LaVena Johnson
Culture Buzz When the body of the Private First Class was returned to her parents in Missouri from Iraq, LaVena Johnson's father called bullsh*t on the Army's claim that her death was the result of a suicide. Footage clearly indicates that, in reality, Johnson was likely beaten, raped and murdered (in fact, a trail of blood was photographed outside her tent). The Army, however, has refused to provide further information regarding the case, proving that, even in an "army of one," it's not hard for a soldier to be easily forgotten if she isn't a white male (or, better yet, a star football player).

Spike Vs. Clint
Movie Buzz A war of words between Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood. Lee criticized Eastwood for not having any black actors in his Iwo Jima movies, so Clint responded with, "A guy like him should shut his face." Game on! And no, this definitely has nothing to do with generating Oscar buzz.

Grand Theft Auto Erotica
Tech Buzz The sex in the new version of Grand Theft Auto isn't even hidden. Apparently the video games rating board saw and signed off on all the simulated sex in Grand Theft Auto IV. That isn't stopping one of the game's chief foes, Jack Thompson, is trying to get the game pulled from the shelves.

Fitna
Culture Buzz A controversial anti-Koran film is leaked to the web. Made by Dutch politician Geert Wilders - leader of the country's conservative PVV Party - Fitna links violent images to the text of the Koran, and stirred up debate in the Netherlands before its release. After no Dutch television station would agree to release it in its entirety, Wilders said he'd "rather have it entirely on the Internet, than half on television."
