... number 123456789!
because they're all cut
from the same damn mold,
these days -
all developed in chain,
from the damned "developmental"
hellhole called "NXT"
or from any other variety of
newfangled "power plants"
all across the globe
that keep churning out
hopefuls for the likes of
ROH, AEW, NWA, TNA, NJPW
and, yes, the wretched WWE!
So, no - we don't believe in reincarnation
nor do we think whatsisname from The Shield
to be a vampire who hasn't aged since 1886!
We just know them all to be... a dime-a-dozen!
It's been that way for a long, loooooong time now!
Anybody with half-a-brain knows that!
Imagine somebody luminous - like me!
*LOL*

RDJ
Recently, the versatile actor who certainly doesn't give a damn that he is
made the following declaration - if one believes the meme made out of it, that is:
I had to respond - under one of my most easily-identifiable guises...
(can you guess which one it is)
YEAH
- that's right -
REALLY!
U SUK RDJ!
... and here he is at his jerkiest - with The Jerk, too...

Dr. Karla Turner
So then: we've had the likes of Arianna here, honored or exposed (depending on your very own perception, entirely - and hers, evidently!) as a "barbarian - luminous style"...! She has things to say and passes on information at such a rate that it could be said that she, er, radiates it? THAT is being a "barbarian... luminous style!" people! But we didn't stop there: we've had the likes of K.O. Kelly Oxford, that tweeting twitteress extraordinaire that transformed the rather dull process of summarizing your thoughts into 140 characters into some sort of artform - or, at least some think it to be the case. So she's not merely a blabbermouth or a motormouth on the web: she's spewing forth short and concise witticisms at such a rate that it is perhaps alarming - or simply as close as humanly-possible to light-speed, hence it has to be luminous... if only in style, only!
We've also had, of course, those who simply spat out nonsense with vigorous verve and that certain je-ne-sais-quoi that some call joie-de-vivre - such as former Governor General of Canada Michaelle Jean and her compatriote Michèle Richard, to have but two abysmal examples: now those (and their like) made the cut due to the fact that they were genuinely funny and incisive too - and that is luminous barbarism, right there, indubitably!
However, overviewing all of these (and the rest of them) that were spotlighted here on U.A.N.G.A.D. over time, we have to admit that we have but skimmed the surface of possible solid cases for the dubious title of modern-day barbarians - luminous style! There are far better specimens out there (or there were) - ones that are much, much more advanced in their sage unruliness, savant not-giving-a-damnness and wise luminescent barbarism overall! And here is just one of those right now, one who puts Arianna, Kelly, Michaelle and Michéle to shame, really (the latter two cancelled each other out anyways: and, the case could be made, now more than ever, that, perhaps, the former two cancel each other out, too! But that is another story...) however, alas, this one is one who is no longer with us...
Dr. Karla Turner was a specialist of another breed - she was shunned by her peers as some sort of "loon" surely, but the fact was that she was not. Rumors abound that she was in fact MURDERED for sharing so candidly her findings, innermost beliefs and top secret information, all in one breath, almost - all in her last breath, almost, too. For, as you can see and hear (below and elsewhere on the web) Karla Turner did far more than share little tidbits of disparate thoughts on a social networking site like Kelly O does: Karla Turner shared terrifying facts about reprehensible behaviour at various levels of your military forces, the scientific elite, the powers-that-be and their associated agencies at varied levels...
Hmm... another attempt at silencing Dr. Turner? Not gonna happen.

