New Medical Marijuana Policy Issued

2009-10-19T08:34:00.001-07:00

Google News
Digg.com

States are now free to make their own laws. Feels great to live in California, we've had legal medical marijuana for ages ;)
Thanks Obama <3

Several days ago I made a comment on Digg in regards to an article that claims 166 million people use marijuana worldwide:

"Obviously nobody can lock up 166 million people, so something has to be wrong with the law if enough people are ignoring it because they don't see it a crime. Kinda like speeding..It's illegal and you might get a fine if you can't talk your way out of it, but everybody does it anyway.
I don't think total legalization will realistically happen anytime soon (Its more of a business to keep people in jail then to keep them out. Cops have bills to pay, and probation officers have to pay off their loans).
This is all due to the fearmongering of the drug war(s) and those insulting commercials we had to deal with. Nothing new though, Harry Anslinger did it over 80 years ago and they did it again during the 80's (Haven't researched it enough to mention any other dates), blaming marijuana for why society is being flushed right down the toilet and using voodoo pharmacology to try to scare the public. Anyone remember that commercial of the stoned teenagers driving into a kid on a bike?
They played every card you can imagine and then some, but they're running out and obviously people aren't stupid, they're just defying an unjust and outdated law; plain and simple.
I don't even personally use marijuana, even though I more then qualify for a state medical card due to my mental disability. Don't see a need for it, but at the same time I believe people have the right to make up their own mind, choose what's best for themselves, and if someone makes the wrong decisions to just learn from them. No big deal, that's life. Locking people up does nothing to prevent crime and petty crimes like smoking pot with your friends once a weekend hardly qualifies as criminal if you read the newspaper as often as I do."All Copyrights Reserved..Sorta.

Just An Update!

2009-10-14T09:26:00.000-07:00
I've been asked to write a success story for Orange County and how the mental health care system and housing authority has helped me get back into shape and on my feet. It will be published on one of the county's websites, but I dont know which one.

Also, the yearly awards ceremony is coming soon and I've been nominated to receive several - But again, I dont know which categories it will be for. I'll post pictures when I can.

UPDATE: I won an award for the two years of volunteer work I did!

Also getting back into school soon - I was supposed to be starting the mental health worker program, but they had a waiting list of 100+ so that never happened.

That's all for now :)

Ooh, rejected by the six-month old "Newport-Mesa Daily Voice"

2009-10-01T17:46:00.000-07:00
So I went on an internship program and met with them today. Office was about the size of my living room and two people were sitting on the couch, a smug asshole was rested at his desk and some bull-dyke looking scary bitch was the one who I was talking with. I found them via good ol' fashioned Cregzlst (Remind me never to do that again).
Anyways, I got an email from some jerk with the excuse of "We're meeting with local high schools and college programs to find people, thanks for your time". Obviously more bullshit, right? Ah, these are troubled times when one can't find a non-paying volunteer job at a website ran out of what appears to be a garage.
I don't think they liked my uh, unusual brand of humor, and as one person put it: "The language".
One rule about journalism is that free speech and the first amendment is always to be accepted. Fuck the status quo. I'm embarrassed I even put on a nice shirt when I met them and feel I dodged a bullet with this one.
Besides, who needs an entire staff to run a shitbag website registered March 9th of this year anyway, a stay-at-home blogger like me could do their work.
The entire interview was very disorganized. She plopped down an assignment in my lap and said to have fun with it. No small talk, no chit-chat, nothing. Just another run of the mill site with its head so far up its ass making its own rules that it wouldn't know journalism if it hit them square in the balls.
Don't be surprised if this entire project registers a 404 error in the near future. You're all a misfortune to the internet, and you're only setting yourselves up for failure. Major bad karma points on you all ;)

Final words: I will never stop writing about what I think is right, because I was taught to always believe in something and stick with it. No matter if I'm wrong, or if im out of line, or even apathetic. That's what writing is about, writing what you love and hate. Get with it, adapt to the times, or wither away like all the other small-minded ones.

Ask The Community - Why People Sag Their Pants Down To Their Ankles.

2009-09-06T18:53:00.001-07:00
The internet's great, isn't it? I had forgotten that just because I live in orange county and I'm down with the whole multiculturalism thing, it dawned on me that there just isn't that many black people here. I had also forgotten that they have the most interesting culture of pulling their pants down so the waist is half-way below the thighs (After observing this for the first time in ages..) and I was like "Ah yeah, now I remember.." But I never did figure out why they do this, despite growing up on the east coast and attending public schools where half of the population were outcasts from New York. Like everyone else I turned to google and asked it why some people are keen on this..Here's a few of the replies, and some of them are just fucking goofy:

"Looks like they took a big dump in their pants, the same effect that baby's have when their diapers are so full they're sagging and about to fall off.."

