Orphaned Land has been confirmed for German metal mecca Wacken in 2010. Bands this year include Iron Maiden, one of Orphaned Land’s greatest influences.

Says Kobi Farhi, “We’re happy to be playing this year. It’s been 4 years since the last time, and it’ll be the first time for most of us to see Maiden with Bruce. Be sure the OL gang is gonna kick the stage and party with the crowd at the Iron show.”

Russian Vodka Label keeping the Jewish blood libel alive… (thanks Mobius1ski!)

“A short time ago the company “EZ Protocols” announced a start-up of vodka brand that is called “Kabbalah vodka – with Christian infants” – the newest quality benchmark on the super premium segment of the Russian market. The vodka is expected to have a distinguished wheat flavor. Special water, enriched in silver, gold and platinum ions along with neat and stylish design will bring anyone back to the best traditions of a ritual table. As a present, every bottle has a unique handmade infant inside, which is made of fortified glass.”
