At the end of the summer I lost 53 pounds and gained a wealth of knowledge about not only how my body works but also how to keep it healthy. While I won’t be posing in King Magazine anytime soon, I’m excited to finally take a step in the right direction.
The Trashman Cometh
If there is one invention that maxed out the life ruining potential of the internet it would have to be the web camera. No other device give people the ability to shoot themselves in the proverbial foot like these tiny little devils. Wither attached to your laptop, phone or the old standard Quickcam , people just can’t get enough of incriminating themselves on the internet.
I’m not really sure how they justify a man saying that he wants Black and Latin babies to die is a satirical statement, then again people think Tila Tequila is a champion for gay rights
Before this summer I thought I’ve seen it all, if there was anything more shocking than pre-teens sadistically beating up one of their peers and then uploading it to YouTube for street cred I just couldn’t fathom it. After the girl fight fiasco there was the infamous Burger King video that was uploaded onto Myspace.
An employee of the franchise apparently didn’t think that employees should only wash their hands at work, he posted a short video of him laughing and joking with co-workers as he took a bubble bath in the store’s sink- the same one where they wash the food that they serve to you the consumer.
What surprised me was the mans reaction to the consequences of his actions, not only was he fired, but everyone that happened to be working, even those unaware of what too place. Somehow, this young man had forgotten that just because you’re filming yourself doesn’t mean you’re in a movie. Filming something in the name of entertainment doesn’t render your impervious the results of your action.
There was no other incident this summer that personified this phenomenon like the Arrest of Anthony “Trashman” Dunn. Dunn , a pornographer, was gaining popularity on video streaming sites because of his outlandish claims of starting a one man genocide of Black and Latina women by infecting thousands with the AIDS virus.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around why thousands of people would watch a middle aged man dressed like a Wal-es and spew hatred against Blacks and Latinas, but eh Uwe Boll still gets to make movies so there’s always an audience for things that are tasteless and horrible.
I suppose that after his “success” with his AIDS video, Trashman decided to step it up a notch, and add infanticide to the mix. Dunn uploaded videos claiming that he had convinced employees of Gerber baby foods to put cyanide into random bottle of food in an effort to kill the babies of Black and Latin women.
The most shocking part of this story was that his fans were “shocked” that he ended up arrested and facing at the least 10 years in prison. It seems that people need a refresher in the basics of free speech and personal responsibility. When the “Trashman”’s account was suspended from YouTube there were cries of censorship.
Many of the “Trashman”’s fans believed he was making satirical public service announcements, warning women about the dangers of unprotected sex. If he was trying to make a point or not, there’s some basic rules conduct.
If you make a video, or any public broadcast, that will potentially cost a large corporation massive amounts on my prepared to be sued. If you make a video where you say you are going to kill massive amounts of people, be prepared to go to jail. Just like if you scream fire in a theatre, you’re going to have some explaining to do.
