Well, not all the theaters: the porn ones are the only theaters allowed to exhibit "Saw VI". The Ministry of Culture has rated X the movie. So, if you want to watch "Saw VI" in a big screen, you would have to go to a porn cinema and watch it after "Sasha Grey doubled fucked" and "Belladonna vs Nacho". At least, that's what the Goverment wants, they say that "Saw VI" promotes violence. In the States, Saw VI received a R rating, the same rating than the other Saw movies had received in Spain. Probably, the Government will rectify and "Saw 6" will finally be R-Rated.  Anyway, the distributor has cancelled the premiere for Spain.  Fucking politics.   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4393269655461581755-7643883737008652465?l=hushhushspain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hushhushspain.blogspot.com/feeds/7643883737008652465/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4393269655461581755&amp;postID=7643883737008652465&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4393269655461581755/posts/default/7643883737008652465'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4393269655461581755/posts/default/7643883737008652465'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hushhushspain.blogspot.com/2009/10/saw-6-xxx-movie-or-how-government-of.html' title='Saw 6: a XXX Movie (or how the government of Spain fucks up in every possible way)'/><author><name>Jess</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KSpjqnvS2Zs/SuNz5PhKtYI/AAAAAAAAFjE/aAXRX7tZGMM/s72-c/saw6.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393269655461581755.post-1330633457654642417</id><published>2009-07-30T20:25:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-07-30T20:43:27.939+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Law'/><title type='text'>Tough on crime (or why all those bastards must be executed)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I don't know if you know anything about a terrorist band called ETA. They are a group of organised killers that, in behalf the right of independece of the basque country (one of the regions of Spain), kill people. Yesterday they tried to kill a lot of police men in Burgos, while they were sleeping, with a bomb in the place where the police men and their families live. They failed and no one were seriously harmed. Today ETA has killed two police men in Mallorca. The politicians just appear on television saying that ETA will be defeated sooner or later. Obviously, it's hard to defeat a group of unconscious killers and I don't have the solution, but I think Spain should be tough on crime with these guys. &lt;strong&gt;I'm talking about death penalty, of course&lt;/strong&gt;. For them and for everybody who kill any other person (even if the killers are underage). I know hard penalties don't get lower crime rates, but some of them will think twice before comiting crimes and the rest will get what they deserve. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4393269655461581755-1330633457654642417?l=hushhushspain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hushhushspain.blogspot.com/feeds/1330633457654642417/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4393269655461581755&amp;postID=1330633457654642417&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4393269655461581755/posts/default/1330633457654642417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4393269655461581755/posts/default/1330633457654642417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hushhushspain.blogspot.com/2009/07/tough-on-crime-or-why-all-those.html' title='Tough on crime (or why all those bastards must be executed)'/><author><name>Jess</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393269655461581755.post-5709863531889502572</id><published>2009-07-29T20:30:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-07-29T20:36:41.606+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Videos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Terminator'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cinema'/><title type='text'>Terminator meets Jesus (or why having a time machine is the only way to believe in God)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I found this video on the Internet some years ago and I loved it.

I started a blog in which &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I pretended to be a 15 years old girl&lt;/span&gt; from Madrid. I looked for a picture of a nice girl on the Internet and I started to write. As you may guess (yes, sometimes I'm a little pervert) the posts were about her sexual life and the boys (and girls) that she liked. Every now and then, along the posts, I published a partially nude picture of the girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, at first it was only to have fun, but in a few weeks I achieved 200 visits per day. Then I checked the key words people have searched on the Internet to arrive to my blog. What people most wrote down on google was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"sin bragas"&lt;/span&gt; (without knickers, without panties). It was part of the first or second post, when I told how good it feels to go on bike without panties. Was incredible the amount of people who read the blog every day. And was also incredible check all the key words people looked for to find my blog. I don't remember all these words and I deleted the blog a long time ago. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I had a lot of fans&lt;/span&gt;, a lot of pervert fans that didn't like panties, but who love naked asses and puss...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was young, don't blame me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4393269655461581755-7209403252269562697?l=hushhushspain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hushhushspain.blogspot.com/feeds/7209403252269562697/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4393269655461581755&amp;postID=7209403252269562697&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4393269655461581755/posts/default/7209403252269562697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4393269655461581755/posts/default/7209403252269562697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hushhushspain.blogspot.com/2009/05/sexy-blog-or-how-i-realised-that-net.html' title='Sexy blog (or how I realised that net surfers don&apos;t like panties)'/><author><name>Jess</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KSpjqnvS2Zs/Sh_JWzAeBHI/AAAAAAAAEG4/UunjFgWwOEQ/s72-c/normal_chicas.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393269655461581755.post-4794863664008752301</id><published>2009-05-22T01:25:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-22T01:28:05.515+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barcelona'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Madrid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Me'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Love'/><title type='text'>I'm going to Madrid (I used to live there, now my heart lives there)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In a few hours I'm going to Madrid.

It's funny (interesting) how japanese artists are really good at creating tender and contraditory characters with goodness (benignity) as their main feature (characteristic). &lt;strong&gt;Arale (I used to think it was Arare) was completely innocent (naïve, simple-hearted).