"I have a theory that it's a conspiracy by the Indians and Chinese to increase the dumbness quotient of American youth, so that they can steal even more of our jobs and money. If kids are so focused on keeping their pants from falling down, it distracts them from learning anything useful.."

"I have some people like that at my school and they even do that in gym class and when they run, they waddle like a duck."

"When I'm waiting at a red light, or I'm at the mall, it's so entertaining to watch a group of wannabes walk by - with their pants around their knees; their shirt as long as a dress; their shoes untied; and the sparkle of gold coming from their mouth. The only thing they are missing is a big red nose."

"This style is designed to acclimate them to the poorly-fitting clothing they will soon be wearing in prison."

"Please don't make fun of the mentally challenged children who fail to put their trousers on properly.."

(Actually, in this case it's full-grown adults. If you want to call them that..)

"Lack of parental guidance. Lack of self-esteem. Lack of appropriate role models.
Lack of positive peer pressure. Lack of a full length mirror. You pick."

"In prison, men tended/tend to have sexual relations with each other since female companionship is lacking. One way men "showed interest" in relations was to sag their pants, letting other men know they were willing. So, basically, its root stems from a request for gay male sex in prison. Every time I see a man sagging, I burst out laughing. If they only knew."

Guess what? FALSE. But it would still be funny to tell someone who's doing it that, just to see what they say. Try it ;)

Anyway, it did originate in prisons due to their "One size fits all" rule, but the road to a mainstream thing was paved by failed hip-hop acts like Kriss Kross. God bless the music industry..Whoever thought fads from the 90's would still be around?

1 In 5 Will Be A Victim Of Sexual Assault

2009-08-18T09:09:00.000-07:00

"..If there are 100 homes in the neighborhood, about 10 will house a child being sexually abused.."

"..One in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be victims of sexual abuse before their 18th birthday.."

This was in the newspaper this morning in Orange County, California. We as a society have a lot of work to do. These people need to be put behind bars, castrated for their own protection, then put to death.

Change of Plans!

2009-07-11T08:06:00.000-07:00
I decided to start a new blog about all the stuff that keeps my folks lurking on my site. It'll be private, and I'll be moving all the appropriate posts over there. The reason for this is I want to keep the two fields separate, so I can still have a day-to-day blog that's public, but a different one for all the other stuff. I'm in the process of talking to a few graphics designers to get set up, should take about a week or so. I'll post a link, but you'll have to email me for an invite. As I understand, you can only use Gmail.

This way, it gets rid of the usual prying eyes and preserves the last two years of work. They obviously wouldn't have a reason to be on here anymore, so it'll just work itself out :)

The new address will be: BaD KarmA: Family Business

Blog Will Be Invite Only Permanently 7/10/09

2009-07-07T17:46:00.000-07:00
EDIT: Obsolete Post, moved to new blog instead.

The whole idea of having two people (My dad and his dad) hawking and trolling over my site, disapproving then threatening to "sue" me whenever I write something that either of them don't want published is just really getting the best of me. Your days of peering over my shoulder are over, I promise. Looks like a certain two people have to find a new hobby come this Friday. It's for your own good, obsession and manipulation is never healthy ;) You'll thank me eventually.

I do not believe in censorship and I fully respect having the first amendment that guarantees free speech to all, but at the same time having an audience of people to come by and cry foul whenever something offends them is just not in my best interest. I originally got into journalism and writing to do exactly that: Write. About anything I choose. Anyone who lives in America and does not respect the constitution should move to a third world country where you have no rights, as they say you can't have your cake and eat it too.

I'll say this too: You don't have the right to not be offended. This applies to everyone. This is the cost of free speech, everyone who lives in a civilized country can either choose to accept it or attempt to oppress those who do. In my case, it was a bunch of unfit, intolerant family members who should probably get a life and stop taking a morbid curiosity in seeing if they've been "outed". I have the right to say what I want and I won't let trash like you bully me around anymore. Forget it.

Send me an email if you want to be on the invite list. It has to be Gmail, and you have to tell me where you know me from (Digg/Blog Catalog/Etc) Send a reference link. I promise you won't be disappointed. Send an email to Riverstyxxx [at] gmail.com And by the way, Anonymous commenting is allowed again for a while, in case anyone has anything to add.

My phone number is being changed, email blocklists are being updated. I've had enough, you haven't won but you have drove one journalist back to the stone-age of the third reich, and as Ralph Waldo once said: "Every burned book enlightens the world".

One final note - I wrote a book about a year back, but the project was scrapped and the copy was deleted. I think I'll be spending a considerable amount of time working on a new version, as the first copies received good reviews by the select few who were able to read it. I have a lot of new ideas to add too.

Proof That "Anyone Who Wants To Work Can Find It" Is Nonsense.

