AirAsia QZ8501: Debris and dead bodies discovered

The missing plane suddenly is not missing.. Floating corpses have been found..


AirAsia QZ8501: Debris and dead bodies discovered
"My heart is filled with sadness for all the families involved in QZ 8501," AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes tweeted Tuesday after Indonesian authorities said they’d found debris that was most likely from the missing plane. "On behalf of AirAsia my condolences to all. Words cannot express how sorry I am," Fernandes said.

The 15 is ready.
Are we?

There have been a lot of folks ‘down’ on New Years lately—people are taking the approach that staying in is better than going out. And I completely get that. The notion of sharing a night with amateurs who pronounce Filet Mignon as “fill it mig nun” isn’t too appealing. 


However, take a peek back in time .. MASHABLE put together a nifty set of photos that showcases new years in Times Square since the 1930s..


From shirts and ties, tuxedos and top hats, to the more modern attire at the affair, just being a part of Times Square in New York is cool. Sure there may be no place to urinate, except the street you’re standing.. and yes it’s cold and you get hungry.. and of course on TEE VEE you can see Ryan Seacrest up close, but he is wearing too much makeup anyway.


Being apart of New York on New Years is being a part of history, raising the glass to times gone and singing Auld Lang Syne to a new time, one that hopefully brings with it good moments and profits of the wallet and spirit.


Do what you want to on new years eve.. but do it because you want to, not because talking heads without brains tell you what to do.. 


Maybe your local watering hole.. a church.. a library. Do they have libraries in 2015?? Or maybe a casino.. I don’t know.  


Maybe watch the Twilight Zone marathon.


Heck, maybe Times Square.


Either way raise the cup of cheer and sing in a new year..

Michael Savage takes on new broadcast role: Life coach and ‘wise father’


Michael Savage is changing things .. The fiery talk show host who many hate is changing his style.. the conservative host said he will continue to talk about news when needed, but his 2015 format will be featuring a “wise father” attempt at giving advice and life coaching.. 


Even more, Savage said that he will also have “unprotected talk”—unscreen open lined, a-la-Art Bell..


Even more, Savage has coined the term ‘unprotected talk’ and copyrighted it for its protection.. 


It’s hard to think of Dr. Savage as Oprah.. Especially when you consider the call that got Savage fired from MSNBC..


But hey. It’s all about marketing.


Michael Savage takes on new broadcast role: Life coach and ‘wise father’

The newest movement is all about free movement..


A video now out online called FREE THE NIPPLE is about a group of feminists who want to end censorship of the female nipple. BUZZFEED is reporting on it as well.. lots of people are.


But the one report I saw about this whole movement shocked me a little too much.. Apparently Miley Cyrus joined in the movement. She wants her nipples free as well. But in doing so, she posted photographs on her INSTAGRAM account showcasing images of her as a child superimposed on women with larger breasts.. Although she did practice what she preached with an actual nude photograph of herself on INSTAGRAM..


The campaign has drawn the attention of Rihanna, Lena Dunham, Liv Tyler and Scout Willis. Although at this point they have not superimposed their child faces onto nude women.

The stock sales conspiracy theories are made of

The AirAsia flight vanishing act is going to be just as controversial and weird as the Malaysian jetliner from earlier in 2014.. and adding to that: Stock options and a CEO dumping all of his days before an AirAsia plane disappeared..


This is how the story got started.. On December 26—before flight QZ8501 fell somewhere to the earth—it was reported that AirAsia CEO Tony Ferdandes dumped over 944,000 shares of stock.. 


Then it gets weirder (as it so often does when you deal with reality) .. A report has been spreading online concerning a mysterious and unnamed Chinese blogger who apparently warned to avoid AirAsia flights, warning that upcoming planes would be targeted by ‘powerful’ forces..


Then the AirAsia flight vanishes. We are told that bad weather forced an abrupt turnaround. It fell off the radar.. 162 people were on board..


This after an AirAsia magazine said that one of its flights would ‘never get lost’ .. 


