Blackout Sunday Football

 If fans want to watch the local team play, they need to attend the games because it sure isn't going to be on ESPN or Fox 13 on Sunday's anymore. At least that is the theory of NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers'. Since the start of the season, there has been 10 home games that have not been televised. In the first two weeks of the NFL season, the Bucs were the only team in the league to have their game blacked out. Some people are finding ways around this blackout, and trying their best to get the Bucs back on to Sunday afternoon T.V. Teams like the Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars have bought up tickets and given them to their season ticket holders in order to get attendance up. In '09, Ramon James Stadium was sold out every Sunday, now it's just about impossible to achieve that.

Water for Elephants Review

 All books that are turned into movies usually have high-success rates; Water for Elephants can be added to the list of successful books turned into successful movies. With movie trailers and announcements of the actors well before the release date of early summer; this movie was bound to be a success. The movie trailers for Water for Elephants gives it the "look" or "stereotype" of being a tear-up, heart-wrenching, romance movie. It's all of that, and more. There's a couple of twists and scenes that include action, violence, and suspense. You don't normally expect that many types of genres in one movie. Water for Elephants is set in an old-fashioned circus arena, and follows the life of a young veterinarian who trains and nurses the animals under the abusive and overly-intense owners watchful eye. While on the circus circuit, the vet meets and falls in-love with the circus' main horse attraction star, who also happens to be the owners wife. This creates the suspense and intensity of the movie. This movie was extremely easy to get into. Especially with the elaborate crops, sets, and animals that are used to make the atmosphere of a successful circus come to life. The costumes are elegant and really give the movie an old-fashioned feel, and well as the make-up and over all look of the actors. What makes this movie great is the perfect match-up of two great actors. Twilight's; Robert Pattinson and Legally Blonde's; Reese Witherspoon, this movie was great, and leaves you with a sense of adventure and the encouragement of wanting success in life. 

Money spent on a Pointless Marriage

 Apparently the Kardashian clan was too much for Kris Humphries to handle. After 72 days, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries have announced their divorce. Some say the whole engagement and marriage was a scam. However, whether it was a set up or not the press still would have gotten hold of the story and made a huge deal about it. There's always money to be made with these types of things, why not give it to the people that are making the story successful?
 It's not how much money was made through the process of the wedding and the reality show following the love affair of Kim and Kris. The bigger deal is how much money was spent. A total of 13 million dollars was spent on the wedding. This number is hard to believe, and causes ordinary people like me to think of other uses for that money. This money that was spent on a wedding that is now completely meaningless could have been used towards college tuitions, shelters, schools, cancer research, and so much more.
