BALTIMORE \u2013 In January of this year, the\u00a0Empire Herald<\/em>\u00a0reported that a \u201cmeth-addled couple\u201d had eaten a homeless man in New York City\u2019s Central Park. Later,\u00a0Now8News<\/em>\u00a0reported that a can of cookie dough had \u201cexploded in a woman\u2019s vagina\u201d; the woman was alleged to be shoplifting.<\/p>\n

The fellows depicted above certainly mesh perfectly with the image of meth-addled cannibals conjured by our imagination\u2026 A few interesting questions regarding this event remain unanswered to this day. Did they marinate their meal? Fill it with stuffing? What were their wine and salad choices? Was their dinner roasted on a spit, cooked in a jungle wok the traditional way, or were these pale gourmets connoisseurs of\u00a0wino tartare<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Tueasday\u2019s big news: Russia\u2019s ambassador to Turkey was shot and killed. The assailant looked a lot like a 21st-century version of Gavrilo Princip, who lit the fuse for World War I by assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Bosnia. By the time it was over, 16 million people were dead\u2026<\/p>\n

\"AnThe assassin and his victim, Andrei Karlov, Russia\u2019s ambassador to Turkey. While making the Travolta-like dance move caught in the photograph above, the assassin shouted \u201cAllahu-akbar! Don\u2019t forget Syria! Don\u2019t forget Aleppo!<\/em>\u201d. Not a \u201cmoderate\u201d rebel we would guess, but rather a sympathizer of assorted head-choppers. The assassination was photographed by several people and most of the pictures look like stills from a Hollywood movie. This gives the incident quite a surreal quality. It is as if it was staged specifically for the the evening news. No unfocused shaky-cam stuff forcing you to squint if you want to see something \u2013 these days, we get our daily snuff in high definition! Obviously, modern audiences demand and deserve certain quality standards.<\/p>\n
