In today’s world, crime has been increasing to levels where you’re lucky to make it from your bed to your bathroom alive. Experts on crime, government authorities, and some responsible parents have noticed this problem and have decided to take action by getting at the root of the problem: children. 4. Five-year-old misses party and gets an invoice and a lawsuit threat. A small boy in Southern United Kingdom was invited to a birthday party at the Plymouth Sky Slope and Snowboard Center, which he missed because he preferred to spend the day with his grandparents instead. The next day, when the boy went back to the Torpoint Nursery...

Following North Korea’s hacking of Sony Pictures studio’s internal emails revealing scandalous communications between Hollywood’s most powerful and influential players and leading to the cancellation of the release of a major Hollywood holiday motion picture, Hollywood power brokers representing all branches of the entertainment industry announced today that they are officially shutting down all entertainment operations out of fear of further, deeper internet revelations. “We simply feel that the internet is far too vulnerable to terrorist hacking to legitimize continuing entertainment content,” stated Jack Du Lopez, spokesman for the...

At Unhinged Magazine, we sympathize with the victims of the attacks at the offices of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. We strongly condemn the attacks and we support resistance to threats against freedom of expression. There is no laughter today at Unhinged Magazine.  

Have you had enough of holiday madness? Ready to get things started in a saner and more productive way? It’s a new year and most people have resolutions that they swear they’re going to keep this time. However, making resolutions is not the only way to start the new year. Here are some suggestions that can help you start 2015 on the right foot. 1.- Clean your house and put things away. This is a good way to set up the tone for the rest of the year. It will make you feel like everything is in order and will allow you to do other activities around the house more easily. 2.- Get rid of things you don’t use. This can be done together with...

Last year, I waited until the last minute to decide what to do for New Year’s Eve. At about 10 PM on December 31st, my best friend and I went to a city nearby expecting to find its square full of people celebrating. When we arrived there, we found out that everything was closed and that people were leaving. So we drove back home. At about midnight, as we passed through a very small town on the way home, we saw some fireworks. I stopped the car to see them, but there were very few and lasted only a few minutes. That’s how I started 2014. I felt very disappointed. I thought the occasion was special and that I had somehow missed...

Last year I wrote an article about ways to make Christmas less commercial, and our audience liked it so much that I decided to write about more ways to put a little more magic and a little less marketing in this season. If you are looking for a way to show your love to your friends, family, or special one this Christmas that doesn’t involve buying stuff at a mall. This is the article for you. 1.- Offer yourself as an assistant for one day. Just what it sounds like. This gift is specially useful for young people without a job and without income, but with plenty of time during the holidays. However, it is also a good one for couples,...

To keep our blog sites free from the countless hordes of computer ninjas, we do our best to protect our work from unwanted intruders who live deep in their momma’s basement and would destroy us for the price of a Yoo-hoo and a package of Slim Jims. Turn your back for one minute and the locusts descend in full force. They are called, “Comment Spams.” Comment Spams are fake comments attached to your blog post. Their only purpose is to get a response. If you do respond, they now have your name, your email, and the IP Address of where you sent it from. It’s added to a list that’s sold in the hacker domain. They’ll then...

My American Lit prof is one of those braniac guys, even though he’s only like two years older than me and is always saying stuff like, “Even fiction is fiction,” which is hard for me to get, because what else could it be? But I think it actually makes sense, because he’s a postmodernist. And some other post something I can’t exactly remember. And he’s pretty skinny, and his skin’s so pale it reminds me of cookie-dough ice cream—it’s what some of my friends call a library tan. But one of the things I wrote down in my notes is there’s no significant division between so-called “high” art and “low” art (which surprised me because at first I...

When Jesus first appeared in New York City, no one paid him any attention. When he appeared in Cairo, it came about with the same result. However, when he simultaneously appeared in Chicago, London, Madrid, Beijing, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Melbourne and Miami, people began to take notice and ask questions. The questions weren’t enough, though, especially since only one man had the answers—and he wasn’t raising his voice in the din to admit to anything. Also, the questions did not come soon enough. It became evident very quickly that the Jesus delusion was not isolated to one person in this locale and another person in another city. It...

We all know that companies want you to buy their stuff, even if you don’t need it.  We have learned to mistrust them, which is why corporations have changed their standards and become more ethical in their advertising, in order to adapt to the integrity that customers demand. Just kidding, they know you don’t want to buy their stuff, so they have to fool you into buying it by mistake. Here are a few examples. 1. Offering “Free” subscriptions that you have to pay later. This one is popular among online services. For example, you are offered a “free” package that includes access to certain video game...

Love stinks. It smells like pee. At least it did that summer evening when my friend was riding the subway under the streets of Mexico City where nearly twenty-nine million people scurried overhead. He’d been alone in his seat for some time when a wall-eyed young man, as torn and disordered as yesterday’s newspaper, wandered down the aisle. They glanced at each other and my offered the apparently homeless man a smile. That was invitation enough. The raggedy man swung into the seat next to my friend and began an animated conversation in a language so garbled that not a word could be understood. It was obvious he had a disability and perhaps...
