Lady Finds Chinese Worker's Plea For Help Inside Product Bought At K-Mart

2012-12-31T10:05:00.000-05:00

A clever Chinese worker smuggled the note above into a Halloween decoration which was later bought at a K-Mart store in Oregon, and the woman who discovered the note felt compelled to share it with the world.

Whether this note is a fake or not is still being debated, but Sophie Richardson from the Human Rights Watch claims:

We’re in no position to confirm the veracity or origin of this….

I think it is fair to say the conditions described in the letter certainly conform to what we know about conditions in…labor camps….

If this thing is the real deal, that’s somebody saying, “Please help me, please know about me, please react.” That’s our job.

Girl Collects Condoms From Previous Partners, Hangs Them On Wall

2012-10-26T16:00:00.000-04:00

These photos give new meaning to the phrase “rubber room.”

The clever photographer, who simply goes by the name Julia D, has a bunch of crazy and artistic photos like this in her Flickr portfolio. I don’t know if these are real or staged but saving used condoms is not an unheard of idea. Toni Bentley, the ballet-dancin’ superfreak author who wrote an erotic memoir called The Surrender, claimed that she kept used condoms of her past lovers in a makeshift “treasure chest.” Then again, The Surrender was about Ms. Bentley’s insatiable love for butt sex, so that box must have stunk to high Heaven.

This particular chick keeps her trophies on a “Wall of Fame” with each guy’s picture. Reminds me a bit of the “Wall of Shame” at the 99 Cent Store, full of Polaroid pics of shoplifters who are forbidden to return. Unlike those rock-bottom bums, these guys have nothing to be ashamed of. This chick is pretty cute and homegirl thought enough of them to put their spooge on display. Actually, she’s the one who looks ashamed… or is that a look of exhaustion from so much fuckin? Are these guys still alive? Maybe she killed her sex partners, like a female praying mantis. I guess this is what abstract art is all about: Making assumptions when you’re unsure what the fuck is goin’ on.

Flesh-Eating Drugs Hit U.S., Russia

2012-05-30T18:30:00.001-04:00

Calling all coke heads

via Gawker.com

You should really stop doing cocaine. Not because it's addictive, or anything, but because it's likely laced with levamisole, a veterinary drug used for de-worming livestock, and it will make your flesh rot off. A new report being published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology finds six patients who "developed purple-colored patches of necrotic skin on their ears, nose, cheeks and other parts of their body," apparently thanks to levamisole-cut coke. And, they say, that's just "the tip of the iceberg in a looming public health problem"!

According to the Department of Justice, some 70 percent of cocaine (most of it distributed in and around New York and L.A.) is cut with levamisole. We'd say, Who cares? Doesn't this just mean that every investment banker in New York will lose both ears? but our understanding is that i-bankers have moved on to Adderall and the ground-up finger bones of poor people. If you are in a bad rotting-flesh situation, we recommend switching drug dealers, which apparently worked for one patient the doctors wrote about in their report.

Meanwhile in Russia, the government and medical authorities are agitating against "krokodil" ("Крокодил" or "crocodile"), an insane newish opiate cooked by addicts in their kitchens out of "gasoline, paint thinner, hydrochloric acid, iodine and red phosphorous" plus the key ingredient, codeine. Why is it called "crocodile"? Why, because bursting blood vessels at the injection site (which can be anywhere on the body! Even the forehead!) turns the skin "greenish and scaly."

"The average user," Time reports, "does not live longer than two or three years, and the few who manage to quit usually come away disfigured." Animal New York collected a few disgusting photos; they could be fake, but the Russian news film to the left is plenty gross and plenty real. (Don't watch it on a full stomach.)

As it is, there's not much the Russian government is currently doing to help, meaning that the care and treatment for the population of addicts—some 2.5 million total, with the number of krokdil addicts somewhere in the hundreds of thousands—lies largely with Russian Evangelical churches, which run some 500 rehab centers. A government meeting about the problem, Time writes, "has led to a meandering public debate" about the country's drug policies, but no real change yet.

The Online Keywords that are being Monitored by the Government

2012-05-28T11:36:00.000-04:00

The Department of Homeland Security has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S.

The intriguing the list includes obvious choices such as 'attack', 'Al Qaeda', 'terrorism' and 'dirty bomb' alongside dozens of seemingly innocent words like 'pork', 'cloud', 'team' and 'Mexico'.

Released under a freedom of information request, the information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats.

The words are included in the department's 2011 'Analyst's Desktop Binder' used by workers at their National Operations Center which instructs workers to identify 'media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities'.

Department chiefs were forced to release the manual following a House hearing over documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit which revealed how analysts monitor social networks and media organisations for comments that 'reflect adversely' on the government.

