Guys, I think I’m in the weird part of the internet again.
May I present: Beyonce – Single Ladies (Reversed With Illuminati message)
I honestly can’t tell if this is meant as farce or if this video’s creator believes every crazy-ass bit. What I can say is that watching Beyonce do a jerky, backwards chicken dance is WAY better than the original.
(PS – Yes, I know that “Beyonce” has a little accent on the E. However, two things:
1. I’m too lazy to find the character map right now and
2. This way you can pronounce it Be-YONCE in your head, which is way more fun. You’re welcome.)
I have a notoriously strong stomach, and this made me feel ill. There’s something…sacred about the brain, about what makes “us”, “us”. The idea of someone manipulating your very self with something so everyday as an icepick is terrifying to me.
It happened to Rosemary Kennedy, JFK’s younger sister. “We went through the top of the head, I think she was awake. She had a mild tranquilizer. I made a surgical incision in the brain through the skull. It was near the front. It was on both sides. We just made a small incision, no more than an inch.” The instrument Dr. Watts used looked like a butter knife. He swung it up and down to cut brain tissue. “We put an instrument inside,” he said. As Dr. Watts cut, Dr. Freeman put questions to Rosemary. For example, he asked her to recite the Lord’s Prayer or sing “God Bless America” or count backwards. … “We made an estimate on how far to cut based on how she responded.” … When she began to become incoherent, they stopped. (Kessler, The Sins of the Father, p. 226, via Wikipedia.)
Lobotomies are still performed as a treatment in certain debilitating mental illnesses.
There are greater horrors in life than I could ever hope to write.
Did you know you can watch free horror movies on Youtube? Yeah, yeah, I know you can watch “free” movies, in the sense of pirated films uploaded in ten-minute segments, but I’m talking the real deal here. YouTube has an entire subsection of free, full-length and legitimately-obtained films.
There are movies for rent, too, if you feel like throwing money at the Internet. Me? I’m gonna go pop some popcorn, turn out the lights, and gorge myself on these free treasures. The whole list is here. Why not watch a couple tonight? — if you’re anything like me, you won’t sleep until dawn anyway.
