6 Things Every One Direction Fan Needs To Know About Joy Division
When we saw One Direction member Louis Tomlinson wearing a Joy Division “Love Will Tear Us Apart” T-shirt at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards last Sunday, we couldn’t help but give him a little side-eye action. Have Joy Division joined Ramones as the go-to T-shirt to express how edgy and rebellious you are?
Here is Louis Tomlinson of One Direction rocking his Joy Division tee at the VMAs.
That's him on the very right.

1) "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is an undisputed classic.
This haunting ode to human heartache was the crowning moment in Joy Division's brief, yet legendary career. The 1979 song was the last single recorded by the British post-punk band and, for obvious reasons, hailed as a legend.

Mother-Daughter Crime Duo Stole More Than $1 Million Posing As Soldiers, Sentenced To At Least 12 Years In Prison
Tracy and Karen Vasseur duped hundreds into wiring money to people they thought to be U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq searching for romantic relationships. They were sentenced for the “sweetheart scam” on Wednesday, ABC News reports.
374 women looking for love on the Internet instead had their hearts broken and their bank accounts robbed by Tracey Vassuer, 40, and Karen Vassuer, 74, a mother-daughter crime duo from Colorado.
Colorado Attorney General / Via abcnews.go.com
Joan Romano, who worked in the World Trade Center and called in sick on September 11, 2001, sent $25,000 to a "staff sergeant" she admired, and whom she had met on Match.com.
Recently widowed Esther Ortiz-Rodeghero met "Wayne," a major general in Iraq, on SeniorPeopleMeet.com. After he told her he wanted to spend "the rest of his life" with her, Ortiz-Rodeghero sent him $500,000 over the course of 12 months to help him start a business.
The problem, of course, is that neither of these men existed, and the money was going to Tracey and Karen Vassuer and their Nigerian associates. Police officials suspect that neither Romano nor Ortiz-Rodeghero will get their money back.
The Vassuers managed to rope in 374 victims from over 40 countries, ultimately stealing more than $1 million, accord to Colorado Attorney General John W. Suthers.
The New York Daily News reports:
The bogus dating service operated this way: After establishing an Internet relationship, the fake soldier would start asking that money be sent to an "agent" in Colorado, via Western Union or Money Gram, to pay for satellite phones or travel expenses so the military member could speak directly to his new girlfriend or take leave to visit her in person.
The mother-daughter team opened 20 bank accounts, and from 2009 to 2012, they wired money to 94 locations in Nigeria, as well as to locations in the United States, Ecuador, Great Britain, India, and the United Arab Emirates, according to the indictment. Tracey also used her 16 year old daughter to send and receive money.
Colorado Attorney General Suthers said that exploiting the military led to particularly harsh sentences.
Tracey was sentenced to 15 years in jail with five years parole, and her mother was sentenced to 12 years in jail and five years parole. The attorney general's office announced that a hearing to determine restitution is forthcoming.

"Othello-The Remix" Is The Hip Hop Version Of A Shakespeare Classic Striking A Chord With Inmates
“Othello never knew, he was getting schemed on by a member of his crew.”
The Associated Press reports, "Othello: The Remix" is the brainchild of two Chicago brothers and rappers — GQ and JQ, aka Gregory and Jeffrey Qaiyum.
They wrote and directed the show, honing 40 or so drafts over eight months into a 75-minute rhyme-a-thon. It's their third hip-hop translation of Shakespeare, following "The Bomb-itty of Errors" and "Funk It Up About Nothin.'"

Saban is a short, smug, miserable asshole — college football's slightly more personable Bill Belichick. He complained that winning the National Championship cost him a week of recruiting. He quit on the Miami Dolphins. He's also won three National Championships in the past six years, making him the undisputed best coach in college football. Nevertheless...he doesn't rub our noses in his trophy case. He's a tough son of a bitch, like a football coach is supposed to be.
