Little 9-10 Year Old Girls (Watoto From The Nile) Get At Lil Wayne For His Violent, Drug Fueled, Misogynistic Lyrics In Their Song "Letter To Lil Wayne"

Not everyone hangs on Lil Wayne's every lyric, thinking he is the best rapper ever.

Watoto From The Nile's song "Letter to Lil Wayne" is deep and moving.

Written and rapped from the perspective of little girls. The song talks about the confusion felt by children when they hear stars like Weezy say things that go against what they are taught at home and in school.

"Letter to Lil Wayne" is a direct statement of justice from Watoto From The Nile. Growing tired and fed up with the constant degredation of Black women inside of Hip Hop music, they voice thier views and opinions on this melodic track.

2011 Geneva Auto Show

GENEVA -- The air at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show was ... ahem ... electric (with concept cars, that is). From the bottom of the spectrum with the new Toyota Yaris hybrid, all the way to the top with the purely electric Rolls-Royce Phantom-based 102EX, not since the 1881 Exhibition of Electricity in Paris, which congregated electric technologists from all over the world, has so much wattage been on display.

And yet, it wasn't just the electrically powered machines that had the crowd buzzing. Alternative fuels and unconventional propulsion systems have apparently taken deep root in the world's automotive labs. A four-wheel-drive Ferrari? Did you think you'd live to see the day? And who could have imagined a BMW that talks to inanimate objects?

The most typical face on the planet

National Geographic Magazine released a video clip, below, showing the most "typical" human face on the planet as part of its series on the human race called "Population 7 billion."

The researchers conclude that a male, 28-year-old Han Chinese man is the most typical person on the planet. There are 9 million of them.

The image above is a composite of nearly 200,000 photos of men who fit that description.

Don't get used to the results, however. Within 20 years, the most typical person will reside in India.

WikiLeaks: How the Cola war was won in Libya

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – An unpublished U.S. diplomatic cable obtained by WikiLeaks tells the previously undisclosed story of how an American corporate powerhouse -- the $35-billion Coca-Cola Co. -- got caught up in a fierce fraternal dispute between two of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's sons.

The contretemps among the freres Gaddafi over a local bottling plant escalated into a heavily armed confrontation resembling a Hollywood gangster film, as a classified 2006 U.S. cable put it.

"You know the movie 'The Godfather'? We've been living it for the last few months," a businessman involved in the dispute was quoted in the cable as telling an official from the U.S. diplomatic mission in Tripoli.

The cable, which was made available to Reuters by a third party, centers on a bottling plant in Tripoli that was shut down for three months. It had been seized by troops loyal to Mutassim Gaddafi, a son of Muammar, who at the time was feuding with one of his brothers, Mohammed. (Another State Department cable suggests a third Gaddafi son, Saadi -- better known as the family's professional soccer player -- may also have been involved in the squabble, though no details of his role are given.)

Eventually, the American diplomatic mission in Tripoli, known then as the U.S. Liaison Office, sent a firm protest to the Libyan government. The document states that around the same time, Mohammed Gaddafi, possibly under pressure from his sister Aisha, a family peacemaker, apparently agreed that shares owned by the Libyan Olympic Committee, which he led, would be sold to a third party.

Shortly afterward, the cable says, Mutassim's men left the Coke plant, ending the family standoff, but not before employees of the plant received threats of bodily harm and a Gaddafi cousin was stuffed in the trunk of a car.

U.S. FREEZES FAMILY ASSETS

The Coca-Cola confrontation is among numerous tales about endless squabbling within the Gaddafi clan recounted in State Department cables. Among other things, the incident underlines the difficulties faced by foreign companies operating in Libya even after the U.S. and United Nations began to scale back sanctions following Muammar Gaddafi's decision in late 2003 to abandon his nuclear weapons program.

A spokesman for Coca-Cola acknowledged there had been "some uncertainty" surrounding Coke distribution arrangements in Libya during the period described in the cable. But the problem was "resolved amicably" by the end of 2006, the spokesman said, and since then, Coca-Cola had been operating normally in Libya until the onset of the current unrest.