Dr. Slump (Senbei Norimaki) himself, his loved and dream girl Miss Yamabuki, the lovely Arale, Obotchaman, Akane and Taro, the oriental family, the little character with wings and green hair who always was with Arale (ok, I don't remember the name, xD), the head nut teacher, the two aliens (amazing characters, their ass was in their head near to the antennas which were their nose) and, of course, one of the best, Suppaman (Superman menja prunes, in catalan), that cheesy (parodic) Superman who never makes anything right. (&lt;strong&gt;Do you remember when Son Goku went there in a Dragon Ball episode?, I love it&lt;/strong&gt;). Nowadays there are not tv series like Dr. Slump. I'm part of a lucky generation. &lt;strong&gt;Oh! I forgot!

I figure that people from abroad (of Europe) don't know what Eurovision is. It's a song contest organized by state (public) TVs channels of Europe that begun in 1956. &lt;strong&gt;A lot of people think it is something out of fashion, but I like it (well, sometimes)&lt;/strong&gt;. Nowadays, &lt;strong&gt;almost all the countries sing in English although it is not their mother tongue. I don't know why, I suppose it's more commercial. It would be great if every country perform its tipical music&lt;/strong&gt;, now all the songs are quite similar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 243px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KSpjqnvS2Zs/Sg9TGEH2FQI/AAAAAAAAEF4/mriGght6MkE/s320/soray.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336575447108293890" /&gt;Anyway, I'm not here to discuss how it should be. &lt;strong&gt;I just wanted to note the way the winner is decided&lt;/strong&gt;. People of each country vote by phone the song (country) they liked the most (they can't vote their own country). However, &lt;strong&gt;the musical reasons are not often used&lt;/strong&gt;. If you watch the contest every year, you will notice that usually each country vote certain countries. The countries of the Former &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union"&gt;Soviet Union&lt;/a&gt; usually vote among each other, and the same happen with the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_states"&gt;baltic states&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries"&gt;nordic countries&lt;/a&gt;... &lt;strong&gt;Each country vote for affinity with other countries, not for musical reasons!!!&lt;/strong&gt; Maybe it's logical, but I'm from Spain and I won't vote France or Portugal just because they are my neighbours. But it happens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KSpjqnvS2Zs/Sg9TRaEzugI/AAAAAAAAEGA/35ISKhFzA2o/s320/HiRes200810310846388515259_soraya_big1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336575641979697666" /&gt;The (gorgeous) girl you can see along these lines is &lt;strong&gt;Soraya Arnelas&lt;/strong&gt;, this year's contestant from Spain. Her song wasn't better or worse that the others but it doesn't really matter. Almost any country has voted Soraya, she was the last on the list until Andorra, our closest neighbour, decided to give her the highest score, 12 points. Why? Just because we are neighbours (and, to be honest, because Soraya is as famous in Spain as in Andorra). No country liked Soraya, but Andorra decided that she was the best. Totally illogical. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;What do you think? You, people of the United States, would vote Canada and Mexico? Or you, people of China, would vote Japan and Mongolia? Well, just this, as you can see, nothing important. I just wanted to notice this. &lt;strong&gt;Anyway, don't you think Soraya is totally gorgeous??&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KSpjqnvS2Zs/Sg9TZHCLI-I/AAAAAAAAEGI/lZAyZJPn3WY/s400/7547751.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336575774307328994" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4393269655461581755-4126467284133765376?l=hushhushspain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hushhushspain.blogspot.com/feeds/4126467284133765376/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4393269655461581755&amp;postID=4126467284133765376&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4393269655461581755/posts/default/4126467284133765376'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4393269655461581755/posts/default/4126467284133765376'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hushhushspain.blogspot.com/2009/05/eurovision-song-contest-or-why-andorra.html' title='Eurovision Song Contest (or why does Andorra like the Spanish singers)'/><author><name>Jess</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KSpjqnvS2Zs/Sg9RCKZfvrI/AAAAAAAAEFo/XWSk4QQt2rM/s72-c/soraya%2Barnelas.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393269655461581755.post-5148083569628638044</id><published>2009-05-16T00:29:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-16T12:46:29.478+02:00</updated><title type='text'>First Post (yes, I'm quite obvious)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;This is my blog. In this blog you will find (almost) anything. Well, anything I want, of course. Any topic could have its place here and everything will be written down in English. I'm from Spain, so you'll probably read a lot of language mistakes here. But doesn't matter, I'm doing this just to have fun and improve my English.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Oh! Wait! You are wondering about the blog's name? Well, today I learnt that the expression Hush-hush means&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Definition:&lt;br /&gt;Very secret&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example:&lt;br /&gt;1) The operation was so hush-hush that even the commanding officer didn't know all of the details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Let's keep that information hush-hush, OK ?&lt;br /&gt;Etymology 'Hush' means 'quiet'. So something that is 'hush-hush' should not be discussed or exposed in public. This phrase dates back to World War I, when it referred to military secrets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;so... if it's something that should not be exposed in public it is a perfect tittle for a weblog, where everything could be read by everyone. Not an Oxymoron, but almost. I'm quite contradictory, it is a healthy way of life. Start here. Please, leave your comments; no matter the language.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4393269655461581755-5148083569628638044?l=hushhushspain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hushhushspain.blogspot.com/feeds/5148083569628638044/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4393269655461581755&amp;postID=5148083569628638044&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4393269655461581755/posts/default/5148083569628638044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4393269655461581755/posts/default/5148083569628638044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hushhushspain.blogspot.com/2009/05/first-post-yes-im-quite-obvious.html' title='First Post (yes, I&apos;m quite obvious)'/><author><name>Jess</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
