Facebook now: Breast feeding bad. Calling for the killing of people.. maybe alright?

Navigating the social networking rules can be tough. And rough.. your blog can be suspended for things you don’t find offensive. Your Facebook page can be taken down if you choose to post a photo that may have ‘nudity’ ..

That’s why, in a world where breast feeding causes controversy with Facebook because they classify it as obscene, it’s deplorable to think that the same social networking service can allow open calls for death of an entire population of people.. But they are doing just that.

While the NSA monitoring tool named Facebook is busy suspending accounts that show partial nipples dripping with milk, they are also said that the open calls for the death of Jews don’t violate the community standards of the site.. Of course things changed once national news media attention was placed on the page. Facebook did remove it. The WASHINGTON EXAMINER posted this photo of a message from Facebook:

While freedom of speech is a fundemanetal right for Americans, the right exists in the sense that governments cannot take you away to a death camp for speaking. But social networking services–private companies after all–have every right to suspend you. After all, the page is free. The only thing you surrender for its use is 100% of your privacy. Nonetheless, the sad fact is that Facebook is quick to suspend accounts that feature something showing a natural motherly love–breast feeding–but waited until an outcry occurred before scratching out a page that was promoting a new Holocaust.

Mark! what’s the matter with you?

Tornado hits near Boston airport

This is a freak event.. a Tornado occurred on the Northeast side of Boston on Monday–it’s not a place where tornadoes actively occur..

The Weather Channel details the radar images of the tornado as it happened..

It is the first tornado touchdown in the area, records say, since 1950. But interestingly, this is the third time this year Boston received a tornado warning..

The tornado was an EF2 on the scale.. Maximum winds were near 120 mph..

The town of Revere, where the tornado struck, has about 53,000 people.. it’s awfully close to the Boston International Airport–about 16 minutes apart as a matter of fact.

The year (maybe decade) of ‘rare’ weather events are occurring so much.. rarity may not even be an issue anymore..

Thankfully a manic Monday is over. It was plain weird.

ALL THE CRAZY FOR A MANIC MONDAY..

There are so many weird events on the horizon, and now in the past.. a case of the Mondays, indeed.. this news wrap from today is enough to give you the chills from head to toe.

Without even further coding delays, the news presented in HTML format and uploaded throughout the land from a FTP program near you:


The HORROR REPORT and many other sources have been reporting on some dire circumstances regarding the EBOLA outbreak in Africa.. now this: Experts are worried that the virus is ‘just a plane ride away’.. That’s a pretty sobering thought..
The fear of the virus spreading is spreading faster than the virus..
BUT!
THE CDC, busy with its clumsy treatment of viruses, tells us that Ebola poses little risk to the United States..


Whenever the world catches fire, North Korea demands attention.. no different now: This time Lil Kim is threating to nuke the White House! The leader of the nation must still be upset with this video..

Here’s a list of things that Americans have stopped buying.


Could this be the birth of the anti-Christ!? The always reliable *(sarcasm of course)* UK SUN is reporting this: A four-year-old boy has the symbol of Satan on his chest.. The mark of the devil.. The news was reported in the British tabloid and now the news has gone worldwide thanks to a link on the DRUDGE REPORT.. Did he sleep on a toy? Doctors “baffled” we’re told.. has the Anti-Chris been born is a paper trying to sell fishwrappers? You be the judge..


Speaking of demons among us: Father Mariam Rajchel said he performed an exorcism on a teenager .. afterwards he began getting hate texts from demons. Hopefully not a demon texting and driving..

The news of the weird doesn’t stop there.. This from York, Pennsylvania: A woman claimed her house was haunted. When journalists arrived to cover the story, their interview with her almost had them fleeing away.. The reporters, we are told, were skeptics .. They doubted the story of the woman from YORK.. And then they saw a strange shadow that chilled them to their bones.. This is another you be the judge story.. but the FOX 43 reporter saw the 7-foot-tall shadow and felt his hand burning … And you can be the judge all you want: But you weren’t there, neither was I.. and the thought of a skeptic suddenly believing in a shadow man does a bit more than nothing to convince me. The veil is lifting. If there is a veil at all..


Another story of oddity: An abandoned hospital in South Africa is said to be haunted.. The facility shut down in 1997. Millions worth of equipment was locked inside.. Since then ghost hunters have flocked to the location..

Intrigue at a baffling mystery (now two!): Those weird holes in Siberia..


Strange freak thunderstorm forms out of no where in California.. kills a young man..


Freak storm brings river of hail..

The kids aren’t alright in Japan: 15-year-old girl arrested for murdering–and dismembering–a classmate..

Get ready for a new fad .. a teen was severely burned after a “Facebook challenge”. The goal, you ask? Rubbing alcohol on your chest and lightning yourself on fire.. If Art Bell was still on, a Darwin Award would have been given..

Suddenly two blasts from fame past makes headlines: Freddie Prinze Jr. slams Kiefer Sutherland .. And no one seems to care.

Please.. please.. please.. no more… spoke to soon: Word is, another TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is on the way..


Best dressed at Comic Con..


