The Evolution of Alice in Wonderland

Below are pictures and videos of Alice's many emanations throughout the world, beginning with the original woodcuts and ending with Marilyn Manson's upcoming 2008 adaption of Alice, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, which stars Manson as Carroll, model Lily Cole as Alice, and rumors of Angelina Jolie as the Red Queen and a Johnny Depp role (the mad hatter, perhaps?)
Enjoy.

Parents Who Fuck For Children And God, Their Children Will Fuck With Their Minds

The problem with some 20^th century goddess traditions is that they unwittingly, or perhaps intentionally, get trapped in the mire of a matriarchy substituting past patriarchy, poorly disguised as something radically different from God the Father, Yahweh, and Zeus. It is not a matter of perpetuating some duality of gender through a polarized spiritual lens. In many respects, matriarchy/patriarchy is the very essence of duality or polarity, of antagonistic opposites, of bitter enemies that reconcile through copulation, only to separate again after the birth of their offspring. The preconceived notion of the offspring serves as a deus ex machina, an illogical equilibrium to an already illogical polarized “relationship”. And as soon as the offspring is given a form of its own, the illusion of balance shatters like a mirror - the mirror is in the offspring’s eyes, reflecting back to the dual-gendered parents their true forms, their real identities, which are so hideous! An oozing and stretching of countless faces, lips, genitals, colors, muscles…the very dissolution and fragmentation of their once singular identities! If only these two enemies in love could cast away their p(m)atriarchy’s handcuffs – two rings, always one in regards to one, one versus the other, one defined by the other. The final irony to it all is their dualistic understanding enabled a singular stagnant state of being. Although computer engineers will bear secular witness to the reductionist language of 1s and 0s as the true form of expression and communication, the building blocks of all numerical – and even aesthetic – value – even so, there are numbers beyond One, and beyond Two. Most importantly, Zero does not exist in our lives. Even in one’s absence is their a negative numerical value. Zero is death, or rather the fear of death.

Those two allegorical parents believed to be Two, when they were still only one versus one. Their attempt to join together, 1 + 1, ended up equaling a third being. But they clung on to that fallacy of an equation: 1 + 1 = 2 (?). The sum, as we all know, is never 2 – now there is a third, and some day will awaken to a fourth, and so on ad infinitum. Their child, Three, destroys their equation of (designed for) equilibrium. I repeat, the illusion of balance shatters like a mirror – the mirror is in the offspring’s eyes, reflecting back to them their true, 100+ digits form. If only, like their ancestors, they saw freedom in multiplicity and mutability. If only, like their ancestors, they saw Three’s two (?) eyes as circles, two loops of infinite dots and infinite time a reminder of the two rings, the two enemies in love, the two questions and the one solution….brought together, Three’s circular eyes become ∞… they are not their ancestors; the “distorted” mirrors of Three’s eyes are not circles, they are Zeros, the negation of circles, the negation of value. Their fear, itself a fittingly cowardly thing, flees the light sparkling in the corner of Three’s eyes. The fear is of death, and death is fear – the one last devolution of duality into singularity, linguistic logical loop severed and terminated. Rather the self-annihilation of one’s one Self and one’s one Other (itself too one Self / Its Self Two One Self), rather that than giving each other lobotomies followed by castrations.

1st Grade Boy Suspended

Fox News article on "violent" 1st grader's suspension


Out west in Oregon a few days ago, a first-grade boy was suspended from Little Butte School. The school acted upon numerous complaints from parents, claiming that their children had been threatened by Ryan Weathers, who is 6 years old. The reason on Ryan's disciplinary report was that he "threatened to shoot two girls in the head".

However, Ryan also drew a picture that depicted a stick figure shooting another stick figure in the head with a gun. He initially blamed another student for the drawing.

The father claims that he's never shown the one handgun he owns to his son. While understanding the other parents' concerns, he said his biggest problem was that Ryan lied, not that he drew the picture.

The picture was apparently inspired by an episode of the Simpsons, where a kid in a classroom shows a picture like the one Ryan drew. net[her] found the source article on www.foxnews.com. It is somewhat disturbing that the sentence about the Simpsons inspiration has a link to The Simpsons TV show section on the website - shameless promotion.

And the physical evidence, the SIMULACRA of simpsons, fox, and the boy's own reflection?
Pupil-less, expression-less stick-people, and a paper gun.
