Seriously?!

May 29, 2009

Look at this game.

RapeLay

You saw that right. We’re talking about a real video game where the object of the game is to capture and rape girls. Think about that for a moment. I’m just speechless.

The game is sold in Japan (cue common vehement question “What the FUCK is wrong with Japan?!”) and trying to come to the United States. Of course, there’s a buttload of controversy over that.

But regardless of what happens involving whether the game is banned and where, there’s a bigger thing to wonder here, though I suppose the answer to that wonderment is the usual “humanity is just that fucked up”.

Don’t Just Ban… BURN!

May 20, 2009

Here, read this.

:dubious:

Yup. Some Wisconsin library got bullied into banning certain books, as well as firing the library board members who dissented. Let’s have a look.

On Monday night, The West Bend Common Council voted for a second time not to reinstate four members of the library board because of their views. The Council upheld its April 21st decision because of the board members’ refusal to remove controversial books from the young adult section of the library prior to a formal review.

Oh, heavens, how dare those horrid rogue board members have such reprehensible views that, oh, library censorship is bad! Not like a library is supposed to be a house of information and knowledge or anything. Libraries are supposed to be, uh, well… I’m not sure exactly. Considering it would have only some info and not others. (Maybe something along the lines of a youth rights organization’s casualty list. That’s right. I went there.) :cute:

The board members are accused of promoting “the overt indoctrination of the gay agenda.”

And that would be…? It’s always some vaguely defined “agenda”. Gay agenda. Liberal agenda. Doesn’t mean anything but used to stir the unwitting ignorami of the world into a frenzy of paranoia. Of course, if their idea of a “gay agenda” involves such horrible things like treating gay people as equals and not beating the shit out of a guy for wearing pink, then I hope paranoia is the least of what they are beset with. How dare these rogue board members be tolerant of others! The nerve!

Brian Loves Lois

March 23, 2009

So for perhaps the billionth time, the Family Guy episode “Brian in Love” was on the other night. From the second season, the episode begins with Stewie allegedly having a problem peeing all over the house, and no one believes him when he denies it. We soon learn it’s actually Brian the dog doing it involuntarily and allowing Stewie to take the blame. This is revealed when he pees in front of them at a supermarket, so he is sent to a psychiatrist after it’s apparently determined the problem isn’t physical. The shrink suggests Brian go out and see the world, which he does and the problem seems solved! But Stewie’s annoyed for taking the blame before, so he pees all over the house for real, and sure enough Brian takes the blame, and he laments that he doesn’t even remember doing it. So he returns to the shrink where Brian mentions a time Peter and Lois were getting romantic with each other, so when Brian describes Lois some more after the shrink asks him to, the shrink tells him it means he must be in love with her, and when Brian denies it, the shrink says “who are you trying to convince, me or you?” at which point Brian is convinced it is true. So he tries to come on to Lois, and fails miserably, but Stewie notices what’s happening and decides to troll him with it by pretending to be all affectionate with his mother. Brian decides he’d better confront Lois, and she picks up on what’s happening and tells him their friendship is great and there’s no reason for anything more, and Brian seems satisfied with that.

Bishop Excommunicates Mother and Doctors of 9yo Girl’s Abortion

:dubious:

Basically, a 9-year-old girl in Brazil was raped by her stepfather, and she got pregnant with twins. Doctors determined she wouldn’t be able to survive the pregnancy so they had to terminate it to save her life. Even to prolifers like me, sounds reasonable. Rape and the mother’s life being on the line are generally the exceptions to the “abortion is wrong” idea, and this is clearly both. Unfortunate, yes, but obviously necessary, and honestly, there is just all around nothing whatsoever fortunate about this situation.

Mmmm, Candy Hearts 4

February 14, 2009

Another Valentine’s Day has come upon us, so here is another lecture for all you semi-happy couples out there for you to know that YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG!!!

Why? Because you people can’t just simply let the relationship be one part of your lives. You seem to think you have to give your entire life to the relationship! And when you do that, you’re going to have a bad time.

For example, if your significant other is a vegetarian, do you feel obligated to become one yourself (whether or not your partner requests it)? If your answer to that question is yes, then YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

fye on Them!

December 20, 2008

So I was just Christmas shopping today at the mall, and sure enough, I’m walking by the f.y.e. and what do I see there to annoy me but a taped up sign saying “All f.y.e customers under age 15 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.”

Ugh. So, I then had to abandon my Christmas shopping for a bit and go out to my car to get my trusty flyer about how age discrimination is illegal in Maryland. I returned to the store to try to talk to an employee about it and get them to remove the sign.

What the Swear Is this Curse?

December 13, 2008

Now for a profane, wicked version of…

YOU SUCK!!!!

These morons all over the place who are whiny crying idiots over so-called swear words. Oh noes, don’t use such language on TV or in public, because people might be offended.

Does it offend you? If not, then you are at least marginally respectable. If so, GOOD! You deserve to be offended, dumbass. If you’re going to give mere words and sounds so much power over you, you deserve to be miserable over it. The rest of us will carry on happily.

Tower of Terror

December 7, 2008

I was on vacation in Disney World a few weeks ago, visited all four of its parks during the trip. Second day I was at the Hollywood Studios park (formerly MGM) and went to ride the Tower of Terror and Aerosmith’s Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. The Aerosmith ride line was kind of long so I instead kept going through the Tower of Terror, with a much shorter and faster moving line. (Also helped that going to Disney World in November is like the best time since there are significantly fewer people than other times of the year!)

Tower of Terror is basically your average 12-story drop ride. But it’s like a spooky hotel and a haunted elevator, made out to be like a Twilight Zone episode. Pretty cool.

You Scream, I Don’t

December 4, 2008

What’s with people who scream? I don’t mean in like major anger or pain or terror. Just in general.

I was in Walt Disney World a few weeks ago, riding all the awesome rides like normal, and sure enough you’ve got chicks screaming their heads off during the ride. Don’t really get it.

I don’t scream. I’m trying to enjoy a ride and don’t fancy giving myself a sore throat. Is screaming supposed to be fun? I’ve tried it. Not for me.

You people are crazy. And noisy!

Three Square Meals

December 3, 2008

Whose dumbass idea was it that we have to eat three full-sized meals per day, whereas snacking is discouraged?

You know who has the right idea? The Greeks. And some other Mediterranean cultures (take your pick, very little difference). Specifically the concept of “mezze”. They’re like appetizers, but a lot of them, different ones. Some dolmathakia here. Some melitzanosalata and some pita bread there… Okay, fine, rather, some stuffed grape leaves here and some eggplant dip with pita bread there… *mutters something about uncultured swine*
