quiz: which evil criminal are you?

Oh great. Fine. Jeez, I was hoping for Castro. Or FDR. What a letdown.

Sorry, Japan!

Congratulations, you’re President Harry S. Truman!

Due to the death of President Roosevelt, you became President of the United States of America on April 12th, 1945 – just at the tail end of World War Two. Japan had offered a surrender in January, and once you were in power, attempted again in May. In July, they offered surrender at least six times.

In August, against Roosevelt’s known wishes and the wishes of many of your advisors, you dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city Hiroshima, and another one on Nagasaki. Literally hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians died; many, many more suffered horrible sicknesses from the radiation. As Eisenhower put it: “the Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.”

If you wish, you can proudly tell the world that you unnecessarily levelled an entire population with the following fine graphic:

I am Truman.

Russian positivism

From Popbitch:

RIP Yeltsin. The best quote on his presidency came
from his prime minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin,

“We hoped for the best, but things turned out as usual.”

how to get into Courtney Love’s pants

Doesn't she look great? 

One-time offer! Now, for the low, low price of just $99, you, too, can enjoy the experience once limited to the greatest rock star in the world and, before that, to anyone who tipped the stripper in coke.

from Gawker:

Sure, $99 seems like a lot to pay for a pair of slacks that have contained Courtney Love, but all proceeds go to the Chrysalis Organization, an organization that helps homeless people and ex-cons find jobs. It turns out that Courtney Love is a big humanitarian! Well, not as big as she used to be.

quote o’ the day: how to choose a victim

Stolen from Sarcastro in the comments on Gawker:

…idiots are to be mocked because they can’t understand us,
children are to be mocked because they can’t hurt us and
the obese are to be mocked because they can’t catch us.
