Hitler reacts…

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

This article covers the “Hitler reacts” saga. The director and the fans don’t want the YouTube video parodies taken down and the company which owns the copyright and the ADL do want them taken down. It really proves that head of the Anti-Defamation League has no sense of humor:

“We find them offensive,” he said of the parodies. “We feel that they trivialise not only the Holocaust but the second world war. Hitler is not a cartoon character.”

It trivializes him? I thought it insulted him. I mean, what about Hitler reacts to Wolfenstein 3-D? Here the troops he leads are so incompetent that they can’t guard one guy who kills 300 guards and runs off with 3 tons of gold. He then can’t even beat him with his mecha-suit on. In which case, Hitler was a cartoon character in a video game…

Maybe next, the ADL can focus their attention on the horrible website Cats That Look Like Hitler.

I dare you to find anything better.

I dare you to find a better, more awesome picture of Santa Claus. I doubt you could find it. This is the single greatest picture taken of him ever and I want this picture blown up to like 10×8 (I mean 10 foot by 8 foot) and when I get my own place some day. I’ll hang this picture on the front of my garage so that everyone can see it when they drive by.

Well that sucked.

Iowa lost. I’m 0-3 lifetime at Hawkeye games. I’m starting to think I’m really unlucky. Actually it’s all Jennie’s fault. She should have bought tickets for last weeks game. Stanzi got hurt. There goes their chances. Unless Vandenberg can really step up next week at Ohio State.

Also, what’s the deal with scams? I got one of those scam emails in my hotmail account and I was just amazed at it. It’s so obviously a scam. It just makes them look incredibly lazy. Nigeria, still? It’s probably been over a decade by now. You’d think they’d find some other country to latch on to and try to scam people from. Also, how many different former Finance Ministers who have been able to get 20 million US but can’t get it out themselves do they think we would believe there are?

But ya know what? It’s probably still working. I mean, if it wasn’t would they even bother sending out all those emails with pretty much the same story with different names? There just aren’t enough people who ever heard or believe the phrase “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

The Star Wars Holiday Special.

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I finally watched it tonight. It really is one of those things you have to experience in its sheer awfulness. Chewbacca was married. As Mary Jo Pehl once pointed out, it’s proof that “everyone is in a relationship but me”. Also, Chewbacca has a son. Basically the entire show is just about his family. Sure, Mark Hammil, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher were in it too, but they were mostly cameos. Also it had Art Carny, Bea Arthur and Jefferson Starship. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a band called Jefferson Starship. I guess the 70′s were a long time ago. I mean, when they made this, it was a year before the Pirates won their last World Series.

And out of the main three characters, Harrison Ford looked somewhat normal. Just a guy in a bad movie because of his contract. Carrie Fisher looked stoned out of her mind the whole time and Mark Hammil’s face was covered in so much makeup that you could mistake him for someone else. Then there was the famous cartoon that introduced Boba Fett. It was actually kind lame. I mean he’s supposed to be working for Vader, but he ends up saving Luke and Han and then taking off when they find out what he’s up to. And it’s hard to tell if the cartoon itself was supposed to be official canon or just a cartoon.

The funniest part about the show was that the version on Google Video had a bunch of 70′s commercials. It seemed like a large majority of them were made for women in their mid-30′s, the typical Star Wars crowd, I guess, including an odd panty-hose commercial where the woman showed how good the crotch was.

Bad stuff, but good bad stuff. And Iowa won again to get their record up to 8-0. Yeah. Awesome.

TWINS WIN! and some other stuff.

Yeah, that was a great game tonight. Alexi Casilla with the walk off single. Man, that should be familiar to Tigers manager Jim Leyland by now. Some no-name utility guy getting a walk off single to win a playoff game. I’m sure old Jimmy Leyland is sick of that by now. As much as SI made a big fuss about the big spending Tigers, it was the shrewd, intelligent fiscally responsible Twins that won that game and are going to beat the Yankees in the ALDS…

So the other stuff, I was at Despair.com a few weeks ago, a great website with all sorts of funny “demotivational” posters. The opposite of those motivational posters that say stuff like “PERSISTENCE: Challenges are what makes life interesting, overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” Yeah, boring stuff. Despair makes posters just like them, only with dry, funny stuff like “QUALITY: The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it’s more like a death march.” I bought a calendar with 12 of them. It’s awesome. Totally worth it to replace the Pirates calendar I bought last year. I mean, the Pirates calendar is so worthless, 8 of the 12 players in it are playing for other teams now…

Pope Bill Donahue, still a moron.

Ugh.

Jillette lied about a 1962 Vatican document—it was a statement about penalties for priests who used the confessional to solicit sex: it was not a cover-up for sexual misconduct!

Wow, talk about contradictions. Isn’t soliciting sex in the confessional sexual misconduct, moron? Especially for an order of priest that are supposed to be celibate?

He lied about Pope Benedict XVI—he had absolutely nothing to do with overseeing cases of priestly sexual misconduct in the United States!