A spokesman for the State Department said: "We will decline to comment on any particular cable. The U.S. has taken aggressive action in recent days to freeze the assets of the Qaddafi family. Thus far, more than $30 billion in assets have been blocked."

WORKERS THREATENED, PLANT MATERIALS DESTROYED

Back when Libya was isolated by economic sanctions, its Coca-Cola supply was limited to consignments of the beverage bottled at a plant in Tunisia and transported to Tripoli and Benghazi.

After U.S. and international trade embargoes on Libya began to ease, the Tripoli plant was established. It was co-owned by what the cable describes as a British company called Ka'Mur -- whose name was a reference to two embargo-era Libyan soft-drinks -- and by the Libyan Olympic Committee, headed by Mohammed Gaddafi.

Immediately after this joint venture was set up, the State Department cable says, the embargo-era Libyan distributor of bottled Coke sued the group behind the newly-opened plant, alleging breach of contract. A complaint was also sent to Coca Cola International alleging that the bottling plant operators had "stolen the franchise" from the previous distributors, according to the cable. The bottling plant operators counter-sued.

Then, on December 28, 2005 -- two weeks after the Tripoli plant began turning out locally-bottled batches of Coke -- "two military cars carrying armed personnel without clear identification illegally broke into the facility, asked the employees to leave the premises and shut down the plant," according to an account of the incident a businessman gave to U.S. diplomats.

The U.S. mission in Libya learned from other sources that the troops were loyal to Mutassim Gaddafi, who, after the Coca-Cola dispute was resolved, was named Libya's national security adviser.

According to the State Department cable, Mutassim bore a grudge against his brother because he had "taken over" the embargo-era domestic soft-drink business in the late 1990s when Mutassim had been exiled to Egypt for "insubordination" against their father. (Another cable says the "rumor" was that Mutassim had been linked to a coup attempt.)

COUSINS ASSAULTED

Sporadic violent incidents continued to erupt in the weeks after Mutassim's forces occupied the bottling plant.

Early in the siege, a businessman affected by the squabble told American diplomats, the occupation force would allow plant managers to enter the building alone or in pairs. But later employees were barred from the facility.

During the weeks that followed, according to the State Department account, anonymous callers threatened three Coca-Cola employees, all Jordanian citizens, with "political problems" and bodily harm. Complaints to police, and later to Muammar Gaddafi himself, were met with indifference. The Libyan leader, according to the cable, "declined to get involved personally" yet urged plant owners to do "everything within (their) power to resolve the matter according to Libyan law."

Then, shortly before the plant reopened, Mutassim's men "abducted and assaulted" one of Mohammed Gaddafi's in-laws to "send a signal," according to the cable.

Earlier that day, it reported, one of Mohammed's associates, after hearing Mutassim "raging," phoned one the bottling plant's founder to warn him to "leave the city immediately" because Mutassim's men were coming to get him.

That night, a posse of Mutassim's associates turned up outside his brother's home and began shouting for Mohammed Gaddafi to come outside. When they got no response, the cable reports, Mutassim's men grabbed "one of Mohammed's cousins," who they proceeded to stuff into the trunk of one of their cars. The cable does not report the cousin's ultimate fate.

About a month later -- soon after the bottling plant had reopened -- two more violent incidents involving Mutassim Gaddafi occurred, according to the cable.

On one occasion, according to a witness who talked to American diplomats, Mutassim personally "assaulted" an unnamed cousin of Mohammed Gaddafi ("on his mother's side", according to the cable) who was a member of the Libyan Olympic Committee headed by Mohammed. A day earlier, the cable said, Mutassim had assaulted another of Mohammed's cousins. (The cable does not make clear whether either of these cousins might have been the cousin who earlier had been stuffed in a car trunk.)

It was in the wake of these episodes that one of the U.S. diplomatic mission's contacts offered the comment comparing his situation to "The Godfather." In a "hushed voice," the cable reports, the contact advised his American interlocutor that while he had heard "stories" about doing business in Libya, he had "never imagined" that what had occurred was still possible.

