Been reading about this all day and finally a good video pops up.  Thanks internet.

Fudgepacking suicide bombers have resorted to turdcutter storage for their explosives and detonators, not only to avoid detection, but because there will be shit everywhere and I’m sure they think that’s hilarious.  From CBS:

Inside a Saudi palace, the scene was the bloody aftermath of an al Qaeda attack in August aimed at killing Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef, head of Saudi Arabia’s counter terrorism operations.

To get his bomb into this room, Abdullah Asieri, one of Saudi Arabia’s most wanted men, avoided detection by two sets of airport security including metal detectors and palace security. He spent 30 hours in the close company of the prince’s own secret service agents – all without anyone suspecting a thing.

How did he do it?

Taking a trick from the narcotics trade – which has long smuggled drugs in body cavities – Asieri had a pound of high explosives, plus a detonator inserted in his rectum.

This was a meticulously planned operation with al Qaeda once again producing something new: this time, the Trojan bomber.

The blast left the prince lightly wounded – a failure as an assassination, but as an exercise in defeating security, it was perfect.

If you want to read the ridiculously asinine version of the CBS article, complete with ass jokes and moronic puns…the New York Post version is for you.

Found this over at Holdiday Matinee this morning…and it’s something to definitely check out if you’re in the San Diego area October 2 – November 1.  From Patrick Ballesteros’s blog:

Next Friday in San Diego I will be having my first solo show at Subtext Gallery. The show is called Cereal Killer and it is based off of the piece below. The show will contain 7 totally new pieces, original drawings and even the sketchbook I used solely for this show. I will also have prints on sale at the reception and will be signing them for those interested.

Dope concept and seems to be some solid execution.  Don your hipster-iest apparel and check it out.

I can’t decide which part is funnier…the guy actually taking himself and this workout seriously, or the extremely underqualified assistants.

Thanks to Senor Prout aka Joshua Jackson for the tip…and for The Mighty Ducks…that movie was awesome.
