- Remember last World Watch we talked about Stop Kony campaign? The director of the widely acclaimed and controversial video apparently had a “meltdown”. That’s what they call going epic insane on LSD, and running, gyrating naked, and masturbating on the road. Typical of hippies. Or maybe he is under a severe attack of Voodoo. We wish him speedy recovery though … and a name suggestion for his next project. Stop Horny.
- In other news, which carries on the legacy, a few Indian right wing ministers were found watching porn. Yeah, again. In a state assembly, from the same morally conservative right-wing party. Critic Editor Joe Stockman was mighty impressed by the consistency and suggested that he should make this news of Indian right-wing ministers watching porn a recurring feature in every World Watch – a suggestion I am really considering, as that will make my search a bit easy.
- North Korea, arguably the most bizarre country in this bizarre planet, had its 415th triplet birth this week. The national media (i.e., the only media) of the already impoverished country claimed that this was due to the milk and honey treatment, which helps in triplet births, which are considered something wonderful. The mum, Kim Ok, is quite OK now and dad King Kong is quite happy as they will receive lots of gifts from Dear Leader Kim III.
- This would have been funny had it not been so horribly sad. Mariya Dmitriyenko of Kazakhstan won the shooting championship in Kuwait, and found to her shock and horror, the soundtrack of Borat being played in place of her national anthem. The lyrics included sentences like Kazakh prostitutes cleanest in the region and come grasp the mighty penis of our leader. Apparently the hilariously inept Kuwaiti organizers got the soundtrack from Youtube, when they were searching for the national anthems.
