The entertainment site, alltrue.com shows four-minute movies of things young men might like to e-mail one another, though, Tim assured me, it wouldn't include porn, sports or stock quotes. I already saw a major flaw in his business plan. Then he showed me a clip of a guy being wheeled into surgery with a bowie knife embedded in his skull.