Hmm... another attempt at silencing Dr. Turner? Not gonna happen.
Eons ahead of a mere "conspiracy theorist" or anything of the sort, Karla Turner told the TRUTH: and paid the ultimate price for it ("ultimate" as we conceive of it, of course, in our rather short and oftentimes dismal earthly existences - of course. Nothing pessimistic or fatalistic about this: just being my old Realist-self and trying to reach as wide an audience as possible: and, truth be told, once again, the majority is quite simply not happy 99% of the time: hmm, where have we seen that number, again...? That's another story.) And she doesn't even have her own Wikipedia page for all her troubles! As she stated oftentimes, her work, her research, was dismissed by many as pure science-fiction: but it was always being paid the utmost attention to by those pesky powers-that-be, and she always knew it.
Karla Turner has to be liked by any child of the television age out there for so many reasons, too: but the fact is that one simple reason (if superficial one at best) suffices to explain it. The child of the television age will recognize in here echoes of some of their favorite TV heroes, the ones that championed the truth at all costs, regardless of possible consequences. She is, in fact, a female version (and quite improved version too) of the good ol' David Vincent character from that time-honored Quinn Martin production we all loved to watch, back in the day - through endless repeats or as a brand-new show, if you are old enough, of course... Light years above the humdrum renditions of truth-seekers of latter times (Mulder & Scully) David Vincent (or as I liked to call him: "D.V."!) was a normal individual yet a specialist too, a professional with everyday concerns and nothing else: until the day he became exposed to another reality, the hidden truth, and could not possibly keep mum about it, much less simply "get it out of his head" and go on with his routine as if nothing had happened... Once you know the truth, you cannot keep silent. The most cowardly will, though: but not the heroic, not the unruly heroic, not those who only give a damn about one thing and that thing is THE TRUTH! In brief, not the Karla Turners among us. She spread the word about what horrific things she found out and was silenced way before her time - way before her appointed time, appointed time by a Higher Power, meaning God, not E.T.s; just making that part clear, too... She left us at the age of 48, as she was only beginning to reach the masses with her findings. Many believe that, as it was the case with many others who represented hardcore evidence of these findings and were found dead shortly after, Dr. Turner's early demise was provoked and the cause of her death -an especially virulent kind of cancer- was induced and not naturally developed by her own body... She was effectively silenced - but, luckily, the recordings (and writings) remain and her voice can still be heard. Everywhere. And in many languages too...
Verily, Karla Turner is to be equated to a martyr or even a Joan of Ark of modern times. So yes...
Let's give the final word here to Dr. Karla Turner - for she deserves our attention far more than the Kelly Oxfords, Arianna Huffingtons, Oprah Winfreys or whatevers of our world these days...

