So if these images disturb you, if they tear at your heart and eat at you don't just sit there. Don't just stand by and allow yourself to become desensitized to the horrors that go on around you!

Disturbed
I believe in watching (and reading) things that disturb me, because if I am not disturbed by watching a little girl lying in the street after being run over by two vans whose drivers didn't care and passersby just stare and walk on or seeing a tiger trapped and dying of starvation/dehydration while its habitat is destroyed just miles from it or reading the numbers tattooed on the arm of a Jewish child in a concentration camp then I am no longer moved to action. I am no longer the person I want to be if these things no longer bother me.
So if these images disturb you, if they tear at your heart and eat at you don't just sit there. Don't just stand by and allow yourself to become desensitized to the horrors that go on around you!

Tunak Tunak Tun
Today's song is Indian. I am, once again, trying to broaden my musical horizons and this is what I came up with! Donnie has been asking me to post this for a few days now and admittedly, I've been meaning to!
This song is sung by Daler Mehndi, who is just awesome. I mean, just look at him!
Doesn't he just scream awesome?
"Tunak Tunak Tun" was released in 1998 and was, apparently, the first music video in India to use the technology of Blue screen (also known as Green Screen and Chroma Key). It has become not only popular in India, but a cult hit in various other countries around the world and an Internet meme.
So, for your viewing and listening pleasure, here is Tunak Tunak Tun by Daler Mehndi.

A Nurse, Linda Kaufman, is being re-sentenced for forcing mentally ill patients to work in the nude and to perform sex acts (while billing the government and families for it as "therapy").

Okay, what do you do when you hit a dog, but the dog is still alive? Do you hit it repeatedly with a hammer and a machete to "put it out of its misery"? No? Well this guy did. Luckily the dog survived, however the driver of the car might not after the owner of the dog took said machete and hammer and beat the hell out of the other guy.

And a girl, who didn't want to marry the one her parent's picked for her, CUT OUT HER TONGUE AND OFFERED IT TO THE GODS!!

A justice of the peace refused to marry an interracial couple. And guess what? It happened just a little while ago this year.

A woman had 15 abortions in 17 years. She wrote a book about her "addiction" to destroying life.

Songs of the South... Korea that is. ^^
Current mood: Amused
G-Dragon from BIGBANG. This is from his first Solo Album "Heartbreaker". The album is actually really solid too, I love almost all the songs. The video is quite imaginative and has a preview of his song "Breathe" at the end of it. And let me tell you, there is nothing cuter than a sleeping Asian man that can sing and has some awesome muscles ^^ Then again, that's what does it for me.
And now for the NEWS!
In Norwell, Massachusetts a couple, Jared Garfagna and Sara Mohn, assaulted a worker at KFC because they were "upset over the slowness of their order". Not only that, but apparently the gentleman was assaulted because he asked them to stop yelling curse words due to children waiting in line. The victim had cuts on his EYELIDS and WRISTS but for some reason refused Medical treatment.

Deadly flooding in India has claimed 205 victims thus far. Flooding was actually WORSENED by AUTHORITIES after they released water from rain-swollen resevoirs. While it was necessary to do this (so that the resevoirs would not burst) it did not help the already drowning situation.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,559800,00.html
There is a Serial Rapist on the loose in Kansas. Authorities are warning students to be aware and cautious during upcoming college fall breaks. The rapist is suspected in 5 incidents in Lawrence and Manhattan. The Police officials believe the man is a white, slender male of medium height. They say he usually is armed and wears something over his face.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,559880,00.html?test=latestnews
And lastly, a Los Angeles man is being charged with sexual battery by fraud, identity theft, multiple counts of practicing medicine without certification and other sex charges. He molested men he lured to his "sperm clinic" with promises of $4,000 for sperm going toward stem cell research. He apparently gave "physical exams" before the donations.

That's your news for the day and your song. Enjoy!! ^^

Fa-la-la-Follow the Yellow Brick Road!
Current mood: Breezy
Okay I couldn't resist that one partially because of the article I'm about to share with you right now!
Get this, in a Mountain Commune in Kunming (Southern China) there is a village where you must be 4'3" tall to get in. I'm not kidding, it's a village made completely of dwarves or "little" people. I don't know which is politically correct anymore. Not only that, but they dress up like fairy tale characters to bring in money from Tourism! "As small people we are used to being pushed around and exploited by big people. But here there aren't any big people and everything we do is for us," said spokesman Fu Tien.
Don't believe me? http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?Chinese_dwarves_set_up_their_own_village&in_article_id=745272&in_page_id=2
Rome, Italy: Mudslide caused by heavy overnight rains flooded the Sicilian city of Messina. At least 20 people were killed during the deluge and several cars and buildings were swept away. Another 40 people were hospitalized due to various injuries caused by the flooding. Several hundred people are seeking shelter in gyms and schools due to sudden homelessness.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33136687/ns/world_news-europe/
My favorite president (besides John Quincy Adams) Barack Obama met with his top Afghan war commander in Copenhagen, Denmark. The meeting took place privately aboard Air Force One on Friday for a talk the White House described as productive. Apparently they are trying to decide whether or not to send more troops to stomp out more Al Qaeda or to send only some to help out in Pakistan. Not only that, but Obama was in Denmark to place the United State's bid to host the 2016 Olympics Games.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33136780/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/
So some guy named Enrique Gonzalez and his friend, Travis Gorman, apparently TATTOOED a GANG symbol on the prior's SEVEN YEAR OLD SON! He is not going to get a life sentence for this (under the Mayhem Charge), but does face a few years in jail for Cruel and inhumane treatment of a child.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,559241,00.html
A FIVE year old Texas Boy shot an 800lb. Alligator in the head, thus saving himself from being killed. Apparently he had been trained by his father since he was 4 years old to handle a gun and it came in handy when an 800lb Gator came onto their Texas property.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,559103,00.html
And last, but definitely NOT least, in India there were clusters of unhatched Dinosaurs Eggs found by geologists! The eggs were about 13-20cm in diameter and lying in sandy nests about 1.2m wide, under ash from volcanic eruptions.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,558980,00.html
And now, your song of the day!
And an extra video of Gackt, because it makes me giggle more than anything I've ever seen (well besides Debbie Reynolds being Princess Leia's [Carrie Fisher] mom... That makes me giggle very hard and I don't know why.)! Don't worry, it's subtitled in English so you know what he is saying. ^^
