This Indian woman is breastfeeding an orphaned calf, because as she sees it, there's no difference between the calf and an infant, and she thinks the gods will be pleased. And I guess if she ends up with a healthy cow, then who's to argue with her? Though I have fed calves in my day and let them suck on my fingers, and let me tell ya, they have powerful suction! This woman must have boobs of steel!

Like a lot of people, I had a rather rose-tinted view of Castro and the Cuban revolution growing up. Until, that is, I read Before Night Falls, the powerful and harrowing autobiography of Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas. (It was later made into a movie starring Javier Bardem - and Johnny Depp in drag). Quite apart from the horrific treatment of homosexuals and people living with HIV/AIDS, the book also brings home the bald fact that Cuba is essentially an open prison.
However, in recent years, thanks mostly to the efforts of Castro's neice Mariela Castro, Cuba has made great advances in it's treatment of the LGBT community. And now, in an interview with a Mexican journalist, Castro himself has acknowledged that post-revolutionary Cuba's persecution of gay people was "a great injustice", and that "If anyone is responsible, it is me".
I'll at least give him points for taking responsibility. That's certainly refreshing!
Read the full interview HERE. It's a translation, and reads a little oddly.
"Yes", he remembers, "it was a time of great injustice. A great injustice!", he repeats emphatically, "no matter who did it. If it was us who did it, us... I am trying to define my responsibility in all that because, of course, I don't hold that type of prejudice."
It is known that among his oldest of friends, there are homosexuals.
But then, how was that hatred against the 'different' established?
He believes all was the result of a spontaneous reaction in the revolutionary ranks, which came from tradition.
"In earlier Cuba blacks were not the only ones discriminated against; women were also discriminated and, of course, homosexuals...
"Yes, yes. But not in the Cuba of the 'new' morality, the pride of those revolutionaries on the inside and on the outside..."
Who, then, was directly or indirectly responsible for not putting a stop to what was happening in Cuban society? The Party? Because the Communist Party of Cuba still does not 'explicitly' ban discrimination based on sexual orientation.
"No" says Fidel, "If someone is responsible, it's me..."

Serbian artist Marina Abramovic, who's recent retrospective in MoMa in New York was a critical and popular smash (previously), made a multi-channel video installation called Balkan Erotic Epic in 2005.
The exhibition comprises several video projections, live action and some animation, which explore how sexuality and the human body were employed in Balkan pagan traditions and culture. Serbian folklore used eroticism and sexuality to address everyday issues. For example, if it rained too much the women of the village would run into the fields and lift their skirts in an attempt to scare the gods and end the rain, or men would masturbate into a field to increase crop yield. Along with actors, Abramovic dressed in traditional folk costumes and reenacted ancient rituals.
The videos are definitely not safe for work (lots of cock and vagina and masturbation) but they have a beauty about them.
Watch them HERE.

A Mexican body builder is not happy with his placing in the competition. Not happy at all. So much so that he leaps off the stage in his Speedos and starts beating the crap out of one of the judges. Mayhem and brawling with oil slicked muscles and chairs as weapons ensues (which some of you will get off on, you perverts)

If this clip of four Filipinos' hysterical and hilarious reaction to their beloved contestant in the Miss Universe pageant successfully making the cut into the final fifteen, doesn't warm your cold cynical heart, then you are beyond help.
Miss Philippines Maria Venus Raj, who eventually came fifth overall, was the last contestant to be announced as having made it through to the final fifteen, which meant that the agony was drawn out for her four biggest fans. Don't be tempted to skip ahead - you need to live the agony and the ecstasy with them (and anyway, it's edited down)
They are also delighted when Miss Ireland makes the cut for some reason. I wonder who she was and how she did? Yes, I know I could Google it, but I don't wonder that much...

Toronto is not known for the kind of extreme Christian shenanigans that other parts of North America are known for, so when a group from an Evangelical church took to praying the gay away outside the house of a local gay couple, other residents of the street confronted them and shooed them away. Reportedly the group had already succeeded in driving a lesbian couple from the area. At one point one of the Evangelicals says, "We've been doing this seven years", to which one of the residents replies, "And we've hated it the whole time!".

Forty people were injured when a bull leapt into the crowd at a bullfight in northern Spain and ran amok. No word on the poor bull but I assume he didn't escape without injury.

An Australian political comedy show parodies the Old Spice ad while commenting on the refusal of both of Australia's main political parties to back gay marriage.
