Austin Powers rape suspect

2008-10-10T08:03:00.000-07:00

The actor who played Random Task in the first "Austin Powers" movie has been charged with a vicious gang rape.

Joe Son's arrest has been all over newspapers in the O.C., but no one connected the dots -- that the suspect is actually Dr. Evil's henchman -- until now.

Here's how it all went down. Son pleaded guilty back in May to felony vandalism. The plea required him to fork over a DNA sample. Investigators ran his sample and found Son's DNA connected him to an unsolved gang rape back in 1990, where a woman was pistol-whipped, raped, threatened with death and eventually blindfolded and released naked.

Son has been charged with five felony counts of rape, two felony counts of forcible sodomy, two felony counts of sodomy in concert by force, seven felony counts of forcible oral copulation, and one felony count of sexual penetration by foreign object by force.

Son faces a maximum sentence of 275 years to life if convicted.

These are not miniatures!

2008-10-09T11:51:00.000-07:00

Time shift photography is here you change the focus and the angle of a normal photograph or film image to make it appear to be built from miniatures...and it looks pretty insane.

2008-08-19T19:23:00.000-07:00

Apparently this guy, Ángel Pantoja Medina, knew that he was gonna get killed and asked that he wanted to be mourned standing up. So instead of lying down in a coffin, he is leaning against a wall. It seriously creeps me out. I GUESS the family should have respected his wishes...but still!

I hate Postsecret

2008-08-19T07:37:00.000-07:00

I'll be honest with you. I used to love postsecret. The idea that people were actually sending in their secrets and the fact that some were so strange was wonderful to me. But now, now I just hate postsecret. I hate it because this bastard named Frank is actually selling books with the secrets. This guy didn't write a book. He's selling other people's secrets! Just the thought that this guy MIGHT be making a living off of these books drives me insane. And to be honest sometimes I don't buy the secrets either. Like when I read something so ridiculous I just feel like going "really? you really enjoy doing that?" cause yea....Oh and sometimes the secrets are just so overdramatic and retarded. Like when I read the usual "I was gonna kill myself but I wrote this instead"...hmm...maybe you should have gone to see a shrink...perhaps? I mean, there are ads for the books and for the facebook everywhere on the damn thing. Okay so maybe you relate to some of the secrets. Maybe they touch you in some way. But don't dive into a pool of pity and despair. Geeeeeeez.

Bigfoot?

2008-08-15T06:28:00.000-07:00

Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, a pair of Bigfoot-hunting weirdos from Georgia claim they've found a bigfoot corpse and nearby there were other live ones. The carcass of the furry half-man, half-ape is 7 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs more than 500 pounds, they say. But here's the thing, they won't say where the body is because they don't want anyone disturbing it. The group says the animal is male, has reddish hair and "blackish-gray" eyes and human-like feet, hands and teeth. The skeptic in me says "yeah, right" but the x-files lover also says "oh boy!"

Dragonball posters

2008-08-03T07:23:00.000-07:00

Eh, I know I'm kinda late but I saw the new-ish posters for the new Dragonball movie. And I have to say that I'm not impressed. Not only that but it really doesn't have the look OR feel of the Dragonball I used to watch. I almost feel like they UNdragonballed it. Below is Emmy Rossum as Bulma and Justin Chatwin as Goku.

Oh and here are promotional photos featuring Eriko Tamura (Mai), Jamie Chung (Chi-Chi) and Justin Chatwin (Goku). from http://mymovie.blogbus.com/

I think I'm obsessed with random talents. And my newest obsession is hand shadow shows, so I just thought I'd share some videos I found!

Okay, so that last one wasn't hand shadows...it was more like interpretive dance shadows...but its still pretty neat.

Montauk Monster

2008-08-01T17:03:00.000-07:00

What seems to be floating around the internet lately is a photo of a "monster that washed up on the shores on Montauk, NY. As usual I find out after everyone has seen it. I think it's probably a dead pit bull or bulldog...some sort of dog or raccoon, perhaps. I mean, it doesn't look it but roaming around the ocean for who knows how long could change the appearance of anything.

Rise to the Ashes?

