Hollywood, CA – For a time Dan Aykroyd was one of the biggest stars on the planet. A breakout star from the heyday of Saturday Night Live, Aykroyd started to build a film formidable career starring such hits as ‘The Blues Brothers’ and ‘Trading Places’. All that though was simply a precursor to the events of 1984. That year saw the release of ‘Ghostbusters’, a film that made Aykroyd into a true movie star and provided the world with a film that would stand the test of time and entertain for generations to come.

Washington, D.C. – It may seem that in recent years the occurrence of the so-called ‘Douchebag’ has increased dramatically. The surge in popular appearances of people such as Jon Gosselin and Michael Lohan, as well as a growing web culture centered on the phenomenon has dramatically increased awareness of the particular caste of modern society. Douchebags though are nothing new and though it may appear as though they have dramatically increased in numbers, new research indicates that it is simply the awareness of such individuals that has increased, not the number.

Cairo, Egypt – Desertion is something militaries have been fighting since the beginning of armed conflict. Whether it’s young men and women suddenly losing their nerve or officers balking at the prospect of an unwinnable battle, soldiers suddenly leaving the field of battle and their commitment to the army has plagued commanders from the ancient fields of Mesopotamia to the modern day conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Frequently such incidents end poorly for the people who have decided to depart, facing at the very least discharges and at worst court martial. Still, defectors continue to appear through all military forces. Scrape TV

Berlin, Germany – The Cold War was without a doubt one of the most defining elements of the most significant centuries in the history of the human species.

The greatest symbol of that conflict was of course the Berlin Wall and its collapse was, fittingly, the symbolic end of the Cold War, and event that helped to alter the face of Europe and the world forever.

Arcadia, CA – The struggle for equal rights is something that will seemingly never come to a firm resolution. In the United States that battle has been fought based on race, gender, and in recent years on sexual orientation. Great strides have been made of course; Women’s suffrage resulted in the vote and a closer parity in pay and social responsibility; the abolition of slavery and eventually segregation laid the ground work for the election of a black President; the redefinition of marriage continues unabated across the country.

Battle Creek, MI – The quest for immortality has been around as long as human beings have understood the limits to our time on the planet. In recent years that quest has added things like plastic surgery and cryogenic freezing in an effort to extend one’s existence, something that thus far has not yet been achieved. Human beings though do live much longer than our ancestors. Advances in medical science have pushed the average life expectancy ever higher and some recent work indicates that in the very near future life may be extended indefinitely. Scrape TV

Las Vegas, NV – There are few scandals as despised in professional sports as those that arise from gambling on the outcome of games. Perhaps seen as an affront to the perception of fairness, bettors intimately involved in the sport have routinely received much harsher punishment than those convicted of more severe social crimes. The 1919 Chicago White Sox are perhaps the most famous example of the vengeance of sports on those who would disrupt to piety of the sport, though others have followed. Names such as Pete Rose, Alex Karras, and even Michael Jordan are just a few that have been to subject of such investigations. Scrape TV
