Woolwich Attack: "Let Me Justify Why I Beheaded That Man"+video

In London, a Muslim man beheaded an English soldier publicly on a street. Let that statement sink in. The point is not that it was London, nor that the guy was Muslim and partook in an obvious terrorism assault.

What is intriguing is that the guy killed the man and didn't try to flee. He didn't try to escape or run. He beheaded someone, and then tried to justify the murder ON VIDEO with blood on his hands(literally) and argued with the people standing there. I guess He wanted to go down fighting. He must've known that he was going to be apprehended. Either that is severe commitment or simple insanity.

The people were too dumbfounded and confused as to what had happened. Though I do not live there, I do not think that a public beheading is a daily occurrence in London. And the reaction of people can be described by just one word - "Dafaq?"

What are more confusing are the guy's arguments,
He says that

 "In our land,"
Despite the apparent English accent and having no resemblance of someone born in England.

"our women have to see the same..."
That may be because cunts like you murder people on a whim. Don't you get that you are just lowering the
image of YOUR country and ARE the problem you are describing?




Here's the video, but be warned, it's too surreal and sickening. The nonchalance and calmness of the guy is befuddling.

Like and spread the word of this confusing madness.

Last Shred Of Humanity

I was surfing the internet late at night when I came through an album of prisoners' last meals (which is embedded at the end of this post). These prisoners were to be executed and they had one last wish. But this is more complex than that. It is not just some random guy eating Sushi. This is murderers and arsonists knowing their finality and being offered their last shred of humanity.


I find the concept of a last meal on death row fascinating. The fact that the prisoners have done something so terrible that they aren't deemed worthy to live, or it's too dangerous for them to be around others, but someone out there thought of offering them a huge treat just before they die, anything they want. This act of compassion right before you're executed. It's a bit of a mindfuck in my opinion. You are going to take away someone's life away from him as a punishment, but not without respecting it. You respect the fact that the guy is still human, just not a good one.

It is also the  last time for the prisoner to really think about what he's done. They are being offered something to eat as an act of sympathy and yet, their victims didn't share this kind of sympathy or joy in their end moments. This must be the guiltiest time of their whole life, something which is about to end soon.

These murderers are people. Like us, they had a childhood, a life. They have Memories and thoughts. We are taking away their life, but not without some comfort. This may also be the moment of calm for the prisoners. The significance of this is far greater than anything possible just before death. Some may not deserve this, they may have been animals to their victims. But their executors are not animals. We are not animals.

Prisoners choose their last meal  for different reasons.

Why Iron Man 3 Sucks

The new Iron Man movie was released this Friday. The previous ones had been amazing, if not perfect at pinpointing the actual badassery involved in being a superhero. Iron Man 3 was meant to take it up one level further. It was the struggle against Tony Stark and Iron Man. It was the movie that everyone knew was going to be a blockbuster hit, no matter what. While the latter part remains true, everything else took a backseat.

Obviously, this post is going to have some spoilers. So watch the movie before reading this...or not, 'cause it is kiddy trash. 

ACTING
The movie started with Tony Stark recounting a past event as his iron suits were being blown away in the background. The introductory quote sounded like the writers spent a week trying to say something witty and yet insightful. They failed at both of these attempts. The initial acting from all the actors seemed superficial and completely lacked emotion of any sort. It looked like everyone was trying extra hard to just finish the dialogues and be done with it, go home and watch something better. Well, it will become better once Iron Man comes, right? Who am I kidding, that made it worse, and I thought it was not possible.

THEME

Iron Man 4, coming soon to
theatres near you

Stark is building this prototype suit with little or no armor that he can wear with just the flick of his fingers. The prototype fails, some laughter ensues. Oh, did I tell you, the suit is also capable of being its own handler. It can fly, fight and even protect itself. Not bad for a prototype that is supposed to not quite work, is it? After the creators added everything they thought was cool to the suit, we see a handsome man entering this crappy scenario. He was cool, has awesome hair and wears custom made suits. Everything that warns the viewers that this guy is a douche. He reeks of his own ego and confidence, only to be rejected by Potts.


Now that two characters have had enough screen time, the scene changes to the head is security, a guy who can hardly handle a tablet and sucks at being observant. The very thing he's being paid to do. After a few explosions and some more cool effects, the director thought he could have some fun and relax for some time. The 8 year olds in the theater certainly didn't seem to mind.

