Graphic violence, crucifixion, depicted in new music video for Indochine’s “College Boy”
A new music video by gay Quebecois director Xavier Dolan for the popular French rock band Indochine features the crucifixion and graphic shooting of a bullied student at a Catholic school.
In the video, a bullied teenage boy is taunted in the hallways of the school before being pursued, thrown down stairs, kicked and pissed on, then nailed to a cross and shot several times by his classmates while others shoot the scene on their mobile phones.
The video has been banned during daytime viewing hours in France.
While many find the images shocking, the video is also finding much support in social media. From the Local:
Radio and TV host Emilie Mazoyer summed up the view of many Twitter users, saying: “Some people find Indochine’s music video ‘violent.’ Yes, it does turn your stomach for six minutes. But bullied students go through that 300 days a year. Imagine that.”
Warning: graphic violence depicted

Trailer: Channing Tatum in WHITE HOUSE DOWN
“How do you lose a rocket launcher???”
Folks are sometimes surprised when I share that my favorite movies are adventure/action movies. Romantic movies usually make me uncomfortable because they generally require folks to look dumb or awkward in some way. Not my thing.
Channing Tatum is definitely “my thing.” The mix of humor and action works for me 🙂
I’ll be seeing this day one on June 28th.
Official Description:
While on a tour of the White House with his young daughter, a police officer (Channing Tatum) springs into action to protect his child and the president (Jamie Foxx) from a heavily armed group of paramilitary invaders. Co-starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Woods and Joey King.

College student designs shirt that goes 100 wearings without washing
Here’s a success story for you.
You know how jeans can take a lot of wearings between washing? You know how shirts CAN’T take a lot of wearings between washing?
Well, here’s how college student Mac Bishop fixed that. He made a shirt you only have to wash once a year.
From Huffington Post:
Along with two friends, Bishop, 24, founded Wool&Prince, a fashion startup in New York City that sells just one product. Its fine-spun wool button-down shirt is supposed to last for 100 wearings without needing a wash.
Bishop is clearly is onto something. In recent weeks, Wool&Prince has become a sensation on Kickstarter, the crowdfunding site. The craze over the company’s 100-day shirt started on April 22, when Wool&Prince launched its campaign with a goal of raising $30,000. The startup ended up raising more than $290,000 in less than 10 days, and now the company has capped its production run in order to keep control of the project, Bishop said.
Bishop’s inspiration for the 100-day shirt came from his pants. “Guys love their jeans, [which] are low-maintenance, but there was not an option like that for button-downs,” he explained in a phone call with The Huffington Post, “like something guys don’t have to worry about.”
The secret behind the shirt’s durability is finely spun wool, like the kind that would be used in an Italian suit. Wool doesn’t get smelly — unlike, say, a poly blend — because it doesn’t absorb sweat, which can lead to stinky bacteria growth in a garment.
With its new funds, Wool&Prince will produce 3,000 shirts at a factory in Shanghai and sell them for $98 apiece. But there’s bad news for consumers interested in buying one: The 100-day shirt is already sold out due to pre-orders.
What do you think? Would you buy a shirt that goes 100 wearings without a wash? Leave a comment below.
