In the Future, Your Drug Dealer Will Be a Printer

Scoring drugs is one of life’s great ballaches. Either a friend knows some guy who lives on some shady estate full of people sharpening their dog’s teeth on park swings. Or you get them off some random in a club whose entire body is an event horizon for his giant pupils. But don’t worry, it [...]

Jerry Sandusky + Call Me Maybe (Pedo Remix)

This is a video remix that is essentially saying, yo! Fox, ABC, and all the other networks, why don’t you stop exploiting victims’ suffering by plastering their horror all over the TVs and interwebs for everyone to juicily lap up all the gory details and your ratings go sky high.

I’m Rick Perry and I Approve This Message.

Faith made America strong–according to the Fascist mind of Rick Perry–and Rick Perry’s here to make it weak. As weak as his idiotic mind that hearts religion but lacks tolerance.

Peace Talks

Words vs bullets – who’s going to win? Well when they’re flying out of two guys’ mouths then probably the words, at least according to this world-wide appeal for ‘International alert’. These two might want to take a closer look at their diet, whatever it is they’re eating is causing some strange symptoms. Thank god [...]