2009-06-15T14:47:00.000-07:00
This'll make your head spin and be VERY glad to have a job.
Finally, an end-all argument that soon-to-be-unemployed has-been stick-in-the-mud dickheads like my father with their meritless arguments that "Anyone who looks for work can find it" bears no water anymore.

Over the course of only six weeks, Esquire's guy applied for 290 jobs (This would have taken the average person at 1 per day, 5 days a week..you can do the math, but its obvious he wants to work.)

And he only received 8 replies. According to the List, he went everywhere from Mcdonalds to a Methadone Clinic, from KFC to AT&T. I did forget to mention, he does have a degree in English and knows how to write a resume, so it's not like he's a complete retard or fresh off the boat.

Just read This Article and be happy to have a job at all ;)
Thanks for setting the argument straight that deadbeats like my dad are soon to get whats coming to em :)

Philosophy.com - Just More Mindless Consumption

2009-06-05T09:15:00.000-07:00
You know, there was a time when I actually had some sort of hope for the future. I wanted to believe that our society was heading in the right place.
Needless to say, it hasn't, and websites like Philosophy.com just confirm this idea. It's really hard to think that some of our best thinkers from the past would support the idea of using their good name and ideology that's supposed better ourselves, to instead hawk cheap merchandise, from Wrinkle Cream that was made in a vat and doesn't work, to "Philosophy makeup, designed to simplify life".

These people are vermin and they're parasites, plain and simple. I found out about this from Slickdeals, of which I was a member for a brief period of time. I actually posted that its people like them that sicken me to no end, and got banned for it. Some nitwit even felt the need to throw out some stupid Nietzche quote that she probably googled, hard to believe that anyone who buys imported makeup has ever read a book in their life.
If you read that forum link I posted, you'll notice that 90% of the people commenting on it are women (I assume the other 10% have rich wives that love getting free shit and not working..)
Those idiots with one-hit wonder avatars of Paul Blart and Anime cartoons thrive on buying face wash and cleaner, but mostly just spend their entire existence debating over which coupon code works, so they can just order useless shit that doesn't mean a goddamn thing to anyone but them and their pointless lives. Seriously, I thought my life was fucked up, but it's actually doing pretty good when compared to slaves like them.

Seriously people, do you really think Aristotle was killed defending his beliefs just so years later some worm bought their good name and turned it into a shopping mall? Would Nietzsche have spent his entire life in controversy so you would have the privilege to spend your credit card to try and look 20 years younger?
Before George Carlin died, he had a lot to say about trash like these people who both run and support sites like that. Personally, I think we're all doomed. Evolution is VERY slow, and there will always be those trying to set mankind back.

How To Replace Your Cellphone: The Easy, Cheap and Efficient Way!

2009-05-27T19:50:00.000-07:00
If you're like me, you're sick of cellphones. If you have no job, a tight budget, then you really should pay attention to this one.
You hate being bugged while driving, you hate the monthly $60.00+ a month for the privilege of getting a barely-audible call from a telemarketer that gets dropped because your service sucks. You also have it set it in your mind that owning a cellphone is a "bare necessity", and don't seem to remember that there was a time not too long ago that cellphones were far from necessary. Shit, back in the 80s when they first came out, they ran about a dollar+ a minute and only the smug owned them as a way to show off. How quickly we forget.

I'm here to help you. Here's what you will need:
1. A Netbook laptop (These are about 2.5 pounds in weight, think of them as a slimmed-down laptop for half the cost. This will run you about 250 bucks, a great investment considering you wont have to hammer out 70 bucks a month anymore). Make sure it comes with wireless, a decent size harddrive and a monitor about 10 inches big. I can send you some links if you need.
2. A Cheap Landline (10 bucks a month)
3. Voicemail on your landline.
4. A Pre-paid cellphone - Put 10 dollars on it and then throw it in your glovebox/purse/desk. Forget about it until one of your loved ones is either engulfed in flames and needs the fire department to throw water on them or has fallen and can't get up. Do not even think of using it unless its a dire emergency. You'll notice that you might have to use it once every six months, this is because the majority of cellphone calls are made socially and are not of any importance.

People: Life existed before cellphones, and we were a lot happier and felt less tied-down before it. We just can't accept the fact that having a cellphone is the lazy (And expensive) way to getting things done. How many car accidents occur every year due to cellphone distractions? Too many, in fact it got so bad here in California that we banned it for anyone under 18 and adults have to wear a really gaudy-looking device shoved in their ear. This doesn't change the fact that you can still have an accident because our minds can only be preoccupied by one major thing at a time, but it will make you look like a jerk and people will think you have schizophrenia if they can't see the device, and will assume you're making another deal with the devil in your mind.