"ALL PARTIES" WANTED STORY HUSHED UP

After the bottling plant returned to operation, according to the State Department's account, some contacts of U.S. diplomats said that a settlement between Mohammed and Mutassim Gaddafi had been brokered by their sister Aisha, described in other cables as a frequent arbiter of disputes among her fractious siblings. But other embassy contacts said that Mohammed Gaddafi decided on his own to lessen tensions with Mutassim by selling the Olympic Committee's shares to a third party.

The U.S. mission in Libya claimed some credit for helping to defuse the standoff. The cable says that because the principal company involved in operating the Tripoli bottling plant was not an American entity, U.S. diplomats were limited in what they could do.

But in an effort to "protect the broad interests of a brand representing several million USD in annual sales to a U.S.-based company," U.S. diplomats did contact influential Libyan officials to urge that the brotherly dispute be resolved: the U.S. mission sent what the cable describes as a "strongly worded diplomatic note" expressing "serious concern over the plant closure and noting the growing risk of severe damage to U.S. investor confidence in Libya."

Two days later, the plant reopened.

The State Department cable describes the Coca-Cola conflict as a "case study in the involvement of Qadhafi (sic) family members directly influencing the flow, pace and nature of economic activity. Family members squabble over personal financial interest with little regard to the possible impact on foreign investors or international public opinion."

The Coca-Cola case, the cable adds, "is typical of the power struggles likely to continue as the Qadhafi children and other regime elite continue to define (or re-define) their respective spheres of commercial influence."

Apart from a brief mention on a website operated by Libyan dissidents, the cable adds, it was "noteworthy that the news was kept out of the press," since "all parties involved -- including the foreign companies -- had an interest in keeping things quiet as long as there seemed a possibility of a near-term solution."

Jay-Z Worried Rihanna Might Be Back In Contact With Chris Brown

MTV-UK is reporting that not only is Hov worried about her physical health, he's also worried Chris Brown might be back dipping in that pool again since the restraining order she had against him was lifted.

"Jay said she is a role model for a lot of your kids. A little bit of controversy is alright, he said, but too much and she could very easily lose all the respect she has worked so hard to win overnight," says an insider.

As for Riri's health, the beauty from Barbados has been touring and working non stop. That is starting to take it's toll on here. She was ill prior to her performance NBA All Star Weekend. Hov thinks she needs to kick back and take some time off

"Rihanna’s professional, works hard and stays away from drugs and alcohol, but Jay wants her to be careful,” says the source. "He told her to take a holiday for a week – she’s been working flat out and needs to get over the bronchitis, which he’s sure she’s developed as a result of stress."

$20 Diaper Dispute Turns Deadly For Young Brooklyn Girl

From Left to Right: Victim Kamisha Richards & Suspect Kayla Henriques

A young Brooklyn woman was apparently stabbed to death by a Facebook friend late Monday evening over a $20 loan.

Police say Kamisha Richards, 22, was stabbed at 1220 Sutter Avenue in the Cypress Hill Houses public housing project in East New York. She died at Brookdale Hospital.

Police arrested Kayla Henriques, 18, of Sutter Ave. on Tuesday to face murder charges. She is reportedly the girlfriend of the victim's brother. Henriques is the mother of an 11-month-old boy and lives in the same housing complex as the victim.

NYPD sources confirmed to MyFoxNY.com that the motive for the murder was an argument over a loan.

The Daily News reported that it was $20 to buy diapers. The paper claimed Richards had recently loaned Henriques the cash and became angry after learning the money was spent on things other than diapers. Police dispute the diaper connection.


Richards was a 2010 graduate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, according to her Facebook profile. The suspect, Kayla Henriques, was listed as one of her Facebook friends on her profile.

On Sunday night, Richards and Henriques had gotten into a heated war-of-words on Facebook, according to the NY Post.

