So, I take a break from all things news related because I'm thinking "Ehh, it's the holidays. Nothing big is going to happen." Then I hear about a tiger getting loose in a zoo in San Francisco and said tiger decided to maul a bunch of people. As a result, the tiger has been put down and the whole incident is under investigation. Meanwhile, it has rumoured that one of the victims of the mauling was taunting the tiger before the whole ordeal went down. Now while some may say "THIS IS WHY ZOOS NEED TO BE ABOLISHED! ANIMALS NEED TO BE LIKE FREE AND STUFF! zOMGZ!" and that could be a valid point, what may be forgotten is buddy decided to tease a predatory animal whose instincts (While dormant due to captivity.) are to attack anything they see as a threat to their environment. So, while the zoo may be responsible for not making sure proper safeguards were in place to make sure nothing like this would happen, dumbass got what he deserved and I fully endorse more zoo animals attacking stupid people.
And in "Business just picked up moreso in the Middle East" news: Benazir Bhutto, the leader of the official opposition party in Pakistan, was assassinated during a rally earlier today. And in a total "what the eff?!" move, the assassin then blew himself up. Now I'm a simple man with no real formal education and haven't followed global events closely in a while, but seriously - WHAT THE HELL?! Aren't they supposed to be our (begrudgingly) allies on the global war on terror? It's times like this I feel like our little democracy here has its faults, we're not that fanatical to the point of killing one another because of differing ideologies.
So maybe now I have some last minute additions to the First-time ever (and hopefully annual) Laspie Awards... coming before the end of this year. Stay tuned.