This will take you some time to adjust, depending on how needy you've become to paying more to talk to someone then having digital phone Plus internet Plus tv in your home.
Use your netbook's wireless internet advantage and text your friends using instant messaging. Most of your buddies have instant messaging on their phone, its all the same to them. Keep in mind that a netbook is less than 3 pounds and has the advantage of being a full-fledged computer. While you're at it, set up your house to have wireless internet too, a router will cost you roughly 20 dollars and will more then serve its purpose. When you're away from home, use a wireless network in the area - Coffee shops and other places have them for free.

Set up your Voicemail on your landline phone - Remember: You can check your voicemail from any phone while away, you just have to remember your phone number and pin. You can either check it from work for nothing, hit a payphone for 50 cents, or use your friend's phone. This is not a major inconvenience, you will adjust to it, promise. If I can do it, you can do it.

Post any questions you might have, remember that it is entirely possible to wean yourself off of high phone bills and the false convenience factor that cellphone providers use to their advantage. Over time, I personally guarantee your life will be less stressful. You won't be bugged all hours of the day, you won't feel obligated to text your friends about nothing, and your vapid ringtone won't drive everyone around you crazy.
See ya next time!

If You Pay People To Be Poor, You'll Never Run Out Of Poor People.

2009-04-21T18:39:00.001-07:00
This turned up today, I thought this was informative:

"Poverty is not simply an absence of money. Rather, it is bound up with a whole set of other circumstances: lack of qualifications, demoralisation, family break-up, substance abuse, fatherlessness. It follows that you do not end poverty by giving money to the poor: a theory that British welfarism has amply demonstrated over 60 years. Only when you tackle poverty holistically will you facilitate meaningful improvement."

It's just a fact of life that people who are born to rich and/or well-adjusted, fit parents will typically themselves become rich and/or well-adjusted, a common example of the Nurture factor. At my doctors office I volunteer at, I asked a lot of the clients how many of them were abused/molested/mistreated, and wouldn't you know it, 9/10 admitted that there had been problems from a very young age. Coincidence? I dont think so.

Things The Internet Have Just Ruined Forever

2009-04-11T07:52:00.000-07:00
You know, I really want to feel sorry for some people who worked all their lives and spent a huge investment in school so they could make the world better for everyone. But such is life, and life is about competing. There are those who just want to come along and shit all over everything. This is an overdue list of those people. I'm leaving My personal opinion out of this, for the most part.

Journalism

Long gone are the days where you have to buy a newspaper or turn on the tv at night to hear about what's wrong with this country. These days, both legitimate and illegitimate news sites pop up by the day to fill the void that only something like cnn and the new york times could fill. In fact, the problem has gotten so bad that the los angeles times filed for bankruptcy in 2008, once a leading source of information. Add insult to injury, sites of bloggers spreading rumors and those conspiracy theorists we only saw standing near the freeway now pollute our internet. It's no wonder the media looks at us like we're somehow evil, we are! We are all undermining
what was once quality journalism and turning it into a cesspool of shit. And magazines? Forget it, what they print is outdated and what we already read last week. Remember those photos of britney showing her vagina?
The news can print it, but they can't show the actual photos, which leads me to believe that even the news isn't safe for kids. Not that I believe in censorship, but you have to draw the line at what kids are able to see and hear.

Entertainment

Remember the days of seeing a movie in the theater, or buying a new cd and just taking off that cellophane wrapper? Yeah, the problem was it costed too much money..And by too much money, I mean any money. When Napster came on the scene then got shut down, it's been a headache for the companies ever since..In their opinions, anyway. More networks showed up that didn't require anything other then the peers to run it, and it's only gotten worse (Or better, if that's your opinion). With sites like the pirate bay and networks like usenet and direct connect, anything you desire is only a click away and requires no trip to the store and no standing in line to see a movie in a noisy theater. The problem with file sharing is it gives the industry something to blame when things don't exactly turn out in their favor, that's it. And we all have to hear about it and use it for entertainment later on. Recently, the new x-men movie was put online a month before it even got released in theaters, and the internet has been in a huge uproar about this, the most recent scandal is that a fox employee reviewed the movie online and got fired for it..For shame, but I don't personally care.
Is nothing sacred anymore? If it's digital, the answer is a huge "NO".

Dating/Socializing

There was once a time that if you wanted to meet someone, you had to do it in person. In a bar, at work, behind the liquor store. I know, strange concept right? If you
agree with me on that, then you're most likely a part of the problem. Back in the day, we had to actually talk to people and get to know them on a personal level. You know, meet someone in school or at work, take them out on dates and show them a good time.
Well you can kiss that all goodbye!! If you want to meet a woman these days, you'll have to compete against several other guys who are trying to do the same thing with the same person you want to get to know. I blame the corrupt business practices of Myspace, Match and Eharmony (Which are both openly advertised on tv) and the all-too-well-known, perverted and morally questionable Craigslist. Honestly guys, if you want to know why you're single, this is probably the answer you've been looking for. Either that or you're just a loser. And just so we're on the same level, I'm also single and I feel this is the worst part of the internet that's hit me the hardest.