However they insisted the practice was aimed not at policing the internet for disparaging remarks about the government and signs of general dissent, but to provide awareness of any potential threats.

What Are We Missing...

2012-04-22T20:18:00.003-04:00

A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.

A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.

Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.

This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:

If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?

Woman Claims Working At McDonald’s Turned Her Into A Prostitute

2012-04-13T15:52:00.000-04:00

I always suspected Ronald McDonald was a pimp… just look at the way he dresses. Who else would rock a yellow and red suit with a butterfly collar? Well, a woman in Vegas claims that while working at the Golden Arches, she went from serving Happy Meals to giving “happy endings.” From Huffington Post:

Shelley Lynn, a former prostitute and employee of the Las Vegas Chicken Ranch brothel, has claimed in a federal court complaint that McDonald’s played a role in her becoming a sex worker, the Consumerist reports.

Lynn is suing McDonald’s along with her ex-husband and his company Ivernia, which owned the local McDonald’s franchise where Lynn was employed as a cashier 20 years ago, according to the complaint obtained by Courthouse News Service.

Handley “emotionally and psychologically” coerced Lynn into prostitution in part because McDonald’s paid her minimum wage, offered a poor health care plans and no benefits and had no system for filing grievances against employers who abused their power, according to the complaint. All of these factors allowed Handley, her employer when the two began dating, to unjustly terminate her employment and browbeat her into sex work, Lynn claims.

McDonald’s did not return calls for comment.

“[McDonald's] failed to properly supervise and train Handley, as a direct result of which Handley used his position as an employer and conspired with his corporation Ivernia to coerce and bribe two of Ivernia’s employees to make false statements against Lynn during Handley’s dissolution and to suppress relevant evidence he had disclosed about himself,” the complaint read. “Handley also engaged in pimping operations out of the McDonald’s franchises he owned.”

Lynn is suing McDonald’s for lost wages as well as a number of damages, according to the Consumerist. According to the career and workplace review site Glassdoor, the average hourly pay for McDonald’s crew members is $7.64 per hour, or around $15,000 per year. In comparison, Taco Bell paid an average of $7.83 per hour, Wendy’s paid $7.66 per hour and Burger King paid $8 per hour.

McPimpin’. So Ronnie Mac ain’t just slingin’ hamburgers, he’s slingin’ furburgers too. I’m lovin’ it. Sexual favors would be a great addition to the Value Menu. “Yeah, I’ll have a Big Mac, large fries and a blowjob. Super-size it, ho.”

Brazil’s ‘Gang Of Blondes’ Kidnapped Shoppers, Maxed Out Credit Cards

2012-04-09T13:47:00.000-04:00

So apparently, blondes do have more fun.

Usually, when I post something about Brazil it’s booty-related. But if you’ve seen the movie City of God (one of my all-time favorites) then you know Brazil is also famous for crime. Hijacking, kidnapping, murder… you name it, it’s poppin off down there. This story, however, is particularly intriguing because the criminals in question are a gang of sexy bilingual blonde women who ironically prey on other blonde women. I guess shit iz real kid....

According to The Huffington Post’s Latino News column:

Over the weekend, São Paulo police arrested 3 members of an unlikely gang of criminals known as the “Gang of Blondes.” The group of criminals is thought to include six “really pretty” blondes who wreaked havoc around the city by robbing and assuming the identity of fellow beautiful blondes, police chief Joaquim Dias Alves told BBC Mundo. The six women are young, middle class, and educated, according to the police. According to BBC Mundo, the women follow fellow blondes out of shopping centers to their cars, where they steal their credit cards, security codes, and other valuables. One member of the group then assumes the identity of their victim, buying electronics and designer clothes, while the remaining members hold the victim at gunpoint. “The group started out by breaking into condominiums, but in 2009 got into the business of express kidnapping,” Jorge Carlos Carrasco with the Sao Paulo police Homicide Department told the AFP. One male suspect thought to work with the “Gang of Blondes” has also been apprehended by the São Paulo police, according to the same report. The unlikely gang has victimized more than 50 women in the last three years, according to the report by the AFP. “One or two speak more than one language, and some have been educated overseas,” Alves said to BBC Mundo. “They are really pretty girls, well-dressed and made up.”

Blonde-on-blonde violence… what is this world coming to? I thought blondes were supposed to be happy-go-lucky bimbos, not ruthless gangsta bitches. Shit is crazy. Well, I guess the only question left to ask is: Do the “Gang of Blondes” have phat butts? If so, when the perps walk out the precinct, the cameraman would be wise to film some back shots ‘cuz the Thirst Mob wants to know. -One love

Blustack App Player Lets You Use Android Apps on a Windows PC

BlueStacks is an application that installs on your Windows computer and then allows you to run any Android app through it. This is a brilliant piece of software and one that developers should thoroughly embrace. Through something like BlueStacks, applications from devs can reach more than just Android devices and are now essentially a part of everyone’s Windows PC without the need for code tweaking. This app player does all of the work.

