What I find most interesting about Hannibal is the use of murder as the embodiment of undefined art and upperclassism. You have Garrett Jacob Hobbs use his victims as the most basic aspects of survival but somehow that seems more crass than the other murderers we’ve been introduced to.
Hannibal transforms his victims into food that admittedly looks delicious. We’ve seen corpses transformed into gardens, statues and marionettes of angels, impaled in a show of zealous expressionism and now transformed into instruments for serenades. Corpses displayed in horrifyingly beautiful ways that ask the age old question; ‘what is art?’
Developing: Multiple casualties in Texas fertilizer plant explosion
April 17, 2013A massive explosion has rocked a fertilizer plant near Waco, Texas. Hundreds of people were likely injured, state official says. A nursery home was destroyed by the blast and numerous buildings were damaged.
The explosion occurred around 7:50 p.m. local time in the town of West, north of Waco. A fireball of nearly 100 feet high has been reported along with a massive power outage.
A spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, D.L. Wilson, told Reuters the explosion had resulted in “probably hundreds of casualties,” saying he did not know if any of those were fatalities.
An official number of fatalities has yet to be confirmed but 60 people have been admitted to Hillcrest Hospital in Waco, just one of the multiple emergency facilities in the area.
The explosion destroyed a nearby nursing home, where it is thought that people may still be trapped inside.
Roughly 150 survivors from the damaged nursing home had been evacuated and sent to a community center outside of town, while doctors and staff of the Hillcrest Hospital have been taking in the first wave of burn victims. Fire units were draining water from community pools to douse the flames.
More than 1,000 people are said to be without electricity, according to local ABC News affiliate KXXV.
A large swath of West was “leveled” in the explosion, according to WFAA-TV Dallas reporter Jason Whitely.
West’s population was 2,674 at the 2010 census. The town is located 19.3 miles north of Waco, Texas and 70 miles south of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area.
First responders requested a bomb squad to investigate a pervasive scent of flammable chemicals. Multiple barns in the area are engulfed in flames.
Nine emergency helicopters were reported to be en route to the local high school. Emergency officials were also trying to evacuate a neighborhood near the site of the explosion. Hospital officials told CNN they were anticipating as many as 100 victims.
Police officers were seen transporting the injured in their squad cars.
This is what’s happening on Venezuela right now. Please reblog to spread the word. We had a fraud on the presidential elections. People are getting killed for defending their rights. I know what happened in Boston is extremely horrible too and I am really sorry about that but maybe you can help us too. Please guys reblog this so the whole world can know the truth!

A series of bomb blasts across Iraq on Monday killed at least 42 people and wounded more than 257 others, police said.
Lynn summarizes DC’s disgusting FaceBook post:
Whoops, we killed a kid, disfigured your heart-throb, and raped your fan-favourite. Such a hard week LOL
The summaries and blurbs they write on their page usually make me sick (such as the shitty valentines which superhero would you date article) but this is a new low.
Just a fangirl, mostly doing reblogs of stuff I like. What you'll see here: manga and anime (especially Gintama and Bleach), American superheroes (for now mostly Green Lantern and the Batfam, and with a heavy bias towards Jason Todd, I mostly post DC stuff but I am fond also of Captain America, Bucky, Natasha and co, and I recently fell in love with the Hawkeyes), Indian cinema, figure skating, computer games, a few choice shows (SPN is my current love), a few celebs (Lee Pace, Jim Sturgess, Bruce Campbell), some randomness. If we share a fandom I'm always happy to talk even if we don't know each other. I sometimes bitch about comics but I keep that under "read mores". There might be occasionally some very slightly NSFW stuff here, but I always tag it. Same with gory and violent stuff. Lastly, this is quickly turning into a Hal Jordan apprecition blog. Don't like him? You probably won't enjoy your stay here just saying.
