Weinergate: Why do we watch?

Go back in time for a moment. I’ll wait. Skip around the 60′s and 70′s with the ease your time/space transporter allows and visit some people you may recognize; your family, important historical figures. Inquire about the social climate at that time: the unrest over the assassination of a beloved President and his brother, the anger and frustration over an unjustified war with unattainable victory. Perhaps you’ll let slip that you are from the future and they will begin to ask questions of you.

You’ll inform them that we are fighting multiple wars, suffering an economic turmoil of crippling magnitude, and that Country Star John Rich won The Celebrity Apprentice.

“I’m sure these wars caused people to take to the streets,” they’ll assume.

“Well, they did for a while,” you’ll reply, “but eventually people got fed up and stopped caring when we got a black president.”

“A black president?!” they’ll exclaim. “That must have been a momentous occasion!”

“Well, it was for a while. Then people started to question why he didn’t stop any of the wars. And others questioned whether he was a Communist Socialist Liberal Foreign Muslim Atheist Nazi…and eventually people got fed up and stopped caring.”

“So what’s the biggest story in the news right now?”

“A Congressman tweeted a picture of his penis to some chick.”

“I’m sorry, what’s ‘tweeted?’”

At this point, you’d let out a deep sigh and huff-and-puff your way back to the future, realizing how utterly obscene your little world has become. Of course our elders will claim that our generation is spoiled and brainwashed with no sense of the real world, stumbling blindly through a cavern of subliminal advertising forcing us to consume until we explode; but we haven’t changed that much.

If anything, kids today learn that the consequences of their actions are real and immediate because it’s happening all over, to a lot of people, including most of their friends. Because of the technology, we can mature faster and learn to use it responsibly. And even when we’re not being responsible, we know we’re being irresponsible.

The previous generation doesn’t have this luxury. They only see the anonymity and a way to send picture of your dick to younger women. Of course, it only happened to Anthony Weiner because he was already in the public eye (didn’t he used to be in the Beastie Boys?). How could something like that ever happen to me?

It’s this disregard for the reality that separates our generation from that of our parents. We younger people have a twisted mindset that given the right alignment of stars in the right time and place, we could be instantly famous at any moment. This delusion keeps us under the impression that we don’t need to work for what we get, but on the plus side, it makes us feel that our actions have more significance than they actually do.

Adults, you need to grow up. Realize that there’s a responsible way to get off without putting yourself or others in harm’s way. It is interesting, however, that the roles are reversed. The youth is responsibly handling news coverage, revolutions, significant (and insignificant) social interactions around the globe. And the people who we’re meant to be looking up to as our leaders and role models just don’t give a shit.

Terrorism Rules

So I’d like to start out by saying that I think terrorism is pretty cool.  Just the idea of blowing something up that you don’t like is pretty ballsy and I secretly admire it.  As a matter of fact, I feel like the only reason that we hate terrorism so much is simple–we’re on the away team!

Imagine for a second that you were walking to your car after a delicious meal at your favorite Mexican restaurant.  The service was great, the food was fantastic, everything is going your way.  But as you approach your dingy prelude, you see a big fat Meter Maid writing you a big fat parking ticket.  You approach the creature peacefully and say, “Hey ma’am it’s fine.  I’m here now to move my car.  I am no longer a threat to humanity.  You can just stop writing that.” (the creature then cuts you off, insulting you with pull-string phrases like)

SORRY, BUT ONCE I START WRITING A TICKET, I CAN”T TAKE IT BACK! or  SORRY, BUT I’M JUST DOING MY JOB! or SIR, CALM DOWN AND STOP CRYING!!

And just as you are hating her with every single bone in your body, wishing she were gone, a man emerges gloriously from within a nearby bush, runs up to her and suicide bombs her.  All that’s left of the woman are the charred remains of a parking ticket, that your name has been burnt off of, forever.  I don’t care what you think you’d do in that situation, but I know a part of you would be like, “Sweet! I just saved twenty six bucks!”  All Ochmed-foolery aside, I’m really beginning to question the core of terrorism and what it actually is.  I just have a hard time believing that there is this ragtag group of Austin Powers’ bad guys hiding in a secret lair coming up with plans to destroy western civilization, for the heck of it.  And that our only option is to destroy them.

It’s interesting how much our government hates terrorists, because I could swear that we have supported some at one point.  Like back when we funded Osama Bin Laden so he could stop the Russians from occupying Afghanistan (which, strangely enough, we now occupy) things were all good then.  We even gave them our stinger missiles to shoot things out of the sky!  But, that was before they were ugly terrorists.  Because we can’t outwardly support terrorists.  No.  That sounds bad.  But, we will support the shit out of some rebels!  Yeah rebels! That sounds so much better.  Cute little guys striving for independence, blowing stuff up that doesn’t belong to us.

The people in Libya are rebels to us, but terrorists to Gaddafi.   Put simply they are people who destroy to get their way.  And, I don’t blame them.  They are fighting against a totalitarian regime that is ruining their lives.  But my question is this:  How do we know that we, The United States, are not also a totalitarian regime ruining people’s lives as well?  And that our “terrorists” are just “rebels” trying to topple us and be free?

I am by no means claiming to be an expert on government and foreign relations but I do know that history is comprised of waves of rulers who acquire territory, build an empire, and then crumble because other people are sick of them being on top.  That is a historical fact.

And it is silly to think that we are any different.  We are a world power just like Rome was a world power.  Which is weird.  Because a long time ago Rome occupied Britain, who at one point occupied us, and only thanks to our rebellious acts which were terroristic to the powers above us, were either of us able to be free to go force our views on other countries.  So maybe we shouldn’t hate terrorists too much.

Because if they win, then they’ll be the ones writing history.  And then we’ll be the bad guys.

Battlefield: South Park

Well, it’s official, kids. The terrorists have won. They won in Denmark, they won in England, and now they’ve won in America. It’s a shame, really. So many of our country’s young men and women have sacrificed their lives to defend our “freedom.” They died for nothing.

Perhaps I sound rather nonchalant about this whole ordeal, but I’m not. I’m furious–and you should be, too.

Remember Muhammad?

When Kurt Westergaard released his infamous political sketch of Muhammad with a turban bomb, the world flinched under the mighty hand of Muslims with hurt feelings. He was–and continues to be–relentlessly threatened. Westergaard is under protection, but what was the result of these threats?

Censorship and fear.

The Western world stands up to radical Islamists and Muslim bullies with the structural integrity of a warm stick of butter. This past week, South Park aired the follow-up to its 200th episode.