Unhate Unruly Benetton
Benetton -or, really, Alessandro & Co- has done it again: in their efforts to be (or remain) the top dog in its domain, they've conjured up a series of doctored snapshots that makes any photoshop aficionado simply salivate in envy: okay, maybe that is not the appropriate statement to go with that just now, considering the nature of those photoshopped pics...!
Angela Merkel & Nicolas Sarkozy. Barack Obama & Hugo Chavez. The Pope and the Egyptian Imam. North Korea and South Korea leaders - Palestinian and Israeli - the works! All kissing and making up. All "unhating"...! What a concept for an ad campaign - heck, for a FOUNDATION, as Benetton swears there is such a thing as the "Unhate Foundation"(they probably meant to donate 10 cents on every portion of 100 dollars sold of highly-expensive trendy clothes to it - see what you ruined there by protesting too much, Vatican? But we're getting ahead of ourselves here...)
The Unhate Foundation - what a concept! And "exorcising the fear of the other" is their aim! It is truly a genial idea to create such a foundation: for, why share your profit by donating to an external one when you can create your own, keep all the cash flow within the ranks and keep and maintain the appearance of being one of those (highly) commercial enterprises that "gives back"...? It is an improvement upon a formula that was seen in Japan, in the United States too (of course) and, now (almost typoed it "nwo" here - wow), finally, in Europe, in mama Italia, cradle of all civilization (sorry, Greece!)
But all that is another story - let us concentrate, here and now, on the infamous ad campaign...! And, in order to just just that, let us, first and foremost, run through that series of disturbing shots - again:
Ah yes - we needed to see that again - didn't we?
(Actually, did we just see it again - or didn't we? Depends which way the wind is blowing on YouTube, Blogger and the net overall, really...! And on the good humor of your internet provider - and, of course, your home computer as well! All of them may protest as virulently and vehemently as the Vatican did, at any given time here...! But we are digressing now...)
This ad campaign has, of course, given rise to a storm of controversy on all levels, be it religious, political as even artistic and even ethical...!
For this campaign has sparked organized (highly so, really) guerrilla actions throughout the world (wherever there is a United Colors of Benetton banner, really...) so forget the Occupy movement - this one has professionally-doctored striking images to show the world!
So much so that it stirred Benetton to concoct an explanatory video to basically justify itself in its choice to greenlight this risky ad campaign at all in the first place; watch...
Even though it was all a fruitless, pointless and quite in vain explanation in the end (the ads have been pulled out) it still fueled conversation and every pundit in town (even those types that we have almost forgotten about - and some we barely know about) have gone over it, over and over again...
Benetton was once again successful -extremely successful- at raising awareness of an issue dear to them (they are, after all, the "United Colors of Benetton" - not just "Benetton"!) and, most importantly for them, at setting themselves widely apart from all of their competition because, after all is said and done, at the end of the mercantile day, Benetton is really nothing other than a clothing firm! A glitzy, slightly eccentric, off the charts Italian clothing firm, sure, but nothing else, really!
Benetton is unruly by choice and, in its constant effort to be relevant, make an impact, stand out from the sea of competitors out there, it estimates its right to invade the platform of great debates such as the one revolving around "what does it take to finally have world peace" and such. The campaign is withdrawn now but it will linger on in all media for quite a while longer and even if it is utopian, odd (to put it mildly) and all-around unlikely, it generates just what Benetton really wants, ultimately - publicity for its brand. And that, my friends, is pure genius, marketing-wise anyhow...! Never mind the fact that all the snapshots are obviously fake and none of that has a snowball-in-hell's chance of ever, EVER, EVER happening in the real world...! (Well, actually, Merkel and Sarkozy I could see happening - if Carla's in the middle? But all the others are pure/impure fantasy...! Hey - Blame it on Benetton! Ok?)
Thus, its latest crazy idea for an ad campaign "that stands out" got the shaft due to the Vatican, ironically, their own backyard pontiff and crew, who deemed it highly offensive, disturbing and downright disrespectful. It stood out, all right, this latest ad campaign - it stood out too much and went too far beyond the borders of the clothing and fashion galaxy! When it begins to broach universal subjects, and in such a vigorous "shake them up to wake them up and make them react" way, it is truly a case when the fashionistas are treading upon territory that is not theirs and where they should not tread.
For fine clothing is simply not the solution that will beget world peace!
And besides, everyone knows that there isn't a single imam, politician or any Pope in history that ever, EVER, dressed at Benetton's...! Come on...!
;-)
Having said all that - kudos to Alessandro Benetton for not giving up on this at all (when controversy rose and the Vatican condemned it) and for releasing a FILM now, which you can see below, one that carries forth the campaign to the everyman and everywoman confronted with hatred - to every potential customer, hence! A film that explores the very real and far more disturbing tendency that humankind has to intermingle love and hate, go from one to the other with the greatest of ease, as if the feelings were interchangeable...? This theory (that love gives way to hate and vice-versa) is explored in full throttle in the short film commissioned by A.B. and it eludes the previous type of controversy by avoiding to use any world leaders or religious patriarchs against their will - rather, it features a selected cast of unknowns doing what comes naturally to some of their types of human nature. The new controversy it might generate will be of an entire other order: for, if the pulsion to love is truly intertwined with that to hate, humankind will assuredly self-destruct (since, on top of all that, many of the instances of spontaneous love lead nowhere fast...!) Now that is far more disturbing than any pics of annoying old goats puckering up after years of threatening the lives, welfare and all-around peace of mind of millions upon millions around the world! Wouldn't you agree?
Watch that short film now, why don't you:
On 16th November 2011, in Paris, Alessandro Benetton launched and presented to the press Unhate, the worldwide communication campaign.
The film Unhate tells of the precarious balance and complex interweaving between the drive to hate and the reasons to love.