Writing Letters

This also falls into the same category as dating and making friends, but deserves its own mention. If you wanted to meet someone (Like a penpal or a girlfriend living god knows where) you'd have to write them a hand-written letter and put a stamp on it, then wait about a week for a reply. But getting those letters once a week were just like Christmas! It was the coolest thing ever, getting something a couple of pages long written by someone who really wants you to read it!
You can flush that idea right down the fucking toilet, thanks again to the internet. If you are lucky enough to win in the never-ending competition against men to find a girlfriend and she does agree to write you back, all you have to do these days is send a goddamn email. No paper and no pen required, just an email address with an @ sign in it. They're just so impersonal! Maybe I'm getting old (And I am!) but I miss this little highlight of the week, and I didn't take it for granted when I had it either.

Employment Seeking

You remember when you looked through a newspaper or actually drove to the company and met them in person to ask them if they have a job for you? Getting all dressed up and meeting them before you even gave them a resume, looking at them and actually smiling for a change? Yeah, me too. In fact, I'm unemployed and on disability, but I remember it still.
Because of the internet, you are now just another person typing on one end of the computer and your resume is most likely dogshit..And rest assured, you have a LOT of competition vying against you. That's right, worthless job sites like Monster.com have just decided to come in and piss all over everything. I remember in the news a few months back, a company posted a 20 hour a week temp job doing something like secretary work, right? It got so bad (Partially due to the economy, I'll give you that one) that the company recieved several Thousand emails within a week. Just for a temp job, not even a full time one. Yeah, its that bad. If we didn't have the internet in an example like that, it would have gone to the person who actually heard about it, showed up and applied and looked presentable. This job probably went to the youngest woman with the best looking body -Or- the one with the most experience on their resume, despite the fact that it's a menial job. Pointless right? Yeah, I thought so too. Moving on. Wait no, I have one other story to give before moving on..
A few months back, Monster sponsored a job fair in my area, right? They advertised it in the normal places that monster does. I was at that job fair. You know how many people showed up? I don't have an exact number or even a close figure (It was that big), but the waiting time was about two hours. The line from start to end was two hours long. EVERYBODY showed up. You know how many businesses there were? About five, maybe ten. One was an amway thing, one was a temp agency...You get the idea. Heh, in fact, while I was waiting in line to get to the room with the businesses, the amway thing was actually in line..And uh, it looked depressing. At any given moment, there was a crowd just fighting to be next. It looked like the great depression, to be honest.

Privacy

Ok, this is the Only one open to debate, and again I blame social networking sites. But only to a certain extent, this one is more about personal responsibility.
These days, we take our privacy for granted, without a doubt. However, it is only because we do so that we have become victims of this problem. It is a HUGE problem on the internet that people are voluntarily posting their personal information online for anyone to see, regardless of how old they are. And people seem just fine with that, thinking it might only make them more popular, or whatever reason was on their mind that day.
People: DO NOT post your private information in a public place, even a private place!! Anyone can, and will, see that. Criminals thrive on this, and perverts will only use it for questionable means. That includes taking photos of you at the bar during wednesday when you called out sick from work that day then posting them on your myspace, hoping for a few laughs among your buddies. People get fired for doing this every single day.
Just because websites enable privacy options does not mean your information and photos are private. One good example is that myspace's privacy mode was flawed for a year and anyone who knew better knew exactly how to get around it. They came under a lot of fire for that one, and didn't get around to fixing it for a very long time. Once again: Protect Your Privacy, hm?

I've decided that there just isn't a good, reliable site out there for SMS skins..Most likely due to the fact that the homebrew community moved on. Anyways, I'll be posting whatever skins I make (that means no one else made them!)

"Biohazard" Sucks, Hey Fuck You Evan!!

2009-03-02T19:44:00.000-08:00
It's amazing what an ego can do to someone's mental stability. These people REALLY piss me off, but this guy especially only because I used to be seriously into his music.
What was once a decent band with a cool sound, now just a group of sell-outs and greedy dirtbags looking for money.
The main problem with Biohazard is their stick-in-the-mud once-was singer, Evan Seinfeld. He's complete filth and nothing but a phony. This douche bag turned into a complete snotnose rockstar after his music stopped selling and he (get this) married some trailer trash porn star who he just hangs onto for the status benefits.
Here's the formula, according to him:
1. Make good music, keep fans happy. Carry this on for a couple of years.
2. Lose appeal, stop selling records. "I'm angry, the world owes me, pay attention to me!"
3. Do a bunch of cheap cameo appearances on tv, one example being the worst prison show ever, "Oz".
4. Meet and marry some dumpy pornstar named "Tera Patrick", get into the industry, and start a company with her called "Teravision", now the whole world can see these two sleazebags doing each other and themselves. The world doesn't want to see his penis, and his wife has a cooze like an outhouse. The world meets "Spyder Jonez", "hardcore pornstar" for life. Yawn.
5. Post an infuriating message that would be both a felony and a double-standard in real life, vowing to "Kick the shit out of people who steal my music. Steal from Microsoft, but don't steal from me." He develops a mental illness that he's somehow a moral person and we should all buy into his trash, despite being self-proclaimed as a "Sexual deviant pervert".