In the aftermath of the flight loss, AirAsia stock is being hit hard..  it has dropped the most since 2011. 


The loss of the light is forcing the media to look at Tony Fernandes.. the spotlight is now on the CEO.The Financial Express is reporting some in depth information on him, including his ability to play drums and keyboards and come up with provocative advertising that used misogynist references.. But the publication didn’t mention the stock dump that happened days earlier. 


And based off of the whole event some news media sources are actually reporting some conspiracy theories making the rounds… Such as the INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES .. included with the IBT report are the facts about the stock dump..


While we are being told that the plane is probably ‘at the bottom of the sea,’  there are still some strange occurrences worth exploring..  Such as this: Reports that a relative of one of the people on board the plane received a text message that the plane landed and all were safe.. Also this: Official websites reported the missing flight having landed in Singapore before reports were broadcast to the world that it went missing. 


So with that all said and linked for your digestive tracts to attempt to endure, it is fair to say nothing will stop conspiracy theories now.


Not even a CEO who can play keyboard and bang the drum..


Biebs decided to remind his followers (a lot less of them since Instagram purged all the fake accounts) of how rich he is. So he posted a selfie from his new jet he got for Christmas.. 


While that may make some jealous, a careful critique of Justin’s once youthful face is showing the tests of time. The parties, the drugs, the alcohol.. the atmosphere of lunacy that infected his life in 2014 is making an appearance with each wrinkle and crinkle, and the dark bags that have enveloped his eyes.. 


But at least he has a brand new jet.

First full day of search for AirAsia jet #QZ8501: Object in sea NOT the missing jet


History is repeating itself. It feels just like the spring of 2014 when Flight 370 went missing. Reports of it landing, then it didn’t.. reports of families getting text messages, and then the media saying it’s just delusions of the grieving.. reports of the government finding wreckage, and then yielding nothing.


This is the stuff conspiracy theorists salivate over. And why wouldn’t they? The notion of the same thing happening two times in one year, and being almost exact in a mystery is breathtaking. Also the aftermath is even more alarming, with the same rumor mill pumping and the tough part of separating fact from fiction.


We simply know this: Another jet has been ‘lost’ and there are no signs, traces, or hints of the wreckage anywhere.


Along with the loss of the jet, 162 people including 17 children and 1 infant are most likely gone from this earthly existence.. 


A bad year for aviation indeed.
Or one of completely mystery that one day will be explained by future events..

I recalled watching the original DON’T HUG ME I’M SCARED years ago. Heck , with how fast time moves, it seems like ages .. but it was 2011 (prior to the birth of my son, so it does actually feel like a whole other time period.)



The video was created after a kickstarter campaign helped Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling bring it to life.. While the original video has aged now, it was brought back into focus this weekend when Clyde Lewis posted a message on his Facebook page saying that he was speaking to someone who told him that the DON’T HUG ME I’M SCARED series is being used for MK ULTRA mind control. He asked readers to simply say what they thought after watching .. 


Reaction was mixed–some said that people were taking the video too seriously.. Others were simply freaked out by the imagery and music. A few remarked that the video was social commentary on the education system–how eSome interesting notes to mention on this whole entire subject.


Theories have been around for some time, this is not the first time someone has asked what the true nature of the short video is .. and even more, entire websites are devoted to in depth studies over the commentary presented in the DON’T HUG ME series..


And if you thought the video’s allure would have been confined to only 2011 or the years since, you’re wrong. More DON’T HUG ME I’M SCARED videos are on the way.. In May 2014, Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling announced that they would begin a kickstarter campaign to make four more episodes of the show. The third episode was just released in October of 2014, it features one character called Shrignold teaching another called The Yellow Guy about love..


