Most people are content to drift through life, never questioning the established order. Some men are stronger than that, though. They refuse to submit. These men take a stand for what is right and just. They are the heroes, the legends, that singlehandedly turn the tide of history.
All they need is a cause.
Google/AFPNorwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik threatened to go on hunger strike for better video games and other perks to alleviate his "torture"-like prison conditions, in a letter received by AFP Friday.
The right-wing extremist -- who killed 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage on July 22, 2011 -- enclosed a typed list of 12 demands sent to prison authorities in November.
He described as "torture" the conditions in two prisons -- Ila near Oslo and Skien in southeast Norway -- where he is serving out a 21-year sentence.
...[Breivik] demanded the replacement of a PlayStation 2 games console for a more recent PS3 "with access to more adult games that I get to choose myself..."
"Other inmates have access to adult games while I only have the right to play less interesting kids games. One example is "Rayman Revolution", a game aimed at three year olds," wrote the 35-year-old convicted killer.

Sometimes, you just have to kill nearly 80 people before the casuals will listen.
Mr. Breivik's other demands include a larger weekly allowance ($49/week evidently just isn't enough) and access to a PC (Mr. Breivik is evidently a member of more than one "Master Race"), along with a comfier chair, because it stands to reason that mass murderers should be afforded every convenience possible.
So, while you bend to the whims of your masters, think of Mr. Breivik and his brave struggle in the face of adversity. Admire his tenacity and his resolve. Remember his message: You can arrest me, you can lock me up, but nothing can trample my spirit... except Rayman Revolutions, of course.