Supreme Mathematics

2012-03-03T16:58:00.002-05:00

Supreme Mathematics

(1)Knowledge-

is the accumulation of facts thru observing, learning, and respecting. Knowledge is the foundation of all in existence, for it must be "known" in order to make it manifest. Knowledge is the "light" given off by our SUN, which is the foundation of our Solar system. Also the Original Man whom is the foundation of family. KNOWLEDGE=SUN=ORIGINAL MAN.

(2)Wisdom-

is wise-words being spoken, or to speak Knowledge(wise-dome meaning a wise-mind), and act according to it. Wisdom is WATER, or the vital building block of life. Wisdom is the Original Woman because thru her Cipher(womb) life is continued. It is also a reflection of one's Knowledge, and is shown and proven by the Moon being a reflection of the Sun's light(knowledge). Knowledge+the reflection of Knowledge=Wisdom(1+1=2). WISDOM=MOON=ORIGINAL WOMAN.

(3)Understanding-

is that which shows and proves the completion of Knowledge and Wisdom(Man, Woman, Child). Understanding is a clear mental comprehension. It is the Original child which is the star. The highest form of Understanding is Love, the bond between Man and Woman, or Knowledge and Wisdom. UNDERSTANDING=STAR=ORIGINAL CHILD.

(4)Culture/Freedom-

Culture is one's way of living. Meaning one's language(wisdom), and customs(ways and actions). Freedom, is to have a 'free-dome', or to lack restraints. The Original Man's culture is prosperity (freedom, justice, and equality), which is peace.

(5)Power/Refinement-

Power is force or creative energy. To Refine is to perfect. Power is the truth which is nature's mathematics. To Knowledge the Culture of nature is to have Power.

(6)Equality-

is the state, or quality of being Equal. Meaning to deal equally with all in existence. Equality is achieved by teaching others Knowledge and Wisdom, making it Understood thru Understanding.

(7)GOD-

GOD is GOD. The Supreme being, Black man who is the Original, is god, infinte, lord of all the worlds, supreme ruler of the universe which is everything, sun, moon, and stars(god is the sun in the solar system, woman is moon, child is star).

(8)Build/Destroy-

To build is to elevate the mentality of self, and others around self. To add-on positive energy to the world. To Destroy is to ruin by allowing negativity to outweigh the positive.

(9)Born-

is the completion of all in existence. To manifest from Knowledge to Born, which is the law of mathematics. To be complete in itself.

(O)Cipher-

is a whole. 360 degrees of KNOWLEDGE(120) WISDOM(120) & UNDERSTANDING(120). All in existence pertains to a cipher.

Infra collection by Richard Mosse

2012-02-25T16:21:00.001-05:00

A military village emerges from the hills of hot pink. A soldier lurks in a crimson jungle. A man with a face erupted in scar tissue from a war trauma pauses for a portrait. Photographer Richard Mosse has captured the Congo using Kodak Aerochrome, a discontinued military surveillance film used to detect an invisible spectrum of infrared light, warping the hues of green into a landscape of lavender and revealing much more than an image shot on typical film would.

The Ireland-born photographer’s striking new series Infra documents a land of turbulent, shifting politics, systematic massacres, and unrelenting physical and sexual violence. These photographs are devastating in their reality and hauntingly beautiful in their creative form.

Sometimes I Wonder...

2012-02-24T15:52:00.000-05:00

Sometimes I wonder....whenever you ignore someone but they keep calling and texting you what is the bigger point that they are trying to prove??? Like you ain't got nothing better to do then to fuck with somebody that obviously ain't got time or slightest inclination to be fucking with you....Cmonson!

I mean look the way I see it, it's like this it's either 1 of 3 things going on here and all of them are just as goofy as the next but nonetheless here are a list of the things that i have to go through so here it is:

They don't think that you can really ignore them forever - which is some childish shit
No matter what in the hell you say or do they are so insistent on saying what they want to say or get the point across that they wanna get across - which is some ignorant shit
They are really on some Brandy "I wanna be down" and you know I love you type shit but they are so frustrated or disturbed by emotion and rage that they've warped some unrealistic expectation that you are supposed to interpret their persistence and animosity/ignorance towards you as a sign or symbol of affection and allegiance because they are giving so much of themselves.....and I might add, to a situation that's probably bullshit - which is some crazy shit.

So now with all that being said, which one do you think that I get the pleasure of having to deal with day in and day out with these busters? LOL

Man Sometimes I wonder....cmonson!
