Women Caught on Tape Powerwashing Child at Car Wash

This woman must be given the same treatment

I am always amazed that parents can treat their own children with cruelty. Why I should be amazed I have no idea. I suppose I should get used to it. But I can't. I try to believe that there are good people out there who treat their children with decency. I know they are out there. Then I see something like this and I wonder where the hell these good people are. The frequency of child abuse is getting greater. Are the decent parents moving into the shadows?

What's that smell?

Smells Like Teen Spirit

Created by perfumer Antoine Lie for rebel fragrance line Etat Libre D’Orange, Sécrétions Magnifiques features the four “S’s” of raw sexuality: Sperm, Sweat, Saliva, and Sant (French for blood).

If you could smell it with a French accent, it’d be erotic, provocative, sensual, and dirty (in a lacey French way). In plain English, it’s gross. Gross … but also genius.

Etat Libre D’Orange wants to rock the fragrance world with their liberal, subversive, and edgy fragrances, and rock the fragrance world they will … if they take it just a little step further.

The Fall (2006)

I'll tell you a story. Close your eyes.

The Fall was filmed in 2006, but only now getting a release - from what I can gather. In a hospital a little girl with a broken collar bone meets a bedridden man who starts telling her a fantastical story which reflects his state of mind. As time goes by fiction and reality start to intertwine in this uplifting epic fantasy.

Director Tarsem's last film was The Cell (2000), and The Fall bears all the trademarks of that previous film. The glorious cinematography, brilliant sets, gorgeous colors, fantasy and reality merging into one. I am very much looking forward to this film. I watched a bootlegged download a while back and The Fall is a magnificent film. This film deserves to be seen on the big screen and I can't wait for it. Tarsem is a brilliant director, and The Fall is no less than brilliant. For now, watch the trailer.

Don't give them money!

They will just waste it!

On Friday, a friend of mine (from work) and I went for our usual Friday coffee run to Starbucks. About five minutes from work. We get there, she parks the car and we walk to Starbucks. On the way to the coffee house, I noticed a homeless woman about ten feet from Starbucks. She was holding a cardboard in her hands. When we got closer, I saw that the cardboard said "Hungry ... need a place to stay ... can I have your change". Well, I did not have change, so I gave the woman twenty dollars. She did not say anything but smiled. My friend and I walked into Starbucks.

While waiting in the rather long line-up, I felt someone touch me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw a nice looking, I would say, well to-do couple behind me. Probably in their mid-thirties. I said "Hi." They said the same. Then the man said to me "We saw you give that woman a lot of money. She will just waste it!" I felt my body catch on fire. I was boiling.

In a loud voice, I said to them:

"That woman and people like her live on the streets. They live in dumpsters, cardboard boxes or in doorways. What the hell are they going to save their money for? That big screen TV that fits just on the right side of the dumpster? Or maybe get new furniture for the next doorway they move to? Hey, I know. They could spruce up their resume for an interview and go in their piss soaked clothes.

"They have nothing - no roof, no room, no nothing. I am glad they are wasting it. If I was in their shoes, you are fucking right I would waste it on alcohol and/or drugs. Beats sitting around smelling my piss. Are you going to help them get back on their feet? If your answer is no, then don't tell them or me that they can't waste the money given to them."

When I finished, the couple promptly left Starbucks without their coffee. Starbucks was hushed, and the barista gave me a free coffee. Which I gave to the homeless woman on my way out. Don't tell me I can't waste my coffee!

KMPlayer

Another good, if not better, video player

In my eternal quest for the Holy Grail of video players, I came across KMPlayer. Currently I use GOM player strictly for watching videos. Since finding KMPlayer, I have been using it more often.

KM has an attractive appearance and its interface is very user friendly. This gets my attention quickly. I am not keen on players, video and/or audio, that require a lot of fiddling. I want my settings straightforward, and easy to set-up. KM does that for you. KM also supports a lot of video and audio formats. In the video department, there are DivX, XviD, Theora, WMV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VP3, VP5, VP6, H263(+), H.264(AVC1), CYUY, ASV1/2 to name a few. In the audio, we have AC3, DTS, LPCM, MP2, MP3, Vorbis, AAC, WMA, ALAC and many more. Great stuff. No worries on finding any more players for that weird format.

Now, I have to say upfront that I do not use KMPlayer for audio purposes. But it definitely is becoming my video player of choice. Give it a go.

God Hates Fags

... therefore I abhorred them.

Welcome, depraved sons and daughters of Adam.