Must these men fight for your freedom alone?

The two-part episode featured old characters, concepts, and story lines that true fans of the show will remember from way back. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the show’s creators, were not-so-subtly commenting on the creative freedom that they have. Nothing is sacred or off-limits in South Park and the celebrities were fighting back.

The controversy appears when Tom Cruise and the ginger kids fight over the right to use Muhammad’s power to protect themselves from mockery–you see, Muhammad is the only public figure who seems to be impervious to criticism because his image is so strictly protected by violent, psychopathic, delusional modern-day cavemen.

...his powers aren't limited to underage sex.

And that’s what went wrong. South Park‘s latest episode (simply titled “201″) was hijacked and over-censored due to a series of death threats Comedy Central and Viacom have received. Out of concern for their safety, and the safety of the show’s staff, they heavily edited the episode to the point that it made very little sense and ended with a minute-or-so of straight censored monologue.

Whether you’re a fan of South Park or not is irrelevant at this point. We, as a free and bright culture, must overcome this cultural disease of Islam. The longer progressive society cowers in the shadow of an invisible enemy, the longer it will take to advance.

One of the goals of Islam is to conquer or destroy the infidels (us). Slowly we step back and allow this to fucking happen.

There is a war going on–and reason is losing.

We all support you guys.

Too many Americans are so balls-deep in their conspiracy theory bullshit and imaginary scenarios that they fail to notice the reality that will eventually catch them with their pants down like a Papal entourage.

We need to bring our foreign troops home–yes; but while they fight the war abroad, we should be fighting the war on our own soil. We’ve become a jaded culture, taking our rights and freedoms for granted and not noticing the corrosion below the surface.

If we sit back and do nothing in the face of this virus, we will lose the true foundation of our freedom of speech forever. And when that happens, a couple of demolished buildings in New York City will appear as a fading blemish on the decaying remains of the Western World.

The SuperDPS Guide to the Right

There’s a political schism in this country that has been exported throughout the Western World through religion and an imaginary system of values which should never be part of global or national policy to begin with.

It seems only right that someone attempt to explain the points of view commonly associated with the Republican Party in a manner as backward and convoluted as humanly possible.

The Grand Old Party is actually a Surprise Party...for Jesus.

The Grand Old Party is actually a Surprise Party...for Jesus!

Be sure to keep in mind that not everyone who calls themselves a “Republican” actually holds these same beliefs. The party is full of individuals with individual thoughts and ideals–who were all created in the image of God to make sure their children aren’t converted to faggotry.

Axis of EvilIf there really is evil in the world, and I mean “true evil” not like the Liberal Jew-run Media…evil evil…then it would be these guys. After 9/11 (see Nine/Eleven) everyone who wouldn’t help us out was a traitor and part of Satan’s army of darkness (see Us VS Them…and also, see Army of Darkness…cool movie). Anywho, the Axis of Evil originally included Iran, Iraq, and North Korea, but then walking-muppet John Bolton added Libya, Cuba, and Syria just for fun. Basically, any repressive country that had any history of being mean to us got the label.

FUN FACT: America is in the Axis of Awesome.

Big Business–The Grand Ol’ Party, and the right in general, has largely been associated with Corporate America. Although the government as a whole is connected with Big Business and banking, this is the side of the rich fat cats looking down from their ivory towers. Tax cuts for the wealthy have been a recent staple of right-wing administrations, but for the sake of argument, let’s just say that your lives are essentially worthless.

FUN FACT: The Monopoly guy will be in prison for the next 10-15 years…or until someone rolls doubles.

ChristianityEvery several hundred years, God decides to support not only a particular nation, but a particular party within a government. Luckily, this time God thought it was the Republicans’ turn at the wheel. It is the sworn duty of the Right to protect the Christian faith, because Jesus needs an army…and to make sure that everyone knows that Muslims are wrong. They must be, because they’re in the Axis of Evil…but not Saudi Arabia–blessings and peace be upon them.

FUN FACT: The Jews used to be God’s chosen people, but Jesus said they could run the Media instead.

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell–Because America’s Army is God’s Army and God hates fags, our military has a very strict no-homo policy (just like Lil’ Wayne). If the Army finds out you’re gay, then you’re out. It’s that simple; no matter how valuable you may be to the Army, you’re gone. President Obama is currently attempting to repeal ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ but many on the Right are opposed to it because God hates fags and Obama’s a fag.

FUN FACT: The most difficult thing about being part of the Right Wing is the effort that goes into disguising your brazen hatred as legitimate policy.

Elephant–In 1874, political cartoonist Thomas Nast represented the Republican party with an Elephant and the Democratic party with an Ass. Normally, Republicans try to use the Eagle as their representation as to associate themselves with freedom and patriotism rather than behemoth pachyderms of destruction. The term “Elephant in the Room” is used to describe a prevalent issue that people are too stubborn and self-conscious to talk about–so it could be associated with any rebuttal of a Republican talking point.

FUN FACT: Like Elephants, Republicans never forget–unless they specifically asked to remember…

FOX NewsA conservative-based cable news channel which has recently become known as one of the most trusted media sources in the United States. This fact alone should clue you in that the Right is consistent and thorough in their journalism and reporting. The slogan of FOX News is “We Report, You Decide” while their tag-line is “Fair and Balanced.” For those of you who don’t watch FOX on some moral or ethical grounds, you should know that they are about as Fair and Balanced as possible; they go out of their way to balanced accurate news stories with unadulterated wild speculation.

FUN FACT: When you stare into the burning blue-gray eyes of FOX’s Glenn Beck, you can see the human race, in its entirety, burning in the unstoppable flames of apocalypse.

Guns–The Second Amendment, generally referred to by gun-owners as “America’s First Freedom” (because they don’t recognize the First Amendment as a legitimate freedom), allows for the nation’s populous to arm themselves for protection from a hypothetical tyrannical government. When Barack Hussein Obama (don’t you hate having a president whose name doesn’t pass Spell Check?) declared the Right to be a bunch of frightened individuals clinging to their guns and their Bibles, those “Real” Americans were outraged–and rightly so! When you get all of your facts from a book that starts off with a talking snake, it’s understandably difficult to connect to the truth.

