Crazy Ass Cracka

(Reminder: The Penultimate Paragraph contest ends tonight at midnight. A lot of great entries so far. Get in those submissions now!) Despite this post's title, the video below is a somber one. In fact, it's downright terrifying, but, well, this is the world in which we live. Here's the description so you can get a better idea of what's happening:

The leader of a far right paramilitary group stormed out of a live TV debate amid continuing tension following the murder of Eugene Terreblanche

Secretary General of the AWB Andre Visagie was appearing on the ETV television show Africa 360, when he stood up and appeared to threaten Lebohang Pheko, director of policy of a campaign group.

ETV anchor Chris Maroleng intervened before Mr Visagie called his own security man onto the set. Visagie claims he was not being given the chance to answer accusations made against him.

Tensions are continuing to run high in South Africa following the killing of white supremacist and former AWB leader Eugene Terreblanche.

Like A Scene Out Of SPEED

Thanks once again to everyone who spread the word and became a fan of Hint Fiction on Facebook. Also, the anthology is now up for pre-order at Barnes & Noble. It's discounted a little over 30% off the cover price, just as it now is at Amazon, for $9.41. That's about how much you'd spend to see the remake of Clash of the Titans, so why not save yourself the time and aggravation of wasting two hours of your life on crappy CGI and help support the arts. (Yes, that's right, I did just say the arts).

Below now is a pretty crazy video. Here's the official description:

Two women are under arrest after brawling with a Detroit city bus driver. The duo were reportedly furious after the driver picked up one, but closed the doors before the second boarded. He stopped, but the women were enraged.

For The Love Of Pete, Sit, Ubu, Sit!

This is a bit long, but funny as hell. Enjoy the weekend.

Shad Up, You Durn Mudder Fudger

So the video below isn't real (at least it wasn't a real school play), though it wouldn't surprise me if some school eventually did decide to do some controversial and racy thing like this (a third grade version of Eyes Wide Shut, perhaps). What I find most amusing is that almost everyone at first thought it was real (I'll admit, so did I). If anything, the two minute clip is a great social commentary on our world. Take YA books, for instance: a reader is apt to find more violence and drug-use and profanity and sex in them than they are a typical adult novel. It sometimes seems YA authors try to push the envelope as much as possible, and then when nobody blinks, they try to push it further. But hey, some will argue, that's art. Right?

The Attack Of The Eighty Foot Octomom

I was a little too busy this week to search for a good video to share -- at least the few I saw didn't blow me away -- and of course Vice President Biden had to go and make headlines with another gaffe, and running two Joe Biden posts so close together would just be lazy. But what the hell -- enjoy this one, uncensored:

Also, remember the Octomom? Yeah, I didn't either, but apparently she's in need of money and this is her solution. Maybe next she can team up with Kate Gosselin to create the show Octomom And Kate Plus A Bunch Of Traumatized Kids. It'd be a hit.