That’s not what Fox News reports:

The lawsuit cites a May 18, 2001, letter from Ratzinger written in Latin to bishops around the world, explaining that “grave” crimes such as the sexual abuse of minors would be handled by his congregation and that the proceedings of special church tribunals handling the cases were subject to “pontifical secret.”

Daniel Shea, attorney for one of the plaintiffs, has said such secret proceedings amounted to a conspiracy to cover up the crimes.

And this is Fox News reporting this, ya know, the “fair and balanced News network”. Sounds like he was in it up to his neck, unless Donahue’s calling Fox news liars…

Spokesmen for Catholics for Choice, SNAP and Dignity—three anti-Catholic groups that lie about their Catholic status—twisted, distorted and ridiculed Church teachings on sexuality.

Attacking SNAP, an organization that doesn’t even claim to be Catholic on their website that spends its time helping people who were sexually abused by religious figure heads as children. Nice research, dumb ass. As for Catholics for Choice and Dignity, both groups claim to be Catholics and are free to say whatever they want. He sure doesn’t seem to concerned in to pointing out what exactly the “twisted, distorted and ridiculed Church teachings on sexuality” was exactly. He just said it and therefore, it must be true.

I have asked to meet with Les Moonves of CBS.

I’m betting Les Moonves will have something better to do than listening to a lying scumbag like Bill Donahue. He has a real job, unlike Mr. Donahue.

Rookies FTW!

Yeah! Garrett Jones and Andrew McCutchen wins the game for the Pirates tonight. Won against another ROY candidate in Phillies pitcher J.A. Happ. Also Denny Bautista just went out there and shut ‘em down late in the game. Charlie Morton had a pretty good start, he didn’t get the win but he did his job after a little shaky start. Charlie Morton isn’t much of an interview. They had one on the post game show and he just seemed like a dear in the headlight with every question. Oh well, shutting down the best hitting team in the NL is no easy task and he did it, he doesn’t need to be a good interview.

In other news, sorta….

Today, I was told by the man to go pick up some fuses at Radio Shack. Before going to Radio Shack, I searched the Radio Shack (or is it just The Shack now?) website for these fuses to make sure they had them at the store. I did this so that if they didn’t have them, I could find another store in town that would have them. I found the kind I wanted 4 AMP, 125 Volt.

So I went there, found them, bought them and returned home with them. I told the other man tonight during work that I did that. He seemed confused as to why I would go on the internet first and how I would know if they had the right size and all that. I just said I wanted to make sure they were there and if they were in the store.

Also Penn and Teller did a great Bullshit episode, their finale for the season, on the bullshit of the Vatican and some of the crap they’ve done to protect their child predator priests which includes President Bush giving the Pope immunity from criminal charges, their attempt to stop unenforceable UN resolutions to decriminalize homosexuality and attempts to throw an Italian critic in jail. Pope Bill Donahue has again tried to shut down Penn and Teller with this stupid ad in Variety that says:

On August 27, Showtime, owned by CBS, will feature a vicious assault on Catholics.

Um, no. It was a critique of the people who own and operate the church, ya know the pope and his employees

How do we know it will defame Catholics? Because on the show’s website, it says so: There is a Showtime Advisory for “Graphic Language, Adult Content.”

What? The title of the show is Bullshit. The title of the show is graphic language, there’s graphic language in every fucking episode. As for Adult Content, talking about child predators, condoms and homosexuality isn’t exactly family friendly stuff. Again, not defaming Catholics, just the morons in charge of it. Not like Catholics get to vote for the morons in charge.

In 2005, Mother Teresa was called “Mother F—ing Teresa and her order of nuns were branded “f—ing c–ts.”

Keep bringing up that show because he was on it and was really unable to debunk any of the bad shit that Mother Teresa did. I really wish Bill Donahue would stop talking like he’s representing all Catholics. I certainly didn’t give him permission to talk for me.

Angels and the end times.

The great thing about Free Talk Live is that anyone can call up and talk about anything they want. I downloaded the radio show podcast from last night and they were talking about war and the continuing pointless warmongering in Afghanistan and all that. Then about 2/3 of the way through the show, this guy called up and claimed to be from another planet and that he knows who god really is and all that, but he’s not an alien, he’s an angel. Also the bible is bullshit and so are all religions on earth. Apparently, God will take away 144,000 people in the next couple years and then let the rest of the world do something? It was great because the guy was on the show for probably almost an hour. It was pretty awesome. I’ll have to find something to call up and talk to them about.

Cash for Gold, government style!

There must at least one guy who reads either LewRockwell.com or Mises.org regularly at the Onion…sentimental reasons and it’s pretty! Awesome stuff.

Oh yeah, great idea!

Is this one of those “Only in New York” stories or could this really happen anywhere? Oh well, it’s funny anyways. And it shows how lazy our government is, giving checks to people who are supposed to be dead. What? Find out if this person is actually alive? Nah!

I can imagine what it’s like at the bank “Oh great here comes that weird woman with the soul patch on her face. That’s pretty cool for a woman to grow!”