FUN FACT: It is common knowledge that guns don’t kill people; people kill people–but the gun sure does raise those odds! *High Five!*

Hannity, Sean–The reason Hannity gets his own slot outside of FOX NEWS is because he is a special case. Sean Hannity used to host a FOX debate show with Alan “P-Diddy” Colmes (a squirrely little liberal with the frame of an exhumed corpse) until the plug was pulled because even a quiet, unobtrusive liberal was too-much-liberal for FOX. Hannity claims that America is, “the greatest, best country God has every given man on the face of the Earth,” and he’s absolutely right. God made America a plentiful, beautiful, second Garden of Eden–and then the Europeans raped and pillaged their way to total domination.

FUN FACT: America is the greatest, best country Allah has ever created just to spite the Middle East.

Intelligent Design–A loud minority from the right seems to believe that for the history of human scientific discovery, we’ve been dead-fucking-wrong about everything. You see–and stay with me here–the Theory of Evolution (and it is just a theory, of course) can not possibly be true because it suggests that creatures changed and genetically mutated through Natural Selection over billions and billions of years. This simply can not be the case because the Bible says that every living creature that exists now was created in one day…with magic.

FUN FACT: Redneck comedian Ron White says, “You can’t fix stupid.” Rednecks who listen to Ron White answer, “So there’s no use in tryin’.”

Joe the Plumber–During the 2008 presidential campaign that brought America’s first foreign, Communist president, we were introduced to Sam Wurzelbacher who the public knew only as “Joe the Plumber.” Why not “Sam the Plumber?” Fuck you, that’s why. Joe was first seen speaking with Obama in a public forum about his tax plans for small businesses–and how it would affect him if he chose to open his own business. Obama calmly explained his plan, which Joe didn’t understand–and from then on, he became a talking point for the entire Republican Party which had (and continues to have) absolutely no interest in trying to understand President Hussein’s wacky plans for reform.

FUN FACT: Joe the Plumber became a foreign correspondent for FOX NEWS (seriously).

Kindergarten–For many people, especially on the Christian Right, life begins at conception and until we can overturn that pesky Roe VS Wade decision, we will remain in a dark and evil time where women have control over their own bodies. Every child that is not aborted or thrown in a trashcan by a teen who just wants to have a fun Prom is a personal victory for Republicans–but several years later, Kindergarten begins…and so begins another issue: What are those faggot teachers teaching our unaborted children? The Right believes that it is the Gay/Democrat agenda to demand tolerance from future generations by teaching Kindergarten kids about anal sex, condoms, and fist-fucking…and it’s terrifying.

FUN FACT: By the time you get the courage to take back your Country, every single man, woman, and child will have gone gay. Think about it.

Liberal PussiesIf you believe in science, have a moral objection to war, live in a major city, feel empathy and compassion towards others, and readily accept handouts from your government–chances are, you’re a Liberal Pussy. Although the more articulate candidates and pundits would never use this term, it is often substituted with words like “elitist, leftist, bozos, protesters” or simply “liberals.” After all, the Real America exists in either the states that came later/had no say in how this country was formed/lost the civil war.

FUN FACT: When Craig T. Nelson was broke, collecting Unemployment, and using Food Stamps, who was helping him out? Nobody.

MarriageTypically the words that should always follow the word “Marriage” are “is between a man and a woman.” But not if the Left gets their way. It seems that anything that lives and breathes should be allowed to get married, and the slippery slope has no shallow abyss. If gays and lesbians can get married, why not animals and people? Plants and people? Inanimate Objects and people? Traditional Marriage has always been a staple of our society and is a commitment made under the perverse eyes of our Lord–between a man and a woman–for as long as they’re campaigning for re-election.

FUN FACT: It’s customary in this country to an oppressed group to gain the monumental achievement of Civil Rights and then turn right around and spit in the faces of another minority group. It’s the circle of life.

Nine/Eleven–Any kind of political indictment or opposition can be solved by mentioning these two numbers. It’s a mysterious silence spell that will confuse civilization for years to come. Whether the issue be torture, inappropriate airport security, immigration, national security, war crimes, etc…the Right needs only to utter these two (seemingly meaningless) but magical numbers and the problem is immediately shut down. For example: “Do you believe that your treatment of this innocent prisoner fell under the category of cruel and unusual punishment?”…”Well, Nine Eleven.”…The End.

FUN FACT: Former Mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, received an honorary knighthood from the Queen of England for his bravery in uttering the numbers “Nine Eleven” more than six-billion times within the period of one year. Such a feat has never been attempted, even by the most powerful wizards of medieval England.

OilIn order to keep our Energy Independence and take power away from the Terrorist Countries that we get our oil from, we must drill here and drill now. Naturally, if we use up all of our own natural resources, it will be easier to beg countries with more money and power to suckle at their financial tit. We have the capacity to gain more Black Gold from within our own soil; however, in many cases, laws protecting wildlife and forest land prevent us from extracting the delectable Texas Tea from those particular grounds. This is definitely an important issue because we absolutely refuse to invest money in any kind of alternative or renewable energy source (see Liberal Pussies).

FUN FACT: Endangered Species don’t even have cars!

Patriotism–Everyone who wishes to call themselves citizens of this country–or even real Americans–must unwaveringly put the U.S. first. The Right has a true hard-on for Patriotism, which is a noble ideology in theory, but in practice it becomes a little frightening. Every generation goes through a period where they are either ashamed to call themselves “American” or are disappointed in their country’s decisions. During the presidential administration(s) of George W. Bush, a law was passed called the “P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act”–and while most of its contents were minor additions to the Government’s already-creepy powers, America was divided between the outraged and the flag-wavers (see Us VS Them).

FUN FACT: Patriotism became mandatory for a brief period in the early Twenty-First Century. Now, nobody gives a shit.

Quiet Racism–Perhaps one of the most finely-tuned skills of a Right-Winger is the ability to disguise obvious racism as legitimate disapproval. While your grandparents have a “Racist Pass,” elderly members of our government aren’t so fortunate. They must choke on their hatred while a kind-of black president verbally cock-slaps them into submission. African American leader of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele probably lies awake at night with the knowledge that–not only is he the Blackest individual in the Republican Party, but sadly, also the Whitest.

FUN FACT: Even though most of the Republican Party object to Michael Steele’s influence, they can’t give up on him because he’s the darkest person they’ve got…and they couldn’t imagine coming off as racists.

Ronald Reagan–Next to Jesus Christ, Ronald Reagan is the most important person in the Republican Party. You would think that Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President, would be a stronger role model, but…(see Quiet Racism) Reagan was a true Hollywood Actor, but he was always known for being just a regular guy; not like those elitist celebrity candidates like Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger (which Spell Check does recognize, oddly). They say that Reagan never wanted to be president–he only wanted to “play” president–but his policy and legacy inspire boners to this day.

