Murderer Gets A New Liver. Sure, Why Not?

Johnny Concepcion stabbed his wife to death, then ate rat poison as the police closed in on him after a lengthy manhunt. The rat poison destroyed his liver, and after a search of the donor list, they found a donor for Concepcion, pushed him to the top of the waiting list, and performed a transplant.

As expected, there is much outrage over this, and the outrage is justified. This man stabbed his estranged wife and mother of his children fifteen times, then ingested rat poison in a cowardly attempt to avoid arrest. The excuse given after this good for nothing killer was given a new liver? Doctors are not meant to make moral decisions regarding their patients.

Asshole Spotlight: Lindsay Lohan

Baby punching and insane, racist and threatening rants would have been an obvious choice to put Mel Gibson in the Asshole Spotlight, but I chose Lindsay Lohan for my own little rant today. In doing so, this post is as much about her as it is about the sick cult of celebrity that exists in our world.

You're Doing It Wrong

It's been a while, I know. I have had some serious computer issues and was using a different computer, which is really no excuse for not posting, but it threw me off of my general life routine.

Anyway, during the days of slumming it on Facebook and watching banned commercials and weird Japanese game shows on YouTube, I did occasionally read the news, and I ran across an article more disturbing than anything on Japanese television. Unfortunately, I cannot find the article now, and I am not going to go on a great big hunt for it since it really isn't going to be necessary in order for me to say what I have to say.