But to go deeper into what Clyde Lewis posted, the mystery behind the meaning of the video is answered, a bit at least, by the makers. Sloan said this when asked about the project in an interview with YES YOU CAN:



We decided to create something psychedelic to compliment Tame Impala’s music. We had the idea to create an abstract journey set during the split second when two people’s eyes meet for the first time. As we wanted it to be set inside someone’s head, we looked at a lot of MRI brain scans for inspiration, as well as looped animations by artists such as Al Jarnow.



Pelling followed up with this,



We wanted to create something unique looking, and had never really worked with plasticine before. Our aim was to focus on using it in a new way, avoiding the obvious Wallace & Gromit approach. The good thing about plasticine is the fact you can smudge, mix and even melt it into certain shapes. This creates a very acid-y, psychedelic look without using loads of digital effects



However that answers few mysteries, but it certainly does confirm to a degree that a partial goal of the filmmakers was to present something with hidden messages and a constant weird flow of  creepy and disturbing images.  It does not go into much detail thought of meaning.. A Google search, though, will reveal countless websites that cover topics.. One I found was written by Chris Gibson on a hubpages site, where he explained in good detail some of the meanings he was seeing in the film. The date of June 19th shows up a lot. Gibson wrote this on that topic,



This is a tough one. There aren’t very many clues to this other than the date and the content of the videos themselves. The only real theory I have comes from typing the date into Wikipedia and searching year by year to try and find something that corresponded. The only event that seems to be related at all is the establishment of the FCC on June 19th 1934, or in other words,The Communications Act of 1934. The organization created are the people who dictate what is okay to watch on TV.



More mysteries.. What struck me was this.. The original video–from 2011–and subsequent, made heavy references to June 19. The Kickstarter campaign to make new videos that was announced years after the first video, was fully funded in 2014. On June 19.
Really.
June 19th.
That date..again. Perhaps the reality of that creeped me out, even more so than the actual video ..


Even religious folk have debated the movie.. A forum on a Catholic themed website in October debated the topic…


Mind control?
Commentary?
Forced creepiness?


One comment on the official DON’T HUG ME I’M SCARED Facebook page made me ponder if an MK ULTRA message abounds.. It said only this on Christmas Eve,



these videos god as witness describe my brain
i do listen to the voices in my brain



You can be the judge. But I dare you to only watch the video one time. But I challenge you to not watch it too many..


But green is not a creative color.ducators always tell children to be creative but then attack them for doing so.

Facebook apologizes for ‘Year in Review’ feature

I personally hate the year in review .. @

Two More Stores Closing At Mall At Steamtown in Scranton

Not much seems to be able to save to once mighty Steamtown Mall now .. Maybe not even Mr. Boscov this time..
The mighty will fall.
The mall may fail..
And ace of base
Will give chase
To the online world.
Where shopping is heard..

Creepiest presidential moment of the year
Okay.. You’ve all probably had enough of this Obama hologram theory.. But take a look at the opening 5 seconds .. The unedited footage shows the President literally appearing out of thin air.. Very bizarre .

Best Megan Fox of the year
There was one Megan Fox who starred in TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURLES and partially showcased her breasts whereever she traveled.. And then there was the other Megan Fox, who suddenly turned into a star. She became famous on YOUTUBE. She became the talk of the internet.. she was made famous online for walking through a museum being critical of evolution and other stories of science.. Her creationist beliefs caused a stir, and many laughs. She is InternetFamous. And she shares her name with another FOX, one that this Fox would most likely believe is devilish..

The dumbest idea (that made money) in 2014
The selfie stick. People who want to get the perfect self image are going wild for the Selfie Stick. It can clip to certain phones.. it extends far out to get the perfect snapshot.
And it’s the dumbest looking thing I have ever seen.
Say cheese..

Creepiest photo of the year
The devil’s in the details. And maybe in the clouds.. This image was shot at a UK rock festival.. There was a heavy thunderstorm and this face-like feature ensued in the clouds. Of course the instant rejection occurred as readers said the image was Photoshopped, but judging from the comment thread on the article, the image was real, as some testify. They say they were there, and saw the devil emerge from the thunderstorm above.. Regardless of its authenticity, the image is creepy..
