It's America... What's Not To Hate?

I love it when I hear people ask "why do they hate us?". It reminds me of simpler times when we used to help organize coups in South America while the public watched Leave It To Beaver and sipped on mint julips. If there was ever a doubt in your mind it's just simply because we've gone too far. Gone are the days of pushing it under the rug. Now we simply flaunt it right in everyone's face. We simply find the single dumbest American we can, prop them up like Weekend at Bernies, and send them out to "represent" us. If you ever doubted it just watch this

P.S. I'm not bitter about it.

Haven't we moved past this?


I read a story yesterday on Boston.com about a "controversial" Dunkin Donuts ad. It's not everyday that you get to say controversial and Dunkin Donuts in the same sentence and for good reason.

The article talks about a recent ad where known islamofascist sympathizer and celebrity "chef"* Rachel Ray sports a keffiyeh, which is a traditional headress worn by Arab men. To me it looks more like a pashmina but of course I'm neither Arab or into fashion,(except mandals) so I could very well be wrong.

Either way the utterly abhorrent Michelle Malkin(if you want to lose a lot of faith in humanity, read her column) decided that this is completely unacceptable and wrote about it in her syndicated column, even bringing up the possibility of a Dunkin Donuts boycott.

Sadly, Dunkin Donuts was pressured enough by the Right-wing blogosphere that they decided that it would be easier to just pull the ad. This of course pleased Malkin, who states, ‘‘It’s refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists.’’

Yes, it is refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to a handful of whiny cunts who attempt to make it impossible to enjoy anything that may possibly be somewhat related to anything from an Arab country. Good looking out Michelle.

*Even Rachel Ray won't call herself a chef, one of her few redeeming qualities

We Know Fashion

So the first real "weekend of summer" is upon us and we feel it is our duty to let you know the do's and don'ts of what to wear. So let's jump right into it shall we:

Do's: Mandals-always a hott look on a sunny beach or if you're just hitting up your local mall for some Chic-fil-a. Always remember thongs only.

Don'ts: Jerusalem Cruisers-these will more than damper the spirits of the people you're with. They'll turn your bar-b-que into an embarrassing situation for everyone involved. Also never wear with socks (unless you are at a water park).

Do's: American Apparel swim shorts-these skimpy items will bring the ladies flocking to your pool side cabana. They say, "Hey, I'm hip and edgy with no age limit required" and also "I don't really mind if my testicles fall out." Either way, you're golden (Note: this does not apply if you have elephantitis).

Don'ts: The Unitard-this thing backfires every time. I understand that a triathlon could occur at any minute and you have to be on top of your game, but doing this pool side won't get you very far with the ladies. Not to mention we will all be able to see what you're working with, and trust me, it's more like what you're NOT working with. Right, right? Anybody? High Five? No? Ok.

Hopefully you take these tips to heart. And just remember this memorial day weekend, wear sunblock.

rick rolling?

i'm late to everything, but this is completely out of left field. Apparently this is a common prank called 'rick rolling', where a person is messed with just because they have to hear this song, which i have always been pretty open about thinking was awesome. I guess my whole life is a rick roll. in this one some people blasted the song in a london train station, and the entire place erupted in singing. I think that proves the song is awesome.

My kids will never listen to Dashboard Confessional

There is a really funny story over at The Daily Mail Online about the "sinister" cult of emo. The story is not supposed to be funny, but it's so over the top and alarmist that it reads like an Onion story.

The story centers around a young girl who was pretty normal until she became emo and then committed suicide shortly after. They mention that she chatted online about the "Black Parade", which as the article states is, "a place where emos believe they go after they die."

I don't know if they really believe this over in the UK, but I think it is more than sufficient evidence to go ahead and arrest all of the members of My Chemical Romance for murder.

Australia: Swimmers, 1; Sharks, 0

An Australian swimmer says he survived a mauling by a 16-foot shark by wrestling with the beast, finally getting free by poking it in the eye. The shark, believed to be a great white, seized Jason Cull, 37, by the left leg as he was swimming at Middleton Beach in southwestern Australia on Saturday. From his hospital bed, Mr. Cull, who was treated for deep lacerations, said he had punched the shark, which grabbed him by the leg and dragged him underwater. “I felt along it,” he said, “I found its eye and I poked it in the eye, and that’s when it let go.”
