My DJ's so nice he don't slice he [fails you]

Looks like Berklee College of Music is offering a class to all you wanna be DJ's. The professor (ha!) did a spot on NPR, complete with a demonstration. CNN carried the story.

I'll show you beef. Where's my hot iron poker?

Wow. I saw this one over at Stupid Evil Bastard—a foster parent was caught abusing her two adopted children by a man who installed a wireless surveillance camera in his house. What a way to be caught.

The guy bought the camera for the security of his own home but mistakenly picked up a feed from a neighbor. He saw two children, standing for more than an hour, arms outstretched.

He decided to tape the event and later witnessed a woman enter periodically to beat the children with fist and stick.

God damn. What in the fuck is wrong with people?

To my surprise, neither Les nor Dave talked much about what kind of abuse this was. It looks like some sort of sick "punishment", forcing the children under penalty of beating to stand for hours with their arms outstretched, not allowed to move. And with the wonderful power of affordable, wireless security cameras, the evil bitch could constantly monitor the children. Anytime one of them lets their arms drop or otherwise change positions, whamo, they get battered.

With this technology, in almost no time you have dominated the children mentally, convincing them you monitoring them 100% of the time. That is, they think they are being watched even if you pop off a bit from watching the camera feed to do other stuff. This shit is mental and physical torture, not just abuse. The cruelty this woman demonstrates is inhuman. What can someone get out of torturing children like this?

If I wasn't against the death penalty, I'd like to go find a hot iron poker and have a bit of fun showing her what her intestines look like up close. And I'm not the kind of guy who always asks "but what about the children?"

"Twin Cobra Fist!"

Do you want to dispense Asswhoopery like the US government? Learn the 1000 Styles of Rumsfeld and your skills will be almost unmatched! But can you beat his Appease a Corrupt Dictator on Camera technique?

Furry Humans

Found this via jwz, and it is perhaps the most disturbing thing I've seen in a while.

New lyrics from Lexicon

As a follow up to the previous lyrics I posted, I've transcribed some more from Lexicon. This bit of lyrical heat can be found on their latest album, Youth Is Yours, out on Ill Boogie records.

Corrected spelling.

Final proof that Califoria is stupid.

California suggests your buildings should channel positive energy. As if we needed more proof that California is stupid.
