| It's Official: Florida Sucks! |
[Apr. 3rd, 2008|09:00 pm] |
You know that Bugs Bunny cartoon where he saws Florida off of of the continent and lets it drift away? Can we just do that? In fact, let's just divide the land at the Ohio River and let everyone south of there live in the wacky Bible Belt paradise that they've always wanted.
Anyhoo, did you hear about the WWE "controversy" that occurred in Florida? This is just plain dumb.
WWE Nipplegate
Okay, kids. For a long time, I’ve been saying how stupid it is that we can pretty much show any part of the female mammary glands (more popularly known as tits, fun bags, and boobs), but you can’t show the nipple. Now that’s kind of dumb, because there’s nothing immediately offensive about the nipple. I mean, it’s just a nipple. But then again, we still live in a world of male chauvinistic double standards, where we have to make the women feel ashamed of their natural bodies, but not the men.
Well, the state of Florida says, "You know what, Neil? You're right!". So, Mayor Douchebag McCheese of Orlando, Florida, host of last Sunday's Wrestlemania, demanded that WWE had to airbrush out ALL OF THE MALE NIPPLES from all Wrestlemania banners.

WhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhyWHY?!!?!?!? Why do we live in a world of prudes that get all bent out of shape over such trivial things?! They're just NIPPLES!
And speaking of getting bent, I guaran-fucking-tee you that there were repressed homosexual desires involved in this decision. Some homophobe in the mayor's office clearly was becoming self-conscious about the boner he kept popping everytime he looked at a Wrestlemania billboard on his way to work. |

Elephants have been trained to carry cameras into the wild to capture pictures of tigers. The elephants carry around cameras disguised as rocks and logs and are tought to place the strategically. Since tigers are used to cohabitating with elephants, the BBC has been able to get video of tigers behaving in the wild in ways that they normally wouldn't with humans nearby.
I don't know if this program will be playing in the states, but I'll keep my eye out for it.
Something else cool, a recording that predates Edison has been discovered.

Well, I don't know what was more exciting last night, the lunar eclipse or the Navy shooting down an old spy satellite. No wait... it was definitely the satellite, but I had to settle for the moon.
But if you missed both, you might have seen John Stewart on Larry King last night. That was amusing. I caught the replay.
Hey, speaking of political crap, is Huck still not giving up? That guy just doesn't know when to quit. No really... he doesn't know when the quit. Give up, already, man. Your idea of shutting down the IRS sounds really cool and all, but we all know you're not going to do that. Besides, a man who does not even understand basic science (and is therefore unfit to teach the young) has not business running for public office.
Oh, and did you hear about that John McCain article this morning in the New York Times? I haven't read it. Something about a female aid and doing favors. I don't know. Sounds very tabloidy and scandally and therefore not worthy of too much attention. ...at least not for right now.
But I predict that it'll end up being true, anyway. |

Someone asked me, "What don't you like about John Edwards?". I'm like, "Pardon me?". "Your MySpace page says you want to slap John Edward". And I'm like, "OH NONONONONO!! I don't want to slap former Presidential candidate John Edwards. I want to slap John EDWARD, the TV medium." Big difference.
And SPEAKING of Presidential candidates, I'm not particularly excited about any of the candidates this year, although I guess if it came down to a race between John McCain and Barrock Obama, I could sleep easier at night.
McCain is such a moderate conservative that he basically sticks to the Republican issues that I actually like without trying to establish a theocracy. I mean, less government? Yeah, I can go along with that.
You know why I like McCain? Because Bill O'Reilly thinks he's a liberal.
And I must admit that I'm a huge sucker for the nicey-nice grandfatherly demeanor of McCain. I think if there was any candidate I could sit down with and not immediately launch into a hyperbole of dissident badgering, it would be McCain. I mean, sure, he's got stupid ideas, but he does it in that gosh darn, sweet-old-man-set-in-his-ways sort of way.
And of course, Obama's policies are probably the least offensive of all, so I'm cool with him. I'm really crossing my fingers (yes, I know that doesn't work) that Hillary doesn't win the nomination.
As long as that xenophobic nazi Huckabee stands no chance of being Pres, I'll be just fine.
I'd be amused if Romney got elected, if for no other reason than the fact that he pretty much pisses everyone off, and nobody has the balls to say why. The moment I knew that his religious views had the potential to piss off candidates on both sides, I knew he was my distant third. I don't really want Romney to win, mind you, but my god is it fun having him around!
Remember when that race-baiting scumbag Al Sharpton was having that debate with Mr. Neil's 2007 Man of the Year Christopher Hitchens, and he implied that Mit Romney, a Mormon, doesn't really believe in God? Yeah, that was great.
Of course, who would I actually vote for? I dunno. Is it too late to vote I Go Pogo? |

Heith Ledger was found dead just a few hours ago.
His final role will be as the Joker in the next Batman movie due out later this year. Supposedly, all of his scenes have been completed.
Too young. Way too young. |
