ISIS Suicide Bomber's Car Hits Roadside Bomb and Detonates in Midair
According to the Daily Mail, the video depicts an ISIS suicide bomber attempting to launch an attack on Kurdish forces near Kirkuk in northern Iraq. As the car approaches, it appears to run over a roadside bomb, launching it about 100ft into the air where it then detonates, likely due to the explosives in the vehicle.

Snuff Puppets: Everybody
Warning: not for sensitive viewers.
Everybody is an interactive installation from the Australian puppet theater company Snuff Puppets. It is the largest human puppet on the planet with detachable and interactive body parts and organs.
According to their website, Snuff Puppets are "always a nuisance – poking fun, rebelling, kicking over the traces, infiltrating the mainstream and wielding its information against it, being irreverent, naughty, a goad; reflecting power/society disrespectfully, being a bull in the china shop on purpose, breaking taboos wherever we shall find them, being rude, vulgar, violent, sexy". I believe this is an accurate description as watching the above video seems to generally illicit a WTF response from viewers. It is certain they do a splendid job of moving the viewer out of the ordinary and into bizarre dream like world. For this I applaud them. But I don't think I'm alone in finding it a bit unsettling to see children at the performance. Call me a prude if you'd like but I don't think I'll be taking my daughter to an art show which includes a giant naked puppet having it's head smashed by a brick, giving birth, having it's breast detach and spray the audience with what is supposed to be milk, having it's vagina detach, morph into a penis and then urinate on the audience. I don't know. Guess I'm weird like that.

Woman sets car on fire after being denied a cigarette
In Israel, security camera footage at a gas station shows a woman approaching a man fueling his car and asking him for a cigarette. The man gives some sort of a quick refusal then turns back to face the pump. The woman begins to walk away but apparently felt being denied a cigarette required some severe retribution, so she walks back to the man and uses a lighter to set fire to the gas nozzle. The man quickly pulls the nozzle away as the area in engulfed is flames.

Gate Rage
The video footage was taken from a security camera in the parking garage under the Höfðatorg Tower in Iceland. The incident happened more than 3 years ago according to Albert Ómar Guðbrandsson, the manager of the garage. "We've been asked countless times to publish the video, and decided to do so now after legal counseling. We were reluctant to publish it sooner, but we felt that this was the kind of video that the public should be allowed to see."

Performance Artist Michal Samama
WARNING: CONTAINS NUDITY
Michal Samama is a performance artist who, according to her bio, creates "body-based art works that incorporate movement, sound, objects, text, installation and site-specific practices....In my works I seek the space where opposites overlap. I explore how weakness, at its most extreme, utter vulnerability, uncovers a peculiar, uncanny power. I do that by creating obstacles for myself, actions to perform on stage of which I could never achieve full mastery, and keep me exposed to the possibility of failure. This structure produces images that are at the same time humorous and disturbing and evoke a sense of insecurity rather than comfort and ease...My aim is to trigger, in my most intimate, private, almost idiosyncratic images, the texture of the scars the collective leaves on the individual body, in my very flesh. It is there at my most intimate that I find the traces of collective memory, the hidden choreography of our life, for which there is no author...Much of my research is devoted to the tension between the ephemeral and the eternal; performance art and visual arts; I test the power but also the risk and uncertainty of live-presence with its ephemeral, passing quality against the static quality and the possibility of perpetuation in the visual arts."
Wow, most of that fancy intellectual talk went over my head but it sounds like her performances must be some really deep, philosophical stuff. Let's take a look.