2008-07-30T08:44:00.000-07:00

Sam Raimi has been hinting at an Evil Dead 4 for years and it seems that it may finally come true. During the Comic-Con this weekend, he was promoting his film, Drag Me To Hell, and he had this to say:

“I love working with Bruce Campbell… He’s super willing to do anything to make it right. He’s a very funny guy, but mostly he’s got this quality where he will physically do anything to get the shot done right, so I would love to work with Bruce again because I’d love to test those limits.
I’d love to make another Evil Dead picture. And actually that’s in the wheelhouse. I’d like to work on it with my brother Ivan [Raimi] when he comes up next week."

Hopefully its not too late to bring back The Chin to the masses!

A dark conundrum

2008-07-29T21:33:00.000-07:00

Today, I've read a lot of people saying that they think that Johnny Depp would have been able to play a better joker than Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. I've also read that some people think that Katie Holmes did a better job than Maggie Gyllenhaal. Now I personally totally disagree on both counts but I'm wondering what does anyone else think? Wait...does anyone even read this blog? *crickets* Oh well!

I'm sure he saw it...

MTV sucks...

2008-07-25T09:10:00.000-07:00

Apparently MTV is going to remake The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The remake will use the original script but…”may also include music not featured in the original.” Not only that but it will be a 2-hour TV movie...I personally don't see how they could possibly remake it...but I'm sure they will find a way to massacre the shit out of it.

Pampered pussy

2008-07-24T21:01:00.000-07:00

I found an article in The New York Times about a new health spa for women...only for women...cause its for vajay-jays. The place is called Phit and it was created by Dr. Lauri Romanzi (yep, its a chick), a gynecologist who performs pelvic reconstruction surgery.

I'll just give you some snipets from the article:
"The spa is essentially a gussied-up examination room down the hall from Dr. Romanzi’s medical practice. At the spa, the signature treatment will be a $150 gynecological exam — in which a client contracts her pelvic muscles around Dr. Romanzi’s fingers — to determine by feel whether muscle tone is weak, moderate or strong." 150 BUCKS!?!?!?!!?...yikes.

“If you can vote and you have a vagina, you should do these,” she (doc. octopussy) said. “It’s the dental floss of feminine fitness.”

“The outer layer can become almost scrotal, very wrinkly and lax,” Dr. Romanzi said" ....ew....

btw, some some of the procedures include

Kegel Phitness
Do-It-Yourself
Baby Boot Camp
Inner Strength Personal Trainer
The "Other" Face Lift
Lazy Susan
Core Restore
Lip Sync

So its basically really awkward procedures that are more expensive than just getting a gigolo with funny little names like...The Cunt Hunt...or...The Clam Bake...or something else like that.

2008-07-23T22:21:00.001-07:00

Tattoos are a great way to express yourself and you're love for pretty much anything. But seriously, sometimes you wonder what these people were thinking..
is it kinda awesome? yea. Would YOU get that done? No thanks.

I don't know what scares me more...the thought that someone thought this was funny...or the size of this guy's belly button

Uhm...yea...(mermen don't have genitals...phhhaaw)

yea...I don't have much too say about that...

That seriously scares the crap outta me...*shiver*

I saw Hellboy II last night and I thought it was pretty awesome. One of the things that I always notice with Guillermo Del Toro movies is that visually...its just mind blowing. The creatures and the sets are always incredible...so anyways I found some of the concept art for some creatures from the troll market...so enjoy!

So Its sort of like being a stripper..over the internet? Wow, don't you love technology...Here's how it works: Girls that want a bigger rack but daddy decided not to pay for it can become a member and have creepy guys hound them until they've earned enough money to look even sluttier!The men or as they call them, "benefactors" can:

Send a direct donation to her for her procedure
Purchase message credits that allow you to send messages to the ladies
Request personal custom videos from the ladies
Receive custom photos of your favorite girls (you may even request specific outfits*)
Chat 1-on-1 online in real time while getting to know the ladies
and more...

So its like a ho...except you know for sure they arent gonna do anything silly with they're money...like feed they're kids or something like that. "And remember... the best part is seeing the newly transformed ladies after the surgery when they return to the website to post pictures of the results. You can take pride in knowing that you helped her improve her self esteem and self image!"

