Planet of the Apes – The Prequel

It’s official – we’re fucked.

Meet the Dovenator

One man, 16.000 shells and two Winchester SX3 shotguns – one being loaded while the other one is fired: 14 hours later – more than 15.000 doves down, at a rate of 18 birds a minute. Talk about a dove hunt…

Just so nobody gets their panties in a twist – here’s what Winchester said about the hunt:

All the doves shot by Scott, and by the many other hunters who go to Argentina, are utilized as best as possible. Some are eaten by the hunters, the rest are distributed to the local farmers and others who also eat them or utilize them for livestock feed (and then eat the livestock later). As explained by Scott in the second video, currently there is no danger of overhunting the Argentina doves. Although they present a problem for many farmers, they are watched and studied closely since they are also an importent resource for the outfitters and lodges specializing in dove hunting.

Apparently Argentina has quite the dove problem with an estimate of 30 million doves, consuming a significant amount of their crops.

Slavery in Pakistan


Thousands of women are imprisoned for adultery and even locked up for having been raped.
In a bare prison cell a veiled teenage girl huddles against the wall. Ruqaiya Khan is in prison because she wants independence from her family and in Pakistan Islamic law says that a woman’s Place is in the home. Stark faces peer from behind the bars of a Karachi insane asylum, housing 1200 women. Abuse and over-work cause women to die on average younger than men. We speak to lawyers who fight the cases of women trapped by Pakistan’s harsh Islamic laws. On any day up to 3,000 slave girls are for sale on Karachi’s streets. We speak to a 14 year old who was sold. A community leader says that even the government is involved in a protected and flourishing slave trade. Pakistani prostitutes dance for our camera. The brothels are legal. In Pakistan men have made a society designed only for their comfort.

I was hoping this is a really, really bad parody – but I’m afraid it’s not. m(

Lyrics (w/ Pokemon Opening Tune)

I wanna be like Jesus Christ
Like no one ever does.
To live by Him is my real test.
To please Him is my cause.
I will travel across the land.
Preaching far and wide.
To make the people understand.
And let Jesus live inside.

Chorus:
Jesus Christ! (Got to save them all!)
Its you and me…
I know Your my destiny
Jesus Christ!
Ooh! You’re my best friend
You’ll never leave me ’til the end
Jesus Christ! (Got to save them all!)
Our hearts so true
The Holy Spirit will pull me through
You teach me and I serve you
Jesus Christ!
(Got to save them all!)
Got to save them all!

Yeah..

Read the Bible, pray everday
(So) trials, I can face
I will battle everyday
And wait for the glorious days
You’re the way, truth and light
The only way to be redeemed
With Your help, I’ll win the fight
It’s always been my dream

Chorus

Jesus Christ, has been my guide
Ever since I was saved
And in His teachings, I will abide
I’ll be blessed for I obeyed
Now I will be set free
Free from pain and grief
With Jesus in my life
My suff’ring will be brief

Chorus

Holy shit.

Awful religious video day: Christian Ladies (Purity Ring On It)


One of the comments summed it up pretty nicely: Do you girls realize that no where in the Bible does it say sex before marriage is a sin? However, mocking God is a sin (Galatians 6:7). And are your outfits made of polyester? Cause that’s a sin (Leviticus 19:19). And they don’t seem very modest and the main girl had gold rings on, another sin (1 Timothy 2:9). So don’t make up rules and say they’re in the Bible while you ignore the rules that are there.
