Skid Row is back with new plans to conquer the world. This all came together in an Atlanta recording studio, but it's a different time, a different industry, so they decided to record a series of EPs instead of a full-length album. They may have got older, but Skid Row never grew up. United World Rebellion is still youth gone wild, their musical spark still burning gasoline. United World Rebellion — Part 1 is Skid Row coming out swinging, however, this is chapter 2 so lets hope the spark is still there raging. You can check out the EP by clicking on the video above, but also please support the band by purchasing it*.

Everything You Know Is Wrong
Bruce Botelho Jr.
Right now West Africa is host to the worst Ebola outbreak in history. Over 900 of the 1600 infected have died causing the leaders of those countries to back out of a US led business summit of African nations. John Boehner took exception to this, "Again we witness Obama's lack of leadership." He said while sipping a margarita on the deck of his vacation home. "Either that or these leaders don't know what public service is all about."
Kent Brantley, a US doctor working to contain the Ebola outbreak, was flown to America to receive an experimental vaccine after he contacted the deadly disease. No one who protested the supposedly, "infected" immigrant children crossing the US border could be reached for comment. If this treatment works it would replace the current treatment of, "oral rehydration therapy," or if you want to get technical, "drink lots of Gatorade." Though it may be hard to convince citizens of west Africa to take an experimental drug. Apparently Africans have a hard time trusting western civilizations which may seem unreasonable if you ignore every interaction between the West and Africa.
Seriously though, it's not easy finding the humor in Ebola because it's a horrible disease. You can contract it and remain symptom free for up to three weeks. It's symptoms include fever, joint ache, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and internal/external bleeding which can lead to organ failure and death. But I'm not worried about an outbreak in America. It can easily be contained here with our up to date sterilization and medical technology. I'm much more concerned about an unimpeded outbreak in Africa killing millions and seamlessly spreading to the rest of the world. It's in America's and the world's best interest to eliminate Ebola in Africa, and fortunately America is into looking compassionate (kinda) at the moment so we won't just bomb the outbreak sites, but I'm sure we'll reconsider if Ebola starts causing pathological aggression in corpses.
FOXING AROUND: Will return in the live episodes. Beginning on 8/13/14

 Dan Martin TOP 5 is ALIVE: Top 5 Trending Topics That Aren't News: As you all know social media websites have feeds listing Trending Topics. These are things everyone's talking about. Well then why are they always the last things I want to know? What ever happened to the news? Do people still watch it on Televisions like cave men? Is youtube news? More questions and no real answers as I present my Top 5 Topics that are trending but aren't news: 5. Depression: This was actually a trending topic on Yahoo today. Click this and it will tell you the symptoms of depression and bring up any related stories containing the word. Millions of Americans are affected by depression a day. Heck, I'm one of them. This is not news. | 4. Technology and Celebrities: Though Ebola did get a mention on Face Book's trending list, it was sandwiched between T-Mobile supposedly withdrawing it's bid to Sprint and "Guardian's Of The Galaxy" leading man Chris Pratt Rapping an Eminem Song. Kidding? No, I am not that creative. 3. Guardians Of The Galaxy: Since it is the number one movie in the minds of Americans everywhere, we will be inundated with information about it's stats in box-office, it's actors escapades and when it loses it's first tooth. Forever holding that trending spot above anything that you or I would actually care about. Though it was a sweet flick! 2. Pop Culture, i.e. Video Games: Mortal Kombat is trending today as well. Fans are excited for the newest addition to the game series. Say, Did you know that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his government Tuesday to draft a response to Western economic sanctions over Moscow's perceived backing of pro-Kremlin rebels in Ukraine's volatile east? No, but I do know where I can watch the exclusive MK 9 Cinematics. 1. Jennifer Aniston: I know I already did Celebrities but JENNIFER "F&*$ing ANISTON? What piece of cinematic garbage am I going to have to watch her pretend to be a sexy 21 year old in now? Is Friends doing a reunion? You know there was a hurricane warning in my town last week and I found out through a cell phone alert. We are all Fucked. |
