On the show this week:-Black Sites Aren't Just for the Internet Anymore-AmazonFail!-Sexual Innuendo and the Body Politic-Something Vaguely Entertaining-Sanguinist's Life Falls Apart: Time Magazine Agrees With HimWe start out with Largo screwing up the intro before we introduce the new board game Hungry, Hungry Zombies! Sanguinist then gives a glimpse into just why he distrusts Wikipedia.Getting into topic land, we look at how the Attorney General more-or-less admitted that we did torture by stating that we don't anymore and how the new administration seems disinclined to pursue charges. Sanguinist recommends getting Israel to get involved in a World Cort investigation, maybe by sending Mossad agents in dressed as Cub Scouts to extradite George Bush for the inevitable international war crimes trial.This leads to an exploration of the Republican Party's failure to understand the vernacular meaning of the term Teabagging. We also look at the lack of focus about just what the Teabagging protests were supposed to be protesting. We also speculate about Jim Jones's cult wearing Snuggies if they were around today and about having to drop Dick Chaney down a reactor shaft if he really was a Sith Lord.Largo moves us over to a discussion about Amazon's 'glitch' that removed a bunch of books (many with gay or lesbian themes) from both Amazon's ranking and from the general search and Twitter's role in bringing it to folks' attention. We also digress onto the hilariously melodramatic âA Storm Is Gatheringâ anti-gay ad and the amusing audition tapes that make it impossible to take even remotely seriously. Sanguinist then gives us a small look at a controversy about Wikipedia removing articles about alternative faiths. This leads to a small digression about the Conflicker virus and how it was too effective for its own good. The Fish-Powered Engine then takes us over to look at the Somali pirate situation and how America is most likely to deal with it.Sanguinist then states that his life is over because Time Magazine has stated that zombies are cool. We must now part ways with our zombie followers because if they've become mainstream, we can't hang out with them anymore. But we can hang out with Woody Harrelson, who beats up paparazzi because he mistakes them for zombies.Speaking of zombies, Sanguinist gives us his review of the non-zombie movie Quarantine. Spoilers ensue, so if you haven't seen the film, stop here and come back when you're done. We also introduce the new, official SVR rating system: How Many Tentacles Out of Eight? We also look at how badly Dragonball: Evolution performed in its opening weekend and how well the new Star Trek is being reviewed. Rounding our movie topic out, we look forward to Terminator: Salvation and how the leaked work copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine doesn't seem to be endangering its opening weekend before hitting a request for Brimstone on DVD and staging an intervention in Joss Whedon's abusive relationship with Fox. We also look at NBC's poor luck with both genre series and other shows in general as well as SyFy trying to restart Stargate yet again. We close out the topic by looking at the different type of Bruce Campbell fans.We end the show by paying off last week's cliffhanger.Email us at: svreasonable@gmail.com.  Music used with permission by DJ Lodger.
