Open Letter to Miley Cyrus, the Femen of the Year!

Nudity has become the first weapon of women against male chauvinism

(PARIS) - Dear Miley, Mrs. Sinead O'Connor obviously cannot compete with you and particularly not her matronizing and moralizing open letters on her FB page that overall refer to her own disastrous experience of ill-advised star. You did well to give up all polemic with her; she is too vulnerable.

New song unleashes rage on capitalism, Palestine, and Monsanto GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms.”

(TUCSON) - With the world in a state of chronic crisis, are there better days ahead? Jamal Belica and his crew at Aldin Entertainment think so.
