Fermilab magnet failure pushes back research goals

That the work of an internationally renowned artist can be pulled from a gallery in Manhattan – arguably the most liberal city in the US – is an indication of the power that organised religion wields within the country.

“Tron” movie called “sensitive” by Homeland Security, must be pulled from shelves

Is “Tron” really showing enough revealing scenes from a demolished fusion research facility that it needs to be pulled as containing too much sensitive security information? There is very scant backup on this article, and all the buzz seems to be using it as the source material. IT seems weird enough to be true, especially considering how superficial and slapdash our security efforts seem.

Reports are emerging from members of the movie industry that the Department of Homeland Security has designated the 1982 film TRON as “sensitive”, and ordered Walt Disney Studios to turn over all copies of the film in its possession. Retailers are also receiving notices to remove all copies of the film from stock shelves and turn them over to Federal officials. The reports have industry insiders bewildered and outraged.

However, I think I’ll call BS on this one as just deleting the offending scene or deliberately blurring it in the digital remaster would do the job as well. Besides, they’ll never be able to collect every copy of this movie. Are they going to call it a criminal act if they find one in someone’s possession later?

The bigger question: Is this an EARLY APRIL FOOL’S GAG?? If so, why?