FUN FACT: Reagan’s policy was never to speak ill of a fellow Republican, so whenever current Republicans talk shit, they are required to place their obligatory photo of Ronald Reagan in a sealed envelope.

Sarah Palin–After Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, Democrats and Liberals thought that they could breathe a long sigh of relief and forget the terrible months in history that the other 49 States of America were aware of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s existence. Well, suck on it, because she’s back and probably trying to get into politics again. After Palin’s random and unpredictable resigning from the position of Governor of Alaska, she vowed that she could do more to inspire Americans by not being politically involved. This couldn’t be more true. Now that Palin isn’t a Governor anymore, it’s like she’s single and ready to mingle. Yes, she’s still married, but it’s not every day that a quirky MILF comes along and speaks such fluent retarded-baby-talk-politics that even the most developmentally disabled hillbillies can pretend to be intrigued.

FUN FACT: You can feel free to associate Sarah Palin with this.

Tea BaggersNow referred to as “Tea Party Members” because of the obvious sexual implications of ‘tea-bagging,’ this term describes those who organized in large numbers with the aid of FOX News to almost-coherently protest Barack Obama’s presidency. Originally, they organized as “Birthers,” or, those who believed that Obama’s birth certificate was a fake and he was actually a radical foreign Muslim. Thank goodness they’ve come to their senses and are now attacking Obama only on his mission to bring America into the educational, scientific, and medical ballpark after being spectators for many years. In all fairness, many of the younger people manufacturing dissent for this cause are actually Democrats in favor of fucknuts candidate Lyndon LaRouche. These are the same people who called Bush and Cheney “Nazis” and are now doing the same to Obama.

FUN FACT: Lydon LaRouche will never (ever, ever, ever) be President and therefore, must do everything in his power to make illegitimate the presidencies of others.

Us VS Them–If you combine our foreign relations with our Nationalism and Xenophobia, you get the Right Wing “Us VS Them” mentality. After all, terrorists aren’t attacking us because of our political and religious motivations–it’s because they hate our freedom. The word “them” or “they” can not refer to individuals (men, women, children) because that would bring about sympathy in the American spirit. “Them” must therefore refer to “terrorists, insurgents, or enemy combatants.” It is this very specific tactical wordplay that keeps citizens in line and discourages them from going crazy and killing their left wing neighbors. Even those leftists hate America, they’re still not as bad as the invisible enemy.

FUN FACT: Conspiracy theorists also tend to use the “Us VS Them” method of rallying supporters, but they tend to be much less active, preferring mainly to read the ravings of fellow mad men on the Internet and attend AA meetings.

VirginsMuch like the sanctity of Marriage, the desire for youth to be sexually uneducated and preserve their bodies and souls for their one true love is a major necessity. If we refuse to teach our children about proper sexual conduct, they will–unfailingly–be less prone to engaging in sexual activity. As we all know, this is a myth of epic proportions, but it’s important to stand by myths and support them until it negatively effects your life personally.

FUN FACT: Some studies (don’t ask me which studies) suggest that chicks who are taught not to have vaginal intercourse until they’re married are more likely to perform oral or anal sex…and that’s all we really need anyway.

Wealthy White War–I couldn’t decide which one of these words to utilize for “W” but I figured they chain together fairly well. From the beginning of American history, War has been planned, instigated, and caused by Wealthy White Men. It may have been the farmers and poor gun-totin’ yokels who fought the War for Independence, but they sure as fuck didn’t blow the whistle. Make no mistake: war is often the only answer to problems that can not be solved diplomatically. If you and yours are directly threatened, there’s only one option left. To say that “war is never the answer” is shockingly naive, but doesn’t it feel nice? Even in the case of a noble American War, we typically wouldn’t enter into it unless there were some clear and direct benefit as seen through the eyes of the Wealthy and the White.

FUN FACT: From the Drug War to the Star War, everyone loves a good battle–but sometimes the enemy isn’t as clear and present as Hitler or Vader. In these cases, we can substitute a rational enemy with an irrational fear–like Terror.

XenophobiaFear of the world and the people outside of our own tightly knit communities has always been America’s alcoholic uncle–we’re not sure why we keep him around, but we’re so used to him that we’ll come to terms with the fact that he prevents any kind of peace-of-mind at the party. Despite the fact that America, like most of the Western World, exists only as a mixing bowl of cultures and races, we will always have an irrational fear of immigrants and outsiders. What happens when Mexicans take over all of the shit-scooping and dirt-digging jobs that hard-working Americans are begging for? What happens then? I’ll tell you what happens then: Communism.

FUN FACT: If we were really so xenophobic, we probably wouldn’t have let black slaves into our homes…with their rap music…

Yester-yearsThese were the fictitious good ol’ days of Leave it to Beaver, a happier time that only existed on Television and in the hearts and minds of psychotic conservatives everywhere. We are determined to package and sell a lifestyle that never truly existed in the first place–a better lifestyle when everyone’s parents stayed together, retarded kids were locked in closets, and if you were gay, you were just beaten to death in the schoolyard. Those were the days.

FUN FACT: Did you ever wonder what happened to the Brady Bunch couple’s previous marriages?

ZealotryWhile this doesn’t necessarily have to be a negative thing, it very easily can become one. If you’re a fanatic over any particular person, character, or ideology you pack the potential to harm yourself and those around you. The Right maintains a Zealotry for God and America’s Forefathers. The danger exists due to the fantasy of the fanatic. You know how you used to think you were still in love with your Ex, but really you were only remembering what you wanted to remember about the whole horrible clusterfucked relationship? That’s how the Right feels about God and America’s Founding Members. They constantly invoke the word of the Lord and the imaginary Intentions of the Forefathers, bending the already pre-established beliefs and writings to suit their agendas at the time. You’re still thinking about your Ex, aren’t you?

FUN FACT: You’d be surprised how easy it is to fabricate ideas and statements made by either Fictional Characters, or persons in history that you refuse to actually read about.

Now you know your GOP ABC’s.

The SuperDPS Guide to Prohibition

Hopefully, we’ve all had a decent-enough education to know that at one point in American History, the consumption and sale of alcohol was strictly prohibited by the United States government. Fortunately, this occurred at a time in History when our government could learn from their mistakes and push “we fucked up” initiatives after stupid decisions had cost the lives of many citizens and made the bad guys more powerful.

