The hunt is ON!

...for witches that is.

1,000 supposed witches have been rounded up in Gambia by Witch Doctors and are being forced to drink a hallucinogenic substance in order to have them confess to witchcraft. The liquid has prompted kidney failure in some of the witches which has resulted in death...as has the severe beatings. You can bet your sweet buttons Amnesty International isn't too pleased.

Amnesty International was quoted to have said:
"Damnit! Now who're we gonna get to cure AIDS?!"


This witch-hunt started when the president of Gambia, Yahya Jammeh, suspected witches were behind the death of his aunt earlier this year and enlisted the help of Witch Doctors to help combat the evil-doings of these evil...doers?


"It's alright...I'm a doctor."

President Yahya Jammeh seized power in a 1994 coup. His government has been accused of several murders over the last few years, though all of which have been thoroughly denied.

Oh, and did I mention he can cure AIDS?

He is also reported to have resurrected Biggie Smalls

Yeah - apparently cures the AIDS in his Presidential Palace with the use of herbs and incantations... I guess that's why the man has such high approval ratings?

I dunno though...sounds alot like witchcraft to me...

NOTE TO SELF: Don't visit Western African any time soon...

READ ON...

The Yuletide season is upon us. For the better prepared portion of our community, you've finished your x-mas shopping. For the bulk of my readers, you probably haven't even begun. For most people, x-mas shopping involves wracking your brain for -the- gift that will compliment your loved ones. For others, a last minute dash to the dollar store will suffice. Then there are the people that shop for their pets. These are not only the people that buy for their pets, but also give from their pets as well. From: Mittenz Major corporations make millions off of these chumps pet owners by milking them for everything their worth. From holiday themed pet toys, to pictures for your best friends with Santa Claws (heh heh) Today I received an e-flyer from PetSmart about some handy-dandy last minute gift ideas for my pets. I am the disgruntled owner of two disgusting cats. Regardless of the fact that they are ungrateful bastards, I wouldn't buy them presents strictly on the principle t

Okay, right off the bat - Approx. 17% of Canada's population is children/youth under the age of 15. A survey conducted in 2003 by the Canadian Teachers’ Federation says watching TV is a daily pastime for 75 percent of Canadian children, both boys and girls from Grade 3 to Grade 10.( ... ) Thus, the average child in Canada spends on average 42 hours a week in front of the television or computer.( ... ) That is a huge demographic. A huge demographic of children being subjected to not only the tripe that's on the tube, but gallons and gallons of information that's being processed through their developing brains on a daily basis. Television stations make millions off colourful, musical shows that get kids hooked. And if they promise a jump on a learning curve, parents will eat that shit up with a spoon. Anything to make their kids smarter and give them that 'edge' and parents forget that they're propagating the problem of hours in front of the boob tube. That said,
