F***ed Up Friday: Two Little Tidbits

Welcome back cats and kittens to another edition of F***ed Up Friday.  Unfortunately I don't have a full update for you as I am currently on vacation (I know right?  Since when do lawyers take vacations?).

In fact, this update is being written on Tuesday morning and (hopefully) scheduled to post on Friday.  Ooooooh time travel.

But never fear, I won't let you down, gentle readers, who seek creepy emotional stalker music!

First....domestic abuse is punishable by law, we all know that.  But did you know it's also punishable under United States military law?  The United States Marine Corp has a guide for helping commanding officers decide what level of intervention is necessary and the goals of said intervention should a member of the Marines be involved in domestic abuse.

Let's take a look at Level IV out of V.  Hmmm..."Significant use of non-accidental physical force . . Threats to kill, maim, or seriously harm victim or victim’s family, friends, or pets. . .Stalking."  Oh...and threatening suicide.  We go up to Level V and we have prolonged stalking, actually killing or maiming of the pets, and serious threats of suicide.

You hear that, Bruno Mars?  Even the Marines think your threats to jump on grenades and hack of limbs is akin to stalking and significant use of non-accidental force.  You need serious help.

Second...apparently people still find "Every Breath You Take" romantic.  It's apparently still a wedding song.

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE?  SERIOUSLY?!

When asked by he appears angry in the music video, Sting responded "I think the song is very, very sinister and ugly and people have actually misinterpreted it as being a gentle, little love song."


Here we go!  Quick quiz!


"Oh can't you see, you belong to me."

 "It was impossible… to stop. Impossible. But I did. I must love you."

One of those lines is from Sting.  One is from Twilight.  Can you tell them apart?

Again, we're in Level IV/Level V territory.  I can't believe I have to say this!


Anyway, it's time for vacation!  See you on the flipside.  And just remember, if you want to stalk your current crush, please leave Fluffy and Binkykins out of it.  But remember to have your pets spayed and neutered.  Bob Barker would appreciate it.
