  • Unraveling YouTube’s monkey torture network Psychopath network of monkey torture videos garners millions of views for years on end and nothing is being done about it. Jim investigates.

    Warning: this investigation is SFW as long as you don’t click yourself into the rabbit hole, but it’s very media heavy. What compels someone to hate monkeys? To look at a picture of our little cousins and and wonder aloud with your friends how wonderful it would feel to crack their skulls open with a frying pan? YouTube is host to many diverse communities coming together to create, share, and comment on their particular thing. Furries shitting in their diapers or even men living in septic tanks – there’s always a video, always another user with your specific interest looking to connect. Out on the periphery, on the very edge…

  • The dark origins of our favorite Disney stories The fairytales Disney based their classics on certainly weren't PG-13.

    We grew up singing their songs, we cosplayed their outfits, and we took pictures with them in “Happiest Place on Earth.” But, what if there is more than just a “happily ever after?” Fairytales were usually written with a hidden truth or a moral lesson and over the years it’s been candied and reduced to a Walt Disney feature. Behind the veil of smiles, prince charming, and being a princess, there’s a darker truth that lingers in a fairy tale and we can say this much: no one is laughing at the end. Don’t believe me? Read on… Snow White Walt Disney’s empire was built on the back of his…

  • Hate campaign against “homophobic” porn star continues — even after her suicide August Ames was bullied to death for refusing sex with gay men, and Social Justice is a hate that doesn't know how to stop.

    The cavalcade of checkmarks and gay and transgender porn actors who hounded August Ames until she committed suicide this week are making excuses for the attacks that her family believes contributed to her death. Ames, whose real name is Mercedes Grabowski, became the subject of a harassment campaign following her refusal to have sex with gay actors. The late adult film actress denied accusations of homophobia, clarifying that she did not want to risk her health by having sex with “crossover” performers, who are not subject to the same health testing protocols as their straight counterparts. Her brother, James Grabowski, blames her tragic death on those who harassed her. “I…

  • Porn star hunted by hate mob for refusing sex with gay men has committed suicide The Twitter mob has been after August Ames (Mercedes Grabowski) since revealing that she practices safe sex, which excludes "crossover" actors from gay porn.

    The death of porn star August Ames, who was being targeted by a hate mob for not having sex with “crossover” actors (male porn stars who participate in both straight and gay porn), was confirmed by the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s office today. Her friends suspected that she committed suicide due to the bullying on Twitter. Sources told the Blast that Ames suffered from long-term depression and that the incident may have contributed to her decision to take her own life. Per the International Business Times, The Ventura County, Ca. Health Care Agency confirmed Ames, whose legal name was Mercedes Grabowski, died Wednesday evening of a suicide. “Mercedes Grabowski died of…

  • YouTube is full of toilet-themed Spiderman and Elsa videos Designed for children.

    The popular YouTube group H3H3 productions (btw here’s a YouTube video downloader) did a real Walter Cronkite-level expose the other day on the phenomena of creepy YouTube toy channels. The report exposes a motherlode of bizarre and sexually suggestive, toilet-themed videos of grown adults dressed up as superheroes and Disney characters. Toy videos on Youtube are massive popular among young children, and despite their sexually charged, scatological content, these videos seem to be marketed to — and targeted at — young kids. The videos, many with more than 1 million views and some with as many as 30 million, appear to originate from shady entrepreneurs in the former Soviet block and Asia. They use search key words…

  • How one man lied about a cartoon to prove history is meaningless on the internet Everyone just believed. People started fondly remembering, and reviewing, episodes that don't exist.

    Of all the great and terrible things about the internet, its ability to shape and rewrite reality might be the most dystopian. History is written by the victors, and every day it looks like the losers are humanity and meaning. In the Metal Gear Solid series, a collection of sinister artificial intelligences manipulate bulk information online to keep the world firmly under their control. A decade ago, I wrote some fan fiction that continues to distort the truth about a knock-off Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. Everything you think you know about Street Sharks is a lie. Well, that depends on what you think you know about Street Sharks. Before…

No longer is making love just two naked bodies rubbing together until fluids are spilled. The rules of the game are different.

  • How I survived a year of SHTF in 90s Bosnia No electricity, no food, no running water, no law. In a now legendary forum thread, a user named Selco tells preppers about his experiences and what he and his family did to stay alive.

    In September of 2011, a user named selco joined the forums at SurvivalistBoards.com and posted “my shtf expirience-wartime,” a thread that would since become legendary in survivalist communities and beyond – in fact, you frequently see people reference it to this day in communities like 4chan and reddit. In it, Selco details his experience of living in a besieged Bosnian town of 50 to 60k people during the Bosnian War (1992-1995). The siege took away everything modern humans take for granted and tested with extreme brutality Selco’s and his community’s ability to survive. But what is so interesting about this war story is that it was told to a group…
