Welcome to the online home of Childhelp, Trooper! We are glad you saw our brand new Starship Troopers PSA with Casper Van Dien. With the help of national programs we are able to spread awareness on the silent killer that is child abuse and neglect. Sadly, four children die every day to this terrible scourge on our society.
To truly fight back we must enlist the help of communities just like yours around the continent. Just by taking the initiative to visit this site youve taken the very first step towards helping us treat and prevent child abuse. Each step you take helps the lives of hundreds of children. Wont you take another? Here are three more steps you can take to brighten the life of a child.
Here is the press release:
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (January 27, 2009) – Johnny Rico, lead character in the hit movie Starship Troopers, is suiting up once again to fight back against the evils of the galaxy. Hollywood actor Casper Van Dien has reprised the combat savvy character for Childhelp to talk about fighting a different war – the war against child abuse. Two new public service announcements (PSAs) were filmed for Childhelp, one of the leading organizations dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child abuse, and recently made their debut online.
The PSAs were put together by an all star team including Academy Award winning visual effects directors Robert Skotak and Dennis Skotak, with the assistance of their brother Jeffrey Skotak who is now also working in visual effects. Robert and Dennis Skotak won Oscars for their visual effects work in the movies Terminator 2, Aliens and The Abyss. The filming was done by John Murlowski, who filmed Starship Troopers 3, and the editing by Kevin VanHook, who has worked on many blockbusters including I, Robot and Daredevil.
“Everyone jumped at the chance to come together and support such a great cause,” said Casper Van Dien. “Four children die every day in this country because of child abuse and neglect, and we all need to do whatever we can to help children in need.”
The PSAs can be viewed on the Childhelp website at http://www.childhelp.org/troopers/video

Wignut Web – Resist Obama edition
Barack Obama was elected president, which lead to a flurry of new Right Wing online webgroups forming all over the web as every nutjob with a computer has an idea how to save the party. Many of these will fizzle out in a year or so, but while they are here we will mock them. It is fun. The Patriotic Resistance at Resistnet.com is one such group, they use Ning like a surprising amount of the new groups and are filled with a whole pack of idiots and racists. These are actual posts on the Resistnet.com forums, which we aren’t linking to so because we’re jerks here. The stupid image program compressed these but they are still readable, so much for that dumb program (or me not making backups of thirty images.) Let’s get this party started!Tex is a friend of Hawaiian independence:
Don’t tread on Ann’s White Power discussions!
jill freely admits she is a racist, while believing if you were to ever insult a black person you would go to jail
kathy randal knows MLK has a dream to NOT have Obama as president
Black people have all the cool clubs and change their names every 5 years!
In my day all Mulatos would be executed by fellow schoolchildren! Thanks for your email address…
Doug Ward knows the blacks and Mexicans cannot breath without killing each other
leo ames knows all blacks are immigrants and not descendants of slaves, and Obama is the real racist
It is Ann again, a valued member of the community
Stare at black people and DEMAND they tell you how you oppressed them!
Mama Bear refuse to use pennies or five dollar bills (with bonus Blacks are the real racists)
Wiccanwolf, furry witch commie fighter!
Black people should get on their knees and thank white people!
Yeah, “probably”
What does Sarah Palin have to do with crackers?
This totally happened and ThePhoenixFromTheAshes didn’t make it up.
Real patriotic Americans call for treason!
Another baby whines about how they can’t call minorities racist names to their faces
I’m sure if there were lions in Atlanta Kunta Kinte would have lost more than a foot.
Ann is back to tell us the horrible tale of how black people once looked at her, and a black homeless guy hit her up for change!
I have 900 degrees but can’t seem to get paid what I deserve, it can’t be because I’m a liar
Amy had a grandmother who was a white slave?
Minuteman would rather see the world burn than live under Obama
Judy Doyle comes up with the craziest Obama is fake story I have heard since the Malcolm X one!
Praying for the rapture to occur will solve this Obama problem!
Timothy is a real patriot all set to support America by destroying it for a .org secessionist government!
The South will be retarded again!
Hang all voters!
Jon A is on a watchlist like all patriots!
Black people can’t govern themselves because they are all trying to immigrate to America

Samson—In the Future!
Hey, we all love the story of Samson in the Bible and how Delilah cut his hair and he pushed some columns in all suicide bomber-like, but you will love it even more in the future!
Warner prevailed in a three-studio bidding battle. The seven-figure deal comes despite a sluggish year so far for deals on material.
Scott Silver (8 Milie) will write the script, and Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) will direct. Erwin Stoff will produce through 3 Arts.
Samson gives a futuristic twist to the story of the biblical strongman who was invincible until he was betrayed by Delilah, to whom he entrusted the secret that his strength came from his long hair.
Three studios were fighting over this movie! THREE!!! Is it any wonder why movies are terrible, just terrible now? Samson in the future is dumb, but Zorro in the future will rule!
Zorro 2110 was to be its name, but who knows what is happening with that one, it has been lawsuit city since 2005:
Filmmakers Sue Sony Pictures Over Rights To Make ‘Zorro’ Film
Who owns Zorro? That’s the question filmmakers are asking a judge to answer.
Los Angeles, CA — Sobini Films claims it owns the rights to a 1919 book in which the character Zorro first appears and it wants to use that to make a futuristic movie to be called “Zorro 2110.”
But Sony Pictures sent a cease-and-desist letter, stopping the Sobini project, claiming Sony owns exclusive rights to develop and distribute all films and T-V programs based on “Zorro.”
Now Sobini is suing.
The complaint also asks the judge to find that Zorro’s look, including his black mask, cape, hat and sword, cannot be tradmarked or copyrighted.
No comment on the suit from Sony Pictures.

A Leigh Scott film, yes the director of Transmorphers, Dragon, and countless other Asylum productions has fled that company and is now making the kinds of films he wants. These include biker chicks and rednecks vs. robots lead by a madman Paul Le Mat. Luckily, Stacey Dash’s biker gang is adept at kicking robot butt. And Stacey Dash is hot, so we got that going on as well.
