Horror gone too far?
I’ve been following the by Australia while it horrifies others..
Friend Cinema Pscyho wrote up an article opposing the ban on the film, but not completely endorsing the scenes of simulated child rape..
I respect his opinion while I do not agree: I for one will not be lining up anywhere to see SERBIAN FILM—and even though I typically am against banning movies, the notion of this film makes me question my long-held views on freedom of expression..
Perhaps I have grown weak in my long years of life.. I have an eight-month-old son now, too.. a wife.. and a family. And my old days of horror movie watching and time wasting are gone.
Nonetheless.. .pushing the envelope is fine with me—and sometimes worth the effort to make a point. But pointless gore in a quest to freak out and disgust an audience — or even make a freaky audience happy with disgusting scenes—isn’t a positive way to pop my culture. I’ll be fine without seeing SERBIAN FILM..
Where is Pink Floyd when you need them.. Kids are going to be banned from blowing up balloons and blowing party whistles
And it is not an ONION article, but the real deal: This is true, unadulterated, and strange. The UK TELEGRAPH reports:
The EU toy safety directive, agreed and implemented by Government, states that balloons must not be blown up by unsupervised children under the age of eight, in case they accidentally swallow them and choke.
Safety first. Fun last. And freedom? …no consideration for that old thing.

This is a must read from the latimes:
Hostages of child prostitution: Las Vegas social worker Marisela Quintero tries to help girls who have all but sold their souls to pimps. Some run even when offered a way out. Others wind up dead.

Horrid .. and it actually make me physically ill. I’ve never believed in the death penalty.. but…………
I have no doubt this NY POST story has some bias, but it begs the question: Is an "aimless" Obama becoming Richard Nixon?
…stories similar to this popped up in the 70s.. could this White House feel so attacked that the only retreat the president has is isolation?

Oh...that Tumblr taste of victory.. when
…a porn-bot ‘reblogs’ your post just to direct visitors to their site. I’d compile a list of ‘don’t go tos’ but there would be just to many judging from how many people I blocked.
This is just how strong the 9.0 Japan quake was
Scientists say that the huge Japanese earthquake this year was enough to alter Earth’s gravity in that location! MORE: The researchers found the Tohoku-Oki quake reduced the gravity field there by an average of two- millionths of a gal by slightly thinning the Earth’s crust..
Complex megadisaster? ..The 9.0 Japan shake may have truck the atmosphere first!
Canary shakes
Earthquakes continue in the Canary Islands.. government issues new warnings over potential El Hierro volcano.. The island was shaken late Saturday by a 4.3-magnitude quake// there have been more 4.0 s and above recently..
Surface deformations exceeding 35mm on the 280-sqkm island, where residents have been put on alert for a possible volcanic eruption.. officials have been working to tell the population of the area that a quake is not imminent..
There have been roughy ten thousands earthquakes in recent weeks in the island chain—and vast amounts of internet rumors that a mega-tsunami would form if there is a quake, a fact challenged by many. Hope we never find out for sure..
STRANGE BOOMS
Mysterious booms alarming Pennsylvania town — it’s not a quake but it’s sure a shake ..
The booms began in June and have continued throughout the summer and now the autumn..
Fire companines and gas companies have responded with no one giving answers as to what the strange noises are..
The Harrisburg PA township said it has requested the help of the U.S. Geological Survey and state experts to investigate the occurrences and determine what is happening.
Even more: Dillsburg PA residents say the noises have been happening for three years now… What could it be? technology? advancing earth shakes? gas lines.. The noises are also occurring in many parts of the world ..
…it’s just that simple?
Want to look like Megan Fox? ..eat fruit.
I suppose with prices of fresh food these days, it’s no wonder she’s ‘too poor’ to have kids.
