Your Dumb Media: "Underground Sex Club Discovered Under Whiskey Row"
— Ace

Everything with the media is hype and dumb.

"This is the weirdest I've ever found," said Greg Harris, the superintendent of the project for Sullivan-Cozart.

Two floors below Main Street, a large black and white logo displays the word "LATEX," presumably the name of the club, painted on the century old wall.

The wall is a century old, but the logo is decidedly not. But notice how those two concepts are used together in rapid suggestion to suggest maybe the club is a century old.

From deep inside the subterranean blackness, a series of oil paintings depict a series of bizarre images, sexual and violent.

"Very disturbing," Harris said.

Below one painting, a piece of equipment that appears fit for a torture chamber remains. A wooden rack large enough for one or two people includes a headrest and a rusted chain that can be turned by a handle. A gear resembling a saw blade is connected to the handle.

Okay. The name "Latex" suggests to me that this was an 80s club. Or even the 90s. So, it's not exactly ancient.

There is what appears to be a rack, but my guess it is used as a table, and was chosen to give an "edgy" vibe. Even though it's just used as a table. Like a dude who buys a coffin and uses it as a coffee table.

The "oil paintings" of "bizarre images, sexual and bizarre" turn out to be Goya's very famous Saturn Devouring His Child (explicit, violent painting warning) and Munch's equally famous The Scream.

You've probably seen them. On people's walls, in college. Pictures of the paintings are somewhere in the 20s in the slideshow that accompanies the article.

There's a third painting but the picture is taken at an oblique angle so I can't identify it.

Now, Goya's Black Paintings (of which Saturn Devours His Child is one) do have a kind of Call of Cthulhu feel to them, being uncomfortable images, and including one painting of the Devil at a coven. And there's a whole strange backstory to how he painted them on his walls and never told the public they even existed. (Which has led, as all interesting things must, to a conspiracy theory, that they are fakes and weren't even painted by Goya.)

But... you know, not exactly new. They date from like 1830. And not exactly arcane. And this is just the sort of vibe that an "edgy, happening" bar would like to swipe for itself.

My point is that this is probably just a seedy unlicensed bar from the 80s or 90s that tried to be all happening and edgy. Based on this thin evidence, there is really no reason to go screaming about a "Secret Underground Sex Club From Ancient Days."

Is this interesting? It's marginally interesting, I guess, to find a forgotten, dead bar from the 80s or 90s.

It is not nearly as interesting as "Secret Underground Sex Club Discovered In Old Civil War Mineshaft," which is the sort of vibe this sells.

The real deception comes in branding extremely well-known paintings (reproductions, of course) as "bizarre images, violent and sexual," as if this is some kind of Cthulhu cultists' representation of the First Ring of Hell.

Are they just that dumb? Or are they selling you dumb? I don't know.

They really are that dumb, ace.

Though how anyone could not recognize "The Scream," possibly the most mimicked piece of art in all of pop culture, I do not know.

91 An Israeli judge, after an exhaustive trial, dismissed a damage suit brought by the parents of Rachel Corrie, who was run over by a military bulldozer in the Gaza Strip in 2003. The judge ruled that her death was a "regrettable accident," brought about by her failure to keep out of a military zone during the second intifada. His decision clears the Israeli military of any wrongdoing. It notes that the operator of the bulldozer could not have seen Corrie as she climbed aboard a pile of dirt and then lost her footing. Corrie was a 23-year-old activist and member of the International Solidarity Movement, known for its violent tactics in radical causes. Her death quickly turned her into a mythical icon -- a martyr -- for the Palestinian cause.

The districts were valid at the time of the elections. Voters voted in "good faith".

They did. But a) this finding says that minorities were prevented from selecting representative leadership and b) new districts will have to be drawn- meaning even if we keep the results, people who voted for one guy in the primary won't be able to vote for him again in the general.

This is f*cking stupid.

He described the depravity as "a video of a half-dressed man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal" (it was a funny video about a guy going to take a leak in a field and then finding himself with his pants down being chased by a bull). The other devastating pr0n was something about sick fecal pr0n .... it was a picture of a guy who shit his pants bungee jumping and was just hanging there.

