Maybe it's just a Monday, and I'm tired, but imagine getting a live feed of these things touring the caves, while listening to some real atmospheric ambient music. I'd post what I'm listening to now, it'd be perfect but I don't want it to be misinterpreted as some kind of plug. Music is one of the few things rarely linked here.

It ends at him expressing beliefs not directly associated with, or contrary to the business paying him. I thought that was pretty clear? Take for example a pro-athlete, who is paid by a professional sports organization, and who has become rich and famous using the brand of that organization. They acquire millions of devoted followers (think twitter) who are almost obsessed with everything that athlete tweets, hundreds of times per week. Now let's say that athlete tweets something extremely offensive to thousands of people. Is that sports organization not supposed to punish the athlete for his/her comments? Should brands continue endorsing? Otherwise wouldn't it show that by continuing to support this athlete, it somehow aligns with the intentions of the company? Never mind if it wasn't published through an official medium such as a team press release. The association is implied.

I think $200 is a little much. I wish I could subscribe to MLB, NHL streaming for just my local teams for $50/month. NFL games are always broadcast on one of the basic network channels, those come in free. Sports are the main reason I keep paying for cable. $200 / year is ridiculous though because I would much rather go spend money at a bar and watch the game for free.

Some witness accounts, and IIRC the official police report state that Zimmerman actually headed back to his vehicle after being told not to follow, and was approached and attacked from behind. I wasn't there, didn't witness it, but this is of course why we have a judicial system at all. I hope you're never one of my jurors.
