A Father Hire Assasin To Kill His Son
Father Hires In-Game “Hitmen” To Deter Son From Playing
Sick and tired of his son playing video games and not listening to him, a father in China decided to take matters into his own hands... well, sort of. Instead of sending his son off to addiction camp or stripping him of internet and gaming rights, Mr. Feng (冯先生) chose to hire an online "hitman" to school his son.
Feng's 23 year-old son, "Xiao Feng" (小冯) started playing video games in high school. Through his years of playing various online games, he supposedly thought himself a master of Chinese online role playing games. According to his father, Xiao Feng had good grades in school, so they allowed him to play games; but when he couldn't land a job they started looking into things. He, however, says he simply couldn't find any work that he liked. Feng was annoyed that his son couldn't even tough it out for three months at a software development company.
Unhappy with his son not finding a job, Feng decided to hire players in his son's favorite online games to hunt down Xiao Feng. It is unknown where or how Feng found the in-game assassins—every one of the players he hired were stronger and higher leveled than Xiao Feng. Feng's idea was that his son would get bored of playing games if he was killed every time he logged on, and that he would start putting more effort into getting a job.
Despite being sick of getting killed every time, Xiao Feng decided to stick up to his father and tell him how he felt. He was quoted as saying, "I can play or I can not play, it doesn't bother me. I'm not looking for any job—I want to take some time to find one that suits me."
Hearing his son's earnest plea, Feng said that he was "relieved". It's unsure if Feng has called off his assassins or if Xiao Feng has found a job. One thing's for sure; Feng's way of deterring his son from playing games might be one of the best ideas to come out of China recently, particularly as reactions to "gaming and internet addiction" have been very extreme.
Angelina Jolie Sex Tape
Brad Pitt to Pay $10 Million For Angelina Jolie Sex Tape?!
Brad Pitt is “ready to shell out a staggering $10 million” to make sure “raunchy photos and a rumored sex tape” starring Angelina Jolie “never see the light of day,” according to the National Enquirer.
In its latest “world exclusive” (cough), the Enquirer claims there may be a set of previously unseen racy photos featuring Jolie “floating around — including some involving self-mutilation — as well as a possible sex tape.”
The tabloid’s source says Pitt fears that if these “rumored” photos and video ever surface, “it would scar the couple’s six children emotionally and psychologically.”
“Brad’s out to protect the new image that Angelina has tried hard to build — A-list actress, doting mother of six and UN human-rights crusader,” explains the Enquirer insider. “He’ll do whatever it takes to buy these photos and track down the alleged sex tape.”
We’re sure Pitt would do anything to save Jolie and his children from embarrassment.
Except the Enquirer has NO CLUE whether there’s actually a Jolie sex tape.
A source tells the tabloid that Pitt hired investigators to look into his partner’s past, and was allegedly told that she “may have made a sex tape during a ‘drug-fueled session’ in 1999.”
From there, the magazine dives head first into wild speculation about an alleged heroin bender more than 13 years ago and what Jolie may or may not have been photographed doing.
“Angie was so whacked out on dope that she doesn’t recall exactly what she did,” a so-called “insider” tells the Enquirer. “But she believes that it may have involved ‘cutting,’ as well as racy sex.”
Uh-huh.
It’s important to note that the Enquirer, which has an abysmal recent track record with Jolie and Pitt, has absolutely no idea whether any previously unseen raunchy photos or video exist.
Everything in the article is couched in terms like “alleged” and “rumored.”
There’s no explanation for why the supposed sex images from 1999 would suddenly be released now.
And the “$10 million” figure only comes in the very last line of the piece, when the Enquirer source says Pitt is “willing to spend $10 million if he has to. When it comes to Angie and the kids, money is no object.”
And when it comes to printing baseless speculation as an “exclusive,” reality is no object to the magazine.
It’s pretty clear that the Enquirer just wanted an “Angelina Jolie Sex Tape” story, regardless of specifics or facts or evidence.
A source close to the situation tells Gossip Cop the report is 100 percent “false.”
How To Find A Job Quickly
Unemployed graduate, 24, spends his last £500 taking out billboard advert in desperate bid to finally find a job
Adam Pacitti came up with idea while working in arcade during the summer
Hopes campaign will net him a job as a junior producer
Spent six hours a day sending off at least 250 CVs
No one can deny that the job market is bleak for many.
Thousands of unemployed people spend their days tirelessly filling out application forms, composing cover letters, and trying to think of a creative answer to 'what would you say your weaknesses are in the workplace?'
And after unsuccessfully applying for countless positions, Adam Pacitti had had enough - and spent his last £500 on a billboard asking employers to give him a job.
The 24-year-old dreamed up the way of promoting himself, and his talents, three months ago, after sending out his CV for at least 250 different positions.
