Isaac Hayes likely died of stroke
Isaac Hayes apparently died of a stroke, officials with the sheriff's department said Tuesday.
The deep-voiced soul singer died Sunday after he was found unconscious at his Memphis residence. No autopsy was performed, but paperwork filed by Hayes' family physician, Dr. David Kraus, lists the cause of death as a stroke, sheriff's spokesman Steve Shular said Tuesday.
Deputies were among the emergency crews that responded after a 911 call, and sheriff's department detectives were looking into the death. Kraus told investigators that he had been treating Hayes, 65, for high blood pressure, Shular said.
Family members found Hayes lying on the floor of his home beside a treadmill that was still switched on.
Meanwhile, a memorial service will be Monday at Hope Presbyterian Church in Cordova from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
His family issued a statement Tuesday, saying: "While he was an iconic figure to many, to us he was husband, father and friend. We will ever miss his love, wisdom, humor and the familiar comfort of his voice."
The baldheaded crooner, who laid the groundwork for disco and whose "Theme From Shaft" won both Academy and Grammy awards, was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. He also acted in movies and provided the voice of Chef, the school cook, on the animated TV show "South Park."
He had recently finished work on the upcoming movie "Soul Men," in which he played himself. The movie stars Samuel Jackson and Bernie Mac, who died on Saturday.
Hayes was hospitalized in 2006 for treatment of exhaustion, family friends said at the time. Isaac Hayes apparently died of a stroke, officials with the sheriff's department said Tuesday. ... more -

How to fix the internet (according to South Park)
In the fantastic South Park episode last night ("Did you guys see the ghost?") most of the nation was without internet. What does such an internet-connected society do when faced with such a technological dilemma? Face the giant Linksys router that controls all traffic in the country. And do This (see video at the link). Something we're sure you're all familiar with. But seriously guys, did you see the ghost? It ran through here.

Miley is the new Britney
Looks like South Park nailed it last week. The paparazzi media seemed to have moved on from current train wreck Britney Spears and on to the fresh-faced 15-year old pop tart Miley Cyrus.
So, who wants to bet on how long it will take Miley to unravel and take a leap off the deep end? I give her 9 months. Looks like South Park nailed it last week. The paparazzi media seemed to have moved on from current train wreck Britney Spears and on... more -

South Park characters get HIV/AIDS
When ads for this past Wednesday’s season premiere of Comedy Central’s hit animated series South Park hinted that foulmouthed 8-year-old star Eric Cartman would be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, few fans were surprised when it turned out to be HIV. After all, show creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker haven’t exactly shied away from AIDS-related punch lines over the Emmy-winning show’s 11-year run. A March 2002 episode, in fact, declared that it was finally OK to laugh at the disease. However, Wednesday’s episode, “Tonsil Trouble,” examined AIDS in a slightly more serious light…without skimping on the toilet humor.

Watch Every South Park Episode Ever Online
Every single South Park episode that's floating around the internet - all collected together and in one place.
The site's legal disclaimer raises an interesting point:
"ALLSP does not contain any content on its site, but is merely an index of available links on the Internet. ALLSP is committed to an industry solution that will provide a mechanism to compensate artists that create the work you enjoy watching. ALLSP would like to be part of the long term solution. "
Because ALLSP isn't actually hosting the episodes, they reckon they're fine but as the closure of tv-Links.co.uk showed, the authorities are cracking down on sites like these - especially in election years.
Could sites like ALLSP ultimately benefit artists by sharing some of the advertising money with the content creators or should we just accept it's free reign on the internet now and people are able to share and find anything they like and enjoy it without paying? Leave a comment and let us know.
