Of COARSE AS FAR AS I KNOW, AMERICAN COPS AREN'T OFFICIALLY TAUGHT HOW TO BEAT UP PEOPLE WITHOUT LEAVING INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE
...like the Chinese. Their police training manual just got leaked on the Internet and reveals that cops are taught how to abuse prisoners and get away with it,
Yup, pretty much what you'd expect from a country with serious human rights issues. But, heck, what would WalMat be without their products? Nothing to see here. Move on.

THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM
In case you're off the Internet outrage circuit, here's another example of law enforcement using tasers to subdue essentially harmless people. This guy's great crime? Being naked at Coachella and refusing to put his clothes back on. What's really disturbing is how they start administering shocks to his face and head for no apparent reason. I hope these assholes seriously pay. But I'm too cynical to believe that anything will happen to them at all.
Once the rubber gloves go on it gets ugly.
Warning, pot belly and penis on full display!

DICK OF THE MONTH CLUB
Not a person but a rental management company. The mother of a popular special education teacher is harassed by his former landlord to pay late rental fees and, get this, an early termination fee after he's murdered.
The complete blackhearted asshole-ishness of some people can be astounding. But, hey, according to libertarians the unseen hand of the marketplace will cure all society's ills.

THE MOST AMAZING SCRABBLE COMMERCIALS EVAH!
God, I love these commercials. Which is a pretty odd thing to say, I know. But these cross over the line between craven marketing and artistic inspiration. If half the ads on TV were this creative people would hit the fast forward on their DVR a whole lot less.
Eat 'em up, yum!
And, actually, here's another nifty one...

DISTURBING STROKES
If you ever doubted the importance of a movie soundtrack and what it can bring to the final production, watch this version of the title sequence for the sitcom Different Strokes (thanks Jeff S!).
Tell me if Conrad Bain doesn't come off as a child molester luring Gary Coleman and his brother into his torture chamber high rise apartment.
Whachoo talkin' about? Ewww.

IF REAL LIFE WERE A MUSICAL
Now, if you know me, you know how I'm essentially allergic to musicals. And in particluar, I've always hated The Sound Of Music. Bo-ring!
BUT then I get sent this video and, well, maybe the world be a little more interesting if people just randomly burst into song and dance throughout life.
Here's the thing... If this had happened in a US train station you just know law enforcement or TSA would open fire, believing it was a terrorist attack.

AH, YES, ANOTHER RIGHT WINGNUT HIT
Were you listening to OBama's inauguration speech? Were you listening carefully? Not carefully enough. If you had been you would have heard the part where he told us all to serve Satan.
Yup, that's right. You lefties just don't get what's at stake here!
Watch this and all will be revealed!

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL
Andrew Bird plays in Ann Arbor this week and for 5 weeks I have been searching for a ticket to this sold out show. I can't tell you how bummed I am to be missing this. I don't get to go to shows much anymore (small kids do that to you) and this is the first one I've truly pined for. I've been into his music since I hear Lull, about 6 years ago. Now he's the bees knees for a whole lotta Johnny-come-lately's.
Ah, well. Maybe next time. Maybe.