Snoop Dogg Says He'd Never Have Sex With Lady Gaga Because "She's Weird As F*ck & Might Have A Snake Or Knife In Her P***Y"

Snoop Dogg is down for collaborating with Lady Gaga. A couple of weeks ago he sent out an all-points-bulletin for the "Born This Way" singer hoping for a sensual hook up in the studio. But that's as far as he would be willing to take it.

The Doggfather can't foresee ever wanting to get in bed with the woman he describes as "weird as f*ck."

During an interview Snoop elaborated on his feelings about the current queen of pop music.

"I don’t judge Lady Gaga, either. She makes good sh*t, not like a lot of other garbage being repeated. She’s weird as f*ck. Who knows, she might have a snake or a knife in her p*ssy if you try to get some from her," Snoop said.

UK, Germany fly secret missions into Libya

BERLIN – British and German military planes swooped into Libya's desert, rescuing hundreds of oil workers and civilians stranded at remote sites, as thousands of other foreigners are still stuck in Tripoli by bad weather and red tape.

The secret military missions into the turbulent North Africa country signal the readiness of Western nations to disregard Libya's territorial integrity when it comes to the safety of their citizens.

Three British Royal Air Force planes plucked 150 stranded civilians from multiple locations in the eastern Libyan desert before flying them to Malta on Sunday, the British Defense Ministry said in a statement. One of the RAF Hercules aircraft appeared to have suffered minor damage from small arms fire, Defence Secretary Liam Fox said.

The rescue follows a similar secret commando raid Saturday by British Special Forces that got another 150 oil workers from the remote Libyan desert.

Separately, Germany said its air force had evacuated 132 people also from the desert during a secret military mission on Saturday.

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said Sunday that two German military planes landed on a private runway belonging to the Wintershall AG company, evacuating 22 Germans and 112 others and flying them to the Greek island of Crete.

Another 18 German citizens were rescued by the British military in a separate military operation Saturday that targeted remote oil installations in the Libyan desert, Westerwelle said. He said around 100 other German citizens are still in Libya and the government was trying to get them out as quickly as possible.

"I want to thank the members of the Germany military for their brave mission," Westerwelle said.

11-Year Old Thai Girl Makes It Into Guinness Book Of World Records As "World's Hairiest Girl"

When you're born with a rare condition that makes hair grow uncontrollably all over your body and has only affected around 50 other people in the world, life can be a nightmare especially for an 11-year old girl. But for Supatra Sasuphan of Bangkok,Thailand it is quite the opposite.

You see Supatra suffers from Ambras Syndrome - caused by a faulty chromosome. Before the disease was understood, sufferers were branded 'werewolves.'

She has thick hair growing over her face, ears, arms, legs and back. Even laser treatment has failed to stop the hair growth.

But while most sufferers have been shunned, Supatra has gradually been embraced by her community, and became a popular and outgoing child. 'I'm very happy to be in the Guinness World Records! A lot of people have to do a lot to get in,' she said. 'All I did was answer a few questions and then they gave it to me.'

She said: 'There were a few people who used to tease me and call me monkey face but they don't do it any more.
'I'm very used to this condition. I can't feel the hair as it has always been like this. I don't feel anything.
'It does sometimes make it difficult to see when it gets long.I hope I will be cured one day.'

Besides the hair issue, Supatra lives life just like any other young girl. Hanging out with friends, listening to music, dancing and swimming are among her daily routine. She also her future plans thought out as she hopes to become a doctor.

'I want to become a doctor so I can help patients when they get injured.'I want to help people who get hurt and help cure people.'

Meet the dorky, controversial mascots for the 2014 Olympics

A snowboarding leopard, a figure-skating bunny and a polar bear wearing a scarf will be the three mascots for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia. Though those are some of the safest choices imaginable, the decision has led to charges of plagiarism, corruptibility and vote-rigging.

The winners were announced on a live television show broadcast throughout the country. Viewers cast over 1 million votes for the nine candidates and officials selected the top-three to serve as Sochi's official mascots. The snow leopard came out on top with 28 percent of the vote.

"This polar bear, everything is taken from mine, the eyes, nose, mouth, smile," he told a Moscow radio station. "I don't like being robbed."
