Omg I’m having way too much fun watching the avengers in French…my only entertainment right now since I have cleaning to do and our internet has been down for a number of days and I’m too lazy to fix it right now (been doing pixel art so I’ve been busy)

Ahhhhh Fury sounds too suave!

Jordan Sheard convicted for murdering a gay teen with Asperger’s syndrome by setting him on fire at boy’s birthday party

queerability:

A man who killed a teenager by setting him on fire during his 18th birthday party has been convicted of manslaughter, receiving a three-and-a-half-year sentence.

Jordan Sheard, age 20, set Steven Simpson on fire during his 18th birthday party last summer.

The court heard how Mr Simpson was bullied at his celebration and tanning oil was poured over him by other people at the party before he was set aflame.

Other partygoers chanted “light it, light it, see what it does” as the oil was poured over Simpson and a partygoer held up a cigarette lighter.

Sheard flicked the lighter and Steven went up in flames with Sheard and others running away instead of helping him.

A judge heard how he was told to take off his shirt and encouraged to dance around before having obscenities scrawled on his body.

Reportedly paramedics arrived at the home where Mr Simpson lived alone, they found homophobic messages scrawled on his body, including the words “gay boy” written on his forehead in pen and “I love dick” scrawled across his chest, the court heard.

Simpson had Asperger’s syndrome, a speech impairment and epilepsy.

Sheard initially tried to blame Steven for setting himself on fire, but eventually confessed.

A number of local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights advocates said they believed Sheard’s prison term to be too lenient, but prosecuting attorney Tim Warburton nonetheless told The Star that the sentence was “within the range of what would be expected had it been considered a hate crime,” and that it would not be appealed.

“This was a cruel case of bullying based on Steven’s sexuality and disability,” Warburton is quoted as saying. “While we accept Jordan did not intend to kill Steven, his actions did lead to his death.”

Meanwhile, Sheard’s attorney said his client had been “deeply and significantly affected by what he has done and the tragic consequences that ensued,” which describing Simpson’s death as a “stupid prank that went wrong in a bad way,” the Daily Mail noted.

Bull. Shit.

unprofessionally:

I’ve grown into a habit of staying to watch the credits and stay in theaters until the very end—when the projector is turned off. I was happy I stayed until the bitter end of Wreck It Ralph, and discovered a half-glitched Disney logo in the final seconds of the reel. I recognized it as the split-screen glitch from Pacman, a very genuine homage to the games the movie was modeled after.

Here’s some background on the glitch for those that don’t know, courtesy of Wikipedia:

Pac-Man was designed to have no ending – as long as the player keeps at least one life, he or she should be able to play the game indefinitely. However, a bug keeps this from happening: Normally, no more than seven fruit are displayed at the bottom of the screen at any given time. But when the internal level counter, which is stored in a single byte (8 bits), reaches 255, the subroutine that draws the fruit erroneously “rolls over” this number to zero, causing it to try to draw 256 fruit instead of the usual seven. This corrupts the bottom of the screen and the entire right half of the maze with seemingly random symbols, making it impossible to eat enough dots to beat the level. Because this effectively ends the game, this “split-screen” level is often referred to as the “kill screen”. Emulators and code analysis have revealed what would happen should this 255th level be cleared: The fruit and intermissions would restart at level 1 conditions, but the enemies would retain their higher speed and invulnerability to power pellets from the higher stages.

A very nice touch.