2008-07-09T08:29:00.000-07:00

Uhm...I know I had told myself I wouldn't write anything private here and I'd just talk about things I saw around the net but eh...I don't know. It turns out that this morning my great grandma passed away and I still can't get over it. She was 98, which means she lived a long and healthy life. She always seemed to be immortal, hell even my grandma would joke about how she would outlive her. And for a while, it seemed like it would be true. Its just one of those things that you knew would happen at some point but just didn't expect it to ever happen. I mean, I didn't cry or anything. For her last few years she was bitter and mean. She would constantly mistreat my grandma who practically gave up her life to take care of her. Ever seen The Haunting...you know, the lady that could hear her mom banging on her door with the cane even after she died. It was like that sort of deal. To be honest, I really disliked my great grandma for the way she treated my grandma. Its almost like the had a sick love/hate relationship and I couldn't stand it. About a year back things got so bad that my grandma put her in an old people's home, and I really couldnt have been happier. I felt like it was a leech that had finally be removed, and I know that sounds terribly cruel but if my great grandma had a full life where she traveled and did as she pleased, why couldnt my grandma? My grandma is still young, why does she have to waste her life away on someone that already had a great life...I don't know... Anyways, I went to visit my great grandma at the home a couple of months back and...I got really sad. She had lost tons of weight and could hardly move out of bed. She looked like an empty shell...like she was well, slowly dying. I couldnt handle it...I felt like I had to go away and shower so as to not bring it along with me...I don't know exactly what 'it' was, but I know I didnt want it. Anyways...Now she's gone and I don't even know what to feel. I'm happy I guess, that she won't suffer...that she will be in a better place...that she will finally be in peace. But I can't help but be terrofied for my grandma...I don't know how she will deal with it...My grandma, who practically raised me...I can't help but just be nervous

What's in a word?

2008-07-08T11:11:00.000-07:00

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/US/07/07/new.dictionary.words.ap/index.html

The dictionary has added a bunch of new words, most of which are for the hip and trendy crowd.
Some of the new words include:
edamame- immature green soybeans
pescatarian-a vegetarian who eats fish (so not really a vegetarian)
prosecco- a sparkling Italian wine
infinity pool- an outdoor pool with an edge designed to make water appear to flow into the horizon

So...is there a new word that means full of shit?

If you're happy and you know it...

2008-07-08T09:07:00.000-07:00

So I read an article about the happiest countries and I was happy to see that most countries are relatively happy. The countries that are happiest generally have high literacy rate, high education levels, low unemployment rates, and plenty of natural resources. But don't think that all those things (and a lot of money) are the only things that matter in when questioning happiness. It turns out that many countries that have a rich culture and lots of national pride ranked happier than others. By the way, United States ranked 17th...meaning I guess, that the land of opportunities still has room for improvement. So here's a rundown of the happiest countries:

10- Norway: filled with natural resources like petroleum, hidropower, fish forests, and minerals. It also has a high literacy rate, education level and per-capita income.

9- Mexico: Although there are still many poor areas, most people are very optimistic. Mexico also has a wonderfully rich culture, natural beauty and scientific import.

8- Ireland: They sure don't let the rainy weather let them down. In 2005, Ireland topped a quality-of-life index compiled by The Economist based on nine criteria that ranged from health to gender equality to political freedom.

7- Luxembourg: Though its a small country its citizens are insanely proud of they're heritage and it doesn't hurt that Luxembourg' economy is high-performing, boasting low inflation and low unemployment.

6- Guatemala: Another point for Central America! Even though it may not be as well off economically they still manage to be happy campers.

5- Canada: No surprise there...Canadia's score was largely due to its citizens' health, wealth and access to education, eh?

4- Sweden: They're government boasts many services such as tax-funded child care, paid parental leave, ceilings on health care costs, tax-funded education up to and including college, retirement pensions and tax-funded dental care for citizens until they turn 20.

3- Australia: Australians were found to be happier than citizens of other nations even though they tended to work long hours and enjoyed less job security.

2- Finland: It is the freest nation in the world when it comes to civil liberties, freedom of the press, low corruption levels and high levels of political rights. Oh and guess what? Traffic ticket fines are based on your ability to pay!

1- Iceland: The country is a favorite stamping ground of artists and cultivates a creative spirit. Indeed, the government supports writers with generous subsidies. So I guess that's where I'll be moving to...
