Sunday, March 30th 2008 Topeka held the first "Million Fag March". It was a protest against Fred Phelps and his hate mongering church. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Phelps here is a very quick rundown:
•He is a racist
•He hates gay people
•He hates America
•He hates our soldiers
•He probably hates you
They get headlines by protesting funerals of our soldiers and more recently Heath Ledger. The million fag march was started from a friend's brother, Chris Love. He had gotten fed up with all this nonsense and wanted to put together a protest against them.
He gathered over 400 people from all sexualities and races and we marched around a park near their church. Freedom of speech is what protects their right to do what they do, and this protest was not trying to make them stop. It was simply a protest saying "these are the people you hate and there are more of us than of you."

Doomsday Movie, So horrible it almost made it awesome, but didn't (1/4 stars)
There were so many problems with this film. It was way, way, way over-the-top much in the same way Mad Max and Escape from NY was. Except with this film, I don't have the fond childhood memories that are the reasons I think those movies are so entertaining.
The plot was weak, but I am not going to knock it too much because of that. Because anyone going to watch this film isn't watching it for good acting or a plot. They are watching it for action and more action. As far as the action went, this film delivered as promised. So why such a low rating you may be asking?
My problem with the movie was there were so many things they could have done better. They have a country full of people who are trapped inside the walls yet no one on the outside has looked in close enough to realize there are people everywhere until 25 years goes by. Seems a bit shady. Also, people have become canibles after just that many years? I almost understood this part because they said they had no food, yet there were cows everywhere, why didn't they just eat the cows.
Another part of the movie where I was like "this is way too much" was when they entered a time warp. Basically, they travel a day north where instead of cities they have a castles, peasants, executioners and a gladiator pit. A bit far-fetched to me. Then to make matters worse they escape end up finding a beautiful 2008 Bentley in a fall out shelter. Miraculously, the car is in perfect running condition and they drive off charging a 25 year old cell phone that they use to call the motherland. So how is it that they can call out on an old cell phone with no towers yet the people that were trapped there were cut off entirely? It was things like this that urked me because they could have done so much better just leaving out a few things.
Even the car chase seen was dumb. The car crashes through a bus that blows up and it doesn't even have a scratch. Stupid. Escape from NY was much more believable which is why this film sucks so bad.
Don't waste your money unless you have drank a substantial amount first, then the movie may be quite funny.
