Disgraced Lottery Winner Now Works In Cookie Factory (Video)
July 15, 2013
Years ago, Michael Carroll hit the lottery in Britain. Yes! Now, he’s working in a cookie factory in Scotland?? Nooooo!
Now, there is NOTHING wrong with working in a cookie factory (esp. if you own it… bought from, say, the money you won in the lottery). But…
In 2002, the then-19-year-old garbage man won £9.7 million (about $14.4 million). However, over the next few years, Carroll lived it up eff’d it up – snorting massive amounts of ‘nose candy’ (e.g. using cocaine), spending outrageous amounts on a mansion, jewelry and hookers, and landing himself in jail sentence in 2006. But now in the aftermath, this dude may finally be getting it together – acting like he has some sense after wasting part of his lifetime and getting down to his last cents.
“In the crazy days, I’d wake up, do a line of cocaine, then open a can of lager. These days, it’s bran flakes for Âbreakfast at 7 a.m. then maybe a cycle before work.”
– Michael Carroll
Check out a teaser for a documentary being made after the jump.

“Citizen Koch” Is the Film Billionaire David Koch Doesn’t Want You To See (Documentary Trailer)
July 12, 2013
If you know your Tea Party politics, then you have heard of Charles and David Koch (b.k.a. The Koch Brothers). But this time David crossed a line. Here’s your chance to take a stand with documentary filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (video of them explaining their “Citizen Koch” initiative above).
We believe that your voice can be louder than David Koch’s money.
We are very grateful for any amount you can give.’
These rich Republicans play dirty! Now, they are trying to control what PUBLIC television airs… in addition to the politicians that ultimately run the United States. Don’t let this happen! Help however you can. Suggestion: Donate to the Kickstarter Campaign to put “Citizen Koch” out to the masses. See the official trailer after the jump.

Vinyl Destination | Ep. 14: Off To Madrid With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
July 12, 2013
In episode 14 of Vinyl Destination, DJ Jazzy Jeff takes us to Madrid to kick off a European tour. And Skillz has a confession:
‘I got vinyl. I have plenty of vinyl… I literally remember going to Food Lion stealing milk crates… so I could put my records in them. Yeah, I did that!’
Okay, so it was wrong. But Skillz really wanted to be a deejay back in the day. Now, the dinner conversation was fun… but Jeff rocking the show later? C’mon! Off the meter! And the vid isn’t even half over by that point. Another great trip for Vinyl Destination.

VICE: Russian Billionaire Sergey Veremeenko is Russia’s 0.00001% (Video)
July 12, 2013
“We’ve been flying all over this land, and you’re like, ‘Okay. When do we get to Sergey’s place?’ This is Sergey’s place. This entire f#king place is Sergey’s. He owns pretty much the entire north of Russia!” – Ryan Duffy, Vice
Remember the 1% we were supposed to hate on as the Occupy Wall Street movement gained traction? Well, how much hate do you think a country’s .00001% can stir up?
After the collapse of Communism in Russia, as state assets were divvied up and privatized, a few individuals stepped in to take the reins of this entrepreneurial experiment. Rewarded with massive fortunes and fame, they came to be known as “the oligarchs.”
To see how the .00001% lives, we met up with infamous Russian oligarch Sergey Veremeenko and spent quality time hog-hunting and helicopter-joyriding at his private estate outside Moscow.
– Vice
Connections in the country’s steel, mining, and banking industries… and the MOVIE industry… and a fine a$$ 20-something model/actress wife (Sofya Skya, Miss World 2006). Man.
Click play. Let the hating begin.

Could Kendrick Lamar and Erykah Badu Be ‘Making A Connection?’ (Video)

Check the BET performance after the jump and witness the cause of Rosenberg’s lamentations after the jump.
