This is pretty cool and eye-opening. I wish someone would do this sort of thing with male 6-pack ab models.

They even Photoshopped the woman behind Selena’s arm, because apparently not only do celebrities have to be thin, but they must also only associate with other thin people…

Enrico Francis has been caught

This pisses me off so incredibly much!

This is ridiculous. And disgusting. beautiful people being photoshopped to fit impossible standards AND most of the non-caucasian women are being white washed so they look more “appealing”

this.

SO ANGRY. I can’t find the words to say just exactly what I feel about this…gahhhhhh just no.

Think being a “Gypsy” is fun and cool?

Police descended on a Roma camp today in France to evict its residents in a new crackdown against illegal immigrants.

Men, women and children were carrying out their belongings as they were removed from the camp in Lille, northern France.

In the past year France has shut down many illegal camps full of Roma gypsies which have sprung up around the country.

With an estimated population of about 15,000 Roma in France, and the government seems determined to expel as many as it can.

In August there were similar raids with hundreds of Roma gypsy families being forcibly sent from France back to their countries of origin in Romania and Bulgaria.
Those evicted from camps in France were herded together under the watchful eye of CRS officers (the French equivalent of the riot police) wearing military-style blue outfits and black leather boots, then taken to airports and put on flights to their home countries.

The French are so determined to move on the Roma that they offer them financial incentives.

In addition to covering the cost of the trip home, the French government pays 300 euros (£235) to every expelled Roma adult and 100 euros (£80) for every child.

Reports of Romanian gangs perpetrating organised crime, such as cashpoint fraud, are common in France — as in the rest of Europe — and this only serves to whip-up anti-Roma sentiment.

In total, nearly 1,000 Roma have been deported following at least six raids last summer.

The exact figures are hard to establish because the French authorities are not allowed to define those they have ejected as ‘Roma’, because this would suggest that their actions are potentially racist and therefore illegal under EU law.

Only the vulnerable — pregnant women, the frail and the elderly — are given housing by the French social services.
However, healthy young men have been seen fleeing into nearby woods, or through the streets to avoid being rounded up.

Marine David, mayor in Saint-Priest, admits the French authorities are playing a game of ‘ping-pong’ with the gypsies.

‘We are going round and round in circles,’ she says. ‘We can’t offer them a permanent housing solution, and I know there’s a risk they will just set up another camp. We just don’t have the means to deal with this kind of situation.’

This game of human ‘ping-pong’ began under the previous president, Nicolas Sarkozy, who ordered the ejection of around 9,000 gypsies, only for many of them to return. He introduced the deportation crackdown in 2010 after linking the Roma community to begging, prostitution and petty street crime.

Despite promising tolerance and humanitarian assistance if elected, Sarkozy’s successor, Socialist President Francois Hollande also approved the eviction programme after he and interior minister Manuel Valls said the camps were adversely affecting the lives of the French working class living near to them.

Local councils’ court orders to destroy camps are all approved by the national government.

i rarely reblog news/political stuff, but as a european with a lot of american followers i want you to see this. roma are treated absolutely horribly here, i’ve seen it throughout my childhood in hungary and poland (my countries of origin) and now, every day, here in sweden (where i grew up and still live). so pleasepleaseplease stop using the word “g-psy” — which i have no right to use, as it is a racial slur — to describe anything hippie, wanderlusty or flowerchildly. there are plenty of words to use for those things without being casually racist. my people and my immediate relatives have suffered much persecution in europe and i have solidarity with others that suffer the same or worse. thanks x

For my followers with the g*psy slur in their urls. Kindly get informed.

NY Senate Passes Bill That Makes “Annoying” Police A Felony

The New York State Senate passed a controversial bill on Wednesday that aims to classify ‘aggravated harassment of a police officer’ as a crime, but will it give the authorities the green light for strong-arm tactics if passed?

Sponsored by Senator Joe Griffo, Bill S.2402 would make it a felony to “harass, annoy, or threaten a police officer while on duty.”

“Our system of laws is established to protect the foundations of our society,” Senator Griffo said. “Police officers who risk their lives every day in our cities and on our highways deserve every possible protection, and those who treat them with disrespect, harass them and create situations that can lead to injuries deserve to pay a price for their actions.”

Griffo said that New York police require extra safeguards because “too many people in our society have lost the respect they need to have for a police officer…. We need to make it very clear that when a police officer is performing his duty, every citizen needs to comply and that refusal to comply carries a penalty.”

The bill, which will now move to the State Assembly, would make it a crime for a person to make any type of physical action aimed at intimidating a police officer. Harassment of a police officer would be recognized as a Class E Felony, punishable by up to four years in prison.

NY yall needa stand up man don’t tolerate this

maybe you shouldn’t fucking harass or threaten a police officer. the person that keeps your community safe.

wow. imagine being part of a community that you really believe the police is around to keep safe. imagine having that much privilege.

Amazing 3D Latte Art by Kazuki Yamoto

You don‘t even have to love coffee in order to appreciate these super creative latte foam artworks by Japanese artist Kazuki Yamamoto. And we‘re not talking about the little smiley faces or flat palm tree patterns: this 26-year old latte artist, based in Osaka, creates actual 3D foam sculptures in the coffee mugs of the Cafe10g visitors. This thinking outside the box – or, rather – outside the cup – even gave Kazuki the idea to make the coffee foam climb out of one cup and reach for another. That way you might be served with a cup of coffee where a cat is trying to get into another one next to it, where tiny fish are swimming.

Cool coffee foam art by Kazuki Yamamoto
Besides these meticulous 3D sculptures, Kazuki also does some amazing flat latte art. His subjects vary from manga and video game characters to portraits of such people as Albert Einstein or John Lennon. Kazuki says his dream is to open up a his own cafe in Tokyo one day. For more 3d latte art, be sure to follow him on twitter.

fuck latte art amazes me
