Horrible Syrian leader secretly buys horrible songs on iTunes
Bashar al-Assad

Murderous Syrian despot Bashar al-Assad doesn't spend ALL his time brutally killing his own citizens. The UK Guardian obtained a trove of emails from the personal accounts of Assad and his wife, including correspondence that uncovers his questionable music taste. Assad's recent iTunes purchases, using an assumed name and address, include LMFAO's \"Sexy and I Know It,\" Right Said Fred's \"Don't Talk Just Kiss\" and Blake Shelton's \"God Gave Me You,\" which he sent to his wife Asma.

Gawker created a Spotify playlist of Assad's tunes \"if you want to know what pure evil sounds like.\"

Should there be an intervention in Syria?
