Mah na ma na

An execution takes an unexpected turn... but ends with a bang. I've seen this one bouncing around the web. From the short film Tune for Two. Mah na ma na.

The Bigger They Are The Harder They'll Fall

Too tired to rant and rave on the fiasco that is the NHL I begged a pleaded for assistance. And lo, a hero comes. Guest blogger and all round swell guy Joe Bunga to the rescue. My personal take is that since the NHL did not punish Zdeno Chara for his hit on Max Pacioretty, the Canadiens must exact revenge. Here is Bunga's take.

Cheap-Shot Chara by Joe Bunga

Chara

Look, in interviews after the game, Chara said he didn't mean to rub Pacioretty out like an eraser on the end of a lead pencil. However, the not-so-gentle giant made an excuse that Max "jumped" up and therefore insinuated that it was the victim's fault that he smashed noggin' first into the stanchion. Really Zdeno? REALLY?! Hey, tall goon ass, it's that type of "check" that gives hockey a bad name. Forget for the moment that it wasn't a clear "headshot", forget that you didn't try to hipcheck him or just skate with him (and on that note, the puck was nowhere in play, hence the interference penalty... so what the fuck were you doing lining him up for a massive hit along the boards anyway, you big putz?) no, instead you directed him oh-so-gently into a wall. Oh, and if you're going to sit there and tell me from your gigantic head that you didn't know where you were on the ice when you hit Max, then I bet you also believe that the Easter Bunny farts monkeys out of its butt and that Santa Claus is really Muslim.

Y'know, it's cement heads like you that are killing the game. How many parents do you think want to let their kids watch crap like that, let alone consider letting them play competitively knowing their offspring have a good chance of losing a vertebrae or two because some behemoth troll decides it makes sense to play like an idiot?

And to the league officials who decided that neither fine nor suspension were merited for this normal "hockey play", I have one finger for you. it's just a couple down from my pinky. Morons.

Zdeno Chara Strikes Again

If real violence makes you squeamish, do not click play. This is all Zdeno Chara's fault.

Gang Violence

Results of the Canadian Police Survey on Youth Crime suggests that youth gangs are a growing concern in many parts of Canada. Gun violence in major cities has additionally been a concern, especially in Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Montreal. In 2005, the number of gang-related homicides rose to 16% of all homicides. In the United States, after nearly five years of decline from 1999 to 2004, gang problems seem to be on the rise. We must do whatever we can to end these occurrences of violence, such as shown in the video below.



Even Star Wars can't stop gang violence.
