A Scottish PUA who calls himself Addy A-Game — real name Adnan Ahmed — has been sentenced to two years behind bars for threatening and harassing behavior towards women while he tried to pick them up on the streets of Glasgow.
“Addy,” 38, is best known for filming his unfortunate targets as he approached them and putting the videos up on YouTube. He was arrested earlier this year after he and his, er, seduction techniques were featured on the BBC.
Some of his more sophisticated techniques included “following girls less than half his age down isolated lanes” and “grabbing women and trying to kiss them,” according to testimony at his trial. He also posted videos about how to overcome so-called “last minute resistance” to sex.
More details here.

That’s a good start.
Maybe Roosh can be next. Roosh has admitted to raping multiple women and deserves to go away for a long time.
I wonder what this fellow thought about vacuum cleaners and ovulation.
Hello David,
Thanks for your continued reporting. The misogyny and entitlement of MRA whack jobs is amazing.
Here is another hateful post by an MRA group:

(Trigger warning, misogyny, whorophobia)
I’m sure he’ll do so well in prison, where the inmates take a dim view of sexual abusers of the under-age, and where quite a few of them are victims of such themselves (hence, the dim view).
Or, to put it another way: Hope you brought your A-game, Addy, you’re gonna need it.
Can we avoid gloating about prison violence?
Another checkmark in the nay column for “documenting your crimes on youtube”. It seems it’s not a good idea.
Hope they could do this with Julien Blanc too.
The Game. He lost it.
hopefully this will happen to more PUAs and other abusers and rapists.
Good. Glasgow is a gorgeous city, and its ladies deserve much better.
@Amtep
And who wants to bet that if he were to be challenged on that, he would try to make a “free speech” argument?
Glad he got arrested and convicted and I hope the same would have happened if he’d been a blond guy called John.
I agree. It’s not funny that prisons are violent and that inmates suffer violence when they are already getting punishment for their crimes. It is good that he got consequences for his actions but it does not make me feel good that he is going to a place where he could be raped or abused. If we must have prisons (I think maybe I disagree) then they must be reformed. Criminals are still people and should not expeincece violence.
Huh. I’ve always wondered, if these PUA types are so great at picking up women, then why do they need to use violence to do it?
Sounds like a well-adjusted human being.
On the topic of better examples of humanity, Nunavut just got its first NDP MP, 25-year-old Mumilaaq Qaqqaq.
I don’t speak Inuktitut, so I have no idea how to pronounce her name, but with Niki Ashton re-elected in Churchill, the NDP folks left are good stock.
Oh yeah, and Charlie Dingus–er, Angus. I get that he was the ethics critic for the NDP, but he had to know that harping on the SNC-Lavalin thing was just doing the Tories’s dirty work for them. Pick your battles, Chuck.
Blah, my riding has been NDP for the vast majority of the time I’ve lived here. The Libs managed to take it last election, and managed to keep it in this one.
🙁
At least the Liberals took your riding, Jesalin. I moved from NDP stronghold New Westminster to a riding near Cloverdale/Surrey and the last election saw the Conservative candidate unseat the Liberal incumbent.
I’m no fan of the Liberals, but I’d rather them than the “Reform” Conservatives.
This is the problem with FPTP: with multiple putative “left-leaning” parties, the vote split ends up favouring the Conservatives.
PUA: “I’m being persecuted for my free speech!”
Police: “The word you’re looking for is ‘prosecuted’.”
Ew, omg ew!
Also, the CBC did a great article on how things would have turned out with electoral reform/proportional representation.

OH my goodnesssss the first sketch omggggg
(Also it’s air farce, sorry) <3
I have two days including today until the big day and I feel like im gonna throw up. To top it off both of us are sick and I think I’m losing my voice. I am very nervous right now and im either on the verg of a anxiety attack as I type this or I’m having one. I can’t tell.
*bookmarks Jesalin’s link* Neat breakdown.
*scans CBC* Great, this happened:
@Lainy
Maybe try doing something to take your mind off of it? Just try to relax and know that it’s going to go fine. We’re all by your side, and we’re sending hopes for only the best for your new marriage.
@ lainy
The only thing your friends expect from you is that you be happy on your big day. You have no obligation beyond that. So try to put all anxious thoughts aside. If it helps; imagine you were the guest, and a friend was getting hitched. What would your thoughts be towards them? You’d only wish them the best and you wouldn’t care about the presentation. Well, that’s the same for you.
@Jesalin
Wow! Thanks for that great link, Jes! It really opened my eyes and made me rethink my perspective on this subject. Admittedly, I’d love to see the NDP do better, but not at the cost of allowing the Conservatives to dominate.
I suppose I can at least be reassured that in most scenarios, the best the Conservatives would be able to pull off would be a minority government, but still…
