Alpha Blondy Posted May 9, 2014 Findus to rebrand Chicken Kiev as ‘Chicken Moscow’ Chicken Kiev becomes Chicken Moscow Ready-meal giants Findus have responded to the escalation in pro-Russian extremism in the Ukraine by rebranding their Chicken Kiev range to Chicken Moscow, according to reports. The ready-meal giants stress the move – which has infuriated native Ukrainians – demonstrates the kind of forward thinking sure to broaden the appeal of one of their staple offerings. Findus Marketing Director, Simon Williams, told us that the change represented good business sense. He explained, “Rather than paying lip service to the ongoing crisis in the area by removing Chicken Kiev from the shelves and waiting for its conclusion, we decided to take our lead from Nato and the UN.” “The measures they have taken appear to indicate their complete acceptance of the inevitable reconstruction of the USSR.” “And what better way to commemorate such a laisez-faire approach to the disbanding of a sovereign nation, than by disbanding our association with its most widely recognised national dish.” “Someone from Vladimir Putin’s regime also told us that the chickens themselves want to be Russian, so what more evidence do you need?” “Plus we always felt Chicken Kiev was a rubbish name anyway.” Chicken Kiew rebranding Ukrainians angry at the company’s stance have promised to strike back against the pro-Russian move with a name change of their own. “We will fight hard against both the oppression from Findus and Russia by aligning ourselves with another set of oppressed peoples who fought hard against a similar breach of international law.” “Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to announce the launch of ‘Chechen Kiev.” LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL that's some funny shit, y'all. http://newsthump.com/2014/05/01/findus-to-rebrand-chicken-kiev-as-chicken-moscow/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha Blondy Posted May 14, 2014 Chiwetel Ejiofor and Gwyneth Paltrow are to star in a remark of one of the greatest and my top 5 films of all time - The Secret In Their Eyes. the original was an excellent film, that dealt with a lot of themes, the ending was shocking to say the least, where retribution was taken to a whole new level. remake again eh?..... Hollywood has a dearth of original ideas these days. they screwed up great South Korean classics like infernal affairs and Oldboy and now this. this is offensive.

Alpha Blondy Posted May 28, 2014 Irish are 'the forgotten white slaves’ claims expert The history of the African slave trade into the Americas is well-documented as well as largely taught in American schools today. However, as John Martin of the Montreal-based Center for Research and Globalization points out in his article ‘The Irish Slave Trade - The Forgotten ‘White’ Slaves,’ it was not just Africans who were traded as slaves. Indeed, the Irish have a gruesome history of being traded as slaves as well, and subjected to similar and sometimes worse treatment than their African contemporaries of the time. Strangely though, the history of Irish and ‘white’ slavery is by and large ignored in the American educational curriculum today. In his article, John Martin writes “The Irish slave trade began when James II sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70 percent of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.” “Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.” Martin writes how at the hands of the British, the Irish population plummeted due to the slave trade of the 17th century. “During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, [Oliver] Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.” Martin goes on to explain that for some reason, the Irish slaves are often remembered as ‘indentured servants.’ However, in most cases during the 17th and 18th centuries, they were no more than “human cattle.” “...the African slave trade was just beginning during this same period,” writes Martin. “It is well recorded that African slaves, not tainted with the stain of the hated Catholic theology and more expensive to purchase, were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts.” During the late 1600s, writes Martin, African slaves were far more expensive than their Irish counterparts - Africans would sell for around 50 sterling while Irish were often no more than 5 sterling. The Irish were further exploited when the British began to “breed” Irish women - or girls, sometimes as young as 12 - with African males. “These new “mulatto” slaves brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase new African slaves. This practice of breeding Irish females with African men went on for several decades and was so widespread that, in 1681, legislation was passed “forbidding the practice of mating Irish slave women to African slave men for the purpose of producing slaves for sale.” In short, it was stopped only because it interfered with the profits of a large slave transport company. Martin concludes, “In 1839, Britain finally decided on it’s own to end its participation in Satan’s highway to hell and stopped transporting slaves. While their decision did not stop pirates from doing what they desired, the new law slowly concluded THIS chapter of nightmarish Irish misery.” Click here to read John Martin’s article ‘The Irish Slave Trade – The Forgotten “White” Slaves’ in its entirety. - http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-irish-slave-trade-the-forgotten-white-slaves/31076 ---- http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/irish-the-forgotten-white-slaves-says-expert-john-martin-188645531-237793261.html --- interesting read.
