The Terrible Movie That Sparked US Embassy Attacks [VIDEO]

A crap film is the cause of two attacks on American embassies in Libya and Eygpt.

Libyan Diplomat Suffered Atrocities At The Hands Of Militia

It is very, very dangerous being ambassadorial these days. Probably moreso if you were ever one of Muammar Gaddafi’s diplomats. Libya’s former ambassador to France, Omar Brebesh, died during detention by armed militia in Tripoli – and judging from the autopsy, it was not a merciful killing.

Racepoint PR – The Public Relations Company Preferred By Dictators Everywhere

Hey dictators. Got a national reputation problem on your hands? You could invest in some good public relations, couldn’t you? Specifically, give Racepoint PR a call – they’re the agency that did such a good job of brushing up Colonel Gadhafi’s image and, more recently, shifting attention away from Rwanda’s genocide problem.

China Bans Time-Travel Movies

Well this is probably just the cherry on the big ol’ authoritarian cake they got going on over there, but hot damn. All the best movies had time travel in them. Never mind the fact that now a generation of Chinese kids won’t spend every waking moment waiting for their future selves to arrive in a DeLorean.

This Is What A True Rebel Vehicle Looks Like After Battle

It’s tough fighting the powers that be, and it’s definitely not a job for all of us. But these legends in Libya deserve fat pats on the back and huge cubans (cigars – clean your mind).