Honey, there are more from where these came from

All the while, the henchmen did an excellent job of describing the science beneath the cool...um..things (since they never really explained its implications at all)
Seemed like whenever you got what the thing actually was, the creators changed their powers to make them look more unpredictable when all it did was create cheap surprise tricks.


o.O

Yes, that guy literally pukes fire.

Tony Stark went to extended lengths to charge his suit, even barely escaping from death by a burning woman. And after some time, he had the realization that he had more than a dozen suits which could actually steer themselves. Yeah, Mr Stark, really well thought out plan.

COMBOS

Guest Post: Meeting Jeffrey Archer

Not long ago, my friend Angela met the legend Jeffrey Archer who has written countless prize winning books  and stories/ Here's hat she has to say about it, using her ever so poetic voice.



Master storyteller, his characters possess such dignity, that I almost proposed. Like  his characters, he was also punctual. 
He greeted us by saying how happy he was and then paused for the dramatic effect and continued with flourish, that England won the series. 

The audience was fairly wide-ranging, each clutching their novels, but it was to be duly noted that his fan following was dominated by the ladies, and not only the single ones. 

Neurotic but charming, cocky but hilarious, there never was a dull moment. Never still, like a 5 year old, he jumped around and interacted with everyone. He made plenty of eye-contact which left some 40+ aunties swooning.

That man knew he was better and he wasn't going to waste his time by hiding it.

Hating Famous People

Have you ever heard people say 'you don't have the right to judge him/her'? Well if you didn't already, you have now. It's what wise people say to stupid ignorant bashers trying to criticize the choices made by people whose lives they can't relate to.
What is baffling though, is that these same wise people feel nothing wrong with bashing celebrities and famous personalities. It is like these personalities are made of brick and stone and not flesh and bones.
It is fine that you hate someone's acting or his work. Criticizing it is actually good. But outright insulting someone famous is the mark of someone arrogant. The same people would never insult someone they knew or met, but a celebrity breaks that barrier.

"Akshat, you are just trying to stretch a trivial matter. I am sure that the person in the image had perfect reason to say that Deepika Padukone sucked" - I hear you thinking. But to the skeptics, I offer you this:

Yes, the reason for the person in question saying this is because the celebrity chose to side with another team. But if this is not foul enough, here are 2 more comments on the same post.

Game Of Thrones Season 3: All Men Must Serve

Today's pretty lucky, 2 posts in one day. Well, both of them are equally demanding!
The new Game of Thrones Season aired today. It was everything you would expect it to be, and some more.  The acting is not even comparable to other shows now. Here are a few glimpses of the most important parts of the episode which you can watch here.

Ps: Watch it before looking at these highlights or they will be as unfamiliar as a Dothraki wedding.

Winterfell is smoldering in the opening sequence, that attention to detail was impressive...and sad.

Ygritte is finally back to the wild, and she knows it. You can see her confidence rising higher than Joffrey's obnoxiousness. This about sums up the whole scene.

Tyrion is afraid. He had his fun, now his daddy's come home to take the reigns. We have seen tyrion with crude humor, with quick wits and a cocky demeanor, but now all that has changed. For the first time, he is afraid of what lies ahead.

Davos, damn he needs a moisturizer or something. And his conversation wasn't half of what it was in the book. So yeah, that was a disappointment.

Tywin is back to his glaringly strict attitude. This provides a contrasting beginning to the last scene of season 2 where he had been seen as a father who lost everything and a kind soul while talking to Arya. This was the most touching scene of the episode as well.

Not Everything Is Trolling

Watch this video to know the best troll

It seems to me, as people online grow accustomed to the word trolling, they are simultaneously trying to partake in this 'humorous culture' by posting troll work of their own. It's just the way people try to outdo each other without knowing what is that they are competing for. 

Everything a stranger does on an internet is a trolling attempt these days. Didn't understand something? Trolling. Didn't like the post? Trolling. Lame humour attempt? Trolling. Trolling has become synonymous with joking/pranking to internet laymen who want to be a part of something to bind them with other users and maybe even give them internet points(hint, they don't exist).

Guess what, Trolling refers to a very specific activity where someone actually tries to ruin someone's day in the most offensive way possible.  Usually this person will say extremely offensive and hateful things just to get an emotional response out of someone.

• Telling a joke directed at a friend is NOT trolling
• Criticizing someone is NOT trolling
• And most of all, stupid posts are NOT trolling attempts. Most of the time, they are just that, stupid comments by stupid people.
• NOT every rage comic created by a teen with questionable language skills has trolling in it.