"Vodka and Cranberry is for faggots."--Al Capone

But did you know that for most of our weird and twisted history as an independent nation, drugs were legal and commonplace all over the country? I’ll assume that you did, and that I’m not telling you anything new–but just for the sake of argument, let’s examine our bizarre (but true) history of Prohibition.

Pot lobbyists love the G. Wash

1611–Farmers in Virginia began to harvest a miracle crop called “hemp.” Its fibers were valuable in a shitload of different necessary items, and eventually, Britain (who still ran the show back then) ordered American farmers to grow as much hemp as possible. It was a cash crop and nobody–probably–knew how fun it could actually be.

Cannabis grown locally had very small traces of THC–as opposed to the shit you buy at the playground that makes you think George Lopez is funny.

Leave it to the Irish to find something to fuck you up.

Early 1800′s–That’s right, it took about 200 years for people to even fucking think about medical or recreational uses for this stuff. And it all started with an Irishman (doesn’t everything?) named William O’Shaughnessy studying medicine in India. He came to the conclusion that cannabis may actually have some medical benefits. And then…

1839–Mr. O’Shaughnessy comes to America.

1850′s–Cannabis Indica (Marijuana) becomes commonplace in Pharmacies all over America. These forms of the drug were almost entirely grown outside of America (because American cannabis was still being grown for fiber purposes); which means that the people who needed it actually got the good shit.

Because there were so many other/better/more powerful drugs available–and because cannabis was typically thought to be only a medical drug, there were virtually no examples of it being used for recreational purposes…until…

Traditional Mexican Workers

Early 1900′s–Mexican laborers began to enter into America with a recreational crop they had been toking for ages: Marijuana. America had no concrete record of previous recreational Marijuana use.

1913–In a glorious example of good ol’ fashioned Southern hospitality, a handful of cities and states began to outlaw the use of Marijuana because…well, Mexicans were ‘fucking crazy.’ So, yeah, it was just about that racist.

1914–The Harrison Narcotics Act comes into play. The government over-steps its bounds and decides what’s good for the people and what they should be prohibited to imbibe.

Those chosen to select and testify against certain narcotics actually stood up for cannabis, saying that there was no evidence for any potential to be addictive or harmful. And Congress listened.

Slavery, Prohibition, Segregation...the KKK gets its way!

1920′s–In January of 1920, the efforts of the batshit temperance movement in the United States (led by ultra-conservative Christians and–SURPRISE–the KKK!!) paid off and the National Prohibition Act/Volstead Act/18th Amendment went into effect. It was declared “The Noble Experiment,” and it outlawed essentially any kind of contact with alcohol for consumption purposes.

Two groups benefited highly from this: The Mafia and the Catholic Church. The Mafia had a new business to exploit, and the Church–which was not effected by the ban for “freedom of religion” reasons–was one of the only places people could get some booze.

BUT–

People had cannabis. It was right there for them to use whenever they wanted, and they said “fuck it, we have coke and opium.” Cannabis as both a cash crop and a medical drug started to decrease drastically in popularity to the point where people simply didn’t care for it anymore.

This was eventually paired with stories of “the evils of Marihuana (sic).” But people didn’t make the connection between the domestically grown hemp crops and the scary Mexican jumping weed.

At this point several other states began to outlaw the possession of pot…even California.

Headlines at the time read like horror stories: Mexican Family Goes Insane From Eating Marihuana. This intense shitstorm gave rise to remarkable pieces of cinematic gold like Reefer Madness, which warned that you will become a murderous, suicidal rapist if you come into contact with the killer bud.

The truth hurts?

1930–Congress establishes the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and chooses evangelist Harry Anslinger to kick ass and take names. Essentially all of the sensationalist and retarded anti-pot propaganda originated from this man’s work. And the racial tension grew from there.

1933–The National Prohibition Act (for alcohol, remember) is repealed by FDR’s Twenty-First Amendment. This accomplished the following:

-took profits from the black market and out of the hands of the Mafia.

-allowed for citizens to ease their suffering during the Great Depression.

-gave the U.S. lots of tax money that they had been missing out on for over a decade.

-decreased the production of dangerous home-made moonshine.

…but the damage was already done. Stock-car racing (Moonshine Runners) took off as a competitive sport, and now we’re stuck with NASCAR.

...just like prohibition.

Mid-1930′s–A television ad campaign that vilified blacks and Hispanics–who were no doubt responsible for corrupting the quiet, saintly, white communities with this evil drug–was pumped into the minds of all concerned citizens. And that’s why your grandparents are racist.

These ads had two core motivations: to scare people away from Marijuana, and to scare Americans into a master-race of white xenophobic racists. Blacks and Mexicans stalk the streets, high on dope, looking for pure, innocent white women to rape and corrupt. True story.

By 1935 most states in the U.S. had anti-marijuana laws on the books–and pseudo-studies into the effects of pot-smoking sounded like this:

Cannabis users are capable of super-human feats of strength and should be considered extremely dangerous. Sexual desires are increased drastically which could lead to indecent exposure or rape. Marijuana causes the destruction of brain tissue which can lead to irreversible insanity ending in horrific death.

Holy shit! I hope he paid his taxes on all that pine.

1937–Because Congress at this time believed an official ban on possession and use of Marijuana an abuse of their power, they passed the Marihuana Tax Act instead. This law stated that every transported ounce of marijuana to the general public would cost the distributor $100 in taxes.

This was meant to be a deterrent, but if it was illegal to possess pot in most places anyway, who the fuck was going to pay the tax?

At one of Congresses (only) two hearings to debate the issue, Harry Anslinger brought out the big guns, saying that marijuana was the Mr. Hyde to Dr. Jekyll. He brought in doctors who testified that even animals with prolonged exposure to marijuana were rendered “unserviceable” and were “discarded.”

When the American Medical Association stepped in, they called Anslinger out on his bullshit–saying that all of the testimony against marijuana has no supporting evidence and proposing that the Marijuana Tax Act unfairly cripples all medical research for cannabis.

And the AMA won!

Jay-Kay! In fact, Anslinger’s propaganda was adopted by Congress to be absolute fact and a major element to support their decisions about the future of marijuana in America.

The reality is that most of the people voting on the Marijuana Tax Act had very little-to-no knowledge of what Marijuana was. And with a swipe of FDR’s pen, the future of Marijuana was determined.

It's like the new WHEATIES!

1940′s–Despite the apparent “dangers” of marijuana, it was still grown and cultivated by the United States government. The Office of Strategic Services, a military organization formed during WWII, used the drug’s THC content as a “truth serum” and defined it as the best and most effective they’d ever seen.

