  Re: Brick Testament site linked with child porn case??!!
 
(...) How true. It always amuses me at how our society "shuns" those parts of the Bible that aren't all holy and pure. Guess what people? You have to deal with the bad AND the good because the original writers are trying to TELL you something (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Brick Testament site linked with child porn case??!!
 
(...) Would the FBI care? (I don't think the FBI starts looking at you until your a suspect of something, so unless you've got a reason to think the FBI may be after you...) I'd think the NSA, CIA, or the newly formed Homeland Security Department (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general)

(...) stronger bastions of respectable journalism in the UK. In any case, I sent the following letter to the editor. It's couched in the usual over-assertive letter-to-the-editor style that seems the only way to get past the sub-editors. to: (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general)

(...) (URL) bother - the FBI already knows you like LEGO. And their logic might not be as rigorous as that reporter's. (That was sarcasm. I hope.) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general)
 
  Brick Testament site linked with child porn case??!!
 
This is very weird how they grouped the Brick Testament site along with the other offensive material...I guess I better purge my cache at work! Seems like they have blown this way out of proportion at this poor guys expense (or they were just (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general) !! 
 
  [rtlToronto] rtlToronto Makes the Front Page. Literally.

  Socceroos and LEGO
 
Spotted on p.75 of yesterday's Herald-Sun: a photo of Socceroos coach Frank Farina sitting behind a LEGO Soccer field!

  News Flash - Life on Mars in short supply!
 
Last night (18 December 2002) ABC Nightly News included the usual holiday segment on frantic parents searching for the season's "hot" toys, and a LEGO item was mentioned.

  Re: Lego Drug Humor with Technic Figures
 
Interestingly enough, these images appeared in a popular Israeli magazine called "Rating". Kind of a cross between a weekly magazine and a TV guide. It appeared next to the editor's column.

Last Thursday (12/12) there was a small segment about a local LEGO Mindstorms competition in NW Ohio on Fox Toledo news. I didn't catch the exact location, but the goal of the competition was to design robots to navigate an urban environment. -chris (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)

  Re: Have I got news for you, repeat is on BBC 2
 
The segment was in respect to "tat" being sold by the church. The featured items were a "nodding" figure of Jesus, an inflatable cathedral and the "Brick Testament" Father, Son & Holy Ghost set.
