Forever's Not So Long Video Outrage: Utah Police Kill Marijuana Smoker in Own Home Huffington Post reports it as “Police Kill Man In Drug Raid Gone Wrong“. So what’s the “gone wrong” part? The police had a no-knock warrant (though they forgot to bring it) to search for drugs. Busting down a citizen’s door quickly, loudly, and with overwhelming force is the standard. It is standard operating procedure to send the “Weber-Morgan County Narcotics Strike Force” in all-black full body armor, toting automatic weapons under the cover of night. When you break down a man’s door in the middle of the night with guns drawn, somebody dying isn’t an unexpected outcome. Most of the time nobody dies (except the dog) and the few that are killed that you read about are the ones that shock everybody because they didn’t have large amounts of drugs or a firearm on them at the time. Note how many times you read about a raid where “multiple firearms” are found and that is used to justify the excessive force of the raid. Cannabis is not cocaine. I know legalization might take awhile.
HYSTERICAL LITERATURE: THE ORGASM AS ART In his latest project, Hysterical Literature, photographer Clayton Cubitt takes a beautiful woman, places her at a table in front of a black backdrop and gets her to read from her favorite book while an unseen accomplice below the table attempts to bring the woman to orgasm with a vibrator. The results are an intimate, sexy experience that captures a beauty rarely found in most modern pornography. Session Five: Teresa Session Four: Stormy Session Three: Danielle Session Two: Alicia Session One: Stoya Stoya writes about her encounter: Sexually speaking I really enjoy things that I can’t predict and things that are new to me. When I tell Clayton’s lovely assistant for the evening that I’ve never experienced the Hitachi, her eyes light up. And Clayton Cubitt talks to Salon about the project. Okay, and now, the shameless product placement.
