Thomas Edison = Douche.

So if you haven’t looked on my twitter, I explain that I hate Thomas Edison now because Assassin’s Creed 2 has made me aware of something. To try to fuck Tesla up, Edison said that AC current was dangerous, and proved it by electrocuting an elephant.

Now I’m all for science and the battles between scientists to disprove each other. I know that both Tesla and Edison did some crazy shit when they were battling. And apparently, Topsy the elephant was already supposed to be killed due to the fact that she killed 3 men and attacked her trainer multiple times. But still, you don’t electrocute an elephant. And what’s even worse is HE TAPED IT.

When Assassin’s Creed 2 started to show a clip of Electrocuting an Elephant I cringed and closed my eyes. I don’t know why this bothers me so much. Animal cruelty, and animals suffering is something that has always easily affected me. If you’re looking to piss me off, or alternatively, get me crying that is the way. The fact that Edison not only killed Topsy, but multiple animals just to prove a point is so utterly disgusting and just mind blowing that I don’t really know what else to say.

And the worst part is, in the end Tesla won anyways, so Topsy’s death was publicized for nothing.

On a side note, I’m utterly addicted to Assassin’s Creed 2. Not only is Ezio the hottest thing ever (even though Desmond looks just like Ezio, I still dislike him because he’s not really an assassin >_>), the game is just utterly addicting. I’m about half way through the game, but only because I have done all the secondary memories and gotten all the treasures that I can up to Venice. Yes, I even went back to the Mountains to get the 10ish chests that were along the path.

I’m almost done with Sky’s Content 15. I’ve done a first draft, almost done my first revision of it. I wrote about 3/4 of the chapter where this one decision that someone makes (which is VITAL to the plot) set. Then I think ‘What if they do the opposite?’ And this whole rush of inspiration came to me. Holy crap. It’s awesome. So now that plot is majorly different. Well sort of. I still do something I planned before hand, but it only takes like… 7 more chapters to get to it.

Anyways, off to sleep. I got class tomorrow. Only two more weeks of classes and I’m done until May! I’m really loving this coop thing. Man.