In between all of his escapades, he managed to shave his head bald, get even more atrocious tattoos then ever before, and further alienate his audience by just more of the same shit every day.

You're gonna laugh at this, but here's the story of him completely burning his last bridges with his fans. There's a guy who seriously needs an attitude adjustment.

The latest news is that he and his skanky wife are writing an autobiography together called "Rockstar/PornStar". Original eh? I hope this fucking loser gets Syphilis..

This man and the people he associates with are exactly what's wrong with this world. People like him need counseling, they need medication, and they need to learn some responsibilty. Stop being whores, grow up, act like mature adults, and be serious for a change.
If you have any of his cds, burn them or just throw them away. Evan if you're reading this: You Suck, it won't last forever you phony!!!

Wacky Conspiracy Theories About Disney Movies

2009-02-09T23:21:00.001-08:00
Believe it or not, some people still have no idea these exist. I'm bored and obviously you are too. Enough of the foreplay, let's get to it. Everything listed here has the current status of said questionable content plus whatever proof is available.

The Rescuers: X-Rated 2-Frame Scene.
Status: 100% True, proven beyond reasonable doubt.
Proof: (Click the image for a bigger view)

This one was not known about (Due to how hard it is to see) until Disney made a recall in the 1999 home video version, which sparked the controversy. Since this movie was made in 1977, the flaw has existed for more than 20 years and went unchanged. It it possible that the internet made them confess? Some say it was done to boost sales. Who knows, but what's done is done.

The Little Mermaid: Penis Castle and Priest with a Boner
Status: 100% False!
Collector Value: Shit on a shingle.
Proof: (Click the image for a closeup)

The cover was not made by a disgruntled artist, he didn't even work for Disney. In fact, several people have interviewed him, and he said that he made the poster in the early hours of the morning with a deadline worse then fast food. From the start, the entire castle looks like a penis, but that one point happened to look more like a penis than any other. So from an official standpoint, it's a coincidence.
In the theatrical release artwork and video cassette, the artwork varies a little bit, but in both of them the penis is still visible. What happened was the home video cover was inspired by the promotional artwork, which featured the same penis drawing. It's not completely implausible to have skipped on overlooking that, especially at four in the morning, which the artist claims is when he worked on it.
Some time in the year that the movie was in theaters in 1990, Entertainment Weekly (Of all trashy tabloid rags..) published an article about the cover and some soccer mom decided to bitch about it to Disney and that's what sparked the whole controversy.

Here's how it works:
Theater Art-->Movie in theater-->
Box Art (Based on Theater Art) (Rushed)-->Home Video.-->
Artist Notices Later While Listening to Talk Radio-->Edited Laserdisc

Now, as for the "Priest with a Boner" incident; It was just his knee, and I believe it. It only became a big deal when some fat redneck bitch from Arkansas tried to sue Disney for it. Shame on you! Fortunately, she decided that she didn't want to look like a complete idiot and dropped the suit a few months later. Lets move on.

Aladdin: "Good Teenagers, Take Off Your Clothes!" Sound Rumor
Status: 100% False.
Proof: Here
It's only believable if you're told what to listen for, thanks to religious freaks fueling these shitty rumors..Again. The only "Proof" that the conspiracy theorists have is that the voice in the background is that of an unidentifiable character. Doesn't matter, it could have been poor editing for whatever reason, but it still stands to be a false rumor, due to lack of credibility. Next!

The Lion King: "Sex" In The Clouds Rumor
Status: False. Snopes reports "Undetermined", but anyone who understands logic knows that you need proof beyond reasonable doubt and concrete evidence. Snopes is free to report what they wish, but I say it's false.
Proof:

Neither the "S", The "E", or the "X" are complete letters. It only looks like "Sex" if you are told what to look for, just like the Aladdin incident. Supposedly they make out the abbreviation "SFX", or "Special Effects". But I think it's just a coincidence. Remember that in order for something to be proven, it has to contain everything which the claim states. Sorry, this one is also bullshit.

That's all for now, I think there's a few more but I've been working on this posting for a while and wanted to get it published. If anything else comes up or if someone has a comment, I'll make note of edits and additions.

