Trailer for Saw V... scarier than Philly area haunted houses?
Submitted by jstudent on Fri, 2008-09-26 18:50.
Of course, the real scary thing is that a studio has decided to make a Saw V. The teaser line they are using is...You won't believe how it ends... Actually, we won't believe that it ends, SINCE THE FIRST FOUR DID NOT.
Saw V is in theaters Oct. 24.
Since it will stop raining at some point this weekend, Philly EDGE figures the fall-like weather might put you in the mood to seek out a local haunted attraction. Try finding one at FrightFile, our sister site.

One of our favorite things about Philadelphia (by far) has had a tough week.
First, dude got booed for dropping a foul ball at The Bank AND THEN he was implicated in a potential terrorist attack involving spicy, processed meat and a hydraulic cannon that is presumably registered in his name.

News to Reuse: Pennsylvania’s new lottery game: Penispalooza
Submitted by jstudent on Thu, 2008-09-25 13:21.
The Pennsylvania Lottery, which is sort-of a state-run engine of capitalist class containment marketed as the last, best hope for PA. working class folks to somehow afford dental coverage while it helps “programs that benefit older residents” (though it effectively creates a closed-loop by attracting many elderly “players,” skimming profits and then returning the money to said programs that the elderly NOW really need - because they have less money after being conned into playing the lottery out of hope/despair for some financial security),
Suspicious packages (OF HOT DOGS) found outside Citizens Bank Park; Phils game still on

...The Philadelphia Bomb Squad has responded to outside Citizens Bank Park for reports of several suspicious packages, forcing a partial evacuation of the stadium.

According to officials, three packages were found wrapped in duct tape near a ticket office....
McCain suspends campaign, asks to delay debates, 'til financial crisis is addressed (UPDATE: Obama called him first.)
Submitted by jstudent on Wed, 2008-09-24 15:38.
No. Really. He did. (phillyBurbs via AP)
…In a statement, McCain says he will stop campaigning after addressing former President Bill Clinton's Global Initiative session on Thursday and return to Washington to focus on the nation's financial problems.
McCain also said he wants President Bush to convene a leadership meeting in Washington. Both he and Obama would attend the session….
<lets it digest>
Okay. This is…
- …bullshit. No one person can solve this crisis. Not even if you put Alan Greenspan’s brain inside Chuck Norris’ head and gave him Warren Buffett’s money.
- …shrewd. By instigating this action from a position of apparent selflessness, McCain is seen as a leader; someone who is concerned about the status of the economy over his own personal goals and interests.
- …pragmatic. Think about the undecideds: this plays as well, if not better, than the Palin choice did with them.
- …a no-risk choice. Even if it's a sham- which it is- what does he have to lose? He is an underdog in the debates. And if the media calls him on it: “It’s the liberal media, again.”

First Person Arts, the Philly cultural and communicative org dedicated to facilitating personal story-telling is bringing the Complaint Choir, the Scandinavian-born gripe concerts-gone global, to Philadelphia.
The concept is fairly simple: a collective of people air their complaints, which are gathered and arranged and then paired with a musical score (in Philly’s case, one from Evan Solot). The finished product should be a little like this one in Chicago…
