Don't be sorry if you get what you ask for

BEIJING (Reuters) – A Chinese man was pushed off a bridge by an angry passer-by after his threat to commit suicide held up traffic for five hours, Chinese media reported on Saturday.

Retired soldier Lian Jiansheng, 66, broke through a police cordon and reached out to shake the hand of would-be jumper Chen Fuchao before shoving him off the bridge.

"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interests," Lai was quoted as saying by the China Daily newspaper.

"They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities' attention to their appeals."

Viral marketing for S. Darko

The sequel to the cult hit Donnie Darko had some viral marketing to promote it. Some pretty cool stuff.
PS- I saw the movie. Sometimes it felt like a remake and not really a sequel. But it did do a better job at explaining what "the end of the world" means, and did see the return of Frank the Bunny... kind of. Definitely worth a rental if you have nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon.

Dog gone! Puppy picked up and carried a mile by wind!

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A six-pound Chihuahua has been reunited with her owners after a 70-mph gust of wind picked the puppy up and tossed her out of sight.

The Utleys, of Rochester, had set up an outdoor display Saturday at a flea market in Waterford Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit.

Tinker Bell was standing on their platform trailer when she was swept away.

Omegle - Talk to Strangers
















"Everyone's talking about Omegle, a new chat website which promises to hook you up with a random person on the Internet. It's the perfect antidote to Facebook's real-people prissiness: Social networking with perfect strangers. It's the Internet-chat version of truckstop-bathroom sex — hotter because you don't know who you're hooking up with."

"Omegle is a brand-new service for meeting new friends. When you use Omegle, we pick another user at random and let you have a one-on-one chat with each other. Chats are completely anonymous, although there is nothing to stop you from revealing personal details if you would like."

Is this kid for real? Or is this another famous "social experiment"?

I've been following this kid for awhile. At first I laughed at him and was going to troll his channel. Then I watched a few more vids and I felt bad for him (because he's been attacked by trolls to no end) and have thought that this may be a suicide waiting to happen. But now that I'm rewatching his videos... I think this may be all a setup. He's a twelve year old who's channel is less than 2 months old with over 2k views on his vids. What do you all think???



I used to be gay...??? He's twelve!!!





Adorable kitteh is adorable
