Pussy Riot Attacked at McDonald's



Pussy Riot members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina have been attacked by five young men at a McDonald's in Nizhny Novgorod on Thursday. 
The attackers threw metal objects at the women as they were eating, leaving Alyokhina with "a cut to her forehead," their lawyer said, Interfax reported.
Furthermore, Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina sustained injuries to their eyes after an unidentified liquid was thrown in their faces.
The women were filing reports with the police, their lawyer said.
This is not the first time that the women have been attacked following their January release from prison, where they had been serving two-year sentences for performing an anti-Putin song in Moscow's Christ the Saviour Cathedral.
Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina were whipped by Cossack militiamen as they tried to perform a protest song in Sochi during the 2014 Winter Olympics

I put all my boards in a garbage bag, and carried them to Universal myself and I put them out. I pitched my butt off." Jolie was convincing: "Unbroken," which Universal will release on Dec. 25, ...

Releasing 1.5 Million Balloons Into The Air Is A Bad Idea

Image
With the best of intentions, Tom Holowach set out to create a massive spectacle. As Gizmodo reports,  Holowach was the mastermind behind Cleveland, Ohio's Balloon Fest on September 27, 1986. Holowach explained his role in a Q&A this week: I was the Project Manager for this event. I worked on it for 6 months and lived in Cleveland for a month preparing for it. We had to design a structure this filled a city square and could stand up to 90 MPH winds, which was building code. The one-piece net was fabricated by the exact company I found in So Cal who built the cargo nets for the Space Shuttle. Kids in schools "sold" balloon sponsorships at 2 for a dollar that went to United Way. The goal was 2 million but we stopped at 1.4 + million. Though the event was a spectacle, as can be seen from the photos below, Balloon Fest ended in tragedy. As Viral Forest explains,  a storm moved  in and forced all of the balloons back over the city. Two fisherman whose boat ...
