Nation of Yahweh:
"Black people are the true Jews"
Nation of Yahweh is a predominately African American religious group that is an offshoot of the Black Hebrew Israelites line of thought. They were formed in the late 1970s in Miami-Dade county. While the Nation of Yahweh falls under the umbrella of Black Hebrew Israelites, their beliefs are unique and distinct from that of other known Black Hebrew Israelite groups. The founder and creator of the religion is Yahweh ben Yahweh. The group has engendered controversy due to legal issues of its founder. It also faced accusations of being a black supremacist cult by the Southern Poverty Law Center and The The SPLC criticized the beliefs of the Nation of Yahweh as racist for the following reason. They state the group believed blacks are "the true Jews" and that whites were "white devils." In addition to this they claim the group believed Yahweh ben Yahweh had a Messianic mission to vanquish whites and that they held views similar to the Christian Identity movement. They quote Tom Metzger of White Aryan Resistance as saying groups like theirs are "the black counterpart of us."
Despite the recent death of their leader (see Yahweh ben Yahweh), the Nation of Yahweh is still active. Its members also claim to have abandoned their past racism; the leader's daughter has apparently stated that all people are children of God. An attorney and member of the group, Wendelyn Rush, insists their current war with the U.S. government is a non-violent verbal battle. The group is currently spread throughout the US and is no longer concentrated in one location (formerly Miami-Dade county). Their present literature downplays and has nearly erased all past racism.
Despite some of these present changes, much of the same rhetoric and codes of behavior have remained essentially the same as when the group began. Most still insist that Yahweh ben Yahweh is "Grand Master of All, the God of the Universe, the Grand Potentate, the Everlasting Father and the persecuted Messiah." A few elderly members consider 9-11 to have been a punishment from God for his imprisonment. Pledges of devotion to him and war against infidels allegedly still exist.

The adult entertainment industry is renowned for its ability to churn out an incredible volume of movies each year. One has to wonder how they keep coming up with titles, when so many of the films cover such similar subject matter (fucking).
Well, as it turns out, a whole lot of them are horrible and, with one glance, can turn you off the idea of porn (and even sex) for a very long time. Here are some of the worst. For your protection the graphic sexual images on these DVD covers have been covered by this image of the lovely Amy Winehouse.

15: Crack Whores of The Tenderloin
First of all, this movie gets huge props for the Kill Bill homage, if you consider this an homage. Regardless, that rocks. What else rocks? Tenderloin, the most manly food on the planet. However, if you actually meet a crack whore and she's carrying that, fucking RUN. |

An 81-year old man in the small Chilean village of Angol shocked his grieving relatives by waking up in his coffin at his own wake, local media said on Sunday.
When Feliberto Carrasco's family members discovered his body limp and cold, they were convinced that the octogenarian's hour had come, so they immediately called a funeral home, not a doctor.
Carrasco was dressed in his finest suit for the wake, and his relatives gathered to bid him a final farewell.
"I couldn't believe it. I thought I must be mistaken, and I shut my eyes," Carrasco's nephew Pedro told the daily Ultimas Noticias.
"When I opened them again, my uncle was looking at me. I started to cry and ran to get something to open up the coffin to get him out."
The man who "rose from the dead" said he was not in any pain, and only asked for a glass of water.
Local radio also surprised listeners by announcing a correction to Carrasco's death announcement, saying the news had been premature. |

A NORTH MP was left red-faced last night after accidentally giving his support
to National Fetish Day.
Organisers revealed Ronnie Campbell had promised to wear
purple to support a day of awareness tomorrow.
But the MP for Blyth Valley, Northumberland, withdrew his
backing after the Sunday Sun explained the kinky connotations of the word “fetish” which
he was not aware of.
Mr Campbell revealed he thought “fetish” was just another
word for “worry” instead of a description of people who get
their kicks in unusual ways.
Fetishists include people who wear rubber and who indulge in
bondage, sadism, and masochism.
When we told him, Mr Campbell said: “Oh my God almighty, my God, is that what
a fetish is?
“I thought a fetish was a worry, like worrying about backing the right horse.”
His comments came at the end of an, at times, confusing conversation.
When we first spoke to Mr Campbell about National Fetish Day he said: “I think my
secretary must have mentioned this.
“I have no problem with it and I am happy to show my support.
“I have a purple tie and a purple shirt so I will be able to wear their colours.”
We asked Mr Campbell if he had any fetishes and he said: “I must have a thousand but,
hand on my heart, I couldn’t tell which is the most important one. Probably the horses.”

TORONTO (Reuters) - A new law meant to help crack down on young Canadian street racers in their souped up cars has nabbed an octogenarian in his Oldsmobile.
The 85-year-old man is one of 2,300 drivers across Ontario to be charged under new legislation, designed to combat "street racing, stunts and contests", since it came into effect three months ago -- and he's the oldest.
The man was pulled over after allegedly driving 161 kilometers per hour (100 mph) this week on a main highway north of Toronto, where the speed limit is 100 km/h, Ontario Provincial Police said.
"It really doesn't matter the age of the person or whether they're trying to race another car," OPP Sgt. Cam Woolley said on Friday. "The consequences of the crashes and the laws of physics are always in effect."
Under the street racing legislation, a person is charged if they are driving 50 km/h more than the posted speed limit.