137 From Legal Insurrection. Update Â– If IÂ’m reading this correctly, there is no remedy imposed by the Court. National Journal notes the following: This yearÂ’s elections are proceeding under different, interim maps developed by a separate federal court in San Antonio. Those maps will remain in place until, barring appeal, Texas will be forced to once again redraw their election maps prior to the 2014 elections. The politics appear to be that the new, more favorable to GOP maps are on hold and will not even take effect in 2014 unless there is a reversal, via Dallas Morning News: The redistricting battle for this election had already been decided, but this legal wrangling could have an effect on the next elections. Texas Republican leaders want a map drawn by the Legislature last year to take effect, as it would give the GOP a bounty of seats. Democrats say the maps donÂ’t reflect that the stateÂ’s population growth, which gained Texas four new U.S. House seats after the latest Census, was driven by booming populations of minorities, who tend to vote strongly Democratic.

It would not shock me in the least if the court does not have a summary ruling ready and that that ruling will be the destruction of the Reconstruction rules...

191 The court ruled against Corrie's family on 28 August 2012, invoking the principle of the combatant activities exception, as the IDF was attacked in the same area where Corrie was killed a few hours earlier; that Corrie could have avoided the danger and that defendants were not at fault as there was neither intent nor negligence involved in her death.[81] During the trial, four expertsÂ—including an expert on the behalf of the Corrie familyÂ—concluded that the bulldozer driver could not see Corrie. This conclusion was approved by the judge Oded Gershon.[82] Judge Oded Gershon said that the IDF did not violate Corrie's right to life because Corrie had placed herself in a dangerous situation, that Israel's investigation was appropriate and did not contain mistakes. The judge also criticized the U.S. government for failing to send a diplomatic representative to observe Corrie's autopsy.[83] Gershon said: "I rule unequivocally that the claim that the deceased was intentionally hit by the bulldozer is totally baseless. This was an extremely unfortunate accident.[7] I reached the conclusion that there was no negligence on the part of the bulldozer driver. I reject the suit. There is no justification to demand the state pay any damages. She [Corrie] did not distance herself from the area, as any thinking person would have done. She consciously put herself in harm's way." Furthermore, Gershon pointed to three different entry bans, and also pointed out that the Philadelphi route was effectively a war zone and was formally declared a closed military zone when Corrie died. Gershon also noted that the United States had issued an Israel travel advisory warning to avoid Gaza and the West Bank. In addition, Gershon said that the ISM "abuses the human rights discourse to blur its actions which are de facto violence" and specialized in disrupting IDF activity, which "included an army of activists serving as 'human shields' for terrorists wanted by Israeli security forces, financial and logistical aid to Palestinians including terrorists and their families, and disruption of the sealing of suicide bombers' houses."[84] http://goo.gl/pKwF6

193 I was happy to see your takedown. The article confused me and the photos seemed like just a bunch of old junk.

Puddle pirates... I went to one of my sonar schools with a Coast Toastie... He sounded like he was Canadian. In fact, I'm pretty certain all Coast Guardians are from Canada. Foreigners. Probably why the USN had him studying the most useless Rube Goldbergian POS sonar system ever designed.*

*Of course, I got to spend the next four years trying to maintain said useless Rube Goldbergian POS sonar system, so I guess the joke's on me.

I respect people in the Coast Guard. Especially in Alaska. That's one tough job.

200 Just spill the dimes on the ground. The old vampire will go all OCD until they are gathered, and stacked in order of the date minted. That'll shut the bastard up for a while.

201 You know, I looked at that Satan Devouring His Child painting. Nothing an old lady with some Wallyworld paints couldn't fix right up!

202 Here is the truth. that building in the 80's was known as the Downtowner. It was a gay club with drag shows. It wasn't a S&M sex club. That area they showed was the lower level of the club and what you saw were props, etc from previous shows and club furniture for different themes. All the over exaggerated, misinformation given shows how lame this town is

LATEX stands for Louisville Area Trust Exchange, it was a pan sexual club that closed in the mid nineties. Never been there myself, but I had some friends that did go there several times.
