“In Praise of Hate”, a book that is banned in its own country has become a leading contender for a new literary prize (the “Arabic Booker Prize”) that aims to encourage wider reading of novels written in Arabic. The said book has been banned since it was published last year. It is written by the award-winning Syrian scriptwriter and novelist Khaled Khalifa, and the novel is set in Syria in the year 1982.

The story of “In Praise of Hate” centers around the army’s brutal shelling of Hama, where opposition groups were fighting the late President Hafez al-Assad. Khalifa describes himself as staunchly secular, and has said that the novel attacks political ideologies based on religion: “There is fierce and direct criticism of sectarianism which produces the culture of hatred.”

The International Prize for Arabic Fiction is run in association with the Booker Prize foundation and is funded largely by the Abu Dhabi Emirates Foundation. None of the shortlist, announced this week, has been translated into another language, and Sigrid Rausing, owner of Granta, has agreed to fund an English translation of the winner. The other shortlisted titles are The Land of Purgatory by Elias Farjouh, Walking in the Dust by May Menassa, Swan Song by Mekkaoui Said and Sunset Oasis by Baha Taher. The winner will be announced on March 10.

This is one commercial that should be banned for the nightmares it will cause young children! Or maybe scaredy-cats teens, hehe! It’s an Italian ad for food. Yeah, I could’t relate Freddy to food too. Not unless the food company wanted shock value and instant recall for their product that bad, hehe =) Go watch!

But, Absinthe lovers in the US, it’s time to rejoice! The notorious drink that has been banned in America since 1912 (holy sh*t! that’s nearly a 100 years already!), has finally been allowed back to the market! Woohoo! According to “rumors”, the drink has been banned because it causes seizures, blindness and even insanity. It is 60% alcohol by volume so you can just imagine it’s potency! The recommended number of Absinthe shots? TWO! That’s how potent it is.. But if you’re a thrill seeker then go ahead and try this one. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you! LOL! The video below shows a bit on how Absinthe is made, and how it is served in the past century. Go watch!

Watch this cool beer commercial that got banned and you’ll know! *wink*

After several incidents of their asses being grabbed, the indie rocker band “Kings of Leon” finally banned girls from taking pictures of them. Ooohh, that’s harsh!

Maybe this girl has something to do with it?? Check her out!
