Beat This, Panty Hoser
You may have thought you won the battle, but, little did we all know back then, censors won the war...
From Wikipedia:
As a sex symbol
Daisy Duke was both the main female protagonist and the sex symbol on The Dukes of Hazzard. She frequently wore revealing clothing such as bikinis and tank tops. Her trademark was the Daisy Dukes, the name given to the short cutoff blue jeans that Daisy often wore.
Because network censors believed that her shorts alone would be too revealing, Daisy (along with other female characters) always wore pantyhose underneath her shorts. It may have had the opposite effect: The official Daisy Duke poster reportedly outsold those featuring the era's other sex symbols, Farrah Fawcett and Raquel Welch.

Beat this, Dieing Culture
Modern American culture offers a far graver threat to the Muslim world, bound up as it still is with the mores of traditional society, than ever did Weimar decade to traditional Jews. When President George W Bush hectors the Muslim world on behalf of the American ideal of freedom, traditional Muslims look askance at him. By Muslim standards, what sort of parent is he? Mothers in the Muslim world slit their daughters' throats for less than Bush's twin daughters Barbara and Jenna have done. For example, young Barbara Bush showers in the same-sex bathrooms at Yale with men in the next stall, the New York Post reported on November 3. In most Muslim countries she would be a candidate for an honor killing. If that is what the president means by freedom, most Muslims will have none of it. Move all the Jews in Israel to North Dakota, and disaffection in the Muslim world will remain.

Historischer Hintergrund
Über die Entstehungsgeschichte des orientalischen Tanzes (Bauchtanz) gibt es viele Vermutungen, aber keine wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse. Allgemein wird angenommen, dass dieser Tanz aus dem Fruchtbarkeitsritus entstanden ist und zu den ältesten Tänzen der Welt gehört. Von Indien über den Orient bis hin zum Balkan und dem Mittelmeerraum finden sich immer wieder Zeugnisse von rituellen oder religiösen Tänzen, die sich mit der Verehrung des ewig Weiblichen und der Muttergöttin befassen. Wie groß die Ähnlichkeit der ursprünglichen Tänze zum heutigen Bauchtanz ist, kann nicht mehr belegt werden, unverkennbar sind jedoch die lustbetonten und sinnlichen Bewegungen des Beckens und der Hüfte des orientalischen Tanzes bis heute. Das Interesse am orientalischen Tanz ist nahezu ungebrochen: Etwa 60.000 Frauen beschäftigen sich derzeit allein in Deutschland hobbymäßig mit orientalischem Tanz und es findet kaum eine Feier statt, auf der nicht eine orientalische Tänzerin auftritt. Lassen auch Sie sich vom Zauber dieses Kostüms anstecken und verwandeln Sie sich mit ihm in eine exotische Tänzerin.

Beat this, Fetish Fanatic
While researching Bono, I found this little know and not fully verified fact about Bono. He has a weakness for Belly Dancers. At least it says so on the internet so it must be true. At least it explains this girl dancing for them on tour.

Beat This, Easily Misled
Although I love MythBusters as much as anyone, I would hardly call the entertainment that they dish out in the name of science a "healthy serving of reality". And I like Discovery, so I don't think they have an agenda, but back to my earlier post, they are still trying to get us, so watch what you post here.

Beat this, Paranoid Cynic
While it is understood that Hicks died of pancreatic cancer, I believe the real cause of his death was his negative cynicism. And even more than that, his paranoia.
Again from wikipedia
Hicks became convinced that the government initiated the destruction of the compound by setting it on fire (he pointed to footage of a tank allegedly shooting fire into the compound as evidence) and then covered-up its actions. He also expressed disappointment with the various overseas bombing campaigns ordered by President Clinton and the Warren Commission explanation of the Kennedy assassination.
So, while it would be easy to say that cancer killed him, I believe that paranoia coupled with his cynicism actually ate him up, slapped him around a bit and eventually beat him.

Beat This, Plagiarizing Jokester
From wikipedia...
Accusations of Plagiarism
For many years, Leary had been friends with fellow comedian Bill Hicks. However, when Hicks heard Leary's 1993 release No Cure For Cancer he was upset and claimed Leary was stealing his material. This was due to the similarity in topics covered and some of Hicks' punchlines, particularly those from Hicks' releases of Sane Man (1989) and Dangerous (1990), allegedly having variants in Leary's act. The friendship ended abruptly as a result. Leary has said he wanted to patch things up before Hicks died in 1994, though this confession happened several years after Hicks' death.
