Anonymous Hacks Syrian President’s Email Accounts

Posted on 02/09/2012 by Mr. Pink

Anonymous has released hundreds of damaging e-mails stolen from a web server used by Syrian President (and murderer) Bashar al Assad as well as members of his cabinet.

The group claims that many of the account passwords, including al Assad’s, were 12345.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you probably know that this is the guy who’s been ordering the slaughter his own people, who want him out of office.

STD Rates Skyrocketing Among Seniors

Posted on 02/06/2012 by Mr. Pink

According to recent study published in the Student British Medical Journal, cases of sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise among U.S., Canadian and British baby boomers. In fact, infection rates have doubled over the last decade as fewer seniors practice safe sex.

The study also found that an incredible 80 percent of adults between the ages of 50 and 90 are sexually active. In other words, there’s a very good chance that your grandma still gets the dick on a regular basis – and it’s probably not your grandpa who’s laying pipe.

Seattle Library Upholds Man’s Right to View Pornography

Posted on 02/05/2012 by Mr. Pink

The Lake City library in Seattle, Washington is making big headlines over the controversial decision to uphold a local man’s “right” to view pornography on library computers despite a complaint from a woman who says her young daughters were exposed to adult content.

It’s an interesting story, to say the least. I can’t say that I would approve of someone viewing some of the content here on What The Christ? in front of children, so I’m really not sure how to respond to this issue. Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.

Gamer Sat Dead In Internet Cafe For Nine Hours

Posted on 02/03/2012 by Mr. Pink

Chen Rong-yu, 23, died in an Internet cafe in New Taipei, Taiwan earlier this week while playing League of Legends. That in itself isn’t anything particularly unusual. A lot of people have died in Asian Internet cafes over the years by way of violence or fatigue.

What makes Rong-yu’s death bizarre is the fact that nobody noticed that he was dead for almost nine hours. He was finally reported dead when a waitress noticed he wasn’t moving.

Prosecutors Drop Lance Armstrong Doping Investigation

Posted on 02/03/2012 by Mr. Pink

Justice Department prosecutors announced earlier today that they are closing their criminal investigation of seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong without filing any charges that he used performance-enhancing drugs.

No reason was provided for the sudden decision, although it’s believed to be the result of a total lack of evidence. Armstrong has denied the allegations from the start.

Man Arrested In Chile For Stealing Chunk of Glacier

Posted on 02/02/2012 by Mr. Pink

Police in Chile are detaining a man accused of stealing five tonnes of ice from a glacier in Patagonia. It was found in a cooler truck, the driver of which could soon face charges of both theft and violation of a national monument.

The ice was on its way to be sold for use in “designer” ice cubes for cocktails at expensive bars in Santiago. No, that’s not a joke. There’s actually a market for this bullshit.

Egyptian Football Riots Leave 74 Dead, Hundreds Injured

Posted on 02/01/2012 by Mr. Pink

Deadly riots broke out in Egypt today following a football (soccer) match. Authorities say that 74 are confirmed dead and hundreds more have been injured. It’s unclear whether intense sports rivalries or political unrest caused the clashes, which occurred in the city of Port Said.

Many of those who died fell from bleachers inside the stadium. Others were killed in fights and clashes with police. More than a thousand injuries have been reported and the death toll is expected to climb before authorities can restore any semblance of order to the city.

Porn Star Tori Black Arrested For Domestic Violence

Posted on 02/01/2012 by Mr. Pink

Award winning porn star Tori Black was arrested and charged with domestic violence in Las Vegas last week along with the father of her child after the two got into an ugly drunken fight – over their baby’s formula.

Officers responded to a call from the Hard Rock Hotel early last Tuesday. Black, whose legal name is Michelle Chapman, told police that she had been drinking before arguing with her fiancee about breast milk.

Black admitted punching fiancee Lyndell Anderson in the head. Anderson shoved her to the ground.

Both Black and Anderson were arrested. Black was in Las Vegas for the AVN Awards. With her baby. As if that weren’t bad enough, she didn’t even win an award this year.

Pfizer Issues Recall On Birth Control

Posted on 02/01/2012 by Mr. Pink

Pfizer issued a massive recall on more than one million packets of birth control pills today because they may actually raise the likelihood of pregnancy. The pills, which are marketed by Akrimax Rx Products in the United States, contain too many or too few active tablets.

I’m guessing that there will be a lot of lawsuits over this one.
