In this pod, Brad removes all of his piercings, including his beloved earplugs and heads to the plastic surgeon to have his earlobes sewn shut.

Can I have my Picassos back? Heirs want New York museums to return paintings
The heirs of German-Jewish banker Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy are demanding that New York's most important museums, the MoMA and Guggenheim, return two Picassos. Now the museums are fighting back claiming that they are now the rightful owners.
Until 1935, Jewish banker Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy owned several paintings by Pablo Picasso. Now, Julius Schoeps, 66, and 26 other heirs would like to see the art works returned to them.
Last autumn his lawyer Byrne asked the MoMa to hand over "Boy Leading a Horse" and made a request to the Guggenheim Museum to return the oil painting "Le Moulin de la Galette." No museum director would ever sell these works, and it is really impossible to put a value on them, although Byrne has estimated that each painting is worth $200 million (£134 million).
The fight for the painting began five years ago, when an art historian told Schoeps that his great uncle used to own a spectacular art collection. Schoeps did not realize it and neither did anyone in his family. It was the first time that Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's descendents had heard that he had once owned five Picassos.
Schoeps did some research and found out that Meldessohn-Bartholdy had sold the pictures to an American collector after Adolf Hitler had become chancellor and his assets as a Jewish banker had decreased rapidly. He also claims that the sale was part of a typical "persecution agreement" which were used to keep works of art out of the grasp of the Nazi regime. However, the question of whether Mendelssohn-Bartholdy sold under pressure from the Nazis is one that has since become the focus of a bitter dispute.
Instead of discussing the issue with the heirs or their lawyer, both of the New York museums promptly rejected the claims and filed for declatory relief at the end of last year. Their lawyers are now requesting that the United States District Court in New York declare the museums the paintings' rightful owners. The lawyers are currently taking depositions from witnesses and in the autumn the official hearing will begin. The heirs of German-Jewish banker Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy are demanding that New York's most important museums, the MoMA a... more -
New game enemy takes a solid day to defeat
Players pass out, get sick during extreme battle.

If it's good enough for Cartman, it's good enough for Square-Enix.
The developers of the online role-playing game Final Fantasy XI seemingly borrowed a page from the Emmy-winning South Park episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" by updating the game with one of the longest - and most physically grueling - video game fights ever. Introduced in the game's latest downloadable update, the boss monster "Pandemonium Warden" remained perfectly fit after a group of high-level adventurers wailed away at it nonstop for over 18 hours straight.
FINAL FANTASY XI SCREENS
Though the seemingly unbeatable boss will not prevent people from 'completing' the game -- persistent online games typically do not "end" like most single-player games -- it has sparked debate over what exactly the game's developers, Square-Enix, expect out of their devoted fan base. Message boards have lit up with disgruntled players calling out the company for failing to respect its very own in-game warning telling players they have "no desire to see your real life suffer as a consequence [of playing]. Don't forget your friends, your family, your school or your work."
Easy for them to say. While the beast continually healed, the gamers weren't so lucky.
"People were passing out and getting physically ill," leaders of the player guild said in a forum post. "We decided to end it before we risked turning into a horrible news story about how video games ruin people's lives."
Too late. Players pass out, get sick during extreme battle. By Ben Silverman ADVERTISEMENT ... more -

Georgia-Russia conflict predicted ... In a video game
The South Ossetia war, which began on August 7, bears a close resemblance to events portrayed in the 2001 Xbox and Playstation 2 game "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon," the first level of which takes place against the backdrop of a struggle between Georgian rebel forces and the legitimate Georgian government in the South Ossetian region.
Ghost Recon's plot follows these skirmishes with a full-scale Russian invasion of the region, a subsequent evacuation of US forces, and ultimately the fall of the Georgian government. Ghost Recon almost got the timescale right, too: the game's imaginary events begin in April 2008, just a few months before the real war The South Ossetia war, which began on August 7, bears a close resemblance to events portrayed in the 2001 Xbox and Playstation 2 game ... more -
