For Whom the Death Knell Tolls (PS It Tolls for You Old Media -- From New Media, XOXO!!!!1111one)

I lost a lot of good men over there. Vietnam.

The media never got it right. Hollywood never got it right. Rescue Dawn, The Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now--mere shadows of the horror that billows at the edges of my mind.

New media, however, has captured the isolation, terror, and choreography of my time in a South-east Asian prison that has left me taking a colostomy bag and a 9mm everywhere I go. Thriller, Sister Act, Radio Gaga, and the Jumbo Hot Dog (I lost Pat to that VC menace).

Congratulations, Asia, for continuing to be a net exporter of weird.

    My favorite is definitely the HOt Dog Gang. I think that there is a warden somewhere who really needs a sit down with Dr. Phil!

    If you want to see something really disturbing, check out the hot dog boys doing Thriller.