Lesson In Life: Don't Be A Complete Skank

2009-02-08T19:44:00.000-08:00

I've been talking to this girl for quite some time. She was really flirty and always took it too far. One day though she kinda pissed off and flat out said "No you can't have me, sorry" like it was just another everyday thing for her to say. Here's the last thing I said to her, doing my part to try to restore a little bit of decency to the world:

RiveR: you are just completely full of shit arent you
sensico: actually any ass hole would realize I was kidding
RiveR: too bad, im not an asshole
you really have a thing with ass, dont you?
sensico: lol
hurry it up, whats this all about cause I really dont have time
RiveR: so leave then
im not keeping you
sensico: just, what is this all about?
you seem vindictive
RiveR: well ya kinda screwed me
sensico: no I didnt
RiveR: ya wai
sensico: you just took things too seriously and now you're pissed, which is understandable, but c'mon really
RiveR: :)
sensico: you are obviously playing games
RiveR: just remember the old saying that he who laughs last shall laugh best
sensico: whatever
RiveR: you made me pretty upset that day "Oh no you cant have me..no way"
screw you bitch
sensico: sorry I said it that way
RiveR: next time dont be such a deadbeat
be Courteous
be nice
dont be a complete stuck-up cunt
you didnt fool me
sensico: then why are you acting this way
sorry if you thought I was anything but courteous, or nice
RiveR: dont apologize, just think about who you could be upsetting
sensico: look, you're right
RiveR: ive been screwed about by a couple hundred women...you're just another drop in the bucket
Next time you talk to a guy, BE NICE
theres enough problems in the dating scene already
im just giving you advice to think about someone else but yourself for a change
dont be such a slut
sensico: fine, lesson learned
RiveR: then turn around and drop them
good
you'll thank me later, remember that karma always comes back
sensico: ok, sorry
RiveR: you didnt pull one over on me, ok?
sensico: ok
RiveR: i dont even believe you
you lied before and before that, why should I?
why do you women do those things anyway?
let me tell you something and you better fucking listen
the reason the dating scene is so miserable and the divorce rate is so high is because of people exactly like you
i dont give a flying fuck if you ever grow up
but you cant play the game forever, eventually you'll be too old
:)
sensico: right
RiveR: you're not my type anyway, fyi
sensico: good
RiveR: but you didnt have to be an asshole
sensico: sorry, I didn't realize I was coming off that harsh and now I know
RiveR: you're just cold
plain and simple
flirting is one thing, but you took it too far
sensico: you're right, I did

Psychology Behind "Joe Camel"?

2009-01-29T11:05:00.000-08:00
It's Rorschach time. Here's an old ad, but let's try to figure out why Joe's campaign was pulled after only 10 years. Study this ad for a good five minutes. Write down your impressions. We'll compare notes :)

Here's what I see..

1. The name "Camel Lights" with the blue and white background imply Healthy Cigarette, far safer then regulars. This was the first thing I noticed. Even the pleasant white font of the word "Lights" throws you the hint. However, I see a conflict in one thing: The ad was to imply Light cigarettes, but the image of Joe looks to be a badass. Which is it?
2. It's a retro ad. If you smoke these, you can be just as cool as the outlaws in the 1950s such as James Dean. Notice the pack stuffed in his sleeve? The classic convertible?
3. The smile on the camel's face and the phallic-shaped nose imply that this character was generally marketed towards males.
4. The surgeon generals warning. Read it. It's being directed to Pregnant Women. The ad itself is directed towards men. Big conflict there.
5. The fine print of the nicotine/tar content. It gives you scientific data, rather then plain english as to how many addictive properties are in each cigarette. This is still practiced today, including the fine print.

I can't prove this ad was marketed to underage people, obviously. But Camel's idea of this ad was to target a rebellious audience. Does that include kids? Sure, but it also includes adults. I'll give the benefit of the doubt to Joe on that one, but the other five things I noticed are there to stay.

Third (Or Fourth, I lost track) Interview With RePete (Aka Junkyard Willie)

2009-01-20T23:27:00.000-08:00
I just can't seem to forget about this guy, he's managed to drill his way into my head and every few months I pop up and harass him. I'm not bothering to link to the other few I've done, check the archives if you want to read it. Anyway, check this shit out, I need to get my head examined the more I pal around with this dude.

1. Gimme some fucking news, when's your new cd coming out? My blog is almost dried up here and I manage to alienate the people who do visit! The last chick who sent me an email, I wouldn't leave her alone for six weeks!

