It is glaringly obvio...<i>Now Austin and that shirt...<br />It is glaringly obvious when you look at screencaps of last week's show, how everyone was wearing dark tone, and there was Austin in a lilac check shirt....</i><br /><br />There certainly could be something to your hypothesis, Special. We know something odd was going on in California in September. Jake was in Hollywood on 9/9 photographed coming out of Murakami Sushi. Followed by the 9/13 Ted post does about "Just Tied the Knot" where he uses the phrase "a little Jakey-poo Jr. on the way." On 9/14 we get the overkill of Jake out with three women the previous week (Busy, Anna K. and Rashida.) Then from 9/16-9/19 Jake flies up to SF, but makes sure everyone sees him leave CA by taking a commercial flight. On 9/20 he wants to be seen everywhere in NY so he's walks and takes a train around the W. Village. On the weekend of 9/23-25 Austin is not heard from at all and Jake not that much. But, on October 2 we get the strange "Steam-powered" story on Page Six, which talks about Jake frequenting the bath houses, a week prior. <br /><br />As someone has already stated, we get the very odd Yom Kippur family photo nonsense only about a week later. Never mind Jake being seen in an SUV in NY at the end of September. Ted also writes about BT on 9/29 with the creative plural form of <i><b>"Tile's</b> great, very well taken care of. As far as Toothy's love-life and career go, he's gotten more domestic lately, which has greatly helped the latter."</i>Methodical Muserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270818458477415124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-34054314718073174692012-03-13T20:22:53.253-04:002012-03-13T20:22:53.253-04:00Oh, sorry - I agree, I don't know why this is ...Oh, sorry - I agree, I don't know why this is so, we are more prudish about sex and bodies, but with guns and violence, not as much restraint. :(Now Wait a minute...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-80845398490895214892012-03-13T19:50:24.883-04:002012-03-13T19:50:24.883-04:00Seaweed said:

New Haven, CT is 4th. California has two cities in the top ten - perennial favorites Oakland (6th) and Stockton (10th).

We've seen over and over again how both Jake and Austin use clothing and trinkets to 'shout out' to each other. Anyone that fails to see this can just save their gas... there are many here who have been watching these guys' antics for years, so save yourself the sputtering and let be, let be.<br /><br />On the subject of a cautionary words for the video, I agree, it would have been nice courtesy for those who have an aversion to such gratuitous violence. Must say it all made me a bit sick in the pit of my stomach. I realize this is a work of art, Jake's characterization at the instruction of a famous Directors thoughts. While nice to see Jake stretch his acting chops, it's more than I care to see, but that's just my sensibilities. Others may feel quite different. <br /><br />This presents an editorial opportunity for me to expound on a great divide between Canadian and American sensibilities in general. And I'm not speaking of individual people's quirks or concerns so much as a collective sense through the "media" as to what is tolerable in each country. Canadians are thought to be more provincial in some ways than their American counterparts, yet are not so uptight or sensitive towards foul language in our media coverage or in our TV programming. You'll hear more true to life expression on Canadian TV, especially on Cable programming. Colourful language is just very realistic and is heard even on the CBC, the national broadcaster. Also, you will see more nudity, titties and arses, nursing babies, etc. Now, on the other hand, in the U.S. these things are considered less than moral and because of the ultra-right sensibilites of some in the spectrum you don't hear or see much of what we see in Canada. What "We" see in U.S. programming is a plethora of blood and gore, bodys cut apart, murders, graphic physical violence ad nauseum. <br /> <br />We all live on the same continent, and for the most part watch much of the same programming, but the level of anxiety in the States is topped with a Janet Jackson 'accidentally on purpose' nipple, or a curse or profanity uttered on a show. You are either conditioned to tolerate blood and gore but not a heaving breast or an expletive. Go figure!<br /><br />Bottom line for me is this video represents less than stellar music, certainly not my preference, and so far removed from George Harrison and "What is Life" to be in another solar system. Jake can do what he wishes but I'll not look to this video a second time, even to see an actor that I enjoy seeing take a challenge in his craft. It's beyond what I choose to see. <br /> <br />Just spouting off and hoping I didn't waste your time. <br />S.Seaweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374926141288808330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-23220820691594594642012-03-13T16:46:35.603-04:002012-03-13T16:46:35.603-04:00And for the trolls who are trying to distract from...<i>And for the trolls who are trying to distract from today's post.

And, by the way, even the network and cable news stations will issue a warning if something is coming up that might be graphically disturbing (e.g., "This video contains extremely <br />violent scenes"). <br /><br />I have to admit, it was surprising that there was no warning before this video anywhere are the net. If Jake had been buck ass naked, explicitly showing of his "manhood" for all to see, you bet there would have been a major rating alert for that one.