Steve Gettis
When you threaten an illustrious Irish playwright with bodily harm (never mind the fact that he is long dead and buried and therefore pretty much out of harm's way now!) - you must be considered "unruly" too! And such is the case of one Steve Gettis - proud father of a 4 year-old Ben Grimm fan AND of the website called "Hey Oscar Wilde - It's Clobberin Time!"
Some of the illuminaries showcased there, veritable "sci fi icons" as rendered in portrait by a vast array of sequential art professionals, include giants such as the ones that follow, headlined as they are by the one, the only Orson Welles...
All of these are spotlighted on Wired.com's "underwire" feature - a cyber version of the underground art movement, one guesses...! Go ahead - click on each one and see (try your luck - what is there to lose, eh?)
Steve Gettis got the project off the ground in 1998 by firing off 10 letters to illustrators whose work he enjoyed, asking if they might pass along sketches of their literary favorites.
And the rest is history - internet history, anyhow!
Wired.com should have spotlighted this on its TENTH anniversary, though...
What in blue blazes were they doing in 2008 that could possibly explain their missing out on it, huh? HUH?
(Me? I'm too busy to ferret out such things - but when they are brought out to my attention, I'll tip my hat to them, sure! Isn't it what I'm doing right now - eh?)
Steve Gettis can live without the applause though! Any publicity his art gallery gets is a bonus - he lives for the ART, man!
It is still shocking though that an established publication like Wired fumbles the ball like this - missing out on a 10th anniversary, they try to save face opining on it a bit at the 11th hour - narrowingly before it becomes 12th anniversary fare!? Might as well have waited for the 13th anniversary then - in 2011! Because no one is celebrating anniversaries in 2012, or so we've been hearing...
But that's another story again - damn!
So yeah - Wired dropped the ball on that one!
Still... Wired got me a tiny bit worked up about this, at this time:
Eye-Popping Blog Remixes Memorable Comic Book Covers
So, maybe, JUST MAYBE, their timing wasn't so bad...?
Nah.
It is totally off indeed: since I do not give a guinea pig's a$$ about "memorable comic-booky covers" anymore - much less remixes of them!
It's still worth a look though, I suppose - if only for the laughs...
;)

Une maison hantée anime le Centropolis jusqu'au 31 octobre
par Stéphane St-Amour
Article mis en ligne le 14 octobre 2009 à 14:31
Dirk Hagen, le concepteur de la maison hantée d'Hollywood Halloween.
Hollywood Halloween espère attirer 25 000 visiteurs
Une maison hantée anime le Centropolis jusqu'au 31 octobre
Les deux chapiteaux blancs érigés dans la partie ouest du Centropolis abritent une maison hantée qui accueillera les amateurs de films d'horreur jusqu'au 31 octobre prochain, jour de l'Halloween.
Connue sous le vocable d'Hollywood Halloween, cette maison habitée par les créatures les plus effrayantes du grand écran est l'œuvre de Dirk Hagen, un Montréalais d'origine installé depuis près de 25 ans à Los Angeles où il réalise des films et des vidéos d'horreur.
Frissons garantis
À la tête de Timberwolf Haunts, une entreprise de divertissements qui se spécialise dans la création d’événements liés à la thématique halloweenesque, M. Hagen promet des frissons aux quelque 25 000 visiteurs qu'il entend attirer à Laval durant les quinze jours que durera l'événement.
«Vous avez vu les films au cinéma ? Maintenant, venez les vivre!», lance l'initiateur de ce projet, qui a permis l'investissement privé d'un quart de million de dollars dans la région.
L'équipe de Timberwolf Haunts a mis plus d'un mois pour aménager le site, la maison et ses couloirs tortueux aux détours desquels peuvent surgir à tout moment des personnages qui ont marqué l'imaginaire des amateurs de sensations fortes. Au total, ils sont une cinquantaine de personnes à animer la maison en donnant vie à toutes ces créatures.
Plusieurs chambres à travers lesquelles déambulent les visiteurs recréent des pièces d'anthologie de ce genre de cinéma qui, chaque année, revit à cette période-ci de l'année. Incidemment, de l'avis même du concepteur, la visite de la maison est déconseillée aux jeunes de 13 ans et moins.
On dit de la firme de Dirk Hagen qu'elle travaille continuellement à la création et à la conception d’effets spéciaux liés à l'horreur avec Universal Studios Hollywood, Halloween Horror Nights et Knott's Scary Farm Holloween Haunt, situés à Anaheim, en Californie.
Coup de filet
Commissaire au développement touristique à Laval Technopole, Jean-Marc Lecouturier est particulièrement fier de ce coup de filet, rappelant que M. Hagen était courtisé par plusieurs municipalités de la région métropolitaine.
«Avec cet événement, Laval se positionne comme un incontournable de l'Halloween dans la grande région de Montréal», dit-il, espérant que cette attraction revienne chaque automne.
Directrice du Centropolis, Hélène Veilleux a souligné pour sa part que le projet Hollywood Halloween s'inscrit parfaitement dans la lignée de ce centre de destination à vocation commerciale et de divertissement.
Nul doute que la localisation du développement en bordure de grands axes autoroutiers ait joué un facteur clé dans la décision de Dirk Hagen d'établir ses pénates au cœur du Centropolis, question de faciliter l'accès à une population de 3,5 millions de personnes se trouvant dans un rayon de 40 kilomètres.
Les heures d'ouverture sont du lundi au vendredi entre 18h et minuit, le samedi de midi à minuit et le dimanche de midi à 18h. Prix d'entré: 25$ par personne, taxes et service en sus.