1960′s–It was by this point the marijuana’s recreational use was pretty much fully understood. Those who were growing and supplying the product had figured out how to make it more potent and…well…better.

As is the case with everything else that had been legal, and was suddenly made illegal, it got more dangerous. Not that smoking marijuana is particularly dangerous, but the varying degrees of THC content ensures that you’re never really sure how powerful your weed will be.

The transportation, sale, and manufacturing of illegal narcotics becomes a dangerous practice as well; and like alcohol prohibition, you put the entire business in the hands of criminals–as well as create criminals out of law abiding citizens who just want to get a little high.

Also, you create a stoner/hippie movement that just gets so fucking annoying.

Join the dark side.

1969–The War on Drugs is established by President Richard Nixon. It doesn’t actually go into effect until 1970 under the name: Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970.

1973–The Controlled Substance Act creates the Drug Enforcement Administration to replace the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

The DEA and the Department of Health and Human Services are put in charge of determining which drugs they will go after and which drugs they won’t (using the pseudo-evidence of marijuana’s harmful properties as scientific fact).

1988–President Ronald Reagan creates the Office of National Drug Control Policy to lead and legislate the war on drugs. The head of which would be named the “Drug Czar.”

1993–The Drug Czar is raised to “cabinet-level” status by President Bill Clinton.

Suck it.

2009–President Obama vows to drop the title “War on Drugs” and devote significant “War on Drugs” funds to the prevention and treatment of drug abuse for the fiscal year 2011; but no official end to prohibition is in sight.

So, the next time your pothead friend starts rambling about how anti-marijuana legislation is racist and illegitimate, you’ll know that he’s absolutely right…

…but you still don’t have to fucking listen to him.

Greetings from Gangland, Mexico!

Back in March of 2009, President Obama put plans in motion to shift 500 federal agents to the Mexican border, directing $200 Million in military monies to combat the uncontrollable–and arguably unimaginable–amount of violence directly related to drug trafficking. Their primary concern was to keep the metaphorical Mexican sewage from seeping across the fences. On March 26th, the body of a U.S. Marshal was found in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua–shit.

We all love stories of Latin Drug Lords. Ever since Pablo Escobar tore shit up from 1989-1994, the millionaire drug lord has become the new Prince Fucking Charming…if Snow White were rescued by a psychopath wielding a Frag launcher and an AK.

More Frightening than you know.

In this age of International and Domestic Terrorism, a crippling economy, and the threat of “PALIN 2012,” the United States government still puts Mexican drug cartels at the top of the Security Risk ladder. While the currently enforced Drug Laws work hand-in-hand with the not-even-humorously clusterfucked War on Terror to discourage violent and terroristic drug lord activity, it leaves much to be desired.

The sad truth is that the activity of drug lords in Mexico can never accurately be represented due to the fact that none of the parties involved in its unraveling can agree on the methods or numbers. The ‘official’ number of illegal guns in Mexico coming from the U.S. is 90%, but many conservatives–namely FOX News and the NRA–claim that this number is invented by anti-gun enthusiasts and the liberal jew-run media.

Weapons aside, Mexico remains the top supplier of pot and meth to the U.S.–which essentially means that if you’ve ever been on a college campus or a small rural community where kids appear to be having a “good time,” you have to thank our buddies South of the Border.

The average income from the drug trade can range anywhere from $13-$50 billion per year–and that’s all wholesale. Mexican drug lords utilize people like your “hook-up” to peddle their shit…and you’re douching your way through business school thinking that some day you’ll match those numbers.

Hey Paulo! Can I get another beer? This one's all head!

You know those social media sites that you watch videos of kittens getting scared, and dumbass kids falling off rooftops? Well, in the past year, Mexican cartels have been using YouTube to spread fear and panic by broadcasting executions. Beat that, Taliban!

It’s not enough for the cartels to be in control of the money and have members of the government paid off–they also need to control the populus. As any predominantly religious culture knows, the best way to keep the community from rising up and defending themselves is fear.

Fear of violence, dismemberment, and public humiliation keep those who could potentially rise up against this terrorist movement from doing so. Although an overwhelming percentage of Americans (both officials and laypeople) feel that the War on Drugs is an epic failure, many offer suggestions that would change the way the country feels about drugs as a whole.

Thanksgiving at the Lopez household.

The Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy urges President Obama to take definitive action against this overwhelming blight. The action they seek? Legalization of Marijuana and to treat drug use as a health issue rather than a criminal issue.

Many officials feel that the time to seriously discuss and evaluate the legalization of marijuana has been delayed for much to long.

Smoothe.

But judging by Obama’s nonchalant attitude towards the issue at a youth town hall meeting, the discussion seems to be quite a few hops, skips, and jumps away. It doesn’t take a stoner or gutter punk to come to the realization that while those in Central and South America are suffering, our president can make fucking jokes about how those internet hippies are talking out of their high, naive asses.

Porn Girl Amber Chase’s LIFE: Tweeted

AmberChase2Hey you, I’m @AmberChase, and I have a confession…. I love @Twitter, I mean really; I have met so many cool people through Twitter – face to face even, and sometimes more. In fact, I wouldn’t be writing to you cuties if I hadn’t met @SuperDPS through Twitter. I love how it connects me to people, random people, and of course the fans (the few of you out there <3 totally rock). It’s fascinating and slightly addicting, and if it weren’t for the @SPAM, it’d be the ultimate for succinct social networking.

The 140 character limit makes one very aware of the way a person uses their words. I’ve been kicked off Facebook before; but now I update FBMySpace and Twitter simultaneously, so I try not to use “obscene” language too often, but I frequently describe “obscene” things right from my phone where ever I am.

I know that doesn’t really seem like a big deal since there are so many social media tools out there nowadays and everything has an App. But this is different because Twitter has even improved my sex life.

Well, maybe that’s not the correct way to say it, because anyone who’s seen me in action knows that I have a pretty awesome sex life. So, what I mean to say is that I have fucked so many of my Twitter friends that it’s extra fun to flirt on Twitter. Yes, technically I met @Mistyhazetoday through @xpeeps but I did turn her on to Twitter when I went to Colorado to get naughty with that sweet little bitch and get some ass fucking lessons from her at the same time.

I told her how much fun I have teasing my Twitter buddies with what a naughty girl I’ve been. And now I’m always making her horny with my updates… she ‘tweets’ me all the time.

