Serbian vampire hunters prevent Milosevic come-back

Drive 3ft stake through dictator's black heart

Serbian vampire hunters have acted to prevent the very remote possibility that former dictator Slobodan Milosevic might stage a come-back - by driving a three-foot stake through his heart.

According to Ananova, the politically-motivated Van Helsings, led by Miroslav Milosevic (no relation), gave themselves up to cops after attacking the deceased despot in his grave in the eastern town of Pozarevac. Milosevic popped his clogs back in 2006, while on trial in a UN war crimes tribunal for various unsavoury activities connected with the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia.

Miroslav Milosevic said "he and his fellow vampire hunters acted to stop the former dictator returning from the dead to haunt the country". His team explained that the wooden stake had been "driven into the ground and through the late president's heart".

My brother is torturing me. He keeps sending me negative reviews of 300.

Now, I'm predisposed to roll my eyes so far they fall out of my head that anyone tried to make a whole movie around Thermopylae. It's ridic. But what's killing me is most of the reviews he's sending me miss the point in their hate. And often very confused about historical facts. So I hate everyone. It's great.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Do they screen for stupid? I'm looking for a site that screens for stupid. Like, what if you're really beautiful but without the aid of OSHA, you'd be balancing on the top rungs of ladders?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

anyone tried to make a whole movie around Thermopylae.

What are the people hating? Are they missing the point that it's based on a Frank Miller comic, and therefore way over the top?

Ngh. I need to wake up so I can make a phone call to an angry user. I don't think "Dude, sucks to be you." will qualify as good customer service.

Well, put it this way. One commented on the lack of an anti-war sentiment. And had issue with the fact that OMG they were fighting the Persians! OMG, Iran peoples!! There is a lot of ott hate too. Which, fine, not my thing either but what else is left if you've got 2 hours or whatever to have a Battle of Thermopylae? It's pretty much just strategy and violence. Which, well, I don't see the point of trying to make a movie about it, but that's why I hate it.

The New York Times review of 300 is kind of hilarious. ("The Persians, pioneers in the art of facial piercing, have vastly greater numbers — including ninjas, dervishes, elephants, a charging rhino and an angry bald giant — but the Spartans clearly have superior health clubs and electrolysis facilities.")

Also, breaking news, Salma Hayek is pregnant. But what gets me is, she's also 40! Damn, she looks good. [link]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I guess if I thought about it, Salma Hayek looks mid-thirties. But 40! And admits it! She rules.

Speaking of NYT movie reviews, I heard Host was good, but goddamn if I could tell either way from the review there. Utter gibberish.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Salma Hayek is 40?? WTF! How many virgins do you have to exsanguinate to look like that at 40? I thought she was like 32.

My brother is torturing me. He keeps sending me negative reviews of 300.

I was going to say. There is no need to get into politics to hate that movie. The whole "I am going into batle with no armor on! Also, I think leather underpants are awesome -- they breathe so well!!" issue is a big non-starter, for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

40? Wow. I guess 40 is the new 30.
