Yes, I'm aware this isn't relevant to anything, but it makes me happy somehow.

Hampton Drill Sergeant Forces Trainees To Dress Like Superman And Perform Sex Acts

A drill sergeant at Fort Eustis in Hampton is accused of forcing a male trainee to dress as Superman and submit to sexual acts.

Officials say Army Staff Sergeant Edmundo Estrada also faces charges of indecent assault, having an inappropriate relationship with a trainee, and cruelty and maltreatment of subordinates. The 35-year-old was arraigned in January and is scheduled to appear April 17 in a military court. He remains on active duty but is no longer a drill sergeant.

A search warrant affidavit filed in Hampton Circuit Court says officials began investigating Estrada in August after a soldier reported Estrada mistreated and sexually assaulted him.

The soldier told Estrada that he felt depressed after being relieved of his training status, and said Estrada suggested "a technique that he had used previously to help soldiers with their self-confidence and alleviate depression."

The soldier said he eventually was forced to "dress in a 'Superman' or similar outfit" while Estrada performed sexual acts on him.

Having read this story again, it's now absolutely killing me to not know what "similar outfits" means. Was there a whole closet of superhero garb?!?

What I'm wondering is if he continued with these acts after the first time.

The fact that John Travolta even wakes up every day and leaves his house is a noble act. The look in his eyes is like...is like the void in the center of a hollow chocolate Easter bunny. Yeah.

Also, I believe this clip of a woman from Istanbul passionately singing The Smiths should be used to end racism forever.
