So help us God!

Stupid drunk rednecks!

I just saw the video on YouTube. Remember Sarah Silverman “I’m fucking Matt Damon” video? Well, someone thought will be a good joke to do the exact thing for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
It’s pretty funny. I guess …

Thank you so much. Thank you for all the love. I’m here tonight to celebrate a very important birthday, the 25th anniversary of the VMAs. This is the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards and it starts right now. – Britney Spears, opening the show.

Sunday night’s show was mostly a joke. A political-musical joke.Yes, Britney Spears looked amazing, yes, there were many performing spots, but the show itself was really a big joke.

Russell Brand used his speech to convince people that Barack Obama is the right next American President, suggesting that “the retarded cowboy” (George W. Bush) was just a big mistake.

He also referred to the McCain-Palin pregnancy scandal, saying that republicans are the safest way to avoid a pregnancy. “Wear a condom or become a republican”, said Russell.

I still don’t see the connection between music and politics, but hey, it’s probably because there is no connection. But in America, everything is possible!

Russell also “joked” about the purity rings worn by the Jonas Brothers, and Jordin Sparks defended the boys saying “no everybody wants to be a slut”. I have to agree with her. America has enough problems with teenage mothers. That doesn’t mean every teenage should do what Jamie Lynn Spears did.

Anyway, I liked Rhianna‘s performance, Disturbia. Too bad she sang too little, but she compensated that with her dancing skills.

The Jonas Brothers were the best, I loved their performance.

Britney Spears had won 3 awards: Best Female Video, Video of the Year, Best Pop Video all for Piece of Me. I personally don’t think she deserved them but hey, they needed a star and all they got was Britney Spears. It’s ok I guess, at least she’s not a train wreck anymore, the way she used to be just a year ago.

Pink performed “So what” outside the parking lot, her performance was incredible. Fire, stunts, explosions and rock – she had it all.

Mommy, Christina Aguilera performed a techno mix of her biggest his, Genie in a Bottle. This way she promoted her upcoming greatest hits album.

Among winners, we have:

Chris Brown – With You – Best Male Video

Lil Wayne – Lollipop – Best Hip Hop Video

Linkin Park – Shadow of the Day – Best Rock Video

No comments on this one! It’s too good to be true :p

This is the story of James Karl Buck, a student from the University of California-Berkley who got arrested during a trip to Mahalla, Egypt. On April 10 James and his translator, Mohammed Salah Ahmed Maree were covering an anti-government protest when Egyptian police came and arrested them. The two were photographing outside a police station where the family of those who were detained asked some explanations about their relatives.

Fortunately James was able to send a one word message to another blogger friend through Twitter. The word was “Arrested“. The message alerted all his friends and bloggers in USA and Egypt.

One of the bloggers who got the message, Hossam el-Hamalawy, was writing updates on his blog to let everyone know how was James and Mohammed doing. Every couple of hours James was sending messages saying that he was still arrested but had not been charged.

On April 6 a protest against rising food prices and decreasing wages in Mahalla had been shut down by Egyptian and due to this fact the family of those who had been detained and other protesters got out on the streets and threw Molotov cocktails. They continued the protest until April 10. Then James and his translator went to Mahalla to see for themselves as James was working on a multimedia project on Egypt’s “new leftists and the blogosphere”, a part of his master’s degree thesis. He’s studying Journalism

Finally, James was set free but his translator and friend Mohammed was still detained. Officials said he was released on April 13 but nobody heard about Mohammed.

1948 – Al Gore (60) -  Vice President of the United States and Nobel winner for the An Inconvenient Truth documentary

1983 – Paddy McCarthy (25) – Irish footballer

What happened back then:

1889 :  the Eiffel Tower was inaugurated. Long live la France!

2007 : About 2,2 millions of Australians took part to the Earth Hour project. Hooray! Less pollution, right?

So George W. Bush isn’t the smallest president after all. At least he’s taller than the French president, Nicholas Sarkozy.  Unfortunately I can’t say the same thing about their IQ!

P.S: I don’t know if this picture is for real or is photoshoped! What do you think?

I feel the need to comment upon this subject! Maybe the Quran is talking about killing and destroying the enemy (I don’t know, I’ve never had any interest in reading it) but I don’t think that we should blame only the Arab terrorists for the 9/11 events.
Anyway, I’m not a religious person and I find it stupid to kill someone in the name of religion! If you look back in history you’ll see how many atrocities people committed in the name of God. It’s stupid!
Yes, people feel the need to believe in a higher presence, in something spiritual and powerful but I think religion is about manipulating people and brain washing!
