DOS & DON'TS

I hate all these boring remakes of Friday 13th and Halloween. What if they remade Hellraiser, Conan The Destroyer and Cruising into the same movie? That would fucking rule! Comments/Enlarge | See all


Here’s an argument for letting your kids do drugs at the earliest age possible. When people get into drugs too late in life they amalgamate all the things the desperate teenage drug addicts who runaway to the big city at 15 do; complete with the old "getting an STD on their first week in the big city from the Polish waiter" chestnut.

FLIPPED-OUT PRISON - PART 3

It's a Hard-Knock Life in Filipino Jails (Kinda)



Most of these ladies are in the CPDRC for running shabu, a methlike stimulant that’s by far the most popular drug in the Philippines. It was described to me as “the poor man’s crack,” and it turns chilled-out locals into machete-wielding lunatics.


The nature of the females is disciplined and submissive. That’s why they not only sew prison uniforms but also carry out “livelihood projects,” such as making sequined bags.


This is Lindsay Amar. Her bunk is incredibly tricked out, even by house-proud Filipino standards. She has to-do lists, sunglasses, and baby powder within reach, as well as a decorated image of the patron saint of the Philippines and paintings of flowers and butterflies done on styrofoam dinner plates. The vertical straps allow her to rig up a privacy curtain.


The lesbian inmates are kept segregated in the next cell over from the straight women. All they do all day is have pillow fights in their underwear. (We wish.)


This is Byron F. Garcia with his bitches. The CPDRC gang tattoo is his name—no joke. All of these women have the official “Byron F. Garcia” insignia, which consists of a sword as the scales of justice and a red rose with thorns. Leo, the mayor de mayoris and ex-cop, has the same tattoo on his chest. Garcia runs the jail like his personal S&M dungeon, and he doesn’t care if you know it. Why should he? His sister is governor and his dad is a senator. You can’t touch him.


When not sitting around waiting, the prisoners do mass exercises in the yard. All 900 of them. Garcia had them do the “YMCA” for my amusement. It was incredibly depressing. He posted the video on YouTube under his real name.
