Cunt: A Cultural History

`’Cunt’ is perhaps the single most offensive and censored swearword in the English language: “Of all the four-letter words, CUNT is easily the most offensive” (Ruth Wajnryb, 2004). Our taboo surrounding the word ensures that it is rarely discussed, though, when it is, the superlatives come thick and fast: ‘cunt’ is “a word so hateful it can scarcely be uttered” (Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, 2000). Accordingly, Andrew Goldman calls ‘cunt’ “the mother of all nasty words” and “the most controversial word of all” (1999). For Tom Aldridge, it is “unarguably the most obscene [and] most forbidden word in English”, “the ultimate obscenity”, and “the nastiest four-letter word” (2001). John Doran describes it as “The most offensive word in the world”, “the worst word that anyone has ever been able to think of”, and “[the] most terrible of terrible words” (2002).’

German Cannibal, Armin Meiwes, at Work

`Armin Meiwes (The cannibal),was charged with murder for sexual satisfaction.

He was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison for killing, dismembering and eating another man who allegedly agreed to the arrangement over the Internet.’

Not safe for work, I would think.


Coach rips auto thief from getaway car

`Ken Cavallon of Seattle said he swung into action early Tuesday morning when his wife saw three people trying to break into his truck outside their home.

“I realized, enough is enough, so I came flying up the hill,” Cavallon told KOMO-TV.

The coach grabbed a young man from inside the getaway vehicle as it began to pull away.

“The window was down just a little bit, so I ripped the window out, it shatters all over the ground,” Cavallon said. “I try to pull him out of the car and the seat belt gets in the way, so I open up the car door, and as the guy’s driving the get away car away, I yank him out of the car, throw him to the ground, pick him up, slam him on the hood of my truck, and just held him there.”‘


Ex-statie cadets detail academy hazing horrors

`Hazing at the state police academy was so vile that one recruit was ordered to wear a classmate’s soiled underwear – a demand that prompted him to abandon his dream of becoming a trooper.

“If I put on those . . . stained shorts, I would have been selling my soul to the devil,” said the man, who works in a local district attorney’s office and asked that his name be withheld. “It was all about humiliation. I didn’t want to work within that type of organization.” [..]

“The state police try to be more elite, but what is putting someone’s head in the toilet going to do make them a better investigator?” [some guy] said. “They are losing qualified people because of this juvenile crap.” [..]

“It was hell,” [some other guy] said. “If I had done to the prisoners there what was done to me at the State Police Academy, I would have been all over the news for prisoner abuse.”‘

Fleming senior wears racist T-shirt to school

`The undershirt the white student wore had a confederate flag on the front with the words “Keep it flying.” On the back, a cartoon depicted a group of hooded Klansmen standing outside a church, waving to two others who had just pulled away in a car reading “Just married.”

Two black men in nooses were being dragged behind.

Upset by the shirt, a 17-year-old black student hit the white student in the head. A crowd of about 100 students gathered to watch the Aug. 29 fight before authorities intervened. [..]

“I’m not racist or anything,” he said. “It’s just, some people I hate, some people I don’t get along with. And black people just happen to be the ones because they think they’re better than everyone else.” [..]

“I’m a redneck,” he said. “But no, I’m not racist.”‘


Jackson Water Park Treat

`Michael Jackson rented out an entire water park in Dubai so children and their parents could have fun for free.

The reclusive superstar, now based in the middle east, baffled onlookers at the Wild Wadi park, wearing a white lycra body suit that exposed just his nose and eyes.

A lifeguard tells British newspaper the Daily Express, “He looked even stranger than usual.

“His body is very skinny and lycra does him no favours.”‘


Bush’s Note

`U.S. President George W. Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations at a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.’

The beauty products from the skin of executed Chinese prisoners

`A Chinese cosmetics company is using skin harvested from the corpses of executed convicts to develop beauty products for sale in Europe, an investigation by the Guardian has discovered.

Agents for the firm have told would-be customers it is developing collagen for lip and wrinkle treatments from skin taken from prisoners after they have been shot. The agents say some of the company’s products have been exported to the UK, and that the use of skin from condemned convicts is “traditional” and nothing to “make such a big fuss about”.’

This is seriously fucked.

Iran’s strength is becoming bigger problem for U.S.

`Iran, one of two remaining members of President Bush’s “axis of evil,” is gaining strength and confounding U.S. attempts to curb its growing influence, several experts on Iran say.

Higher oil prices and political progress by Shiite Muslim groups in Iraq and Lebanon are empowering a country that is developing nuclear technology and supporting groups the United States regards as terrorist. As a result, Iran is better able to cause problems for the United States and its allies. [..]

U.S. actions since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have improved Iran’s strategic position, says Richard Clarke, former counterterrorism chief in the Bush and Clinton administrations.

He says Iran has achieved its goals from the 1980s: the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, who invaded Iran in 1980; political rights for Iraq’s Shiite majority and free access to Shiite holy sites in the Iraqi cities of Najaf and Karbala.’


Chimps killed after zoo escape

`Three chimpanzees from a small-town zoo were shot and killed after they escaped from their enclosure and could not be captured, the zoo director said.

The primates at Zoo Nebraska were able to get out of the cage Saturday when a padlock was not completely closed after cleaning, said zoo director Ken Schlueter Jr. He killed the animals with a deputy’s service revolver after a tranquilizer gun didn’t show any effect.’