America bombed Hiroshima, it trolled Japan so hard.

Guess what, Russell Peters telling a joke about India is not trolling, he's a comedian and he's doing his job. Nor is a critic criticizing Bieber, he's criticizing him or maybe even sharing his opinions.

If someone comes to you and tells you that your work sucks, that doesn't make him a troll. They are not trolling attempts, but you are a douche for thinking so.

5 More Irresponsibly Badass Live Rock Shows(that didn't make the cut)

If you came here from my recent Cracked Quick fix on Cracked, here are some entries that didn't make the cut. Be sure to like, share, tweet(and whatever else you people are doing now) this post.

1) PUSSY RIOT PERFORMS IN A GUERRILLA WARFARE FASHION 

This Russian band's performance is a kind of music flash mobs, only much, much more badass. Closely resembling Step Up4 movie plot, these Feminist singers are a very secret band/group and most of the identities of the members are not known. 

They appear out of nowhere, with no heavy drum sets or expensive metal guitars, usually in religious places and sing songs asking Putin to acknowledge women's rights. They entered in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour and sang a song with lyrics 'Shit, shit, the Lord is shit'.

 In a country where religious blasphemy is punishable by law(It's Russia. Your argument is invalid), three members of the politically charged band were sentenced to two years after the performance. 

One of the arrested members taunted both Putin and the Church- “I thought the Church loved all its children,” she said in her written statement. “But it turns out it only loves those children who love Putin.”

The Cathedral was chosen because it had, in Pussy Riot’s view, become a commercial center and because the patriarch had just told believers to vote for Putin in the upcoming presidential election.

2) MAYHEM REGULARLY THROWS ANIMALS' HEADS ON ITS AUDIENCE 

Norwegian band, Mayhem is the soul of the shock factor. They are a black metal band and the performances are often weird to say the least, Badass to say at best. But you have to draw a line somewhere when they actually use sheep/pigs' heads during live performances, licking, and sliding fingers on it like one of the chick fans. They end these usual performances with the head thrown out towards the audience to you know, 'play with it'. The band also once hit a guy  who was hospitalized when they used sheep's head instead of a pig's which is apparently more dangerous in projectile form. We all learned something new today.

Quote

. 'We usually use pigs' heads but we couldn't get one that night. We like to throw them to the audience at the end of the show so they can, y'know, play around with them.'

3) GWAR SPRAYS FAKE BLOOD ON AUDIENCE IN CLOSED HALL CONCERTS

GWAR is a satirical heavy metal band known for its Sci-Fi/horror based costumes. The 'satire' in its genre is not just a play of words. 

Humble Bundle: Every Gamer's Utopia

That's the entire gaming community coming together

Imagine going to a bookstore full of wonderful underrated books and you could pay whatever you wanted for them. The best part, the money would go to a charity.

Now this is not happy illusion, but an actual thing..except with video games. The thing is real innovation and demands applaud from every part of your soul. In a world full of greedy companies and cunning gaming corporations, indie developers show the way towards freedom.

This is one of those things that makes you respect online strangers even more. How long have you thought that a particular game was great but not priced accordingly? Now you can make open payment a reality.

WHAT IS HUMBLE BUNDLE

The concept is pretty easy to understand as well as unique. They promote a game every week(for Mac, Windows and Linux) and people an pay anything they want for the games in that period. The limit for acquiring Steam keys is a measly 1$ and that too because some spammers had to try and ruin the system and fake create thousands of accounts to pay .01$(the previous limit) and get steam keys for other purposes.

You can choose how much of the money you pay goes to charity and how much to the developers(plus some tip for those of you feeling extraordinarily generous).
There are multiple ways to pay for games and they are all quite simple. After that, it's a free ride to a better conscience AND an awesome game!

USER FUNDED

The developers earn money on their games during these few days only by the generosity of the internet gamers. Also, people who may have wanted the game but thought the price wasn't just, can now pay what they think is reasonable, or up to their capabilities. Even better, the same people can determine what the developers earn and what the charities get.

THE GAMES
I hear your skeptic mind saying-'But these games must not be good enough'. For those of you who may yet have doubts, I present to you these intuitive games that the company has allowed custom payment on for in the past couple of years:

Yes, this game too

• Amnesia: Dark Descent(now 9.99$)
