Crazy – Man stopped from boarding flight over a t-shirt

31 05 2008

Brad Jayakody was recently stopped from boarding a plane at London Heathrow Terminal 5, for wearing a FCUK transformers t-shirt depicting Optimus Prime.

From Brad,

Go through security, get pulled to the side. I’m wearing a French Connection Transformers t-shirt. Bloke starts joking with me is that Megatron. Then he explains that since Megatron is holding a gun, I’m not allowed to fly. WTF? It’s a 40 foot tall cartoon robot with a gun as an arm. There is no way this shirt is offensive in any way, and what I’m going to use the shirt to pretend I have a gun?

Luckily he was able to change and board the flight, but not before the security guard had finished hassling him. Actually I own this t-shirt too, it doesn’t look in the slightest bit ‘dangerous’, I guess its just another example of security going one step to far?

I’m not normally one for passing on rumours but seeing as its only 2 weeks away before the release of the MGS4 Guns of the Patriots European limited edition box-set, I thought I’d pass it on.

Here are two (albeit) small images of the limited edition box-set. Please note this is unconfirmed until further notice from Konami.

27 05 2008

This fight sequence scene from the film “The Protector” staring Tony Jaa (of Ong Bak fame) contains one of the best single take shots in a film.

It was shot using a ’steady cam’ and lasts nearly 4 minutes with no cuts or edits.
