Ana joins Cenk for SCS. The guy that was kicked in the head by a train conductor has begun to cash in on his infamy. He could make up to $250K from the endorsements and ads. Talk about other misfortunes caught on camera that led to a big payday for the victim. A man created powdered alcohol to make it easier to take your alcoholic beverage with you anywhere, but the Alcohol regulators have refused to approve it. Cenk speculates that the big alcohol companies are throwing their weight around. A small town in Spain is named “Kill the Jews” after translation and they’ve just decided to think about a name change. A Swiss artist did performance art in Germany where she drops previously inserted paint-filled eggs on a canvas from her vagina. Ana goes off on how annoyed she is when women use salacious means to sell their art. Ali, TYT’s resident artist weighs in on the art value of her performance art. Another artist inserted a ball of wool in her vagina and over a month’s time, knitted it as it came out, showing each level of her menstrual cycle. Cuba has run out of condoms, and are repackaging expired condoms and selling them for extremely high prices. History shows that back in the 1600s, women were more sexual than men. A study went about explaining why this changed to the way we perceive men and women’s sexual drives today. An Australian woman was texting and driving, leading her to hit a cyclist, which almost left him paralyzed. Instead of feeling any remorse for her accident, she voiced how annoyed she was that the cyclist hit her, and her pretty expensive car was damaged. Her license was suspended, and after it was reinstated, she posted on the internet, bragging about getting it back. When the judge saw this, her license was suspended for another 9 months.

Castrillo de Matajudíos could change its name to The Redskins.
re powdered alcohol. it could also possibly be used to make a bomb?
Is Cenk right on Christians not charging usury?
I know it was verboten in Islamic countries, but I’m almost certain it was a common practice in medieval Europe.
I’m confused, how are they going to be in Toronto until May 2nd? What about May 1st at the Troubadour?
Don’t think Cenk will be at all 3 screenings.
I’m afraid Ana is wrong about other less restrictive countries not having a binge culture. We have the same problem in the UK and Ireland, where we don’t have restrictive laws and drinking is legal at 18yrs. The problem seems and Anglo-Saxon one that we exported to our various colonies. Think of it as George III’s revenge.
Sorry guys, but you’re just wrong when it comes to drinking in America. Americans drink far LESS than Europeans, despite the far looser alcohol laws. Please educate yourselves on this issue, as it’s come up before.
Still love you guys!
The world Cenk is looking for is impenitence.
You can’t fart out your vajin, you queef it out.
My thoughts on the egg plop painting are that if what that artist was really going for was to make the audience intensely uncomfortable and confused and slightly turned on and slightly disgusted, then she is a fucking master because that is exactly what it does.
Seriously, i’m not joking here. That doesn’t exactly match what she SAID she was doing, but one way of interpreting art is to evoke a feeling, and if what she was attempting to do was make all the common people disturbed, turned on and disgusted, while also making all of the art aficionados intensely conflicted about their discomfort while they are desperately searching for meaning in what she is doing, then JOB WELL FUCKING DONE. If not, no, that is just some fucked up stupid shit.
Cenk is working on his frontal assault.
Oh so many things…..
First, dumb old cold war mindsets!. Communism would maybe collapse if left to its own devices, because it doesn’t have the incentive to innovate in the same way that markets do, and that’s why Marx called it the end of history, but free market capitalism, if such a thing were ever allowed to really exist, would collapse instantly. It’s a monstrous system that creates hellscapes in it’s path. Communism creates stagnation and entrenched bureaucratic power that eventually does collapse in on itself, but rule of markets just means rule of the rich over everyone, and it’s nasty. What we need is to stop thinking in these false dichotomies of the cold war. The US has never been Capitalistic and the USSR was not Communistic. These were two empires with different cover stories that were using the propaganda of the other one to keep their own people in line. The US has been a military industrial state since at least World War II, and before that it was run by oligarchs a few major industries. The USSR was a totalitarian empire that didn’t even resemble Socialism, let alone the fictional dream state of Communism. So, let’s just get over these absurd pretend dichotomies leftover from that stupid period of history.
Second, nude vagina egg art! One thing I’ve learned about art, especially modern art, is that just because you don’t understand it, doesn’t mean it is meaningless or a prank or just some grab for attention. Anna might consider that revulsion she felt while viewing the woman dropping paint eggs naked might say more about her own point of view than the art itself, and that may be the whole point of the art. Cenk is a very rational thinking person, so I get that he just doesn’t get it and makes jokes, because ha ha naked women. But Anna was really upset, and that should be examined, because when she says that the girl is just doing it for attention, that says more about how she views her own body, her own sexuality and her own use of those things for attention and power. It also sounds just like the douchey guys who say that about all women no matter what they do. They’re always “just doing it for attention”. Art is definitely about attention, all of it is, whether you’re naked and firing eggs from your vagina or not. However, the complex relationship between how we as a society react to nudity in women, how we react to the ideas of birth and life, of menstrual cycles, the reasons brought up for why the museum would let her do it in the first place, all of that stuff is part of the art. And as far as a guy jerking off onto his canvas, that’s been done too.
