Talk:Towelie

message: In addition to the admonition to bring a towel being a possibly Hitchhier's Guide reference, aren't fans of Hitchhiker's also sometimes called Towelies in the same sense Star Trek fans are Trekies/Trekers, Firefly fans are Browncoats, Doctor Who fans are Whovians, etc?
I've always kind of wondered if Matt and Trey didn't have a bet that they could make the stupidest character imaginable and then immediately market it and succeed. Thus the repeated instances of characters saying how worthless Towelie is, interspersed with advertisements for Towelie gear.
In another note, I've always considered this episode to be the finest spoof of the formula Dean Koontz uses in his novels to be found. 24.62.27.66 20:58, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: dude put a title next time 

message: Has anybody noticed the similarities with the film eXistenZ?
Story is grounded in the idea of a video-game; plot-twist after plot-twist (with the comments from characters "we don't care"); each side using the "protagonist" to "infiltrate" the other side?
Seeing the Dean Koontz reference, however, probably goes to show that this kind of formula is ubiquitous.

thread_title:  Comparison with "eXistenZ"

message: *There is a reference to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when Kyle is reaching for the Gamesphere while hanging above the magma.
*The 6 failed Towelie clones that they discover at the Military base are a reference to the failed Ellen Ripley clones from Alien Resurrection, especially the last one who says "kill me" repeatedly.
*Tynacorp is a take-off on the name of the real military supplier Dyncorp.
*"TNA", used to describe Towelie's composition several times, is a common phrase used in place of "tits and ass".
* The scene of the "trap" laid by the military to capture Towelie halfway through the episode is very similar to the scene where Takashi, "Number 26", is rescued at the beginning of the manga and anime Akira.

Talk:Tolowa language

message: Your information is very misleading, the Tolowa language has always been spoke in Northern California. The aboriginal lands for the Tolowa are from Wilson Creek in Northern California to Sixes River in Oregon. There have been several dictionaries written by Loren Bommelyn a Smith River Rancheria member and coucil member. Bud Lane took language lessons from Loren over several years. The Tolowa language has been taught by Loren at the Del Norte County High since 1980, and has been accepted as the foreign language requirement for higher ed in the State California College system. You need to list the correct people who are the leaders in language of tribes, it is not Bud Lane.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.118.52.75 (talk) 19:27, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: No, but "racism" is a very strong word to be tossing around like that - especially considering that I'm white myself, and also considering that I happen to specialise in the study of the languages of the Caucasus. For me, "white" is the natural word because "Caucasian" has a completely different connotation to me, viz. someone who was born in the Caucasus. While I won't get into a revert war over this, and while I accept the Wikipedia policy of not using the term, I also stand by my original wording of "white". "Caucasian" is as inaccurate as "white" is. I might not actually be as white as a piece of paper, but I'm sure as hell not actually a proper "Caucasian" either. I draw your attention to this phrase from the page Caucasian race: The term Caucasian race is used almost exclusively in North America.

The paragraph reads:
A dictionary of the language, with some 7,500 entries, was created after 15 years of research. It is based on both work with current speakers and notes from linguist Edward Sapir, taken almost a century ago. The dictionary, however, is a subject of controversy, with a number of Nuu-chah-nulth elders questioning the accuracy of the terminology, and the author's right to represent their language.
Should this be perhaps expanded and put in its own section, or should it be moved elsewhere (like the introduction)?

message: "IMF had a unique format of playing music videos almost exclusively which was in direct contrast to so-called music channels that dedicate very little programming time to actual music videos such as MTV, VH1, and FUSE."
I don't know about you, but that sounds extremely biased to me. "Direct contrast" to "so-called music channels" sounds a bit derogatory. I understand that you might not agree with the programming of MTV, VH1, and FUSE but that does not give anyone a right to accuse them. I mean, I don't watch any of those channels but there has to be neutrality here. In addition, there is no citation whatsoever in the first paragraph where this sentence is. 
Consider:
-Removing the sentence entirely; the paragraph remains its meaning. 
-Changing the whole sentence to, "IMF had a format of exclusively playing music videos as opposed to adding serial programs and interview shows as seen on channels such as MTV, VH1, and FUSE.
