My first instinct about this whole mess regarding the Muslim cartoon outrage is to laugh. But then it's followed by annoyed resignation concerning all the problems that have resulted and will yet result from it. The Muslims want an apology from... "The West." I wonder if I get to speak for "The West" since I live in "The West."
"Sorry Muslims, that your fucking panties are in a fucking bunch. On behalf of those goddamn Danish people, who should have stuck to making pastries by the way, The West apologizes. Now give us your oil."
Guess we won't seeing a "Piss Mohammed" art exhibit anytime soon. Now the Peaceful Muslims will bomb discos and shopping malls in a fit of cartoon-inspired-pique. And we "turn the other cheek" Christians will hit back. And the Jews will-- who cares. You guys killed Jesus. We're all still mad about that. I don't understand why Muslims should get special treatment when it comes to shit like this. The media in various countries portray religious Christian icons in blasphemous scenarios all the time. People bitch but get over it. I also don't understand why Muslims are clinging to the idea that they're a peaceful bunch. The average Christian on the street at least admits we sack infidel cities like it's nobody's business, and have been since medieval times. Cartoons depicting Mohammed are foul but throwing candy in the street because people flew planes into the World Trade Center, that's appropriate. They're like those crazy people that think bombing an abortion clinic is justified.
It does make me laugh though how the various religions (and our political parties) never make complete sense.
Conservatives:
Stem cell research -- NOT OKAY
Invitro-fertilization -- OKAY (Although I admit, it's a bit crazy how people can pretty much choose to have twins or triplets or quintiplets now. And the idea of harvesting fully-grown humans for organs is a tad sickening. Unless I need one of those organs. Then it's splendiferous!)
Liberals:
Words "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance -- NOT OKAY
Muslim extremists deliberately bombing civilian places because people in some country DREW A PICTURE of their God -- OTAY!
Let's move on to what's really funny. Like this story about some guy who tripped and fell at a museum, shattering a priceless 17th century Qing vase. Whenever I'm at museums I always wonder what would happen if a patron broke something. And now I know... nothing. They don't even release your name to the public so that everyone can torment you for the rest of your life, like those fans that interfere with crucial baseball plays and get booed out of the stadium, then shown on the news 800 times. Okay I am laughing my head off picturing some art lover getting pelted with brie on melba toast and glasses of Haut Brion.
More funny news, is the story of the Warriors PR person who got fired for sending inappropriate e-mails. I got pron-filled e-mails about 12 times a day, from co-workers, superiors, PR team reps. I walked into a PR director's office once, and there were about ten guys in there watching pron, with two of the team PR reps on conference call. Not to mention the women that used to come by the media office looking for tickets, because team PR personnel met them at the hotel the night before and promised them All-Star Game tickets that don't exist. Ahhh the wonderful world of public relations. Off with his head!
And on to the most important news of the century...
24, The Video game, is coming soon to a PS2 near you.
Kwame says: "Riss would never beat this game
because she would make sure Kim dies."
Word. They should make it like Grand Theft Auto. Then I could just take Kim into one of those special rooms and "interrogate" her for a few hours. With a shovel.
