Some Pussy Riot stuff (PS, FUCK you putin, you are as bad as Stalin): PUSSY RIOT "Putin Lights Up the Fires" lyrics:  (translation credit: @Russian_Market) This state may be stronger than time in jail. The more arrests, the happier it is. Every arrest is carried out with love for the sexist Who botoxed his cheeks and pumped his chest and abs. But you can't nail us in the coffin.  Throw off the yoke of former KGB! Putin is lighting the fires of revolution He's bored and scared of sharing silence with the people With every execution: the stench of rotten ash With every long sentence: a wet dream The country is going, the country is going into the streets boldly The country is going, the country is going to bid farewell to the regime The country is going, the country is going, like a feminist wedge And Putin is going, Putin is going to say goodbye like a sheep Arrest the whole city for May 6th Seven years isn't enough, give us 18! Forbid us to scream, walk and curse! Go and marry Father Lukashenko PLUS, here is a letter written by Nadia on the eve of the verdict: PUSSY RIOT Go here to get more info: Free Pussy Riot it is OUTRAGEOUS that this shit goes on in the world. anyhow, here is a new Garbage video: pennybirdrabbit - treehouse EP FREE download Svidden - OMFG by RISLabs

AND, LASTLY, my FAVOURITE Scam so far, 10 out of 10 for originality:

Rev. Michael Chruchman
240 Bishop Avenue
vertican city, roma


Compliments of the season to you and members of your family.


My name is Rev. Michael Chruchman a member of Pope Benedict XVI, Papal
Visit to Chicago IL from 14th of January 2012 to 16th of January 2012.
On board Lufthansa airlines, LH5335 on route Rome to London Heathrow to
Chicago O'Hare international airport. At Heathrow international airport,
I meet a diplomat Mr. John Lopez with two truck boxes belonging to you
And the diplomat was seeking for an assistance which we did by giving
Him a papal tag which allowed him access to enter the United states of
America with the two truck boxes with each weighing 32 Pounds valued
3,000,000USD (Three million dollars) each. But unfortunately, the
Diplomat has lost your address and your nearest airport including your
Telephone numbers, probably because of the pressure from the airport
Authorities.



I personally assisted him to get his luggage out of the customs as He
claimed that the two truck box has a papal tag. Could you please?
Kindly contact Mr. John Lopez on email johnlopez02@rocketmail.com He is right there at the airport please contact him immediately for the delivery of this two truck boxes.


Note: your papal tag numbers are PT405ROME-IL and PT406ROME-IL.


Get back to me to confirm if you have received your two truck boxes.


May GOD bless you?
