Feminists get their panties in a bunch over a video game.

First of all, it looks inappropriate for kids- despite the “cartoony” graphics style. Check all the blood, and dead bodies strewn across most of the screenshots linked from the article. I wouldn’t allow my kids to play it just for the sheer violence content. How does that “create a new generation of fat-hating assholes”? (To paraphrase one of the sources listed.) In my opinion, this game should be hit up by the ESRB with at least a “Teen” rating (I was unable to find a rating for it on the site). By the time kids are teens they’ve had years of schoolyard experiences with fat-haters and bullies who will seize upon any perceived fault or difference to shame, ridicule and berate other kids for. As if that isn’t enough, they’re likely to hear tales of how obesity can negatively affect their health (from the education system, those fat-hating assholes). Fat-hating cities are banning fast food and transfats, requiring calorie counts on menus, and suggesting that it’s in peoples’ best interests not to eat until they balloon up like Mr. Creosote.

(be advised that this is a disgusting, graphic skit with bad language and a lot of vomit- watch at your own risk)

I’d also like to take this moment to call out Wyatt as a fat-hater, since he spent half of this year trying to lose weight (with quite some success)! We all know he didn’t do it for his health and fitness, but because he saw Mr. Creosote videos and played the Fat Princess game, and it made him hate fat.

Something about the recent comments over at Wyatt’s has gotten my gears grinding a bit today, and sometimes when my gears grind, I produce more commentary.

Of course I find the story about hecklers attempting to hijack a citizenship ceremony to make it a political protest to be despicable. But it was the comment about over 4,000 people losing their lives that tweaked my brain.

Those people didn’t die for George W. Bush. No matter what insanity people spew forth. Despite the fascism claims. We are not talking “Dubya’s Army”, “The Bush Marines” (heh, heh, bush), “The Crawford Ranch Air Force” or “George’s Navy”. (Though I hear that those are actually the names of Lego sets that George W. Keeps in the Lincoln bedroom.)

People do not join the military to show how much they love the guy in charge, see? Many of those killed joined several administrations ago- there are still folks who are on active duty today that joined back when that bonehead Jimmy Carter was in office! Hell, if I’d done according to plan after high school, I would have joined while Clinton was still in, and my desire to serve my country had absolutely zero to do with that jackass. And don’t take issue with the jackass part, kids. He’s a Democrat, that’s their symbol. I didn’t come up with it. I also am not responsible for his behaving like a jackass- braying loudly and trying to mount anything that moves. Hah!

It’s truly about wanting to serve the country, the friends, neighbors, families and strangers that we see each day. Wanting to be there when the shit hits the fan (heaven forbid) and stepping up to do that duty regardless of who you voted for in the last election. People don’t get that. I don’t think there will be a huge influx of new military recruits if Obama gets elected, folks- nor will there be a bunch of troops getting out if he does. The people who are willing to put their lives on the line are not doing it for one man… but all of the men, women, children and old farts of our land. While that vast number may include the politicians of this nation, it is not solely for their benefit. I doubt they could say the same for their so-called “service”. It’s all about money and power for them.

And people wonder why I dislike politics so much.

American food.

I made some (modified) buffalo wing sauce and slathered it on a pile of chicken breast strips that I had fried. Sure, if I inhale as I am bringing a bite to my mouth, it burns the lungs a little. But it is SO good. Greasy, spicy, hot tender goodness. Hell yeah.

Lazybones has been at work since early this afternoon and he won’t be home until early morning. This means that the kids and I won’t get to go watch fireworks, and since Lazy is working TOMORROW too, we aren’t going to take them to the carnival. Kinda sucks. They hate fireworks (scared them to death last year) but they would love playing.

Happy 4th of July, everyone. Freedom’s a lovely thing.

Son of a motherfucking cocksucker, I really need to piss and I am fucking tired of all this shit. If you have a problem with my language, go to hell, you cunt. Get the tit out of your mouth and grow up. It’s only words.

What I mean to say is… Rest in peace, George Carlin.

TV Reviews

…and yet I am still compelled to post about the circus, because it’s really unavoidable- and it sure grinds my gears.

Just read this article on the (im?)possibility of a McCain-Lieberman ticket. Bummer.

It’s unfortunate that there are people in the Republican Party that have got their heads so far up their asses that they’d sit and wring their hands over social issues while a damn fool with about five minutes of experience gets his ass elected. Way to screw the country, jackasses. If you had half a brain you’d stop pushing your morality on other people that you don’t even know, and do a better job instilling it in your own children, whom you are responsible for.

Or maybe the cliche about the preacher’s slutty daughter was just a big smear job started by liberals to make Christian folks look bad? Give me a break.

The CBC is apparently considering doing away with the familiar Hockey Night in Canada theme.

All I can say is NO! NO NO NO NO! Don’t DO it!

If you’ve never watched Hockey Night in Canada (IN CANADA) you’ve never been to Canada, in my humble opinion.

It’s an institution! This cannot stand! They might as well just take all the donuts and the mounties out of Canada too! GAAAH!!
