Why do I like Park Chan-wook’s Korean film, Oldboy, you ask? Why, the reason I like Oldboy is because I long to punish my enemies. Not only do I want to tit their tat, but also to utterly annihilate their entire existence while ruining everything they love. If they love nothing? Then I want to give them love only to violate it while blossoming. My enemies should not only suffer physically, but should also endure every possible psychological torture procurable. I want my adversaries to be at the peak of their hopes before kicking down their sandcastles. Before you indignantly judge me, you must remember that when I say “I”, you know that it means “we”: for beneath all of our politeness, beneath all of our reservations, linger spiteful, vindictive thoughts. Speak for myself? No, I will speak for all of us.

Elucidating this idea, Russell Roberts, the director of Vancouver, Canada’s Shakespearian Bard on the Beach play, Titus Andronicus, defends the choice of using gratuitous fake blood instead of “arty-farty” red ribbons:

“We’re very inhuman, we human beings. I mean, look what’s happening in Afghanistan, in Baghdad, in Somalia. It has happened since day one. This is no more violent or horrible than what’s going on around the globe right now. Titus has been catalogued as a problem play, but I think that the problem—if there’s a problem—is that we don’t like to have that mirror put up to us.”

Animal Abuser, Catsaw, Kills Cats Claiming Animal Advocacy.

Posted by Knigel

WARNING!!! -- VERY GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING MATERIAL!!!
(Graphic pictures of animal abuse and letters of the abuser at the bottom of the post)

My Korean friend has filled me in on some recent disturbing news. Apparently, a Korean gentleman under the pseudonym, Catsaw, has been inspired by the gore flick, SAW. From what my friend says, Catsaw has been torturing cats and spreading riddles to netizens from Internet cafés.

I have not seen any of it in English yet; therefore, I believe that this news is worth mentioning. Before continuing, I understand that some people crave attention by breaking social taboos. This is a difficult matter when voluntarily spreading information that helps them in their cause. At the same time, I do not see that as a valid cause for self-censorship. While writing about someone's misdeeds may give them the very attention that they desire, the information may prove useful for other purposes. I hope that through debate, Catsaw and people with similar ideas can understand the mistakes of their reasoning. Through logical discourse, people may realise that what seemed like an intelligent and rational idea at first was not a worthwhile thought to put into action. Logic reveals irrational justifications for malformed deeds.

Underneath the images, Catsaw, the suspected animal abuser has written riddles in a similar format as Jigsaw from the movie series SAW. The riddles threaten that if people do not follow the requests of the letter, Catsaw will kill the feline hostages. Catsaw sets the stage by mentioning how people buy cats and then throw them away when the cat becomes boring.
