Click-bait headlines suck though.

You'd think that she'd have left after a few months (if real).... or, at least, wiped that last little bit of blood off off her nose after 13 days straight at the end there (at least the make up artist could have caught it). I get what they were going for, but they should have used real victims if they wanted it to resonate more.

I agree, David Bleecher. But, while I've been to Croatia, I don't know the culture that well. Maybe there's a stigma against women who leave relationships, especially if they're married. Or maybe this was done with makeup to demonstrate a year of living with an abusive partner. Regardless, the video project is profound.

I agree, the message is definitely powerful, but I think that they had an opportunity to hit home (no pun intended) by finishing with 365 real victims... you know like a multipanel pan out shot, or something of the like. I don't know the culture, either, maybe the consequences for leaving are worse than those of staying.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
