I was going to ask who the odd looking, short, white-guy standing next to David Mack was...

There's actually quite a few more (around a total of 8 I believe), though some do rehash some of the previous filmed material. Not all of them were originally released, and one or two of them were filmed and released a few years after the originals.
For those interested, the actor who portrays Terry Tate is also the voice of Cole Train in the Gears of War video game, in which he also refers to the pain train.
Great stuff!!

Terry Tate (aka Mighty Rasta, aka Lester Speight) told me at this year's Comic-Con that there is a "Terry Tate: Office Linebacker" feature film in the works.
He looks a bit like Rhino from the original version of Gladiators on ITV many years ago!
I thought he liked it when one would wear high heels and step on his ... "pride and glory" ...
According to a friend and former boss of mine who is of that ethnicity, the preferred term is "African-American," whether or not the person has ever been to Africa. I'm not sure what he wants me to call a similarly-complexioned person who is from, say, the United Kingdom, and has also never been to Africa...but there you go....
Actually, from my experience, this "name sensitivity" differs from individual to individual. And it actually depends on who is making the comment.
Take the "Justice Brothers". Y'know: Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton.
The problem here is that people like them are really sensitive to words, finding racial slurs where they do not exist!
(The irony is: They seem to have no real problem with using words that they just condemned white people for using!
Case in point: When Jackson used the N-word some time back (and got slammed for it), Al noted that he and his buddies use it quite a bit in private.
Or take Ol' Jeremiah Wright: "I AM SICK OF N____S WHO JUST DON'T GET IT!!!", shortly after he said, "HILARRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...AIN'T NEVER BEEN CALLED A N_____!!!")
On the OTHER hand, there are those who don't really give a rat's rear end about what you call them (as long as it's clean, of course).
Take Uhura. In "Savage Curtain", Lincoln unthinkingly uses the feminine N-word. After he gives his embarrased apology, Uhura makes it clear that she is not offended. "In our century," she notes, "We don't fear words."
The guys I mentioned above could learn a heck of a lot from this girl.
This is so true.
Having been a computer-IT tech since as far back as the computer and internet first came along, myself and the various colleagues I worked with over the years spent more time and effort trying to educate people on this than I care to try and calculate.
There's something almost cute about someone pretending to be the voice of reason on racist language while using a name inspired by a racist windbag and still using a signature file that insults people who disagree with him politically.
There, I went for the bait. What do you have in mind for the next step in the process?

Cute isn't the word that comes to my mind but I'm sure our sentiments are the same.
Nice M*A*S*H reference.
Simple. Hook...line...sinker!
"Racist". How so?
There's a saying among NASCAR fans: "You only hate #24...beacuse your driver can't seem to beat him!"
In the same way, all this talk about Rush bein' racist all stems from the fact that his opponents can't beat him with reason. So they invent this hogwash that all white right-wingers are racists, and all black right-wingers (such as J.C. Watts and Thomas Sowell) are "traitors".
C'mon. It's one thing to prove that someone's a racist, with cold, hard facts (such as Malcolm X, and his "Black Supremecy" sermons.). It's another to play the race card just because the other guy is a confident, assertive bloke who disagrees with you!
Case in point: When the Clinton campaign kept playing th race card on Obama (to say nothing on all that idiocy about Barack not being "black enough"), Rush was defending him. "They are mad," he noted, "because an African-American was able to get this far without their help!"
He also noted, "I don't deny that Barrack is a pretty cool guy. He's charming, he's charismatic, he trancends race, and all that --BUT, he is a liberal."
If you doubt me, check his website, and look up the archives.
Rush's criticisms of Obama are purely on issues. They are not, nor have they ever been, racism.
And as for my signature: "Just Words! Just Speaches!"
And: "In our century, we do not fear words."
Now, on the subject of words...let us now return to the topic....
Rush, drop it. This is about fan manners, not racial (or not) comments.
Gladly....
Thanks, Doc!
