holy shit!

Gunman shoots at police, jumps park fence, robs dad and kids, sheds ankle bracelet, escapes police dogs, carjacks pregnant lady and surrenders to police ... wait for it ... completely naked!!!!!


HOUSTON—A gunman who prompted an evacuation at the Mercer Arboretum Saturday was arrested naked after leading cops on a wild chase.
The whole thing started when Precinct 4 deputies responded to a call about a domestic disturbance near the park.
When they arrived, they saw Raphael Jones, 19, in the street with a gun.
Jones was a parolee, and he had removed his ankle bracelet.
He ran from police, hopping fences and tearing through backyards in an attempt to lose them.
At one point, he shot at the deputies, but no one was hit.
When Jones climbed over the fence into the Arboretum, deputies evacuated the area and surrounded the park.
Once in the park, Jones robbed a dad and his kids of their cell phone and car keys and later carjacked a pregnant woman.
Deputies pursued Jones in the stolen car until he finally stopped and exited the vehicle with no clothes on.
It was unclear why he had removed them.
Jones is reportedly wanted in Louisiana for aggravated assault and kidnapping.

false delusions.

I have reported one such case that occurred in Oxford... The patient, a 43-year-old man, was brought into the Accident and Emergency Department following an overdose. He had tried to kill himself because he was afraid he was going to be "locked up". However, this fear was secondary to a paranoid system at the heart of which was the hypochondriacal delusion that he was "mentally ill".

He was seen by the duty psychiatrist and by the consultant psychiatrist on call, neither of whom were in any doubt that he was deluded. Indeed, both were ready on the strength of their diagnosis to admit him as an involuntary patient.

Yet had their diagnosis depended on the falsity of the patient's belief, as in the standard definition, they would have been presented with a paradox: if the patient's belief that he was mentally ill was false, then (by the standard definition) he could have been deluded, but this would have made his belief true after all.

Equally, if his belief was true, then he was not deluded (by the standard definition), but this would have made his belief false after all. By the standard definition of delusion, then, his belief, is false, was true and, if true, was false.

-Bill Fulford in the book Philosophical Psychopathology.

nazi sex scandal


Max Mosley, president of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile, F1’s governing body, is facing intense pressure to resign from his post after being implicated in a Nazi role-playing orgy according to British tabloid News of the World.

The report detailed a five-hour “Nazi-style” orgy between Mosley and five prostitutes at a house in Chelsea. In a video on the newspaper’s Web site, it shows a man identified as Mosley arriving at an apartment. The man is then greeted by a woman playing the role of a Nazi prison guard, checking his hair to see if he has been kept free of lice “at the other facility.”
"Hurry up! Lie face down! Don't look at me!" Mosley meekly obeyed and was chained and manacled before another blonde dominatrix, wearing only a jacket, shirt and knee-length boots, entered the room.
Later, another woman in mock death camp garb enters the video and the man said to be Mosley is heard speaking German.

At one point during the video, the man yells “she needs more of ze punishment!” while brandishing a leather strap over a woman’s bottom before striking her with it and counting in German, as other women in Nazi-style uniforms look on.

He ends up having sex with several of them and of course, this being Britain, he shares a cup of tea with the women after sex.

While the Nazi concept is not unusual in sadomasochistic circles, playing both sides in such a kinky ritual is unusual, say sex experts.
"In most cases, they play one role or the other," said Judy Kuriansky, a professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University Teacher's College and member of the American Association of Sex Educators. "It's not as usual to play both roles. These are complicated psychodynamics."

Such practices have less to do with sex and more with power, she explains.

"Beating women and being beaten, it's not about the sex but about the power dynamics," Kuriansky said. "For people who are into S&M, the Nazi angle is one of the most typical out-there extreme examples. After all, they're always wearing leather and boots and latex clothing. It's in line with the concept of domination and submission."

marilyn minter


Marilyn Minter was born in Louisiana and raised in Florida in an upper middle class household. Her father was an alcoholic, compulsive gambler, and occasional boxing promoter while her mom was a drug addict. When she was an undergrad at the University of Florida she took some photos of her mother which Diane Arbus, a visiting instructor at the time, saw the proof sheet and proclaimed it to be the only student work she gave a damn about that year. and so mortified her classmates with the end results that she didn’t show them again for nearly thirty years.

Minter moved to New York City in 1978, after finishing an MFA at Syracuse, and promptly entered what she calls a “coma”: nights touring the clubs of late 70’s-early 80’s downtown Manhattan, marathon boozing, and narcotic picnics back in an era when blow wasn’t supposed to be addictive. It was the perfect time to have a job teaching in a Catholic boy’s school, where she would chug Cokes and catch up on sleep in the minutes between classes. She’d been getting wasted since childhood, “on anything I could get my hands on,” and finally discovered in 1985 that the drugs had stopped working. Minter began the long, torturous task of cleaning up.
In 1989, after experimenting with dot screens and Pop Art, Minter felt compelled to do something completely new. “I thought, ‘I know—I’ll do pornography. I’ll do hardcore pornography!” If other women artists were exploring the erotics of objects, the erotics of consumption, then why not investigate the erotic itself? Scouring New York’s sex shops and adult bookstores for inspiration, Minter carefully selected and painted a series of close-ups that were compelling or funny to her. Three women croon over an erect penis in one painting titled The Supremes, which, with the exception of the solid white streaks projecting from the “microphone” onto willing fingers and tongues, is painted in seedy benday-dot fashion, as if seized from the back pages of a newsweekly, and presented on a bulky metal first-aid kit.

“I did these cumshots and thought they were really funny. I thought, ‘What’s the big deal?’ but people went nuts. Everybody likes to look at porn. I mean, the Internet’s there because of pornography. Let’s get real.”
Minter had no interest in the polite or tame. She zoomed in on blowjobs and masturbating women. She obscured faces, fragmented bodies, and made sexual anatomies seem like contraband, as if welcoming the charges of hegemony and objectification they would produce. Surely people would see the humor and irony behind them.

Minter’s 40-year career has only recently reached its zenith. After winning back the admiration of critics, the artist has had a solo exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and a much-envied spot in the 2006 Whitney Biennial in which her work was the invitation image. In 2007, her first retrospective monograph was published by Gregory R. Miller & Co., and she had shows in Sweden, the U.K., Spain, and France. Her photos of Pamela Anderson were commissioned by the art quarterly Parkett, later featured on the cover of Zoetrope: All-Story, which she guest-designed, and following that were used in paintings.

Supreme will release a series of limited edition skateboard decks designed by Marilyn Minter. The series will consist of three decks designed by Ms. Minter.
Available at the NY and LA stores on April 10th and online April 17th.
Japan will release the project on April 12th.
