The Best Written Article You'll Read This Week

Sadly, no, I didn't write it. I had a rant all revved up and ready to go on the subject, but alas, I'm not one to put down mediocre stakes on land someone's already put down much better stakes. Random metaphors aside, I was going to weigh in on the current Miley Cyrus witch trial, because a) I watch too much TV, and b) because I had nothing better to write about other than a salacious picture of a 15 year-old. I can't tell which is more pathetic. No wait, I can.

But I won't. Instead, I'll leave you to read this article by "STV" on Defamer.com.

It sums up exactly what I've been thinking and getting sick and tired of, which is the hypocrisy of the apparent "general public consensus" and all the constant "outrage du jour" that infests some media outlets (Nancy Grace - just calm the fuck down!).

Highlights:

"This isn't about Miley Cyrus without a shirt on or if she's been seen somewhere in her lingerie, or if her father dropped the ball. It's simpler than any of that; this whole thing comes down to picture of a 15-year-old looking like she just got the shit fucked out of her. And if there's anything America loves more than a war, it's teenagers fucking."

"Also, teenagers fucking is a billion-dollar industry. Juno, for example, would not have been a lucrative, laureled darling of both the Christian right and the hipster left had she and Paulie Bleeker not A) fucked and B) kept the baby they conceived. Superbad was a more pointed argument for the appeal of teenagers not only fucking, but fucking well."

Well put.

**UPDATE**

Yeah, Disney sucks. Damn hypocrites.

You've Got The Touch!

Yeah, just so you know, you've got it. You've got the touch. Also, you also have the power. To really make you believe that you're a winner, I've asked Stan Bush here to really drive this home. Happy? You should be.



Also, that kid needs to shut the fuck up. Optimus doesn't have to answer your questions. He transforms days into adventures. Fucking adventures, man.

YEAH!

Life Is A Pretty Sweet Fruit

Whilst trolling the internet today, I came across my favourite of favourite Kids In The Hall sketches, which pretty much sums up my life at times. Pure comedy mastery. Videos!

Since The Dawn Of Time Fact #2311: People Getting Hurt Is Funny, As Long As It's Not You

Hey party people.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks, as work has been incredibly busy. Which is a good thing for making time go by faster, but it cut deeply into my internet surfing. And I needs my internet surfing.

So here's a compilation clip showing some of the dangers of being a news reporter. Of course, many of these reporters put themselves into danger willingly, so the fact that some may have been hurt makes it all the more humourous.

Enjoy!
