I’m so there, man. Now, where do you live again?

the reason YouTube was invented

To post things like this: eight solid minutes of Monkee singalong insanity. Who needs drunk karaoke nights when you’ve got YouTube?

Harry Potter, terrorist

Potter. Harry Potter.It seems that in the latest development in TWAT and The War Against Liquids, the forces that be have turned their beady little eyes to the tiny terrorist known as Harry Potter.

American airport staff almost stopped Harry Potter author JK Rowling boarding a flight because she would not part with the manuscript for the final book.

Rowling was not prepared to stow her top secret notes for book number seven in her check-in baggage when she flew back from a book festival in August.

Eventually she was allowed to take them on the flight, bound in elastic bands.

Seriously, doen't he look pretty sketchy to you?Indeed, if that manuscript fell into the hands of terrorists, what havoc could they create? Unimaginable, worldwide suffering would invariably follow the manuscript-napping.

But seriously, what was she going to do? Use it to threaten the pilot? “Turn this plane around NOW and land in Havana or Hermione gets written out!

Clayton Bigsby, black white supremacist

Warning: N-word!!! Dave Chappelle may, in fact, be insane, but he’s also hilarious.

Kimveer Gill’s blog

WELCOME, VAMPIREFREAKS
READ THIS FIRST
:

This is NOT a goth-bashing site. If you’re looking for goth-bashing, take it somewhere else; it ain’t here. I’m sorry to be so pre-emptive about this, but I’m tired of all the morons posting about how I am a Goth-hater; I’m not. I was a Goth before most of you were born, yes, back in the Seventies.

If you don’t want to read what’s here before commenting, you actually want to post somewhere else. If you want to read this and join in the conversation, welcome. If you find I’m abusing you, it’s because you ignored this warning and made an ass of yourself by posting your prejudices in the comments.

Kimveer Gill

Kimveer Gill‘s page  has been taken down from Vampirefreaks.com, but Google still has the cached version, of courseWell, we can find it anyway. But the gallery and the actual blog are still up, although both posts he made after waking up on the 13th are gone.

Looks like it’s time to go mirror-hunting. There, that didn’t take long for the main page; thank you, Miss Dynamite! Gallery here, thanks to Wikipedia. And the googlecache of his blog is here. For now. Note that the two entries from the morning of the 13th after he woke up are gone. One is detailed below, the other basically said nothing memorable other than “Think I’ll see what’s for breakfast. Eggs and toast, yum.”

If you don’t know who Kimveer Gill was, read this backgrounder from the Globe and Mail. That, at least, is still up. May I ask what purpose it serves to take everything else down? After all, his web pages are part of his estate, legally.

Fatality of Mind and Soul

People once believed, that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens, that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes the crow could bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.

Last entry:

Whiskey in the morning, mmmmmm, mmmmmmmmm, good !! :)

P.S. When i call people “niggah’s” in my journals……it doesn’t have anything to do with their skin color. I call white people niggahs too, it’s just fun.

It’s all dave chappelle’s fault, ever since i started watching the chappelle show, i can’t stop calling people niggahs :(

Mood:No mood :(
Music:Megadeth – A Tout le Monde

And here’s an entry from the day before that really should have been a red flag; the Mounties say they have a unit that patrols sites like this and if they’d seen his journal they wouldn’t have considered what he posted there to be a warning. What do you think it looks like?

FUCK YOU September 12, 2006, 05:00:am
Stop BullyingIt’s not only the bully’s fault you know!!
It’s the teachers and principals fault for turning a blind eye, just cuz it’s not their job. You fuckers are pathetic.
It’s the police’s fault for not doing anything when people conplain (oops, my mistake, the cops are corrupt sons of whores, so it’s not like they can do anything about it.)FUCK THE POLICEIt’s society’s fault for acting like it’s normal for people to be assholes to each other. Society disgusts me.
It’s everyone’s fault for being so apathetic towards fucking everything that doesn’t affect them personally. FUCK YOU SOCIETY.

Mood:FUCK YOU!!

Vampirefreaks has posted a message to inform the world that all goths are loveable, sweet people who wouldn’t hurt a fly. Which simply isn’t true. Even Vampirefreaks.com blames this on the mainstream media. While I’m all for people’s freedom of choice when it comes to tribes, c’mon people! Have a steaming hot mug of WTF! Goth can be a very depressed, very violent subculture as well as simply a fashion and music style and pretending it’s nothing like it actually is does no good to anyone.

UPDATED TO Add: In particular, claiming that you’re Goth because you’re such unique individuals and then saying you’re ALL the same (ie nonviolent) is utterly contradictory.

Kimveer Gill was a Goth.

And Kimveer Gill was a suicidally depressed, homicidal and insane man.

So please stop with the we are all unique individuals and we are all completely peaceful rant. Speak for yourself as an individual, and own that; you don’t own anyone else.

Oh, and Gothmetal.org is offline totally until the police are finished with it.

Like Kimveer Gill (Fatality666). Or, for that matter, his friends, including the evocatively-named StabbieRIPStabStab.Tombstone

Note that his likes include:

Night
Darkness
Cold Places
Individuality
My Knife
Blood
Ice Storms
The Crow
Frost

and that his results on the “How fucked up are you” quiz are:

WAIT THERE. We’re coming to get you now
we’ve called the guys in white coats to come and get you so dont commit a mass murder before they come or you’ll find you’ll be in there longer

Too late.

Is that THE gun? I think so
