The internet is an amazing and dangerous place, especially if you’re too young to fully understand the repercussions of posting questionable content online. For two days Tumblr has been ablaze with re-postings of a screen cap from a video of a young girl throwing a puppy into a body of water. Along with the photo was this little blurb:

“This is actually one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen on the internet, and I’ve really seen it all. I’ve seen suicide videos (mildly disturbing, but usually cartoonish), etc… but this is just fucking awful.

[…]Obviously, if you know who this girl is, report her to law enforcement, even if you’re not a “dog person”.

Here’s why you should report her to law enforcement: She’s a serial killer in the making. There are various reports on the internet [...] that show the direct correlation between animal abuse in childhood, and serial killing sprees as adults. This girl is sick.

This girl, while she appears to still only be a child, needs to be locked up away from people.”

Not that I’m trying to nitpick, but the “she’s a serial killer in the making” comment is a bit of a stretch. (more…)

While I love what the Internet has done to extend my ability to communicate with my friends, I’m realizing it’s hard not to hate it for exactly the same reason. I don’t know when the ability to judge what is (and more importantly, isn’t) appropriate to be posting in public forums became so difficult, but apparently it is and I’m really over it. Anyone who’s experienced this themselves, meaning probably anyone who’s reading this, probably agrees with me. (more…)

Between interviews, the “Win A Trip to Hell!” giveaway on TattooSnob.com & upcoming travels the only thing I want to look at on the internet is cute animal videos.

See?

It’s Thursday/April Fools/the last day you have to suffer through before consoling yourself with “well, at least it’s Friday.” You need a pick-me-up, so assuming you like R&B or at least have a good sense of humor you’ll appreciate this Reinvented Sex track from Richard Benjamin.

Download it here, and get freaky with your girlfriend when you get home. Or on your lunch break, whatever works.

There’s two things I love in life: John Mayer and senseless Japanese cat videos on YouTube. They are consistently dubbed over with the weirdest music choices, too. If my cat did more than sleep, eat, and stare at me with a mild level of contempt I would force her into this YouTube-based brand of humiliation.

I was recently turned on to And I Am Not Lying by a few friends – but today someone sent me to read this post which definitely takes the cake.

For some context: this list of 90 types of bitches was found on the floor of a third grade classroom in DC. While some folks are expressing concern about the state of America, I think any of us that were even a little bit “bad” as kids can appreciate this for what it is: absolutely hilarious.
