Nuclear Nightmares: 2o Years Since Chernobyl
Donno why, but I'm obsessed with Chernobyl. Haunting images of it make me... Not happy, but... Well, I guess you could say happy for lack of any other word. Yes, I may be a sicko, but at least I'm a interesting sicko.
Nineteenth Century Images of Albinism
This has nothing to do with my looking up to Johnny or Edgar Winter, nor do I have an obsession with people with albinism. I just love old photographs, and for some reason, the subject of albinism is controversial. Perhaps to all of you who see people with albinism as an entirely different race (and yes, there are people out there who believe this), I just want to throw this in your face and freak you out.
Side Note: My god, I want to play with this man's hair! <3>
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
Dead babies.
Yeah, you don't want to hear that. No one does. And no one wants to see that. If you search the web for dead babies, you'll be led to numerous shock sites with disturbing images. This is not one of them.
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is a non-profit organization that's working to bring back the tradition of Victorian postmortem photography. People refer to Victorian postmortem photography as Momento Mori, meaning "remember you will die." NILMDTS's (and most Victorian postmortem) photographs are not meant to make you realize you mortality, but they are done for the families of the dead as a beautiful memory of a beautiful life cut short. Of all the few modern postmortem photographers that are out there, anyone who works with NILMDTS is a noble and wonderful person to help in creating a beautiful memorial for those beautiful short lives.

Amazing and beautiful black and white photography.
I'll post more when I find them.

Grrr
As you know, the Sarcasm Unicorn Blog Website is hosted on Piczo, which has decided to fuck itself up and therefore fuck with it's members minds. I need a new web hosting site that has a site builder similar to Piczo's old way. If you know of one, please tell me.

What is Stephenie Meyer Hiding?
Recently, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer was put in the spotlight once again, but not for her "oh so brilliant" writing. This time, it's about allegations of plagiarism. And this time, it's no April Fools joke.
Jordan Scott wrote a story not unlike Meyer's Breaking Dawn called The Nocturne. The thing is, The Nocturne was written in 2006, before Breaking Dawn's release which was in 2008. Scott claims that some passages were stolen, word for word, along with a similar plot and characters.
So me, being a hands on kind of girl, sent her (brother) an email asking for a comment. Nothing long and over doing it, just a comment stating if she's innocent. I think I was very fair and polite in my emial. What do you all think? :
Dear Seth,
In the past I wrote to you, asking if Mrs. Meyer would comment and answer questions about attacks made by fans of Twilight. I wrote that article on it, and my readers were furious that Mrs. Meyer would avoid such a serious topic. But, I assure you, this is email not about the attacks.
This time, I would like to ask Mrs. Meyer to comment on the latest accusation plagiarism. No details about court activities or anything she might not be able to say due to the law holding her back are necessary, just a simple comment.
If the dear Mrs. Meyer has nothing to hide and is truly innocent, she will be most obliged to reply to this email, to stand up and proclaim her innocence and uphold her positive view in the public eye.
I'm eager to hear back from you. Best wishes,
- Kelly Ann Scheffer.
No only was I so rudely snuffed, with not so much as a "no comment" reply, but Meyer's website hasn't been updated since July 15th. No so much as a "I'm hanging in there, guys!" or "These allegations are false, I promise my fans that!" like most writers would do. Nope. Nothing.
Makes you really think, doesn't it? Makes you wonder just what is Twilight author Stephenie Meyer hiding from the world. To be honest, anyone who seems to just drop off the face of the earth in a time like this just makes the claims seem more justifiable!
And remember Meyer, we at The Sarcasm Unicorn are not behind you even half the way. We will not cheer you on. We hope you lose this case for the sake of minds of future readers. We hope you books are banned and never go into production again.
Good day, Madame, if you should be reading this, and good day to all my readers. :)

Translated: I'm lumberjack and I'm ok. I work all night sleep, 1 Japan and China (How did Japan and China come into this???)
In English: Always look on the bright side of life
Translated: Always glance of the surface whose life is bright. (Eh... Close enough)
In English: I'm just a sweet transvestite (This should be good)

In English: From transsexual Transylvania
Translated: From Transylvania of sex reversal (lulz)
In English: I'm a chunky monkey from Funky Town

Fur Zombies
There is a new and disgusting trend going around deviantArt, which we call Fur Zombies. These Fur Zombies are also called Taxidermy Plushies, and they are made of the fur of dead wolves, foxes, coyotes and other animals.
Now lets get something straight, I am in NO WAY a supporter of PETA. I use to be, back when I was younger and they brainwashed me, but I saw the light and told them to fuck off. I'm what I call, an "animal rights activist against PETA". They kill. PTEA murders.
Back to the article.
Now, I'm not 100% against hunting. I understand population control and I understand that some people need to hunt to eat. I also understand that when these good hunters are finished with their kill, they like to use every part of the body. This may include taxidermy. I'm not against this. If you display the animal in a dignified way, give it a scene of freedom and authority like it would have in the wild, that's fine, but Fur Zombies are nothing more than plushies. TOYS.
The creators of Fur Zombies would have you believe that it's "art" and that they are being treated in a dignified manner.
Most of these Fur Zombies are thrown onto beds like any ordinary plushie or teddy bear would be. They are put in stupid positions so they can be photographed for funny and "cute" pictures. They are cuddled with and treated like a toy, which is what they are. A sick toy made from a dead animal.
If you have to have an animal killed to make "art", then you're no artist. You're as guilty of murder as the fur farm those pelts came from.
The only... slight... exceptions are if the animal died of natural causes or roadkill. But it's still creepy and degrading. Some people say they use these plushies for the study of the anatomy of the animal, which is just as possible to do using reference photos.

Death
2009 seems to be that year the dear old Grim Reaper favors, taking many famous and beloved people.
Deaths include David Carradine, Ed McMahon, Bea Arthur, Farrah Fawcett and of course Michael Jackson. Of course, it's only June. We have 6 more moths to go. Much more room for more celeb deaths.
So here are my predictions of deaths to come with in the next months:
William Shatner
Karl Lagerfeld
Octomom
That governor who was hiking the Appalachian trails... in Argentina...
Chuck Norris (YES I WENT THERE!)
The death of Farrah Fawcett was tragic, but totally expected. RIP Farrah. I'm so glad you aren't suffering anymore.
The death of David Carradine first made me cry when I heard the words "suicide", then made me giggle when The Guitar Guy (The guy Jeff Dunham uses in his concerts) made jokes about him dying by something so kinky. RIP David. You were a real tripp.
Ed McMahon... HEEEEEERE'S JOHNNEY! RIP Ed.
Bea Arthur... Aw, Bea, you're eternally golden. I grew up on The Golden Girls. Bea was an amazing woman and losing her is like losing a national treasure. RIP Bea...
Oh, and of course Michael Jackson. The King of Pop. Granted, I wasn't a big fan of his. I had mixed fealings about the child abuse case. Honestly, I didn't know whether to believe it really happened or if the kid lied to get money. But I did like some of his music. His death, much like Steve Irwin's, was sudden and unexpected. Every time I think about it, it seems so surreal. It's like he's still here, but when I stop to think about it, I realize he's gone and never coming back. RIP Michael. You'll forever be the King of Pop.
