[Trailer] The Bang Bang Club: Snapshots from a Hidden War

The above photograph was taken by Kevin Carter in Sudan in March 1993. Carter, a South African, was a member of The Bang Bang Club, a group of photojournalists who focused on covering South Africa during the death rattle years of Apartheid.

On May 23, 1994, Carter was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the above photograph. On July 27, 1994, Carter took his own life.

Other members of The Bang Bang Club were Ken Oosterbroek (killed in Thokoza township by friendly fire on April 18, 1994), Joao Silva (lost both legs to a land mine in Afghanistan in 2010), and Greg Marinovich.

The film adaptation of the book The Bang-Bang Club: Snapshots from a Hidden War was premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and will be released in theaters in the United States on April 22, 2011; however, it should be available on Video on Demand in the United States on April 20, 2011.

Jim Rome Smackoff on a Mobile - 1560 The Game

The Jim Rome Smackoff was this past Friday and since this was the first Smackoff to take place since the brains behind the idea, Travis Rodgers, started hosting his own show on Sporting News Radio and 1560 The Game in Houston, it was fitting that Sean "Cablinasian" Pendergast, five time winner of the Smackoff, presented listeners with the Jim Rome Smackoff on a Mobile. Pendergast has his own show on 1560 The Game and is a regular guest host on Sporting News Radio.

It seems like at least two to three times a day I deal with some inattentive, slow driver here in Houston that makes me wish I was back behind the wheel of a car in Italy instead.
