You want to see something really messed up?

Edit: I changed the official name of FLDS to the correct name. Also added FLDS as a post label.

Check out Child Brides: Stolen Lives, courtesy of the fine folks at PBS Now*. Unless, you're some kind of pedophile or like to jack-off to kiddie porn; in that case, you're messed up and you need to seek therapy. Everyone else, please watch. It's totally worth your time. Stuff like this happens all the time, all over the world, and it just messes with these kids' lives, being traded like cattle. You might have heard about the kind of crazy stuff going on in the Warren Jeffs cult (officially known as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints [FLDS]), but how many of you knew that these kinds of practices are practically mainstream in certain parts of Guatemala and India? If, after seeing this program, you feel the need to do something, check out the links on this page. Also, check out this link.

And now for something completely different, but still messed up. It's kind of old news, but still worthy, I think, of some exposure. A guy in England gets jail time for urinating on a woman who was dying in front of him. The messed up part isn't the guy getting the jail time; it's the fact that he did the deed, covered her in shaving foam, and videotaped it for Youtube.

Until next time. Be well, all of you. If you offend easily, you might want to stay away from here around Valentines' Day (heh, heh).
