The CEO of GoDaddy, Bob Parsons, has posted a video of his vacation in Zimbabwe online. Normally not something that would cause controversy, it’s the slaughter of an innocent elephant being glorified that has the internet in an uproar. The video opens with “For the second year in a row, I spent ten days hunting problem elephant in Zimbabwe.”

The video below contains scenes of graphic violence against animals. Viewer discretion is advised.

Parsons, accompanied by local tour guides, shows where crops have been trampled by these “problem elephant” on his self-proclaimed “humanitarian” expedition. “Many die each year from starvation and one of the problems they have is the elephants, of which there are thousands and thousands, that trash many of their fields destroying the crops. Of everything I do this is the most rewarding. This video shows one typical night and day.” This is how he rationalizes what comes next…

I woke up a few mornings ago and felt like I was changing. Sadness and doubt, creeping in to smother my usually bright demeanor, one centimeter of skin turning grey at a time, like Natalie Portman’s black swan transformation. Slow but steady, this feeling of just losing control. There is no worse feeling in the world. I am always in control, or so I like to think, and it’s days like this that I wake up and realize it’s all a fallacy. I have about as much control over my life as a bike with no brakes flying down a hill into a crowded intersection. This is just a feeling though, my choices are my own, it’s just some days I feel so… helpless.

My friend Jordan had been feeling the same lately, so last night the two of us met up for drinks so he could vent. He’s been dating this girl, and without going into too much into detail, it doesn’t seem to be working out in his favor. He cares for her and wants it to work out, but instead of his concern making things better, it seems to be making things worse. He’s watching her disappear, and there’s nothing he can do about it. It was driving him crazy, and he wanted a girl’s point of view on the situation.

It cracks me up when people ask me for relationship advice. Anyone will tell you, I have the mind of a fraternity guy. I’ve always had more male friends than female, and while I, of course, have some crazy female tendencies, when it comes to relationships gone sour, I tend to solve any problem by just falling off the planet. You act like an idiot? I disappear. I refuse to chase after anyone, and the second I find myself doing it, the game is over. It’s embarrassing. Closure is nice, but it rarely happens. I know it’s a strange way to look at it, but my main thing is this: Dating is supposed to be fun, and the second it stops being fun, it’s time to call it quits.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are best known as the creators of the irreverent and extreme Comedy Central series South Park, which has been running for 14 seasons now. On it, the pair have tackled numerous subjects that other TV shows would deem untouchable. Their humor often takes aim at cultural icons like Michael Jackson and Tom Cruise, but their favorite anvil to hammer is organized religion.

It’s that love of religion that led Stone and Parker to write and produce their latest work, The Book of Mormon, which opened last week at the Eugene O’Neill theater in New York, and has thus far received rave reviews. Stone and Parker describe their musical as “an atheist’s love letter to religion.” It’s an interesting line to walk, but while both are non-believers, they admit to being fans of religion in general.

This week will see the release of Revolver, the latest cinematic neckbreaker from 39-year-old British helmer Guy Ritchie. His previous gangster films, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and its follow-up, Snatch, were hailed as major events on both sides of the pond upon their release, and today are seen as cornerstones of a new film genre – the heightened-reality, super-kinetic gangster film, in which the most gruesome toughs and unlikely hoods imaginable all conspire in a near-comical, circle-jerk fashion to outdo each other and rack up the most impressive body count.