I’m always trying to hook up on Twitter. As soon as I found out I was going to do a scene with @ThePrinzess and @CeCeStone for @Girlfriendsfilm, I immediately looked them up on Twitter. I was so horny thinking about what we might do to each other that we started messaging back and forth… and publicly too.

Those girls are so naughty, I <3 tweeting with them. It was so funny, I didn’t even realize that April O’Neil was following me until I was talking about watching my scene on Lesbian Adventures I Love to Trib directed by @NicaNoelle. I didn’t realize that @Undeux was the sweet little spinner girl that I mashed pussies with until we were said to be engaged in the most passionate, furiously intense missionary trib ever captured on film.

Some of my Twitter buddies are from my past. I met @Zaydaj on a CraigsList‘s casual encounters ad two years ago, before I even knew about Twitter, but when she signed up and read my tweets, it made her all warm inside.

And I might have met @Xkendrasecretsx initially on MySpace, but after we went out to dinner together at the Cheesecake Factory, it just became so much easier to keep in touch. So that’s how I know that @MsKendraSecrets is a fake. And based on my interview with Ron Jeremy at @Seattlehempfest, I think that @Rjeremy is a phony, too.

But even though some people aren’t who they say they are on Twitter, from doing interviews at @SeattleHempfest, I did get to become good buddies with @RadicalRuss who does the daily audio stash and live radio broadcasts for @NORML.

Beyond that, now I’m Twitter buddies with @Edrosenthal, who–aside from being totally gracious to share a bit of his time with us–also smoked hash with me during our interview describing the tomato model for taxing cannabis. I think it was pretty good because I forgot to ask @Interstate_420 for a complimentary tank top of their refer camo gear and plum ran out of time to interview @Thcfoundation, but I’ll catch them at Hempstalk.

@StonerNation started following me and from our conversations we are starting to develop a website called Pot Princess, which I’m totally excited about. But that’s what it’s all about right?

My ‘tweets’ about my @Seattlehempfest experience encouraged @SparklePixiee to join CannaBabes. She’s an ‘honorary babe’ since I’ve only met her online. Regardless, I was thrilled to I found out about the Miss High Times blog and contest through @HIGH_TIMES_Mag from reading @flowertucci (…who isn’t even following me back). But…I heard that she had good tweets from @KhristyCreams, a gal who first started to get to know me through Xpeeps, but was one of my first followers on Twitter. I haven’t actually met her face to face, since she’s in Germany right now, but I keep telling her I’d love to hear her sexy voice.

Twitter should develop a service that connects users by voice and/or video conference for a nominal fee. That’s one way they might be able to make their service profitable…hmmm–I don’t know…

But I do know that @Confab_Lab found me through twitter and I’ll be doing a email based interview which them that might have been facilitated by such a program. Maybe if Twitter had that feature, @Haileyyoungxxx might have had a better connection than using Skype during our interview on @TheFreakSquad’s podcast. It was so wild during that interview. I really let my inhibitions go.

After our chatting, our conversation turned naughty and I ended up getting my sweet little pussy off twice during our interview. Man, if I had that musically synced vibrator that @Ohmibod is sending me with me during our podcast–wouldn’t that have been amazing!? Both @thefreaksquad and @Ohmibod connected with me on Twitter…so maybe you can too. :)

An Open Letter to President Barack Obama

Dear Mr. President,

alexbwYou probably don’t know me. I tried to attend one of your big speeches on your Philadelphia tour. I couldn’t get anywhere near you (or a speaker for that matter) and it took me about an hour to realize that the “line to get in” wasn’t moving.

I know you’re a busy man, so I won’t take up too much of your time. You have a plethora of significant decisions to make, but now that you’ve finally chosen a dog for your daughters, what’s left of the next four years should be a relative “Easy Street.”

It should not be shocking to you that your outgoing and courageous campaign had won over the masses like a Third Grader winning a class election by promising longer recesses, early dismissals, chocolate fountains, and more field trips. Those who actually decided to take you seriously during the campaigning process are now dazed and confused.

Didn’t someone tell me you were pro-gay marriage and probably an Atheist? I know you never said it…but someone sure as shit did.

Your stances on key issues triggered the part of my brain usually reserved for writing in a candidate on Election Day and drove me to cast my one and only vote in your favor. And so far, you’ve been behaving as if you are that Third Grader who bumblefucked his way into power.

You’ve taken very backward and hesitant stances, laughed in the face of your opposition (and supporters), and booked all of your favorite bands to put on private shows for you and your friends.

That’s fucking awesome. That’s what I would’ve done if I were president, for sure.

But I’m not president…and hopefully never will be. I’m not qualified to be president…and hopefully never will be.

While your opposition has repeatedly said that you are unqualified and inexperienced, I simply clapped my hands over my ears and yelled “lalalalala” until Sarah Palin disappeared back into obscurity.

While I make no observable attempts to prove my maturity, I can admit that I thought you would. Obviously, I can not expect every elected official to agree with anything I have to say. I’m politically and historically ignorant, and when compared to the experts you’ve hired to represent your ideals, legally retarded.

That being said, I ask that you rethink your stances on two key elements. Honestly! Only two! I know dick about the economy, so I probably shouldn’t comment. A National Taxless Year may increase spending and channel more into the economy, but I can’t prove that, so I’ll shut the fuck up.

Anyway, on to my two final points and then I’ll let you go. I promise.

Dr. Funke Blew Himself Thrice.

Dr. Funke Blew Himself Thrice.

Point 1: Gay Marriage–I mean, come on. We’ve dug this hole ourselves by making “Marriage” a legal institution, but for fuck’s sake…it’s time to take this issue and make it federal. I’m all for States Rights, but some things shouldn’t be left up to states…things like Slavery, Interracial Marriage, Religion, and Human Rights. These are people. These are adult people. If they can’t get “Married”, no one should be able to.

My idea: Take “Marriage” out of the law books. Not the practice, just the term. Marriage is a religious institution and that’s why these dickwads are preaching the “Marriage is between a Man and a Woman” nonsense. Let people get “Married” in Churches that accept those things and just call the legal documentation a “Civil Union”…for everyone. That way, everyone’s happy. Well, not everyone…but fuck everyone. Do you know how much extra tax money gay weddings could bring to States? I don’t!

But have you seen how much gays spend on ridiculous bullshit? That’s gotta translate into a pricey wedding. And probably an environmentally safe one as well.

