Beer Pong League Shocked After Member Joey Poindexter Accused Of Sexually Abusing At Least 10 Men
Hasan Hammoud Claims He’s Sorry For Putting Cat In Microwave
Sometimes, I have to look for the stupid (not very hard, mind you, but it happens)…and sometimes, the stupid walks right up to me, slaps me in the face and steals my wallet. Today, my wallet’s missing, so you can probably figure out what sort of day it’s going to be for me.
It’s not often I find myself speechless (Well, there was the time earlier this week when someone at work told me I looked like Glenn Beck. Must. Suppress. Gag. Reflex.). When I ran across both of these stories, I was well and truly dumbstruck (and disgusted). First of all, if you compete in a beer pong league, you should really think about getting out more. If you’re using a beer pong league to sexually prey on young men…well, that’s a level of depravity that defies rational understanding.
I mean, who in their right mind would violate the sanctity of a beer pong tournament, amiright??
News that one of their members has been accused of sexually abusing at least 10 men over the last decade has members of the Maryland Beer Pong league reacting with shock and anger.
“It’s a betrayal to the community,” said Sean Foster, 33, the reigning state champion and a member of the league since its formation in 2005.
Joey Poindexter, of Gaithersburg, was arrested Saturday, after a man accused him of sexual assault after a beer-pong tournament at Looney’s bar in College Park on Oct. 3.
I realize it’s a short trip from beer pong to beer goggles, but “a betrayal to the community?” Not that I want to make light of sexual assault, of course, but if you have to play beer pong to think you have any hope of getting some…well, this would probably be a good time to seek professional help, knowhutimean??
In [a] shocking video obtained by the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation, a man identified as Hasan Hammoud places a brown-white-tabby cat into a microwave oven twice. An edited version of the footage appeared in an LBCI broadcast.
The person videotaping the incident can be heard saying, “Here is the criminal Hasan Hammoud imprisoning a cat in the microwave and warming it,” before he and the person identified as Hammoud burst into laughter, the Lebanon Daily Star reported.
The cat, named “Buthaina,” reportedly survived the incident, but the video caused a firestorm of controversy since it was first posted on Friday to Mohammad Jallad.
There’s a strain of humanity that, for reasons I can’t begin to explain (or understand), thinks animal abuse is both appropriate and hilarious. Frankly, finding humor in the abuse of any sentient being- whether of the two-legged or four-legged variety- is something impossible to justify. If you need to abuse something weaker and/or smaller than you…well, you have problems I can’t begin to comprehend, but I’ll bet they’re difficult to pronounce.
I’d normally use this space to thoroughly excoriate the sort of reprobate that would do something so thoroughly inhuman…and Hasan Hammoud is certainly worthy of that. I find myself so thoroughly sickened by Hammoud’s inhumanity that I really can’t find the words to do it justice. More than anything, I hope that Hammoud has a reserved parking space waiting for him in Hell.
Man, sometimes people really, really, REALLY suck….
