NO MORE!![wp_ad_camp_2]
This is the cover of THE SPIDER-WOMAN #1 COMIC BOOK.. Regardless of your gender, there’s probably one thing you are initially fixated on, and it’s not her face mask.. It’s that large rear end protruding high into the city sky.. And it’s for that butt shot that it’s also causing a rise of controversy.. In fairness, a not safe for work Spider MAN appeared this year, too, but that was removed after complaints. In this instance the comic may be bought up in some big numbers by the teenage boys that it may be aiming for. Just a thought.. Sometimes controversy equals sales.. In this matter, a rump roast of comics await..
This has been very controversial—especially since this company has assisted in operations in war torn nations in the Middle East. Some felt uncomfortable with their newfound role in Ferguson. Addrressing those concerns, someone authored a lengthy response on the company’s Facebook page, which in part says this:
We were not hired to work for the state, for the police, to work as peacekeepers, mercenaries, cops for hire, etc. We have done similar personal bodyguard and high risk logistics work with journalists who are interested in reporting from hostile areas all over the world.
We normally do not comment on this side of our work. At suggestion of our client who felt our position was unique, our public message was one of frustration that someone who would typically call upon us to escort them to Baghdad, Kabul, etc. would feel the need to ask us to take them into a suburb of St. Louis, our own wonderful city. It is tragic that things have degenerated to this point. The metro area is our home and we believe the coverage of St. Louis and this incident by major media is fueling the issue unnecessarily for their own benefit.
And this:
We strongly support The US Constitution and have sworn an oath to it. The First Amendment Rights to assemble and speak and print are not limited to only pretty, popular, or mainstream opinions. They are among the most sacred things that are to be protected by Government. A free society is not always a convenient or easy society.
It’s not likely they strange public statement will end worries about them..
There is something wrong with the world today.. while we say we don’t know what it is, we do .. Human.. And the eventual totalitarian government that rises.. or the genocide that somehow always takes place. Why can’t we just let our children sleep in peace at night? Why can’t we let people live and let live.. why does religion have to lead to so ma
ny ruined landscapes and torn apart families? Why, in the 21st century, are we still seeing barbarism and mass murder play out before our eyes..? Why are we worried over ‘purges’ in American cities? Why are people rising up against police? Why are we seeing the unraveling of the American spirit? Why does the President golf … so much..? So many things seem to be off kilter–like a timeline jumped from one to the other.. or maybe it’s the pole shift that we know is happening?
Perhaps the electric universe is having an electrical fire.. Either way, whether it’s beheadings, riots, Ebola, or death, this world is a very dark place as of late..
This generation should have been lost in space.
Instead we are confined to the hell that is planet Earth. A hell we create each day in every way..
So many people don’t add good, but instead simply shovel on more negative spirit.. 
The red planet is Mars. But we are the new one in the solar system–red with the blood of innocent people, dying unnecessary deaths in so many ways. Women and children buried alive–but those kept alive used as sex slaves or for labor..
Whether it’s brutality from law enforcement around the world or murder at the hands of religious groups on the basis of belief, this planet is soaked in horror. Real horror..
THE HORROR REPORT began in 1999 on an old Geocities website, eventually becoming what it is today in the early 2000s. Initially, the focus was Moustapha Akkad and Halloween, horror movies and Freddy. Innocent things of the 20th century that were taken away by a decade of terror, war, and torture.
I watched an interesting documentary called NIGHTMARES IN RED WHITE AND BLUE about how, culturally, horror movies have always been emblematic of the time they were made–the monsters after World War II were people and the LSD and torture after the Manson murders stoked fears.. Freddy Kreuger was Ronald Reagan and Jason Vorhees represented the Old Testament God, angry at sinners.. And then, as we moved into the 2000s, after 9/11 and Gitmo, films law SAW brought us a new style of torture porn with roots in sadistic horror of the 1970s after the Vietnam War..
I have often said that professional wrestling and horror movies are molded after the generation watching them.. Check out any period of time for either the fake sport or the fake movies, and you’ll be presented a startling accurate picture of the people who were watching them at that moment in history..
But in our new world, a world where we heralded in a president we thought was going to change the world with his Nobel Peace Prize, what movies will be made? In a world where journalists are beheaded in gruesome YouTube videos, and said videos go viral around the world, what will shock us? In an atmosphere where we are told in a repetitive fashion from officials on the television sets that ISIS is in the United States and all of the world, and they are poised begin their strikes, what will scare us?
The Red Scare gave us countless films that represented Communists.. the nuclear age offered up movies about Armageddon gone wrong and beastly creatures being created by radiation..
But what will a new world of horror movies be during a time of such grief, pain, and true horror?
When reality becomes more shocking than the blood on the screen, I predict a continuation towards the more esoteric films–movies about demons and spirits, entities and the Jinn..
What can be scarier than our new reality? Not much..
There’s something wrong in the world today..
Do you know what it is?

Richard Dawkins, the most loved atheist everyone loves to hate, now says this: It would be immoral not to abort a fetus with down syndrome.. But wouldn’t it be more immoral to force people to do so, Richie? But let’s face it, if there’s one thing Dawkins loves more than denying the existence of a higher power, it’s fame and attention. I am fine with atheists.. But I believe that Richard Dawkins find himself to be god
It’s all about perspective.. THIS is what our skies would look like if Saturn was the same distance as the moon away.. Things would sure be different..