Since 1955, Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has taken forth the precious from the vile, and is therefore as the mouth of God (Jer. 15:19). In 1991, WBC took her ministry to the streets, conducting over 34,000 peaceful demonstrations (to date) opposing the fag lifestyle of soul-damning, nation-destroying filth. In response, america bombed WBC. Now, God is america's enemy, dashing your soldiers to pieces.3,975 dead. 29,080 wounded. 
 
America crossed the line on June 26, 2003, when the Supreme Court (the conscience of the nation) ruled that we must respect sodomy. WBC believes her gospel message to be this world's last hope.

Next picket schedule: 03/09/2008 2:15 PM - 3:00 PM Athens, GA

First United Methodist Church 327 Lumpkin St. This is for the funeral of Eve Carson. Although her death was reportedly described as "a random crime," we know that this is nothing less than the Wrath of God upon the children of Disobediance. You have taught your children to cater to every lust and false religous system and to reject the Word of God. It does not matter that she was the student body president of the University of North Carolina. What matters here is that God did not slay YOU today and you have an opportunity to repent of your crimes against God. However, this is nothing less than the Quarrel of the Covenant. Like Esau, you have sold your birthright, america, and chosen to live as a whore. You have been cast out with no blessings, and now you are irreversibly headed for Hell. Now, "Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation." (Judges 10:14) "I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice. The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness." (Jeremiah 22:21-22) America is Doomed. Amen.

Westboro Baptist Church - May they rot and burn in Hell.

Internet Explorer 8 Beta

How does it stack up?

A few days ago, I had mentioned that Internet Explorer 8 Beta was ready for download. I also listed some of the features for this new update. Well, I gave it a try yesterday and here is what I think.

The major improvement in IE8 is the speed. It is faster than IE7, quicker to open tabs and pages. I had IE7 on another computer and IE8 on mine. A friend and I opened the same web sites at the same time. IE8 was quicker in all cases. A vast improvement over IE7. IE users will love this.

The features were not extraordinary, but they were alright. I am not going to comment on those.

The problem with IE8 is that, with making the browser standards compliant, it has rendering glitches. My blog, The Zen of Steve, had header problems and I had to add to the HTML code to correct it. Or you could quickly correct it by having IE8 emulate IE7. There is an Emulate IE7 button on the toolbar that will correct these problems. Once clicked, restart the browser and all should be fine.

So, excellent speed, so-so features, and rendering problems. Good try, though. But I am still staying with Firefox.

Reactions to small dick!

Oh, cute. It's like a little button!

I have a very small penis. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I've come to terms with it and now I've even found someone who will date me in spite of it. Nevertheless, the moment when I expose myself has always provided a bit of consternation and some interest moments. At the suggestion of some others on other board, I'm posting a few anecdotes based on this experience. Enjoy.

From a blonde who was chewing gum at the time..."So, I mean, is this it???"

"Yikes, Andrea said you were small but...wow!"

From another girl, holding it between her index finger and thumb, "Why don't you just use your hand."

I had just gone home with a girl who provided some 420 fun, "Wow...I hope you know how to eat this cooch!"

From a girl who gave me oral, "Well at least there's no chance I'll gag!"

Simply birolliant

The incredible 10ft 'photographs' drawn with a ballpoint pen

ballpoint, pen, art, drawing, 10 feet, exhibitions, photosThey may look like pin-sharp photographs - but these amazing pictures are actually drawings created with the humble ballpoint pen. The stunning pictures, measuring up to 10ft high, were drawn by a rising star of the art world, Juan Francisco Casas. Casas, 31, can use up to four 14p ballpoint pens for a canvas and his works are already a sell-out at exhibitions. Formerly a traditional painter, Juan began the drawings three years ago based on photographs of nights out with his friends.

The Niagara Falls Tunnel

Hide and Seek would be so much fun

Imagine a tunnel more than ten storeys underground, a hundred years old, bricklined, wet, andNiagara Falls, tunnel, water, ten storeys, underground completely inaccessible save by descending through a narrow slit in its ceiling thirty feet above the floor, and then returning up the same rope you came down.

Now imagine that this tunnel flows into Niagara Falls, emerging behind the pummeling curtain of water that nearly everyone in North America journeys to see at some point in their lives.

This tunnel exists. In the autumn of 2004, thanks to the work of two people with the experience and equipment to make it happen, I had the chance to feel Niagara Falls.

Pentagon bans Google map-makers

Stop filming the military, Google

Close-up, ground-level imagery of US military sites posed a "potential threat" to security, it said.

The move follows the discovery of images of the Fort Sam Houston army base in Texas on Google Maps.

A Google spokesman said that where the US military had expressed concerns, images had been removed.

