyone guess what's coming next?)

Then how can a blurb for Playboy be acceptable?

Now, hold on, hold on... me, I don't care; I'm against censorship to begin with. I just remember a thread a month or two back with the poster complaining about an ad depicting a bikini clad female, and how that "tarnishes ATS' image" or whatever... all I am trying to do is calmly point out the obvious hypocrisy (no, that's not it)... all I am trying to do is point something out in a calm and civil manner so that it may be addressed as such, before those with less flare and etiquette jump on.

I would like to address a few things in your post:

First, there was nothing explicit in either the interview or the magazine cover (and no link to their website) and no bikini clad model. As far as I know there was nothing illegal posted either. This podcast wasn't an advertisement for Playboy, and their interview was with Hope a fashion show host who just happens to be Miss April, (A smokin' hot Miss April)!

I do not believe that this in anyway conflicts with ATS/BTS policy.

I'm sure that The Amigos or Dave will clarify if need be.

Yay! well done Blogstalker points awarded!!!

happy 50th!!
Hope - cool girl. but I find it difficult for you to pronaunce correctly her polish family name. you should try something like : DVOR-AT-SICK

Isn't it interesting that a site that doesn't want certain things discussed, because it would cause a "red flag" in certain web-filtering programs will post a picture of the front cover of Playboy, AND have a full audio interview of a Playmate.

Do you think that is coincidence?