Botox being used for children with excessive drooling

`A doctor at the McGill University Health Centre has become the first person to treat an infant with Botox because of excessive drooling. Dr. Sam Daniel decided to experiment with the drug when the baby started to drown in his saliva. [..]

Dr. Daniel said the infant suffers from a rare disorder called Charge Syndrome. The child’s parents were distraught because he was drowning in his own saliva and was being kept alive on a ventilator. [..]

“There’s a lot of people that won’t go near him because they’re afraid of the drool. They figure if he’s drooling I’m going to catch something,” Gardner said. After having had two Botox injections, Kevin “went from four bibs a day to one bib a day.”‘


Sex Advice From Sideshow Performers

`How can you tell someone you don’t remember a sexual encounter you had with them?
I had a good answer, but I forgot it. What do you need to discuss it for? Are you going to be sitting over tea and biscuits discussing a play by play of your sexual inadequacies? Hell, I hope that you didn’t “forget” to bring a condom or where the clitoris is.

What’s a sexual practice everyone should try once before they die?
Autoerotic asphyxiation. Who knows? It may be the sexual practice you try right before you die.

What’s one most everyone can go their whole lives without?
Scat.

I cheated on a well-liked boyfriend and we broke up. How can I socially recover with our mutual friends?
Sleep with them, and then no one will feel left out.’


New Orleans strip joint wants to get back to work

`There’s no water for the “wash the girl of your choice” service and there aren’t any girls either, but Big Daddy’s strip club on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street is getting ready to bring back erotic spectacle to the devastated city.

[..] Big Daddy’s general manager, Saint Jones, and a band of helpers defied an evacuation order by arriving to clean up their premises in the historic French Quarter, which escaped largely unscathed from the floods.

[..] Jones, a corpulent man with a strawberry blond beard wearing a black t-shirt reading “I’m smiling because they haven’t found the bodies yet,” foresaw few problems getting strippers.

“It shouldn’t be too hard. Everyone’s going to come back in town and want to work. You know, if you’ve got 50 dancers in Houston and they’re not making money, they’re going to spread out,” he said.’


September 2005 Aurora Gallery

`September is the beginning of aurora season. Why? It has to do with the sun’s magnetic field near Earth–the so-called interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). When the IMF tips south, it opens a crack in Earth’s magnetic defenses against the solar wind, fueling geomagnetic storms. During the weeks around the autumnal equinox, the IMF tips further south, on average, than it does at any other time of the year–hence aurora season.’


Bicyclist Charged With Manslaughter

`A bicyclist was charged with manslaughter after he ran through a stop sign and struck and killed a 71-year-old woman, police said Monday.

Jean Calder died at Good Samaritan Hospital after she was struck Friday night as she crossed a street at an unmarked crosswalk, Corvallis police Capt. Ron Noble said.

Christopher A. Lightning, 51, was charged with manslaughter and reckless driving.

“A car and a bicycle are both vehicles and if they are operated in a way that could be criminal, then charges are filed equally in both situations,” Noble said. “He was going right through a stop sign.”‘


Student cited twice for public urination

`Police say they found Spencer Michael Killette, 21, of 132 S. Columbia St., urinating Friday night in the town parking deck at 150 E. Rosemary St. That was at 11:50 p.m.

Twenty-eight minutes later, Killette was at it again, according to arrest warrants.

“After being cited and released for urinating in public, Mr. Killette walked approximately 50 feet and urinated inside the town parking deck again,” according to the second arrest warrant.’

I dunno about stuff like this. It’s mildly amusing, but is it news? :) Surely reporters have better things to write about. Unfortuntely, I have nothing better to blog about, so there you go. :)


Mind Molester

`The Mind Molester is an instrument of creative electronic harassment. It is an electronic device that can drive your victims a little crazy trying to figure out what it is and where it’s located. Your friends/enemies will become obsessed, awaiting the next chirp trying to determine its location, completely disrupting their normal activities.

Just connect this device to a 9-volt battery and plant it in an appropriate location. It produces a one-second electronic chirp about once every 3 minutes. Due to the chirp’s duration, frequency, and sound characteristics, it’s a very difficult, time-consuming, frustrating and maddening task to locate the unit. And even if they find it, they’ll have no idea what it is.’


Manitoba jail bans tea

`A Manitoba jail has stopped serving tea because some inmates were using tea bags to make cigarettes. [..]

“The gum is boiled and there’s a nicotine residue that’s removed and dried and then sprinkled on the redried tea bag leaves, and then rolled,” jail superintendent Cathy Sandney said Monday.

Jail officials were surprised inmates would go through the painstaking process to get a smoke, Sandney said, because it can take up to two days to make one cigarette.

The jail stopped serving tea last week, but is looking at offering instant tea – which has no bags.’


Police find 8 Ohio kids locked in cages

`The children were all either adopted or foster children, he said.

Authorities said the kids were kept in wooden cages, less than 3 feet by 3 feet, without pillows or blankets. [..]

Police said no charges had been filed against the parents.

“Basically, the parents thought they were providing for the protection of the children from themselves and from each other,” said Sommers.

“They thought there was circumstances with these children that warranted the cages at night,” Sommers added, but he would not go into details of what those circumstances were.’


Is your mind changing?

`Scientists at the University of Chicago have found that two human genes involved in brain size and development are still evolving — and, they suspect, mutating to make people smarter.

The team is so sure of its hunch that it has patented the genes with plans to develop tests to identify those who carry these potentially brain-boosting traits — which appear to be more prevalent in some populations than others.’
