5:34Now Playing"DC Entertainment has reversed its earlier decision, and will now allow Superman's shield to appear on a memorial statue of murdered 5-year-old Jeffrey Baldwin, the Toronto Star reports. The original story is below.
Superman's "S" is one of the most valuable trademarks DC Comics owns, so the company certainly isn't going to let it appear in a memorial for any old 5-year-old who was abused and starved to death by his grandparents. That's just bad business.
Jeffrey Baldwin and his three siblings were sent to live with their grandparents in Toronto to give their "young and problematic" mom and dad a break, the Toronto Star reported. They were reportedly beaten, locked in cold rooms, and forced to drink out of a toilet. When Jeffrey died in 2002, at age 5, he weighed just 21 pounds."

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