Adam, who lives with his family on the Isle of Wight, said he wanted to add something extra to his application - and as video CVs are now a popular form of a applying for jobs, decided to go a little bigger.
He said: 'I thought traditional advertising could work to promote it. It's a very striking image and I thought news outlets would be able to cover it easily.'
Now, after creating the website employadam.com, and yesterday posting the billboard and Tweeting the image, the would-be producer has watched his campaign for employment go viral in less than 24 hours.
He said: 'After posting, I had about ten re-Tweets in an hour.
'Then my phone exploded, and now I've had over 7,000 re-Tweets.
'I'm incredibly humbled that people have seen I've thought outside the box, and then shared this with others.'
After graduating this year with a First Class Honours degree in Media Production from the University of Winchester, the student worked in an arcade, filling the two-pence machines and stacking toys.
He said: 'I was grateful to have a job, but it's not something I'd really like to do.
'I came up with the idea for the video and billboard about three months ago, and managed to save up £500 while working.
'I called in favours from friends and asked studios, and made the video, and decided to post the billboard in London, because that's where most of the jobs are.'
Adam said he was forced to come up with the unusual approach after spending six hours a day filling out application forms.
He said: 'It's like a job in itself, it's difficult - you have to tailor your CV to each job, you're often asked to do a video project - and I only had two interviews after sending off my application.
'It can be disheartening applying for so many job and not getting anywhere.
'I have a good degree and relevant work experience, but others have more experience than me, so perhaps I don't look like the most attractive candidate.
'I thought this would be a way of showing my personality and my experience.'
Adam, who says his strengths are production, advertising, good taste of mainstream television and a strong knowledge of social media and advertising, says his dream job would be a junior producer.
He said: 'If I could get that job with an independent production company or broadcaster, I'd be over the moon.'
The creative student says after the campaign he has had some emails from companies, but no concrete of a job offer yet - but is hopeful his campaign will persuade someone to give him a chance.

Aristotle Sex Manual
17th-Century 'Aristotle' Sex Manual Goes Up For Auction
A sex and pregnancy manual from 1680 that was incorrectly attributed to Aristotle is going up for auction this month at Lyon & Turnbull in England.
"Aristotle's Compleat Master-Piece" may have been banned in Britain until the 1960s, according to some sources, though that is uncertain. One thing is for sure: "It was taboo and a lot of people didn't want their name on it," said Lyon & Turnbull book specialist Cathy Marsden, during an interview.
As for why the book was pegged to Aristotle, "we think it was just to kind of raise the profile of the book," Marsden said. Also, there has been some suggestion that bits of the book, though not very much at all, could be attributed to Aristotle's work. Bits also seem to come from the work of 17th-century physician Nicholas Culpeper and 13th-century saint and grand thinker Albertus Magnus.
The book, though taboo, was by no means "The Joy of Sex," the 1972 cookbook-esque writing known for its explicit drawings of sex poses and the like. Images in this "master-piece" show a woman's torso and drawings of hairy children with extra limbs, and according to the Guardian, an image showing a woman's torso opened up to reveal a baby in her womb. But there are no actual explicit images, she said. [The Sex Quiz: Myths, Taboos & Bizarre Facts]
"It kind of explains the approach to marriage and when young people should be getting married and then it goes on to try to explain why children have deformities; they call it monstrous births," Marsden told LiveScience. "They explain how to conceive children and how to conceive male and female children," said Marsden, adding the book describes what type of moon to lie under to conceive a male or female child.
In the book section entitled "Of monsters and monstrous births," the author(s) describe disfigured and hairy babies as "monsters." For instance, in some editions of the book, it reads, "Another monster, representing a hairy child: It was covered with hair like a beast. That which rendered it more frightful was, that its navel was in the place where his nose should stand, and his eyes placed where his mouth should have been, and its mouth was in the chin."
"There is one bit that says a child was born black because the mother was thinking of a black man when she conceived him," Marsden said.
In a section of one edition of the book explaining "what conception is," the author writes, "The first day after the conception she feels a slight quivering or illness running through the whole body; a tickling in the womb, a little pain in the lower parts of the belly." That passage goes on to describe the "giddiness" felt and "pimples in the face" that apparently were thought to occur days after conception.
Another section details "directions for midwives."
The edition being auctioned at Lyon & Turnbull may have been published in 1766, according to The Guardian.
The bidding will start on Jan. 16 at the auction house in Edinburgh at between 300 and 400 British pounds (between $487 and $650). Other items going up for auction the same day include the rare, eight-volume history "A History of the Birds of Europe," by 19th-century ornithologist Henry Dresser, as well as a hand-colored 16th-century map of Africa, Marsden said.
