Capcom just released a short clip on Michael Begum, aka Brolylegs, aka the best Chun-Li player in the world, who can beat some of the world’s best Street Fighter players without the use of his hands.
Michael was born with a rare disease called Arthrogryposis, which are congenital joint contractures. The disease prevents the brain from sending signals for bones and muscles to grow, giving Michael very limited movement in his limbs. But, he didn’t let his disability stop his love for gaming. He gave Arthrogryposis an Ultra Combo Hosenka and became one of the best Street Fighter players in the world.
Brolylegs’ handicap didn’t stop him from doing what seemed impossible. And for that, he’s a true inspiration.

Still very young but already someone you’d want to kick in the gums, a 12-year old boy was apprehended for dressing up as a police officer and extorting money from drivers in Pasay City, ABS-CBN reports. The boy had a replica 9mm in his holster and was handing out pink tickets, apprehending drivers and threatening to report them to the PNP National Highway Patrol Group.
As of writing, the boy’s been brought to Pasay City Youth Homes to be assessed by professionals. Now, let’s all pray that he doesn’t become a legitimate police officer.

In another case of Donald Trump being Donald Trump, the presidential hopeful shared that US General John Pershing summarily executed Muslim prisoners in the Philippines with bullets tainted with pig’s blood. These prisoners were alleged terrorists who did tremendous damage and caused many casualties.
“He lined up to 50 people and they shot 49 of those people and to the 50th person, he said, ‘You go back to your people. And you tell them what happened.’ For 25 years there wasn’t a problem,” Trump said during a campaign stop.
However, myth-busting website Snopes was quick to debunk Trump’s claim. There have been no known records of General Pershing’s order, and that Pershing was actually reluctant to cause any more casualties. He wrote a letter to the Moros:
“I write you this letter because I am sorry to know that you and your people refuse to do what the government has ordered. You do not give up your arms. Soldiers were sent to Taglibi so that you could come into camp and turn in your guns. When the soldiers went to camp a Taglibi, your Moros fired into camp and tried to kill the soldiers. Then the soldiers had to shoot all Moros who fired upon them. When the soldiers marched through the country, the Moros again shot at them, so the soldiers had to kill several others. I am sorry the soldiers had to kill any Moros. All Moros are the same to me as my children and no father wants to kill his own children …”
Even if Trump’s claim has been debunked, it seems that nothing will stop him from letting out offensive statements. Idiocracy is the new gentrification, people. Beware.

The late(?) führer of the Nazi party, shitheel and pathetic excuse for a human being Adolf Hitler has been making the news recently, and it’s all because of his allegedly deformed micropenis.
While Hitler’s doctor’s diaries reveal that he had a crazy drug habit which ranged from cocaine, testosterone, meth injections, laxatives(???) and more(???), the myth of Adolf’s alleged deformed genitalia received renewed attention from the historians behind book Hitler’s Last Day: Minute by Minute.
It reads, “Hitler himself is believed to have had two forms of genital abnormality: an undescended testicle and a rare condition called penile Hypospadius in which the urethra opens on the underside of the penis.” However, the one of the historians behind the book, Emma Craigie, claimed the suggestion that Hitler had a micropenis was a considerable leap just because the Nazi leader had Hypospadius. However, a German researcher confirmed that Hitler did have an undescended testicle after analyzing numerous medical reports.