Scandal at COMIC CON.. Women claim sexual harassment at event.. they say that they were groped by geeks and followed around and photographed..

PAGING RICHARD HOAGLAND!!

Imagine.. a world where reputable and mainstream publications are presenting information about potential alien artifacts on the moon!

Did Richard C. Hoagland’s past books get read over the weekend? Or maybe this: It possible that if traversed our galaxy, there’s a chance they left behind evidence of their travels on the moon.

This is coming not from the ramblings of some late night Coast to Coast AM guest, but real scientists.

FORBES was among the many sources today to report a long time SETI scientist’s thoughts on the moon.. Paul Davies wants crowdsourcing to find some strange anomalies on the moon..

While some laugh and scoff, it’s worth noting the obvious: We don’t know much of anything about what happens in this universe, nor what this universe even is.

The chances of artifacts being left on the moon? You can decide.. but shouldn’t we first check the moon before we discount the idea altogether?

A mark of the beast. And a priest. And a shadow man in York, PA

Maybe not cool

As if 5 wrongs turns weren’t enough

Get ready for the sixth installment in the not so much anticipated WRONG TURN collection..

This go around, the newest WRONG TURN will occur on DVD and BluRay. On Halloween.. without a box office release, logic would state that this should be the end of a series.

Something even more exciting for those happy by the propects of a DTV release of a film, the movie will feature unknown actors who want to make a name for themselves. This will undoubtedly lead to a future fun movie night as the HORROR REPORT had this past weekend..

Regardless of future plans, some may welcome with open arms the newest WRONG TURN.

Some..

The Sunday morning sidewalk

A stroll down the sidewalk.. no sound of church bells. They are all closed. No frying chicken. Families don’t eat Sunday dinner anymore. But there’s news. and lots of it, for better or worse, presented for your HORROR REPORT approval from sea to boiling sea:

Weather alert: Heads up.. strong, severe storms, hail, and tornadoes set for large part of United States today..


Hamas announces a 24-hour truce with Israel.. the earlier ceasefire ended with Israel bombarding parts of Gaza..


There is irony here.. there is some bad news here.. Ebola has KILLED the senior doctor treating Ebola patients in Liberia.. He was the most high-profile doctor in the situation.. And now an American doctor is infected with the deadly disease..

Pope renews attack on Mafia..


I mentioned in my news bits yesterday that 3D printed body parts and organs were going to change medicine for the best.. Get this: Here is the story of the 6-year-old who received a prosthetic arm.. And now he can climb trees..

Fossil suggests that most dinosaurs sported feathers..

New study: Earth is on the verge of the 6th mass extinction..

New research finds that dogs do feel jealous .. I could have told you that.. each day when Ayden gets home from day care, it turns into a match to see who will get more attention, him or Mutley the Dog.

Thumbs away!! Megan Fox wants to personally hunt down and destroy Bigfoot..

Megan Fox says girl power was cut from NINJA TURTLES.. Could this be another post-movie release fight already setting up with Michael Bay??


WONDER WOMAN revealed at Comic Con.. Josh Brolin announced as Marvel Villian THANOS..

ANT MAN characters revealed..

LOW BUDGET HORROR WEEKEND

I look back now to my late teenager years, back when I joined with my friends for all night sessions of sitting in a dark room to watch horror flicks, some good and most bad, laughing until the sun came up. If only then we had NETFLIX.. The amazing world we live in now is filled with the aroma of good films and funk. We can choose what we want.. on demand. Right now..

This weekend was just that type of weekend.. a low budget horror extravaganza. When my son Ayden went to sleep, of course..

In the past, I found some gems on Netflix worth watching again. Movies such as STITCHES, HAUNT, HAUNTER, and some others..

It was a ‘low budget horror weekend’ in my house..


I watched the movie PONTYPOOL last night for the first time in my life.. It was somewhat bizarre.. somewhat dull.. somewhat comical.. It’s a psychological horror about a disease infecting the town of Pontypool. The disease is the English language.. Most of the movie is from the basement of a church where a radio host Grant Mazzy narrates the end of his world.. Without giving away too much–as you may want to see it–the movie rated about a 3 out of 5 stars for me. It was slow, somewhat unnerving.. but for the most part it was finely made with the low budget that existed for it.. But there are some critical problems with it–as pointed out by the others who watched the movie with me and hated it. Maybe that’s why it ended up only making $1,500 during its opening night in Canada..


Maybe the movie HOUSE OF THE DEVIL is more your cup of tea.. it is also slow and unnerving, but the build up suspense scenes are much more intense and well done. The film is based on the theory that Satanic ritual abuse was real in the 1980s. In this movie, a college student takes a job to ‘babysit’ .. she finds out there’s no baby and there won’t be much sitting either. What I found most well done about this movie was that, despite being made in 2009, the movie had an 80s feel. It felt like we were watching something from that decade.. the filmmakers, despite a low budget, still were able to find vintage Coke cups and used lighting effectively to make your mind think you were watching something filmed 30 years ago.. Perhaps the most frightening character for several reasons in HOUSE OF THE DEAD was the very tall Tom Noonan.
