A live webcam stream with speakers located in an alley popular with drug dealers which allows viewers to donate to play sounds went entirely expected when users began making the speakers play racist messages.

Called ‘Window of Life’ – the YouTube stream allows users who donate $5 dollars to play a brief audio clip of whatever they choose which is then broadcast outside a window onto the crack alley.

While many users chose to play snippets of bizarre music and other random sounds, numerous others hijacked the stream to racially abuse whoever was within earshot.

Most of the abuse was focused around prolific use of the n-word, while another message encouraged anyone who could hear it to physically assault minorities in the name of Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler.

“Guy sets up a cam and speakers in a crack alley and lets viewers donate to play sounds, what could go wrong?” joked one Twitter user.

The channel responsible for the stream, Keegle Weegle, emphasized, “I do not support the views of the people who donate.”

The stream still remains live on YouTube.

A TV show in South Korea reunited a mother with her deceased 7-year-old daughter via a virtual reality recreation in what some observers thought was a dystopian and exploitative move.

A clip from the show Meeting You features the mother, wearing a VR headset and touch-sensitive gloves, walking around a green screen set and interacting with a 3D representation of her daughter.

The two are able to engage in a limited form of conversation as the mother caresses the representation of her daughter while crying.

The situation is similar in some ways to a plot from the popular dystopian TV series Black Mirror.

In an episode entitled Be Right Back, a young woman’s boyfriend is killed in a car accident and she decides to replace him with an android clone by having her boyfriend’s AI personality downloaded into the robot’s body.

While this woman’s VR interaction with a graphical representation of her dead daughter is a long way off that, it’s almost as creepy.

As Kotaku’s Luke Plunkett points out, no one would have an issue with it if the interaction helped the mother get over her grief, but the fact that the whole thing is being broadcast for the consumption of TV viewers makes it somewhat suspect.

“Having some code pretend to be a living thing that she loved might only add to the trauma. Only time, and research, will tell,” comments Plunkett, adding, “Whatever the long-term moral and ethical questions are that we’re going to have to face, this is extremely fucked up.”

Two videos have emerged showing Chinese people eating bats as experts say the coronavirus currently sweeping the country may have spread to humans from snakes or bats.

One clip shows a young woman at a restaurant holding a bat with chopsticks as she bites into its wing.

“Eat the meat! [Don’t] eat the skin,” shouts a man in the background. “[You] should eat the meat on its back.”

#ChinaPneumonia —
TERRIFYING #bat-eating Chinese woman..

Back in 2003, the GLOBAL outbreak of #SARS killed more than 8,000 people. #Bat, civet cats are believed to be the origin of #virus 🦠.#WuhanCoronavirus #coronavirus #China #WuhanPneumonia 🇨🇳pic.twitter.com/xZqGlkU44d

The bat had been dunked in a large bowl of soup in the middle of the table. Lovely.

Another video shows a cooked bat with what appears to be a grin on its face dumped in a bowl of broth.

“[After] experiencing this matter, can Chinese people give up eating wildlife?” asked the blogger who posted the video.

这东西长得像不像死神躺在你碗里？之前看纪录片，蝙蝠生活在山洞里，就地排泄，山洞里积了厚厚一层粪便，粪便里生活着各种恶心的虫子…经历这次事件能让中国人彻底放弃吃野味吗？ pic.twitter.com/6mNQmBWCpi

Another video shows a Chinese person eating baby rats that are still alive. He even dunks them in a sauce. Gross.

Eating rats is quite common in some cities in China. Rats, Bats, Cats, Dogs, Insects…….creatures having wings, legs are eatable for some Chinese people. They don't fear souls or upcoming damage which may terror the world! 在中国有些地方吃老鼠是常见的。 #coronavirus pic.twitter.com/ZWaMqBjIuW

Chinese people consume bats, and even bat poop, because they believe it has medicinal properties that can treat malaria, gonorrhea and eye diseases.

However, bat soup is known to be a popular dish in Wuhan, where the coronavirus outbreak originated, and scientists say that the virus shares a strain of virus found in bats.

According to China Science Bulletin, the new virus could have been passed from bats to humans.

This serves as a reminder that despite the current push by the media to normalize the consumption of all kinds of weird things, from worms to crickets, sometimes it can be incredibly dangerous.

As I highlight in the video below, one of the dominant arguments is based in cultural relativism; The notion that because people from other cultures think it’s normal that we should embrace it too.

Some Chinese people think eating dogs is normal too. They also eat chicken’s heads and, even at the risk of infection, bats and bat poop.

Some cultures are better than others.
