Nike Alpha Project ads

Click here to view … [ Read more ]one of Michael’s Nike Alpha Project commercials titled “Court Elves|Johnnny the Angry Android|Goat Boy.”You must have Quicktime 4.0.

“Court Elves|Johnnny the Angry Android|Goat Boy” (Propaganda Films 1999)
“Johnny the Angry Android” (Propaganda Films 1999)
“Snowdome” (Propaganda Films 1999)

Pearl Harbor crash video

Many of you have e-mailed me requesting that I put on the video taken by an amateur photographer shown on ET (Entertainment Tonight) of the airplane crash. I have not seen the video and have no intentions of doing so. I will tell you the following without adopting a “holier-than-thou” attitude:
