How the **** do they get pled down to a god damn misdemeanor?! The guards even get to keep their pensions. What the **** is wrong with American prisons?!

Really powerful corrections officer union and a weak prosecutor. Keeping their pensions is beyond f*cked.

So, I have a friend that has property in Jamaica (my friend who's brother died a while back that we used to jam with), and he goes there for 6 months out the year each year. I call his cell every once in a while to check and see if he's back yet, and yesterday he picked up, which meant he's back. Hooray! He's one of my oldest and dearest friends, so I'm all happy and ****, and he tells me to come over since he's got some big story to tell me (he's an old biker dude, and has a ton of "Holy ****! Are You Kidding Me?" stories), so I tell him I'll be there in 20 minutes. I get there, and we sit down for a little catch up. He tells me about his Jamaican girl friend and how some **** over an argument got real escalated over the course of a few days, and ended up with two men firing Glocks through a window at a shop they were playing cards at. He said he was right under the window, and one of the gunman looked at him while firing into the family that were sitting at the table. I come to work this morning and do a search on Jamaican shooting near Negril, and this is the first result:

Five women shot, one dead in Negril - News - JamaicaObserver.com

He's very lucky to be alive.

Haha, holy crap, I remember drawing that in the 80s. I always associated it with metal bands for some reason.

University lecturer plays students X-rated video of herself - Telegraph

Quote:

University drama students were stunned when their lecturer played them an X-rated video of performance theatre - showing her vagina.

Lauren Barri-Holstein screened a clip of her production Splat!, which features graphic female nudity.

As part of the introductory presentation to her Theatre and its Others module at Queen Mary University of London, the actress and PhD student showed first-year students the explicit material.

The graphic clip was described by Ms Barri-Holstein as "feminist performance art concerned with the female body".

The intimate performance shows her inserting a knife handle into her vagina and throwing red tomatoes at the blade, giving birth to a small, plastic Bambi figurine, and inflating a condom.

Ms Barri-Holstein, creator of theatre company The Famous, said the work - which also shows scenes in which she urinated on stage and dangled naked from a harness - is relevant to her teaching module.

A drama student, speaking to student newspaper The Tab, said: "It was surreal. I honestly didn't know how to react. I don't think I'll ever be able to look her in the eye in person, it's just weird.

"It's not even the fact we saw her lady parts, it's the fact I literally have no idea how the clip was in any way related to this module.

"It was just so extreme and I don't understand why it was in any way necessary."
:D

If anyone wants to see the video post itt and I'll PM it to you. This is too funny.

Watched it. WTF. Do any sane people do performance art? Just note that if any members respond that they in fact have done performance art, my silence should be interpreted as a blank face and raised eyebrow.

Not a new story (just found out about it today because Steven Wilson's new album is loosely based on it) but man, messed up.

For a split second the fact that I may be going blind wasn't as scary.

Whenever I see the words "feminist" and "performance art" used together in a sentence, I know there's an unintentionally funny visual train wreck of a performance around the bend. :laughing:
