A film and television production company called Overboork Entertainment, formed by Will Smith, is working on a TV series for FX that will be a drama
focused on a straight edge crew. Jada, Smith's Wife, came up with the idea; I guess her stint in the music biz has given her a lot of insight in what
it means to be Straight Edge. The show is untitled and will revolve around Courage Crew an SxE crew from Ohio. I have no idea what to expect, and I
don't want to assume the worst, but I doubt that it will be posi considering that most news and info about Courage Crew revolves around them allegedly
beating up people that aren't edge.MyOwnWay - 10-29-2007 at 10:36 AM

YA they do some damage. KInd of a off shoot of FSU but even more annoying. Mostly they are around COLUMBUS, YOUNGSTOWN, DAYTON, CINCI, Not so much in
Clevo, but some people claim it around here. At least in the bathrooms with graffitti. I don't know anyone.Jason the Magnificent - 10-29-2007 at 01:14 PM

I think it started because Jada (Wills wife) is into metal and hardcore as odd as that sounds. She was going to Oz Fest a few years back.clevohardcore - 10-29-2007 at 01:23 PM
Hey man. Who knows? Will Smith was good in SHARK TALES.XHonusWagnerX - 10-29-2007 at 01:28 PM
Militant Straightedge (aka “Hate Edge”) - While most straightedge members chose the lifestyle for personal reasons and are largely concerned with how
they lead their own lives, some “militant” members feel that the entire world should agree with them. They adhere to oppressive slogans such as “bring
back prohibition” and are known for hateful and anti-social acts such as violently assaulting strangers leaving bars. These groups often choose names
including words like “courage”, “honor”, and “discipline”, suffixed with “crew”, giving the public impression that they are a “gang” or militia unit
(the literal “Courage Crew”, who the media often pins much of the blame on, encourage their members to be physically imposing and become proficient in
“self defence” skills — whether this is an offensive or defensive strategy depends on who you talk to). Instead of focussing on their own problems
(and successes, other than edge in and of itself) they focus on the “war” they perceive is going on between those who drink and those who do not.
A number of governments, including the United States, consider forms of militant straightedge a terrorist or cult movement akin to eco-terrorism. Many
members glorify the violence by choosing tattoos and icons of brass knuckles, knives, guns, and bats, often festooned with straightedge slogans, while
dressing like ‘terrorists’ or ‘guerrillas’ with bandanas hiding their faces and so on. There is a strong neo-nazi element, and their community often
suffers from other hate disorders such as homophobia and racism, sometimes echoing oft-co-opted working-class iconography such as the white
pride/power movement’s Hammerskins crossed hammers logo. What’s interesting about hate edge is that it’s almost come full circle from where it all
started. Straightedge was “founded” in part to combat the nihilism of early punk, but hate edge embraces this nihilism. It should be noted that sXe
founder Ian MacKaye — who has repeatedly said it’s “not about rules” and you can still have an occasional beer (it’s about having a clean life, not
blindly following) — doesn’t think much of where sXe has gone.clevohardcore - 10-29-2007 at 01:31 PM
YA I'd say I agree with Ian. It is rediculous. Its been hijacked.JawnDiablo - 10-29-2007 at 02:11 PM

Her band is the worst pile of shit ever. They got booed really badly during their sets when they bought their way on to play ozzfest.DaveMoral - 10-29-2007 at 05:27 PM
^Everyone buys their way onto OzzFest. Everyone. Hundred thousand at least.
Now, as for this shit. What the fuck?
Courage Crew got punked out by Hardline in 99, they recently got punked out by FSU in Cali. These dudes are douche bags who have only ever picked on
other straight edgers critical of their bullshit attitude that they percieve to be in a weaker position than they are(which was usually the case cuz
they'd jump on dudes 30 to 1). It'd be one thing if they had some sort of coherent ideology.. but their shit is just prick waving, no fucking point
what so ever.MikeCore - 10-29-2007 at 06:14 PM
This is a REALLY bad and VERY early April Fools joke, right?moforn - 10-29-2007 at 08:22 PM

This is gonna suck really bad. Should be good for a few laughs.XnMeX - 10-29-2007 at 09:52 PM
This reminds me of an old rumor that went around that Puff Daddy was gonna do a cover of Earth Crisis "Firestorm" (i believe that was the track). But
unfortunatly, this rumor seems true lol.Muttley - 10-29-2007 at 11:50 PM
She actually filmed Bury Your Dead when they were on Ozzfest together and was gonna pitch that as a show, I don't know what ever happened with that.DAK - 10-30-2007 at 09:14 AM
