Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened yesterday : Connecticut Shooting
Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened yesterday :
"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.
It's because of the way the media
reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.
CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.
You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."

TOP 10 WORST REASONS FOR VOTING NO TO THE RH BILL
The ranking is subjective of course. So feel free to rank them yourselves. Let's see who will emerge number 1. :D
CLARIFICATION: #9-10 is not a direct quote. My mistake for putting the quotation marks. The "and you know the rest" is added by me because he recited the entire prayer and I couldn't put the whole thing in the space

Unbelievable David Beckham.... Diet Pepsi
While on the beach in California shooting a commercial for Diet Pepsi, David Beckham shows why he's the world's most famous soccer player.
What was your generation like? High School Life
My Generation.
A simple short we produced to remind us what it was like back in the old days during our primary school days.
Share this with your school mates, ex school mates, ex college mates, colleagues to remind them how simple life was back then

Carnapping caught on a security camera in a parking lot
Caught on a security camera in a parking lot . WATCH THIS - ONLY A FEW SECONDS
Make sure your wife, husband, TEENAGERS, and all you friends see this! No sound, just watch. You will be flabbergasted. Okay, I think both men AND women should be aware of this. It COULD have happened to anyone of us. If you notice he got away with her car, purse, and keys without touching her . . . Worst of all, she couldn't even give a description of the person to the police (thankfully there wasn't a child in the car.) I hate to admit it, but I could see myself doing exactly what she did. I'm glad I saw this video.
