Street justice for Google Street Views

A London motorist in this video (below) tailgates some poor sap driving a Google Street Views car, which has a 360-degree camera setup mounted on its roof.

In case you missed the original story, a group of Brits reportedly ran a Google Street Views car out of their neighborhood.

The Taliban tortures, and some YouTubers have a laugh

Warning: Disturbing footage. (Unlike the BBC’s video, this includes the girl’s cries for mercy.)

I am disgusted that my tax dollars are propping-up the tinpot dictators who permit miserable bastards, like these, to torture girls.

I’m also sickened by the YouTube commentators who either endorse this torture (one stupidly argues that flogging will solve America’s drug “problem”), or say the girl appears to be sexually aroused.

David Mayer de Rothschild's goofy plan to sail–and save–the Pacific

Only a Rothschild could have time for a project like this: an ocean voyage, from San Francisco to Sydney, aboard a ship made of used plastic bottles.

David Mayer de Rothschild, a scion of the powerful banking family, has dabbled in naturopathy and organic farming since he was in college.

Now de Rothschild plans to sail the “Plastiki,” which looks like something the Professor dreamed-up to escape Gilligan’s Island, across the Pacific.

Through press coverage of the stunt, he hopes to encourage people to consume less, and recycle more.

De Rothschild is most often portrayed in the media as an adventurer: someone who has forgone a life of comfort for one filled with risk and danger. His mission: to rescue the planet from its human inhabitants.

De Rothschild said he got the Plastiki idea after watching a TV show showing trash floating about in the world’s oceans. (See the Plastiki video, from the New Yorker magazine, below).

Stevie watch

Would-be Obama assassin denied bail:

JACKSON, Mississippi – A federal judge denied bond for Steven Joseph Christopher on Thursday in connection with charges of threatening to assassinate President Barack Obama.

Christopher, 42, of Wisconsin, was arrested Friday by the Secret Service in Brookhaven and was charged with threatening to assassinate Obama for what he claimed was “the country’s own good,” according to federal prosecutors.

A news release said Christopher made the threats Jan. 11 and 15 on the Web site www.alien-earth.org. The video has also appeared on YouTube.

Here’s a typical racist and anti-Semitic rant from the guy:

"God incarnate" needs a gun, and a ride

Rabid anti-Semite “Stevie” Joseph Christopher, who haunts UFO conspiracy websites, and produces some very unsettling trailer park videos (like this one, below), is now in the care of the Secret Service.

Stevie, in this recent vid, says he has “clearance” to make death threats against the president. Stevie also says the FBI interviewed him about his online rants several months ago, and that they knew what he was up to (i.e., “that I was bluffing,” Stevie says, about three minutes in).

Stevie, who calls himself “God incarnate” (I knew the Lord drove a pickup), hit the chat rooms recently… in search of a gun and a ride to Washington, D.C., where he planned to assassinate President Obama.

Steven Joseph Christopher, 42, was taken into custody by the Secret Service in Brookhaven, Miss., and charged with threatening to assassinate Obama for what he claimed was “the country’s own good,” federal prosecutors said. The criminal complaint was sealed until Christopher’s appearance in federal court.

Dance vids include secret "signs"

Jane McGonigal, a social networking marketeer who talks a lot about alternate realities, addictive games, positive psychology and (gods help us) “experience grenades” has come up with a very strange new game. In this video, the tech media darling dons an “Eyes Wide Shut”-type mask, and dances for the webcam, flashing messages to other participants in the game.

Busted: YouTube strikes again

There’s nothing worse than a dirty cop.

Here, a Salem policeman get nabbed on video, attacking a kid (who may have had a big mouth) on the sidewalk. A fellow officer tries to push him off as he presses his knee into the kid’s throat.
