17. • During an anti-American protest in Seoul in 2002 ‘X’, smashed a
model American tank live on stage. He first held the tank above his
head, before throwing it to the floor and violently breaking it up
with a microphone stand. The demonstration happened during
strong anti-American sentiment in the country after a 50-tonne US
armoured vehicle killed two 14-year-old girls, Shim Mi-seon and Shin
Hyo-sun.
• These anti-american sentiments were clear in his songs. An initial
translation of the lyrics was posted by an iReporter unto CNN's
iReport site.Some of the lyrics sung by him have been translated by
CNN as follows: "Kill those fucking Yankees who have been torturing
Iraqi captives and those who ordered them to torture," and "Kill [the
Yankees'] daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers / Kill
them all slowly and painfully.“

19. Did x, who believed in the prevailing power of love, ever fall
in love himself?
My truthful answer to you... I always thought of x as gay.
[ovation.] X fell in love with______, and that added to his
horror when ________showed himself to be what he was. To
an extent, do we say it excused x a little more because falling
in love can blind us to an extent? But, he met someone as
brilliant as he was, and rather like_______ he was very drawn
to this brilliant person, and horribly, terribly let down by him.
Yeah, that's how I always saw x. In fact, recently I was in a
script read, and they had x saying a line to _______early in the
script saying I knew a girl once, whose hair... [laughter]. I had
to write a little note in the margin and slide it along to the
scriptwriter, “x's gay!" [laughter] If I'd known it would make
you so happy, I would have announced it years ago!

25. • There are varying accounts of how the Dutch named ‘X’.A
generally accepted version is that the name of the street was
derived from an earthen wall on the northern boundary of
the New Amsterdam settlement, perhaps to protect against
English colonial encroachment or incursions by native
Americans. Later, on behalf of the Dutch West India
Company, Peter Stuyvesant, helped in the construction of a
more substantial fortification, a strengthened 12-foot (4 m)
wall. The wall started at Pearl Street, which was the
shoreline at that time, crossing the Indian path Broadway
and ending at the other shoreline (today's Trinity Place),
where it took a turn south and ran along the shore until it
ended at the old fort . ’X’ was laid along this wall. In those
days, local merchants and traders would gather at ‘X’ to buy
and sell shares and bonds , something which occurs even
today but at a much broader sense.

43. • ‘X’ was founded in London in 1961 by english labour lawyer , Peter
Benenson. According to his own account, he was travelling in the
London Underground on 19 November 1960, when he read of two
Portuguese students from Coimbra who had been sentenced to
seven years of imprisonment in Portugal for allegedly “having
drunk a toast to liberty” by the then portugese government which
was authoritarian in nature and strongly anti-communist
.Following this “the observer” published Benenson’s famous article
‘The forgotten prisoners’.
• The article brought the reader's attention to those "imprisoned,
tortured or executed because his opinions or religion are
unacceptable to his government .After this an appeal for ‘X’ was
published by many newspapers.In july 1961
this led to the foundation of ‘X’ as a permanent organisation.I.D. ‘X’

2008 and had developed an absurd comic style

character where he is mime in a pink body suit

dancing in Miller’s bedroom to an obscure piece
of electronic dance music: “X” by a little-known
DJ called Harry Rodrigues, or “Baauer.” Miller’s

indeed has already begun to re-direct Internet traffic,
using X’ federally registered “X” trademark as the
centerpiece of Facebook’s new product offering going
forward, a move that, given the size and reach of Y, will
essentially eliminate X and leave the public with the
confusing impression that plaintiff X is somehow
affiliated with Y. In the event that Y is permitted to
move forward with release of its “X” product offering,
