3 Weirdest Riots
3 Weirdest Riots
Riots about sugar prices, tea taxes and racial tension are fairly boring. Sure, if you’re a regressive religious idiot you might riot about a cartoon of a man in a turban drawn by an old man 2000 miles away, but there’s no accounting for taste. Here are three of the more peculiar public disturbances to have occurred in the past few hundred years.
Tranny riots
There have been remarkably few riots involving solely transexuals, top of the list is the transexual riot of ‘66 in San Fransisco which started when a queen threw his coffee in a policeman’s face. What followed was the finest display of tranny violence the world has seen. Angry at police harassment the trannies went crazy, windows were smashed, plates were thrown and police cars were attacked by men in sequinned dresses, make up and over sized wigs.
Oxford Students Riot of 1355
What might sound like a more genteel variety of riot ended with 63 students and 30 locals dead. It all started with an argument over beer, before anyone knew what was happening students and locals were arming themselves and doing battle with each other in the streets.
The solution to the friction between town and gown seemed obvious, the university insisted that the town mayor must walk bareheaded through the town, paying a fine of a penny for every student killed. Not just once, but for 440 years, until the mayor refused to carry on with the bizarre ritual in 1825.
Old price riots 1809
When the management of London’s Covent Garden Theatre raised their prices, the plebs went bananas. Sixty four days of rioting followed, furious theatre goers interrupted plays and generally pissed everyone off.
To stop the rioting the theatre management had the great idea of hiring a Jewish boxer called Daniel Mendoza and his buddies to beat the crap out of everyone. This unsurprisingly backfired and the rioters went mental.
The Worst Fight Scenes Ever Filmed
The 3 Worst Fight Scenes Ever Filmed
Watching men fight can be exciting, fun and for some people ever so slightly erotic. Whether you’re the kind of film director that likes stupid kung fu noises or that punching sound you can make with your mouth, you can’t go wrong with a well executed fight scene. Or you could just come up with some really crappy scenes like these, up to you.
#1 The Exectutioner
A French classic, a masterpiece of choreography. You can see the French Duck Hands Technique of fighting being used with lethal effect, very scary. The afro-man vomiting up his own spittle is also a particular highlight.
#2 Sweaty Men in Warehouse…with knives!
Why fight your fellow homosexual knife-wielding warehouse worker fully clothed? The glistening sweat adds to the intensity.
#3 Mr Punjabi Strikes Again
A mutant child and some mariarchi music, makes plenty of sense if you’re writing a Bollywood action film whilst tripping out of your skull on hallucinagenic Indian Jungle frog. I don’t get it.
Kizaz Kiss ass!
Kiss my ass.