Google has now been barred from filming and conducting detailed studies of bases, following the discovery of detailed, three-dimensional panoramas online - and in particular, views of the Texan base.

Renault Mégane Coupé Concept

Introduces Dragonfly Wing Doors

Renault unveiled their Mégane Coupé Concept at the Geneva Motor Show this year and besides foreshadowing a new compact production coupe to be released some time in the future, the car also sports a pretty innovative pair of gullwing-like doors. The windows and the door are actually two separate pieces, but they both open at the same time with a movement that’s similar to dragonfly wings. And besides looking a lot cooler than the gullwing doors of the past, the unique system is also practical since it provides particularly easy entry and exit for passengers in the backseat.

Unfortunately though the dragonfly wing doors are one aspect of the concept that will definitely not make it into the new production coupe. But if they can manage to keep it close to the appearance of this concept I’m sure their dealers will have no trouble getting them off the lot.

French mayor tells locals not to die

Die, and you will be punished

The mayor of a village in southwest France has threatened residents with severe punishment if they die, because there is no room left in the overcrowded cemetery to bury them.

In an ordinance posted in the council offices, Mayor Gerard Lalanne told the 260 residents of the village of Sarpourenx that "all persons not having a plot in the cemetery and wishing to be buried in Sarpourenx are forbidden from dying in the parish".

It added: "Offenders will be severely punished".

Mandatory Fitness Test For Officers

No doughnuts for the cops? What will they do?

Chicago's new top cop said he is considering a mandated physical fitness test for officers, one that could also take into account body fat, not only how much a cop weighs.

Saying the current system of using cash to encourage cops to get fit doesn't work, Supt. Jody Weis said any requirements probably would be grandfathered in and nothing will likely happen for a year. He also knows he has to work with the union.

But paying cops cash to pass a physical is like paying a child to earn A's on a report card.

An Open Letter to Will Ferrell

You can be Bill Murray, Will. Don’t settle for Eddie Murphy.

Dear Will,

Hi. It’s me. Daniel. Before I go any further, I’d like to offer my condolences over Semi-Pro. Everyone was predicting about $30 million for opening weekend, and you did about half that. These are record-low numbers, (for your standards), and that must be pretty tough for you. It probably even comes as a surprise. Being the arrogant, delusional man-child has always resulted in big numbers for you in the past, and I’m sure you thought Semi-Pro would just be another huge victory. And after all that promotion you did, with the Superbowl Ad, and the Sports Illustrated Spread, and the Old Spice stuff- you must be crushed.

I watched Semi-Pro yesterday. It wasn’t very good. I chuckled a few times, sure, there were some really great moments. I’ve always been a sucker for bears. A well-placed scream can often yield hilarious results, and you also have an amazing knack for picking out words that, somehow, are just inherently funny, (this time it was “pancakes.” You said “pancake” and I almost pissed myself.). In general, however, it was as weak as I’d expected it to be. Each movie of yours since Anchorman has been a derivative of Anchorman, and a poor one at that.

Clock's ticking on sex

7 to 13 minutes is the best

The best sex should last between seven and 13 minutes, and even three-minute sex is "adequate", a major survey of US experts has concluded.

But Australian sex therapists commenting on the new research say most men Down Under wanted it to last considerably longer while most women were "not bothered" if it was over with fast.

The sex study is the first to review what the experts believe is the ideal length of time to have penetrative sex, with the random sample of Americans and Canadians labelling seven to 13 minutes most "desirable".

James Bond: Quantum Of Solace’ Plot Revealed!

Will it leave you shaken and not stirred?

Spoiler Alert

James Bond, spy, thriller, revenge, 007, actionQuantum of Solace’ continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (Daniel Craig) in ‘Casino Royale.’ Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal.

Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (Judi Dench) interrogate Mr. White (Jesper Christensen), who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined. Forensic intelligence links an MI6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a woman who has her own vendetta.

Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organization. On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world’s most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano (Joaquin Cosio). Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.

In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene’s sinister plan and stop his organization.

Get three coffins ready

Wellington Dias landed the gig as artist of Dynamite Entertainment’s upcoming “The Man with No comic, Clint Eastwood, western, trilogy, art, revengeName” series, penned by Christos Gage. CBR News spoke with Dias about the book and his longtime love of the character made famous the world over by a thirty-something Clint Eastwood in MGM’s 1960s spaghetti western trilogy “A Fistful of Dollars, “For a Few Dollars More” and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” all directed by Sergio Leone.

“I really like this character. It was a great surprise being called to draw him. In all honesty, I thought it’d never happen,” said Dias, whose previous work includes “CSI” and “Dr. JJ.”