Oh - et tout ceci est presque littéralement à deux pas du "coin d'pourri" comme tu l'as appelé ici même, juste ailleurs sur ce site
T'aurais pu le mentionner ici aussi, non?

Et, par ailleurs, toujours dans ces lieux de haute culture lavalloise, on ne sait ni féminiser (prix d'entréE - voir la dernière ligne de l'article...) ni pluraliser d'ailleurs (pourris)...

Ssssss-samantha FOX! And Sharon Tate.
Samantha Fox wants to wed her longtime girlfriend,
Aye - they dream of a SIBERIAN WEDDING...
That bit of odd news immediately made me think of the famous final scene of 1967's Fearless Vampire Killers movie - in which Sharon Tate, the damsel seemingly rescued by the (very) flawed hero portrayed by the film's director himself (Roman Polanski) reveals to be a bloodsucker too, in the snowy night while they flee purportedly to safety; and that is when she BITES HIM...!
Samantha only has the blondness of her hair that compares with Sharon - and Myra is no Vampira. But still... Siberian nuptials - what else does it evoke but THAT...?!?
(What makes it all the more eerie and spooky, all the while resonant with significance too, is that this became a very doomed marriage in real life too; she was the most famous victim of the sickening Manson Family murders and her blood was shed while she was pregnant. The woman who did crazed Charles Manson's bidding on that horrible night of 1969 showed no mercy - and actually felt proud to have killed both mother and son, effectively aborting the child in the most horrendous way imaginable. And that monstrous chap, Manson, lives to this day... But that is another story.)
Back to the 1967 classic FVK film then; although the movie ends there, one can imagine what happens next: once bitten by the vampiress, the virus spreads like wildfire through his system and he turns on his mentor (so brillantly played by Jack MacGowran) and certainly slays him without mercy too. Then, after turning on his best friend for this bloody bloodsucking harlot, he becomes just like her - a fierce bloodsucker without scruples (not a harlot!)
And, as the off-screen voice concludes at the end of the epic film, with a beautifully striking (as it is mysteriously mindnumbing too) snowy mountain backdrop, the couple of night creatures will spread that nefarious "disease" throughout Europe...
That sort of wedding night that you want to have, ladies? Go right ahead then - I'll skip the bachelorette party, I think! ⧬⧬
NOTA BENE:
As it is, the saddest of anniversaries was TWO DAYS AGO: on the ninth of August... It marked 40 years that Sharon Tate's and her unborn baby's gruesome deaths occurred. And a mere 48 hours later, I notice this rather trivial bit of news (nowadays, it is) about Fox and her Myra - and it makes me think of FVK instead... and the Lady Tate.
Now there was a lady indeed.
Rest In Peace, Sharon Tate.
And Baby.

Nazanin Afshin-Jam
Great songstress Nazanin Afshin-Jam - click here to see her page on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - is incomparable in so many ways... She is a beautiful soul.
For her efforts in helping save Nazanin Fatehi, Nazanin Afshin-Jam was awarded the “hero for human rights award” from Youth For Human Rights International ...
She has done much more than save her namesake from an oppressive society, too; she has championed the cause far and beyond her call of duty, so to speak - to the detriment of her career, some will say. You don't see singers devote themselves to justice like this - anywhere. But she has done it - and continues to do it. It is so admirable. It is such a selfless act, verily.
She must be very popular amongst islamic circles too... hmm? ⼥ More power to you Nazanin!
I am proud to be linked to her on MySpace.
God Bless you, Nazanin!

... not the same Nazanin...
... likely not singing about *the* Nazanin either...
HERE she is!
Our Nazanin is a former Miss World runner-up...
She got married recently...
And she is a Christian.
