A sign company has decided not to accept advertising that decried LeBron James’s refusal to speak out against China human rights abuses.
The National Legal and Policy Center (Nlpc) in Virginia wanted to post images showing James with a Chinese flag covering his mouth with the message, “Silence is Violence.” If approved, the billboards would have been displayed near the entrance to the NBA Bubble in Orlando, Florida, where James’s Lakers are facing off against the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.
The Outfront Media advertising company declined the ads, which would have brought in a reported “hundreds of thousands” of dollars. The ad company said it would only run the ads without James’s Image.
The Nlpc said the ads sent an important message. Peter Flaherty, chairman of the Nlpc, said, “When it comes to human rights in China, silence is indeed violence. We should be able...

Stars: Damien Lipp, Stephanie Mauro, Tristen Barr, Sophie Wright, Tilly Legge, Lliam Murphy, Janet Watson Kruse, Peter Flaherty | Written and Directed by Dale Trott
Beckoning the Butcher follows the story of Chris (Lipp), an online vlogger who finds ghost summoning rituals and films himself doing them. Becoming more and more desperate for ideas, he turns to his brother for help and is given a ritual for beckoning the butcher. Along with his girlfriend Tara (Mauro), his best friend Brent (Barr) and two friends Nicole (Wright) and Lorraine (Legge), they take a trip up to an old house Brent knew was free in the outback to perform the ritual, which required them each to sign their name on a piece of paper and add their blood, which Tara refuses to add. The ritual seems to be a dud and they almost give up when Brent hears some strange sounds…
This film genuinely freaked me out.
