Le PSYCHO du mois. (Charles Manson)

NOUVELLE RUBRIQUE PSYCHO, CANNIBALE, MEURTIRER &Co. Parce qu'au fond, on est tous fascinés par ces gens là.



C'est au milieu des années 1960 que Manson développe une fascination pour les Beatles.

C'est alors, à l'âge de 32 ans qu'il fonde « La Famille », une communauté hippie, dont il devient le leader charismatique, une image christique que les membres adorent.En associant des extraits de la SAINTE BIBLE avec des textes de l'«L'ALBUM BLANC» des Beatles, il conçoit une étrange prophétie selon laquelle les Noirs allaient bientôt dominer les Blancs et se tourneraient vers lui pour diriger leur nouvelle nation. Afin de précipiter cette prophétie, il demande en août 1969 à quelques-uns des membres de sa communauté d'aller commettre des assassinats dans les beaux quartiers dE L.A meurtres dont il voulait ensuite faire accuser les Noirs.

En 1969, le 9 Aout, des membres de "La Famille" pénètrent dans la maison de mme Tate, femme de ROMAN POLANSKY, alors enceinte de 8 mois, et la tuent, ainsi que quatre autres personnes (Abigail Folger, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski et Steven Parent). L'une des adeptes, Linda Kasabian, qui était surveillée, obtient plus tard une immunité juridique pour avoir apporté des preuves contre le groupe.


Charles Manson n'était pas présent sur les lieux des meurtres, mais il est déclaré coupable le 25 janvier 71 pour avoir dirigé les assassins et condamné le 29 mars à la peine de mort. Cette sentence est pour finir commuée en une peine de prison à vie.

Dès le premier jour de son procès, il arbore un « X » incisé sur le front avec un couteau, ses « disciples » l'imiteront.

3 films,3 téléfilm et des dizaine de documentaires complètent ce post. A télécharger sur le net !

Et donc une spéciale pour Célia Bing et Julie Machin, inspiratrices de cette rubrique grâce au génialissime jeu du post-it (sur le front) pendant le brunch du dimanche, Jack Daniel's à l'appuis.

J'aurais été Charles Manson pendant au moins 30minutes.

Se la raconter



...means "acting up" in french. i like this expression. anyway, to "me la raconter" a lil' here, go check the following – way too long – interview with PYRO on our favorite monster-blog, maintained by julie machin! She's a friend of the carnet family (which might seem smaller than it really is) who's organising events, writing articles and blogs, or sometimes just hustling to stay alive. LOVE!

your voice counts!



as i learned and – unfortunately – experienced today is as horrifying as the guy that opens lift doors in the haunted house in europa-park:
ikea left their futura and their century schoolbook for VERDANA!
but democratic internet wouldn't be democratic if their wouldn't be a community fighting against the misused and abused system and SCREEN font. on this page, you can go, copy and then tell your personal view to ikea directly!
the revolution will be googlized!
Thank you ikea, for still believing in the value of good design and for listening to us

sir eat-a-lot


full-length clip here!

99 cents vs. giant butt


the kids meal commercial for a big american fast food company that recruted mr sir mix-a-lot to remix his 90ies booty-bass banger "baby got back" into a spongebob version. and even if they're rapping about spongebob's butt, people discuss about the abuse of selling burgers to kids through sexism! damn, america, you're so right!
(by-the way, i think their target group doesn't really remember the 90ies...)
