What is the world coming to ?!?

So today, between the mere 15 page assignment I have due in two days and the buckets of rain that have pouring over everything I own, I have been browsing the web. In this activity I have discovered not one, not two, not three, but FOUR extremely bothersome things in the world. Let me clarify, not much things really give me the chills with bothersome worry.  Once I saw get his face punched in, that bothered me.  One time I saw a guys eyes roll in the back of his head and his mouth foam with whatever foamy substance comes out when you are ODing on something hardcore, that also bothered me.  But today, FOUR things caught my attention, one came from Samoa, one from Toronto, one from Zurich, and one from (I believe Germany).... Perhaps homework can be considered LETHAL in the fact that it forces you (ok, sidetracking isnt forced, but who actually focuses for more than one hour at a time?)  to discover things that you would be perfectly happy not knowing about. 

1.   Samoa... a small island in the South Pacific that I discovered today is actually U.S territory has been struck by an awful earthquake.  As much as I have been trying to avoid current events in the world while I've been here so I can stay in my ignorant wee bubble, things just keep occuring that are too important to miss.  So yeah, Samoa.  At least 77 dead, 8.0 richter earthquake, and New Zealand apparently had tsunami warnings this morning.  Freaky.  Oh world, you do scare me sometimes.

2.   Toronto: This is why I sometimes hate Hollywood, and pretentious actors who believe they know what is right in all matters of the world.  I was earlier reading some film critics blog about how Tel Aviv was recognized by recieving the city-to-city award in the Toronto film festival due to its recent contributions to the contemporary film world (The bands visit, Waltz with Bashir, I cant think of any others, etc. etc).  Of course actors such as Jane Fondo and unfortunately my love Viggo Mortenson protested this due to the recent war crimes Israel committed.  While my stance on the political issue in Israel does not matter at all, the question remains, why cant filmmakers be recognized from the region?  Since when did a "feature" film maker ever be held representative for thier countries politics.  C'Mon Hollywood assholes, film is a means of freedom of expression, and when was the last time you have seen an Israeli film that puts Israeli government in a purely positive light.  If you actually sat down and watched "Waltz with Bashir" you'd realize that the film actually takes a harsh perspective on the Israeli government due to the severe mental affects on the soldiers.  I hope to never blamed for entering a country unlawfully and starting a war for reasons unknown, and I never hope to held accountable for being one of the only countries evil enough to drop a nuclear bomb over a bustling populated city.  Come people, wake up and unite through film(its corny, but could be true, maybe?).  Stop perpetuating the situation, if Israeli and palistinean filmmakers can respect eachothers work, then surely American actors (not even makers, yes actors) can as well.  Jane, I'd expect this from you,but  Viggo come on you are better than this. 

3.  Zurich: Roman Polanski was arrested for rape of a THIRTEEN year old.  AHHHHHH.  For those of you who dont know Roman Polanski is director who has created some pretty sweet movies (The Pianist anyone?)  So at the Zurich film festival he was arrested in very public eyes due to an alleged rape that happened in the 70's in America.  RANDOM, I know.  BTW, he's now 76... Sorry Grampy, but treat those kiddies with respect. 
Men, why do you feel the need to rape small children?  Especially if you are famous.. i cant bring myself to understand. 
...So of course Hollywood is up in arms starting a petition to set Roman Polanski free due to his (random) arrest.   'Screw the fact that he raped a pre-teen, hes Roman Polanski', says Woody Allen.  (woody didnt say that, I made it up).  But Woody did sign the petition, which made me LOL , oh woody!

4.  Oh, German cinema, or American Cinema, or just fucked up cinema in general.  Someone literally took the phrase, 'Ass to mouth' too literally when writing this script.I cant decide if im secretly happy or truly utterly disturbed that this idea even exists.   Is is weird that I am curious enough to want to see it?  Is it true 3 people can be connected by thier gastrointestines from ass to mouth and survive? *shudder*. Gross, but interesting to say the least.... but probably a fact that if it never surfaced, would never enter my brain.   The first comment under the preview for this on youtube was 'human life failure', it made me chuckle.
