Slipknot is garbage but there's definitely some cultural cachet in being the singer so hardcore he literally busted a nut.

Or how much of it is actually true.

Due to how impenetrable the country is, a lot of unverifiable stuff gets reported as fact, with the only source being an anonymous person in the South Korean intelligence apparatus or some "Chinese official", all of whom are working an angle of some kind. And even if they're being truthful with whoever they're leaking info to, there's no guarantee that their source in North Korea isn't lying to them or being lied to by someone else.

It's also hard to overstate just how much of what the North publicizes themselves, ostensibly for the rest of the world, is actually intended for internal audiences. Assuming that this guy was killed, it could just as easily be because he got caught selling information to China or because he was in charge of some external business and skimmed too much off the top or because Kim thought he was getting too buddy-buddy with the wrong people and he perceived a threat.

Not defending the North by any stretch, it just annoys the crap out of me how much poo poo gets uncritically reported about them, and how it always seems to distract from the real poo poo they are doing.

There's been at least 3 people who have been Lord Buckethead, so there's always a chance he can return.

You mess with the crabbo...



Imagine four Lord Bucketheads on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the Lord Buckethead nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of Lord Bucketheads and takes the place of the first Lord Buckethead. The formerly first Lord Buckethead becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff.

Politics work the same way.

He says it's because the original creator asked to take back creative control of the character (it's from some 1984 film), so I don't think so. :smith:

Before I looked it up I thought Lord Buckethead was that virtuosic guitar player and was surprised to find out there had been three of them

e: now it makes more sense that people were bringing him up along with British politicians

That’s what I thought until this exact post. I just kind of assumed it was like when California elected Schwarzenegger governor.

"Something witty."
NBA star Scottie Pippen sues girl, 5, for damages to Florida mansion

quote:

NBA great Scottie Pippen is reportedly suing a five-year-old girl for vandalising his $US10 million Florida mansion by scribbling on the walls with markers and crayons. Pippen, 53, added the girl’s name to a lawsuit he filed against her parents, Lindsay Glazer and Jacob Wolloshin, who he is asking for damages in excess of $US100,000. He claims the girl’s “vandalising ways show (that) Glazer and Woloshin failed as parents.”

Glazer, who is a stand-up comedian, slammed Pippen in a string of stinging tweets.

“Quite frankly, I’m surprised they ever thought @ScottiePippen lived anywhere, besides Michael Jordan’s shadow,” she wrote.
