Facebook | ABSOLUT® Vancouver Submission Criteria

Did anyone know about this? Absolut is offering a $120,000 grant to some enterprising individual that submits “a unique initiative designed to help foster and support creativity, leadership, innovation and excellence in the visual arts”.

I’m kind of pissed because I just know something ridiculous is going to win.

Iraqi woman, 20, dies; police in Arizona say father ran her over - CNN.com

(CNN) — A 20-year-old woman from Iraq has died in an Arizona hospital, nearly two weeks after her father, police say, ran her over with a car because she had become “too Westernized.”

Not to make light of this, but isn’t running someone over with a car a pretty “Westernized” way to kill someone?

A comparison between Wrestling and Rap music

I’ve been think about this lately. However, my take was: Both wrestlers and rappers claim superiority of skills that have no real tangible or objective way to judge. I don’t think I can think of another area that does this. Not to mention similarities in their constant flexing of strength and swagger. And this is how careers are made in both professions, claiming to be better than the rest.

You can’t really claim that Biggie was “better” than Tupac (I’d argue that, but that’s my subjective opinion) because they’re completely different and you can’t really claim Andre the Giant was better than the Ultimate Warrior because wrestling is fake.

I wish I could accurately describe the kind of anger and disappointment I’m feeling towards the media as this Fort Hood shooting unfolds. The Vancouver Sun, for instance, mentioned that the shooter was Muslim in the 4th sentence of an article while waiting for the 20th PARAGRAPH to mention he was being tormented by his peers and was about to be deployed to Iraq. I’m obviously not making excuses for this heinous violence, however I can’t help but think that the two latter factors are so much more relevant in shaping our understanding of what happened there today. Pretty happy that this industry is in its final death throes.

Real talk.

Real talk.

“ Nader Hasan also told a local Fox affiliate that his cousin said he heard “horrific things” from soldiers who had served in combat, and that he had been “dealing with harassment from his military colleagues.

If I said that this whole scenario loosely seems like a microcosom for 9/11 would that make sense? The whole being harassed and retaliating (“blowback”) thing and rather than focusing on the bigger issue at hand (“how we treat each other”; “foreign/social relationships”) all anyone wants to talk about is his religion.

I’m probably entirely wrong, but it was a thought I had.
“ Gen. Cone added that soldiers are not armed on the base: “As a matter of practice, we do not carry weapons — this is our home.

I hope this statement confused or angered a bunch gun nuts in the US.