You Cant Hold It Back Forever

You Can't Hold It Back Forever

Point 2: Drug ProhibitionEliminate it. All of it. We don’t need new tax laws for it, or any new laws at all…just eliminate the drug prohibition and the failed War on Drugs and grant amnesty to non-violent drug criminals.

If you want, you can bring special laws to Marijuana (along the same lines as alcohol), but that’s not necessary unless you want to generate more tax revenue, which…it seems like everyone is against these days.

My idea: When you have a Q&A, allowing internet-users to submit their questions, don’t blow them off when they ask you about the legalization of marijuana. It’s a legitimate issue; and believe it or not, it doesn’t only appeal to potheads. It’s an issue that many people care about.

Especially those who believe in the kind of freedom that this country is supposed to represent.

If you could take these two things seriously, I think your presidency will be remembered for something more than your race, which, while it is significant, it is overlooked in a country that has had acceptance and political correctness forced down its throat.

Martin Luther King was remembered for the changes he made to this country. No one talks about the fact that he was black these days. It’s irrelevant.

If you, sir, are going to leave a standing legacy, you have to do more than just do something while being black. You need to make a positive difference in the lives of millions of Americans…and make sure it stays that way.

I don’t expect a response. The only contribution I gave to your campaign was giving you my vote.

Please don’t make me sorry that I did.

Alex G.

****************omg****stars**************************************************************asterisk**

davebwSo much for being apolitical.

But from what I understand, for the most part, marriage is the secular term already. matrimony is the Christian term (especially Catholic). So, again for the large part and not entirely, marriage is fine in my mind. But that’s just semantics, and there’s nothing less productive in politics than arguing semantics.

Better still, we should work on making that Super Sudes SuperConstitution, or Super Dudes Letter to the President and People. The Super Dudes Continental Congress. There we go.

Also, I disagree that no one cares that MLK Jr was black. I think that’s still a pretty damned big deal. And I still don’t really think that ALL drugs should be “legal” so much as that drug users shouldn’t be punished at all. And I’m totally in agreement that Barry needs to stop making fun of the people who are asking about it as a legitimate question. He has to remember that HE’S the one who decided on the policy shift about the dispensary raids.  He must have had one of his friends remind him that marijuana policy it too controversial, and not “feel good” enough to follow through.

An Open Letter to a Celebrity-Obsessed America

AlexMy Dear Celebrity-Obsessed Americans–

Though the whole world (especially the Western One) is crippled by their unhealthy appetite for tabloids and gossip entertainment that belittle and viciously attack the personal lives of those who they all wish that they could be, I can only speak on behalf of like-minded people within my own country (plus, I don’t speak British).

It certainly brings great pain to my forever-tainted (a’giggle) heart to bring such an intellectually vicious attack on the Celebrity-Obsessed, because I understand your way of thinking. It’s easy to get caught up in the gossip of individuals that you feel as though you know personally.

The tragedy lies in the inconvenient truth that your lives just aren’t that interesting most of the all of the time. Feel free to disagree (and when I say that, I mean, if you do disagree, go fuck yourself), but it seems that you’ve taken a healthy veneration of the sufficiently famous to a level of inscrutable and mentally-damaging douchebaggery.

There was a time when the “Celebrity” was the Hollywood Starlet, or the drug-addled alcoholic role model that we could allow into our homes and not have to call him “Dad.”

Now, you’ve taken to labelling the bewildered, developmentally disabled, social butterflies cunts who make up Reality TV casts as “Tinseltown Elite.” This is pure idiocy and you/we (for you) should be ashamed.

I admit my own shame for actually subjecting myself to shows like American Idol and Hell’s Kitchen (essentially FOX‘s whole “reality” line-up) even if they are, on occasion, entertaining. As Americans, we love to watch the weak-willed crumble to the point of emotional suicide while being interminably derided by British hard-asses while they grasp at the pant-legs of the Entertainment Industry for their 5 minutes of so-called “fame.”

The most frightening notion here is that while you can force your otherwise (probably) rational minds to accept these personality-deficient goblins as legitimate celebs, you take pride in the shock-and-awe style attack on those who have devoted their entire lives to entertaining you

While I am not going to defend the morally questionable actions of outstanding thespians such as Christian Bale, Russel Crowe, Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr., Lindsay Lohan (okay, maybe calling Lohan an outstanding thespian is like swallowing a pill the size of Michael Moore’s first dump of the day), etc…etc…etc…I will point out to you, the near-sighted and judgmental pseudo-critic, that these people create art for you.

Their purpose in life (aside from making obscene amounts of money) is to put on a costume and dance so that you can experience the emotions that you’ve forgotten exist as well as tear you away from your insignificant and thoughtless daily routine…or at least allow you to escape into your imagination for two hours.

Imagine, if you will, Harvey Levin staking out the home of J.D. Sallinger, or a team of photographers catching John Updike offguard, subsequently causing him to die of a heart attack before the cancer even had a chance.

You watch TMZ and Access Hollywood curled tightly around a throw pillows, clutching a glasses of wine like the blood of the Christmas Jew and spend your TV Dinner evenings mocking people just like you (except hard-working and successful) who happen to have a camera shoved in their faces while they sloppily stumble out of a bar in the Valley.

Shame–the fuck–on you!

Does it take some self-obsessed ladyboy, drowning in his own unearned arrogance, screaming “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!” teary-eyed into a web cam for you to realize that something is wrong?

Or maybe a terrible (but hilarious) gag-site that encourages web-users to place bets on when the pop diva will put on her tallest pair of stilettos and leap to her death onto something would suffice

Is there any depth to which you will not sink? You could be the most kind-hearted individual on the planet, but when you take part in this Circus Maximus, you are the vile bully that you knew in your heart that you would never become.

And while I am in no way suggesting that those who throw themselves into the public eye, begging for your attention, are immune to scrutiny, I am begging for the sake of our civilization that you cease fire.

Stop watching TMZ.

Stop giving paparazzi something to do with their empty lives.

Stop getting news information unfounded gossip that you proceed to mistake for information from Perez Hilton and E!.

And please Stop treating President Barack Obama like he’s a Paris Hilton. He’s not a film star. He’s not Hollywood’s Darling. He’s the Leader of the Free World and the Commander in Chief of our Military. You desperately need to start treating him with the consideration of his position and not that of Brad fucking Pitt.

You are contributing (no matter how minimally) to the very form of destructive social behavior that will destroy us all (and makes us appear silly in the eyes of the rest of the world)…and it is something of which we are all guilty.

 

Never Have I Been More Sincere,

-Alex
