Some More SONY News

SONY's getting railed every which way. The main kill scene for The Interview has leaked.



The group that hacked SONY has now made terror threats. Saying that anyone that goes to watch the movie that weekend, or, is just in that general area, you should probably leave and not go — referencing September 11th.

And now, SONY is being sued by their own employees, current and past.



A class-action lawsuit alleging that it failed to protect their confidential information by ignoring warnings of their weak computer system.



In the 45-page complaint, it says that SONY failed to secure its computer systems, servers and databases, despite weaknesses that it has known about for years.



This, because not only were there all those emails, but it had employee criminal background checks, salary negotiations, performance evaluations, compensation reports, personal employee files, doctors letters explaining the medical reason for leaves of absences, and of course 47,000 social security numbers.



So not a super happy fun time if you're SONY.

Sydney Siege

Last Sunday, a gunman who has since been identified took 17 hostages. This happened at a Lindt Chocolate Factory in Sydney.



The hostages were held for 16 hours. During that time, many hostages were forced to stand in the shop windows and hold flags with messages reading “There is no God but Allah",



and "Mohammed is the prophet of God”.



Although, several news agencies reported that this was an ISIS flag and that ISIS was doing this.

During this time, at least 6 hostages escaped.



And on Monday (the next day), after 16 hours, police activated what they called an emergency action plan and stormed the café in the middle of the night.



There was a brief firefight which resulted in 3 deaths, which included the 50-year-old gunman, a 34-year-old man, and a 38-year-old woman.





2 women and 1 police officer were also hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries.



And after all this there are a few things I want to say:

1. To the man behind this, whose picture I will not show, I will say your name one time, Haron Monis, fuck you, I'm glad you're dead. He was a man who was charged with 50 counts of indecent exposure and sexual assault. And as an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife who was stabbed and lit on fire in Sydney last year.



He was also convicted of sending offensive letters to the family members of dead soldiers.

And I hate this man! I don't hate all Muslims or any group of people that just happen to also have something in sync with this man.

It made me sad that as soon as this situation happened, Muslim leaders had to brace for violence. It made me happy but also very sad that the hashtag #illridewithyou even had to be a thing.



A hashtag where Sydney commuters volunteered to ride by Muslim side to make sure they were safe. That makes about as much sense as hating all Christians, or people that believe in Christianity; because someone from that group bombed an abortion clinic.

These outliers are the worst. There are people that agree with them but know those few do not speak or act for the many. The many who want peace, not death. The many who promote the good of all people; who can look at the situation and feel for the hostages, those who went through this and were killed; who agree this is a travesty, it's terrible, it cannot stand. So many people are united by that anger, and this despair.

And it's on that note that I'm going to end this topic.

New Information About the SONY Hack



If you haven't seen the news anywhere, essentially, SONY was hacked by a group that's definitely not North Korea. Or actually, may not be North Korea.



And these hackers got a lot of information but the main thing I've seen in the news recently are just these big emails. Emails where these big movie execs were talking crap on directors who were talking crap on actors.

And there's still stuff constantly being posted. Even the group that did the hack said they were working on releasing a really big Christmas present.

So, all of this is happening but what are people saying?

Aaron Sorkin, who of course just ended his series: The Newsroom, wrote an op–ed in the New York Times where he said that he gets the hacker group — they did this for reason — but the media that is still posting this information, they're doing it for a nickel.



Essentially saying that these hackers, they have a cause, they have a purpose, while the media is just a whored out version of its former self.



SONY Pictures Entertainment told certain news organizations to stop publishing information containing documents stolen by hackers who have hacked the movie studio's computer network.



Also, according to The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter,



and Variety...



...they have each received a letter from David Boies an attorney for SONY, demanding that the outlets stop reporting information contained in the documents and immediately destroy them. Saying the studio "does not consent to your possession, review, copying, dissemination, publication, uploading, downloading, or making any use" of the information.





And then we had director (of SONY) Judd Apatow who tweeted:



Really, that tweet rubbed me the wrong way. Lol, I get what Judd Apatow is saying. I like Judd Apatow. What you're saying is essentially you have this widget, this thing that's the property of one or two people, and someone broke in, against the will of the owner of the widget, took the widget, and put it out there, against the will of the original owner of those things, and that person took that private thing and made it public, without, at the very least, the consent of the widget's owner. In that way, it is very much the same thing. But, I also ask the question, is it really???

I'm not saying that you're so off base like it's the difference between actual rape and when a 12-year-old boy screams that he's raping me when I'm playing FIFA 15. But I am saying that it is kind of along the same thing as someone scoring a bicycle-kick goal in the Premier League and me saying that's just like when I scored a bicycle-kick goal in middle school, during PE, playing sand soccer.

There is a difference between reporting a bunch of rich people talking crap on each other, and me actually having seen a picture of Judd Apatow's butthole. They're both private but there's a difference between looking like an asshole and seeing someone's asshole. But, you're still kind of right, and I give it to you that it's hard to get a full point in 140 characters or less.

And with all that typed, what are your thoughts on this? I'd love to know your thoughts.

Sex With Cars

Edward Smith, from Yelm, Washington, claims to have had sex with over 700 cars! And he was on TV because apparently that's what we put on TV these days, lol.

Now it should be noted that even though Edward has sex with cars, it doesn't mean he does not believe in love. He says that while some guys look at boobs and bums on beautiful women, he looks at the front and rear end on beautiful cars.

He's committed himself to a long-term lover, Vanilla — a sexy little secondhand Volkswagen beetle that he's had for 30 years.



They have an open-relationship, sometimes bringing in Cinnamon and Splash.

Cinnamon, a 1973 Opel GT.



Splash, a 1193 Ford Ranger.



Lol, just mentioning all this so you know that this is something that exists in the world right now.

Amazon and Sears Selling Silver Swastika Rings

We have Sears and Amazon apologizing to their customers because they recently found out they were selling silver swastika rings.



The description read:



Lol, you'll simply kill 'em with style. What a guess!

Both companies have since removed the products and have been apologizing to people individually.

And if you were wondering, no, it's not the first time they had to pull something for Nazi implications. The last time they had to pull a "home decoration" of a poster that featured a Nazi concentration camp, with a sign that translates to 'Work Makes You Free'.



Smh.

The World's Wealthiest 1%

According to the new Credit Suisse global wealth report that was just published, the top 1% in the world now have 48% of the wealth.



What's crazy is you have to think of how big the world is. In fact, just to be in the top 50% of the world, a person just needs $3,650 — including the value of equity in their home; i.e., anything they potentially own in their home.

Then $77,000 is required to be in the top 10%. And if a person has over $798,000,they are in the 1%. Which makes you think — once again — how big the world is, and how poor certain places are. In fact, the bottom 50% only control 1% of the wealth.

What's even crazier, is all science are pointing to, that in the next few years, the gap is just going to increase. Obviously.

Potassium Chloride Cunt



Daniela Poggiali is a 42 year old nurse who's been working in a northeastern Italian hospital and she has now been arrested because she may have killed 38 patients by injecting them with potassium chloride because they or their family members were "annoying".

Yes, for real!

And unfortunately, the prosecution is saying that it might be hard to prove that she killed all those people because potassium leaves no trace after a few days.



As far as Daniela as a person, her coworkers described her as a "cold, polished person" who sometimes sedated patients who "bothered" her during her shift. They also suspect she gave patients laxatives to embarrass the colleagues who worked after her.

And the cherry on top of this shit pie, the nurse taking a selfie of her giving a thumbs-up next to a patient who had just died.
