If you’re going to rehash a tried-and-true plot device, you should do it well. That device, the viral-outbreak that causes horrific craziness as a substitution for the dead rising from the grave, is actually very well executed in director David Morlet’s Mutants (that he wrote as well) — at least for most of it. It’s an uneven piece, but still a worthwhile one. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: ‘Mutants’

Breast cancer foundation too good for money raised via breasts
Perhaps the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation knows something we don’t know.
That’s the only reason that would honestly, morally, ethically and logically make sense for why they won’t accept the money raised by the Crazy Girls at the Riviera. The Crazy Girls recently celebrated the big 2-6. In response to such a grand birthday, they decided to donate a portion of the ticket sales from their anniversary show to Susan G. Komen.
This is probably where I should point out that the Crazy Girls is a topless dance show.
That said, some of their dancers have experienced breast cancer, and when breasts are what sell your job, you get concerned about them. Regardless, Susan G. Komen refuses to accept their donation under the grounds that:
Southern Nevada’s Executive Director Stephanie Kirby said it’s Susan G. Komen’s national policy to not partner with certain businesses, especially ones that may sexualize women.
Of course, it could also mean that they know that breast cancer research is almost all done. But that would be silly, apparently like the phrase “beggars can’t be choosers.”
Jellyfish: The nuclear reactor’s nemesis
The animals are stepping up their game on our electricity systems. They’re going beyond their usual suicide missions on transformers that cause blackouts. It’s far worse than that, now.
A swarm of jellyfish has caused a Swedish nuclear plant to shut down. That’s right, they took an entire reactor offline, and those things can barely even swim, have you seen them? Operators of the Oskarshamn nuclear plant had to shut down one of their reactors because the sneaky jellies got into the pipes that bring in cool water from the sea and clogged it. They literally could have caused it to melt down if the reactor had been left unchecked.
What’s worse is that we now may have radioactive jellyfish out there, gaining untold powers, maybe even superintelligence, or the ability to swim.
