Other Stuff

I'm just not going to review the movies I've seen recently. There are too many of them. And soon, probably, I will be posting book reviews. But for now, a few other things.

First of all, rest in peace Tyler Clementi, a college freshman who jumped to his death off of George Washington Bridge after being outed as gay on the internet via a secret sex tape of his sexual encounters in his dorm room.

Apparently, his roommate installed a camera and filmed Tyler whenever he asked to have the dorm for the night for a, well, hook up. Later, his roommate released these tapes on the internet. In shame of being outed on the internet, he jumped off a bridge. Not only is this crime considered cyberbullying, it is also being considered a hate crime by some gay rights advocate groups. Unfortunately, the boys responsible are only being charged with violation of privacy. It is a crime that holds up to five years in jail. For a few stories on the subject, go here, here, and here.

Personally, I think they deserve more than five years in jail.

In other, more cheerful news, GLEE IS BACK! Actually, it's been back for three weeks now. And I can only watch the episodes a day later, but that's totally okay. As long as I get to watch them. This episode, tune in to see Finn sing a cover of REM's Losing My Religion, along with the cast of Glee doing other faith-related songs in the episode "Grilled Cheezus."
