My angry place...

What is it about men and sentences, anyway? Do they wander around going, "That one! That sentence is in danger of being finished all on its own. I must leap in and act!"

Arrested in Downtown Toronto... Neighbours say "She seemed so quiet"

From jamie_miller: (via sabotabby)

Every now and then the police arrest somebody suspected of some terrible, violent crime, and as a piece of public relations they'll announce all of the horrible books, movies and/or CDs they found in the suspect's house, as if to prove that the suspect is obviously guilty and horrible and monstrous.

So here is my challenge to you. You can either do this from memory or take a moment to look through your book and music collections, and then answer this question:

Name ten books, CDs and/or movies that you own that the police would cite as evidence against you at their press conference.

Hm. Can I name ten? I don't think I'm too radical. But, hey, we're going up against a media machine!

1. The Qu'ran
2. The Weather Underground
3. Hacking: The Art of Exploitation
4. The Black Jacobins
5. The Abu Ghraib Investigations: The Official Reports of the Independent Panel and the Pentagon on the Shocking Prisoner Abuse in Iraq
6. I'm sure that my several books and documentaries by and about Noam Chomsky would be used to show my undying devotion to Hugo Chavez.
7. And let's face it: the story would almost certainly be about how I got in with radical anti-imperialists, so The Shock Doctrine and Bad Samaritans would probably play into that story. While we're at it: Blue Gold and the Vandana Shiva books would also round out the mix.
8. I can't leave V for Vendetta (book and movie!) off the list, can I? And, for that matter, won't my Dexter Blu-Ray discs play a role? "She often expressed her admiration for the series, Dexter, about a serial killer."
9. What'd probably clinch it, though, is some of my (paper) correspondence. I was originally going to be a bit more explicit about that, but I decided to shy away from saying anything more. So that must say something. Google cache, and all.

I have a coupl'a relatively light books on Marxism, but I think they'd be too light. I do own a copy of a book called New World Order and the Rise of the antiChrist. I have no idea where I got that.

Edit: How could I have forgotton Entheogenesis? Or the various decorative skulls in my place? Or Deadly Doses: A Writer's Guide to Poisons? Or the other books in that series?

And I think I even own a copy of GURPS: Cyberpunk.
