Michael Jackson Death Ruled a Homicide (video)

Yamandú Roos - Photographer

Yamandú "Mandu" Roos is an Amsterdam-based still photographer who got his start around the age of 17 via an internship at El Pais, a daily paper in Montevideo, Uruguay. Nowadays he drives around Europe in his red Peugeot 205 listening to Common and shoots anything/one that looks interesting. He also does commercial photography for folks like Nike.

Simple, clean images. I'll let them talk.





Below is a video of Yamandú shooting for a Nike Women campaign.


Below is a video of Yamandú driving/shooting through Berlin and into Poland.

Michael Vick is to Amateur, what PETA is to Pro

SCORE:

PETA - 21,339









Michael Vick - 7 (approximately)

But Michael Vick is still having a pretty good week.



According to the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), PETA is not too big on adoption.

"According to public records from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA killed 2,124 pets last year and placed only seven in adoptive homes. Since 1998, a total of 21,339 dogs and cats have died at the hands of PETA workers.

Despite having a $32 million budget, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter."


Seven adoptions! Hey, that was Mike's football number (and approximately how many dogs he admitted to killing)! At least PETA's not doing anything crazy like wearing fur or testing diabetes medication on animals.

Read the whole story (and see the actual documents) here.

In related news:
On Aug. 13, PETA signed a two-year deal with every NFl team that has an animal as its mascot (except the Eagles) reportedly worth $1.6 million with an option for a second year for $5.2 million with $3 million in incentives.

RIP Baatin of Slum Village


I was just looking at an article yesterday about how Slum Village was getting back together. I don't have any details about what happened yet. I think SV is one of the best to ever do it (with or without Dilla). We lost a good one. Rest in Peace and power, sir.

Baatin is probably on his way to Dilla's villa in Heaven with a DJ bag full of vynil for Dilla to sample. You know what love is.

Thought you knew Baatin was polygamous
