Guantanamo Bay Prison Video Released


A prisoner’s lawyers have released the first video footage of inside the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay to the media.

Ten minutes of footage was selected from over seven hours of interrogation video of twenty-one-year-old Omar Khadr. In the video Khadr cries for help, complains of mistreatment, impaired vision and mobility. He told pleaded with agents that he was not healing well. “No I'm not. You're not here... I lost my eyes. I lost my feet. Everything!" Khadr said.

Khadr was fifteen years old when he was detained in Guantanamo Bay. He was accused of setting off a hand grenade that killed a US soldier in Afghanistan in 2002.

Khadr’s lawyers hope the footage will outrage viewers, but Pentagon spokesman, Navy Cmdr. J.D. Gordon, maintained that there has been no mistreatment in an interview with the AP. “Our policy is to treat detainees humanely and Khadr has been treated humanely,” Gordon said.

This controversial video will likely cause debate over the treatment of prisoners in the Guantanamo facility.

Diddy Reports All Time 'Bitchass' High

Even super hero Hancock is no match for the bitchassness threat levels, which have now reached a level orange, Diddy reports. “Them haters, they out there, they, they out there, Diddy said. “They ain’t got no weed, they, they lips is ashy, they ain’t got no money – they don’t know what to do, they sittin’ around talking about n------, they hating on the Internet…”


Is Diddy on drugs, or funnier than we originally conceived? Maybe he’s just overdue for a nice ball wax? Whatever the case, his blog is fantastic. Albeit, this is no blog number nine, but number ten still holds our interest.

New Yorker Fist Bumps & Flag Burns


Barack and Michelle Obama share a fist bump in front of a burning American flag on the cover of The New Yorker.

Sen. Obama is portrayed as a Muslim caricature and his wife is dressed in combat attire holding a gun. A photo of Osama Bin Laden hangs behind the two, who stand in the Oval Office.

The New Yorker stood behind cartoonist Barry Blitt’s cover, which the magazine said is political satire in a statement. “Satire is part of what we do, and it is meant to bring things out into the open, to hold up a mirror to prejudice, the hateful and the absurd.”

The Obama campaign isn’t amused, and spokesman Bill Burton issued a statement. “Most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree,” Burton said.

Sen. John McCain expressed the same sentiment towards the magazine’s cover. “I think it’s totally inappropriate, and frankly I understand if Senator Obama and his supporters would find it offensive,” McCain said.

Another Batman Vs Abba Musical Turned Movie

Who will win number one at the weekend Box Office? Not since May when Sex and the City went up against Indiana Jones has there been this much excitement from Hollywood.


Mamma Mia stars Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan and it will likely fare well, but can it upset the second installment in Christopher Nolan’s new Batman series The Dark Knight?

The Dark Knight stars Christian Bale as Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal as the new Katie Holmes and Heath Ledger as the grisly Joker.



Ledger’s untimely death in January makes The Dark Knight his last leading role and early reports suggest his performance is Oscar worthy. Ledger’s performance will be unlike anything comedic Jack Nicholson did with the original role in Tim Burton’s Batman.

Both movies are in theaters Friday, July 18.

Jackson Puts Nut in Mouth



Jesse Jackson was not pleased with Sen. Barack Obama and FOX news cameras caught him sharing his desire for Sen-gen-mutilation. Jackson thought his microphone was off and whispered his deepest, darkest thoughts. “See, Barack, been um, talking down to black people,” Jackson said. “I wanna cut his nuts off.”

Severing balls ties with Jackson would be as beneficial to Obama as it was when he distanced himself from his former spiritual advisor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., earlier this year.

Jackson issued this statement shortly after he learned the video aired:

“For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize. My support for Senator Obama’s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.”

Fall Fashion Watch: Totes


Question: What happens when American patriotism goes beyond a yellow ribbon sticker on the back of a Jeep Liberty? Answer: Ignorant graphic tees and totes.

Maybe it’s Forth of July weekend or maybe it’s the years of overextended troops sprawled throughout the third world, whatever it is, it prompted this overly patriotic display of American ignorance.


Forget the black Jimmy Choo liquid patent and suede tote you were eyeing for the Fall, and set your sights on this functional piece.
