Video Game Fanatic Hunts Down and Stabs Rival Player

A French video game fanatic hunted down and stabbed a rival player who had killed his character in an online war game.

Julien Barreaux, 20, told police he wanted to see his rival player "wiped out" after his character in the game Counter-Strike died in a virtual knife fight.

A court in Cambrai, northern France, heard how Barreaux plotted revenge for seven months after the online "killing" last November.

He then located the victim, named only as Mikhael, several miles from his home.

When the man answered the door, he plunged a kitchen knife into his chest, missing his heart by less than an inch, a police officer told the court.

He added: "Barreaux was arrested within the hour and told us he had wanted to see his rival wiped out for killing off his character."

Barreaux was jailed for two years for causing grievous bodily harm, and ordered to undergo psychiatric tests and anger management therapy.

Judge Alexiane Potel told him: "You are a menace to society. I am frankly terrified of the disproportionate reaction you could have if someone looked at you the wrong way in the street."

See the way new technology affects people's behavior and attitude. Obsession can really lead to distortion, am I right?

Youth '10

Malaysia is having another largest youth festival and that is called Youth '10. Happens three days only from May 28th-30th May 2010. Since today's Friday and the first day of this event was amazing. So lemme tell you a little bit about what was going on at there.

So at the Discovery Festival, there were like a lot of creative games and art exhibitions/booths going on and one of my favorite booths was the Juxta booth. Known as Azeem, ex-UiTM student who used to study architecture three years ago is in love with art and at his booth, there were so many pastel and oil drawings from hard boards to stones and also a very classic walkman.

Italy Launches Foetus in Cocktail Glass Poster to Stop Women from Drinking

We are doing Advertising for this semester, right? I just want to show you guys a new campaign being launched in Italy. For me, it's kinda weird or maybe even disgusting for some. The advertising campaign carries the message "When mom drinks, baby drinks too". Basically it is a health warning by the government to prevent women from drinking. Have a look at this poster:

It actually shows a foetus in a curled up position in the bottom of the glass. Is this simply creativity or what? I find it kinda lack of humanism though, to put a foetus in that position. But I am not the only one saying that because the governor of the Veneto region ( where the campaign is being carried out ) critics the poster by saying that it portrays a distorted image of women and in particularly expecting mother. And seriously, this poster can just scares people off. But at least, it can make people to look at it and actually response to it. So, is it a good ad, or a bad ad?

You can read more about this here.

Being Fat is Illegal in Japan

Have you guys seen this news yet? Basically it's about being fat is illegal in Japan. Take a look at the video to know more.




I personally think it's a good thing for the Japanese because, look at their meal! It's possible for them to cut down weight; but if it's for the Malaysian's case, I don't think everyone would be happy about that. Why? Look at our meal! Cheers! :D
