Colin Mochrie Scenes From Star Wars

I found the Star Wars video below the same week that No Named Dufus published his latest caption contest featuring a Star Wars theme. In this video, Colin Mochrie acts out his favourite scenes from the Star Wars films. Produced by Calwyn Shurgold for "The Shurgold Show".

Obi-Wan Kenobi Is Dead, Vader Says

CORUSCANT — Obi-Wan Kenobi, the mastermind of some of the most devastating attacks on the Galactic Empire and the most hunted man in the galaxy, was killed in a firefight with Imperial forces near Alderaan, Darth Vader announced on Sunday...

Lord Vader announced the killing of Obi-Wan Kenobi
Click the picture for the complete story. Awesome idea. If you are a Star Wars geek or just a casual fan, you will be impressed. If only there were more stories... Got me thinking, with all that advance technology, social networking was rather limited. Not that I expect Darth Vader to have a Facebook page. It's funny how portrayal of advanced technologies or societies often look like our past.

Gang Violence

Results of the Canadian Police Survey on Youth Crime suggests that youth gangs are a growing concern in many parts of Canada. Gun violence in major cities has additionally been a concern, especially in Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Montreal. In 2005, the number of gang-related homicides rose to 16% of all homicides. In the United States, after nearly five years of decline from 1999 to 2004, gang problems seem to be on the rise. We must do whatever we can to end these occurrences of violence, such as shown in the video below.



Even Star Wars can't stop gang violence.
