on NCIS there was a graphic sex/porn scene which culminated in a murder (you actually see the woman's throat slit, blood and all) LOL!
You should have kept watching, since that scene was the only "fake" scene in the entire episode, and the key to finding the real murderess.

The Law of Unintended Consequences should have an interesting effect, here. Many movies, TV shows and TV commercials are filmed in Canada due to their lower costs.
With this UNESCO deal, Canada may have sucker-punched itself while it was sucker-punching Hollyweird. Though the Hollyweirdos are dumb as a bunch of rocks, even they can figure out what is going to happen to their cushy lifestyle if their "products" are withheld from foreign markets.
This whole stupid thing is to laugh.

I don't blame the world for wanting to reject all of the smut that comes out of Hollywood. I wish the US would too. That said, a far more important message here is that Canada, who is
supposed, to be our FRIEND has stuck the screws to us again.
EVERY SINGLE TIME that there is a dispute with ANY country in the world, the WTO, WHO, UN, et al, a fine/decision is ALWAYS against the US! That bunch of stupid bast*rds in DC have their heads up their a$$es so far, that they can't see the light of day! By the time they see what they've done, the US will be a third world country! We can thank President Bush for the latest suck up to the UN, and it's costing us a fortune. That and all of the unconstitutional trade agreements he's made with Canada, Mexico and the rest of the world, have screwed us beyond the point of repair.

Sheila Copps, then Canadian heritage minister, had already organized an international network of culture ministers Heritage Ministers? Culture Ministers?
This sounds like a Mony Python routine. I love this stuff.
I've decided I want to be a Heritage Minister. I'm going to promote the authentic tribal traditions of my people, which is bass fishing, fast-pitch softball, and barbecue. If you say anything against it, you're a racist. And you'll have to say "please" if you want seconds.

It's subtle. UNESCO has direct connections into the US Department of Education, promoting all sorts of PC iniatives, GBLTQ stuff, etc. They organize children's organizations into global associations, such as the Girl Scouts USA, now a part of the World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides with a stated goal of producing "citizens of the earth." They have an ongoing claim on American monuments, such as Independence Hall. They have a say in how the US manages its national parks. UN officials have precluded maintenance of historic CCC buildings within Yellowstone for example. They run the Biosphere Reserve Programme which places large amounts of private property under UN "guidelines" exercising unconstitutional land use demands as enforced by American bureaucrats.
Here's an example of that system at work. They run the "
Man and Biosphere" programme (like the pagan logo?). Part of that programme is the
Wildlands Project, which seeks to set aside 50% of the continental US as "no entry" zones, effectively cutting up the country and requiring permits to travel (they're really big on bringing wolves to your neighborhood). Then there's the
Agenda21, or Sustainable Development, which is the essential backbone for
Global Governance under the UN. That will affect every aspect of your life.
No big deal, really, nothing to see, just pretend it's an empty gesture and you'll feel just fine about it.

Slowly but surely the UN dissolves into fascism and sows the seeds of it's own demise.Yes. Interesting that the very people who stand to lose the most in this are some of the UN's biggest public supporters. Hollywood liberals may just turn spiteful.
To: Publius6961
The truly humorous part is that the reporter seems to share the tribal primitive belief that "humiliation" is the ultimate crime,When you're reactions are those of a narcissistic juvenile, that's right--humiliation is the worst thing imaginable--for a twelve year-old.
To: joebuck
There is virtually no commodity that a country cannot claim is intrinsically part of the national culture. You nailed it. I think this is in part a reaction to an increasing rate of globalization of culture per se, that of the United States being only the villain of the moment. India's turn will come - her representatives voted in favor despite the sizeable income that country receives from a movie industry that puts out more than Hollywood. Good luck, suckers!
I don't really think this sort of insularity is possible in the long run even if the Euros and the other multicultis do manage to fragment the Internet. But they have to understand that this sort of persistent, one-sided anti-American activity is more likely to harden American attitudes toward the sort of internationalist control they're pushing. Continuing to slap us in the face at every opportunity and then bleating "why do they hate us? Oh, it must be because they're imperialists" is childish and self-defeating.

Somewhere in Europe... Near Britian, I think.

I don't think their treaty will amount to much.
All of these things will still make it into these countries if their consumers want it, and they do.
Just more stupid nanny state controls that will fail.

They can offshore a certain % of production to Canada or Mexico and turn the movie into a "foreign" product for purposes of the agreement. I'm sure there's no shortage of people within the UN that they can buy off if needed.

"Thank you George Bush, for entangling the US UNESCO where Reagan had got us out."
Good memory, I'm sure the bots would prefer that you'd placed that factoid down the memory hole. George W. Bush rushed in where Ronald Reagan feared to tread.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Bush sign back onto UNESCO as part of his bid to get the UN to support military action in Iraq? If so, Bush was double-suckered."
No you just need a bot to explain how it was a brilliant stratagem on his part, using poker analogies.

"The U.S. earns about $80 billion a year from the export of its popular culture.
If I'm reading the article correctly, the "Cultural products" are mostly movies and music. On one hand, I want to support American businesses, but OTOH the world is kinda sticking it to Hollywierd. Given the amount of crap that passes for "cultural products" these days, it might be nice to limit them here too...."
It is a bit like the Iran-Iraq War, isn't it? Madonna and Alec Baldwin vs. Kofi Annan and Jaques Chirac.
