5 Year Old Gets Quite A Surprise

A five year old patient from Seattle who underwent a liver transplant received a very special surprise. The five year old's father reached out to Reddit to help him contact the video game company Bungie to make his son feel better. Stating that his son had a liver transplant and that he loved 'Halo', the dad was successful in contacting Bungie. On January 6th, the boy received a very special surprise. The boy received a Get Well Soon card signed by the employees at Bungie, a replica 'Carter' helmet from 'Halo: Reach', and some T-shirts. In response to the game's Mature rating, the father explained how he is not a typical 'Halo' fan. The boy would only play parts of the campaign with his father and would do a local multiplayer if the mother joined also, "The Spartan storyline really gets his imagination going, it's wonderful". The boy would rather duke it out with his action figures instead of other people. Looks like Halo went above and beyond the call of duty.

YouTube Video Shocks Many

A YouTube video was uploaded January 2 that actually didn't involve a dancing Korean, a flying pop-tart cat that's pooping rainbows, or some indecisive girl who wasn't sure if she wanted you to call her. This video is of a Syrian execution and *SPOILER ALERT* is very graphic. This video shows a Assad Militia holding a group of men hostage in a corner. The militia is holding assault rifles and the captives have their shirts over their heads to cover their eyes. The militia releases a few of the men and but still holds a few captive. Two militia members whips out knives and starts slicing the remaining men's back. A victim falls to the ground and the militia starts violently slicing and stabbing the others man's back and sides and he then falls to the ground. The third man has a brick thrown at his head and collapses. They are then covered in rubble and the militia says then says, "For God's eyes and your Lord, O Bashar".

2013: The Year We Have "Zuck'd Up"

2013 is almost upon us and we can definitely say that the United States has "Zuck'd Up", or at least Mark Zuckerberg thinks so when he will copyright the term "Zuck'd Up". Bravo, the popular TV channel, will create a new show known as The Real Housewives of Langley, a show including everyone involved in the General Patraeus scandal. It will get pulled after four episodes for being "too hot for cable". Honey Boo Boo will become an US ambassador in Israel, where she will fix every problem with Cheese-balls and Go Go Juice. NSYNC will make a comeback without Justin Timberlake, mainly because he has forgotten anything that had to do with them. Jesus will present himself to Tim Tebow and tell him that he is in fact a Packers fan. Mitt Romney will gain 400 pounds after keeping his emotions from the election bottled up inside. He will lose most of it with Paul Ryan's "Total Frat Bod" workout. On the same note, Paul Ryan's abs will be named 2013's Sexiest Man Alive, making it the first body part instead of man to win.

Man Charged With Murder Six Months Later

Devon Epps was charged with murder when he was evicted from his home. But this charge is not the same as some would think. Epps murdered his girlfriend, Veronica Jones, six months ago and she has been missing ever since. When he was evicted authorities found the body stashed in the bathtub. But as grisly as it sounds, it gets even worse. The body was badly decayed and falling apart. The body was bludgeoned with a medal pedestal, raped, and stabbed 32 times. According to authorities the face was beaten beyond recognition. "It's morbid, disgusting," said Jones' brother "I'm horrified by the experience my sister went through." 

Tumblr Falls Victim to Internet Trolls

In yet another attack on various websites, Tumblr fell victim to Internet Trolls. These trolls, known as the GNAA, attacked their unsuspecting victims last Monday. The victims of this racist, unforgiving assault include the Verge, Reuters, and 8,600 other Tumblr accounts. It was found offensive on many levels, calling people "F*****g Worthless, Contrived, Bourgeoisie, Self-Congratulating, and Decadent B******t." Also telling them to "Drink Bleach and Die." As most may know this so called "threat" comes from the recent bullying/suicide incident involving Amanda Todd. This was sent out to Tumblr users using a JavaScript exploit. If the message was deleted, so was your account. This is not new to the internet, an attack on this scale could be dated back to 2008 when a anonymous troll trolled Oprah Winfrey on National Television using the show's online forum. So all-in-all, successful troll is successful.