What new CD? And do people still buy CD's? Do stores actually still carry CD's? What's a CD anyway? Refresh my memory. Honestly I'll probably release a progressive trance CD under the name "Alien Disco Roadkill" before I release a prank call CD. Here's some shit I've been just screwing around with (Not a finished product by any means). Download It Here You Idiot

2. How did you do for dvd sales? (I personally haven't seen it yet, I'm too poor!!)

You're like most people these days in this recession. I have a huge email list of about 15,000 people and so fortunately that generated over 2,000 orders in the 1st month, then the stock market crashed, things slowed way down and DVD distributors got extremely selective about handling new titles. So I'm waiting it out now. I expect many of the smaller distributors will go bankrupt in the coming months / years so it's very dicey to sign with a distributor. For the moment I'm with filmbaby, which is owned by a very stable company called cdbaby. I went through a similar scenario back in 2000 with 2 CD distributors going out of business on me, while skipping out on their tab so I'm very cautious with indie distributors.

3. Any new characters added to your lineup of voices?

I really haven't been serious about making calls since 2001.(Ed: Oh Bullshit, he swore to have a 5th cd the last time I checked his website. We all need to chip in and get this guy a hooker to motivate him, one of those fresh off the boat types, preferably with teeth. Get your fat ass out there and start harassing retirement homes, goddamnit!)

4. Been on the news lately?

Yeah I got arrested for robbing a bank. No actually I have a still a clean record. (Ed: I do too, thank hell!)

5. Is Jim Bob single? He actually kinda turns me on, in a brotherly-sisterly-loving kind of way.

Sorry. Jim Bob is happily married to his sister (Ed: Well shit..)

6. Aren't you getting bored of giving me interviews? It's been over a fucking year now, you'd think I would have gotten a life...

Maybe you can start a prank site like "Mr. Skin" and sell it for a million bucks. Just a thought.

7. You need to get more Old Chicken shirts. This isn't to be debated, just get them. I know most of your fans are big fat XL motherfuckers with 7-11 slurpie stains on their chin, but goddamn it I'm only a medium because of all the meth. You know how it is.

Old Chickens are almost gone for good. Junkyard Willie's Junkyard shirts are the new fashion. People actually really dig the patch. I get asked all the time "What is that? Where can I get one of those?"

As always, you can download his calls, send him milf porn, and give him hate mail at Junkyard Willie

Most Dangerous Drugs: By Category

2009-01-20T18:48:00.000-08:00
Most devastating and dangerous drug: Crystal Methamphetamine.

It's the #1 drug that destroys lives, tears family apart, and is generally ignored by the media. Sadly, this is the drug that knows no boundaries, both small town and large cities are being destroyed by the effects of meth. Not by surprise, it also causes permanent brain damage and is the #1 cause of violent crime, more then 30% of all inmates test positive for meth. It's also the biggest cause of psychosis, schizophrenia and the biggest widespread drug (Especially on the west coast) The reason it's so addictive is the first time use, after that you're hooked. Montana meth project seems like the only place who's doing anything about it, Brett King is just an attention whore looking for 15 minutes of fame. Users who find themselves addicted to crystal meth will wish they're dead. Their teeth will fall out, they will commit violent crimes, and they will lose their lives because of this drug. Avoid. Seriously, the world is a fucked up place already, don't make it any worse then it has to be.

#1 cause of Car Accidents, Most Advertised, and Most Misunderstood: Alcohol

Alcohol remains legal, yet is just a straight up killer. People underestimate the reality of drinking due to the availability, but every year people overdose and die in the emergency due to binge drinking. Alcohol is also terribly addictive and can lead to seizures, delerium, and death if you've been drinking for too long and worked up such a big dependence. Learn moderation or don't start to begin with.

Most deadly and addictive: Cigarettes.

Each year, more then one million people will die every year because of smoking. Cigarettes are a trillion dollar a year industry, spearheaded by faceless corporations (Have you ever seen an employee for Camel or Marlboro on tv? Didn't think so). Some states, including California, have banned smoking in public places..Which I think is the wrong idea, due to lack of sufficient evidence that second hand smoke will cause any health problems.

Most Potent, the biggest rush, overall just a really fucked up drug: Angel Dust (PCP)

Ah, Phencyclidine. You're gone and no one misses you. Use this one and you will die a horrible, painful death. That's the reason it hasn't been popular for a long time, but back in the 80s and 90s this was a pretty big thing. All of those addicts are either dead or in mental institutions. No further explanation required.

Worst drug affecting the social scene: Ecstacy

Although not regarded as clinically dangerous due to lack of evidence of causing permanent brain damage, this drug does cause hypothermia and can lead to unsafe sex practice, thereby increasing the risk of disease, including HIV. If you have to take it, stay in a safe place (Maybe out in the woods) with a few trusted friends and bring a lot of water..You'll need it. I always avoided raves, I just never got into it or saw the point..Somethings not right if you can't tell when one song ends and the next one begins. Moving on.

Safest illegal drugs if used under strict doctor regiment and for medical purpose: Marijuana and LSD.

LSD was used to treat schizophrenia back in the 50's and the military even gave it to their own soldiers..But it's been heavily scrutinized as a "Crazy Drug", mostly myths that if you take it you will crash out of a window, so it's not really accepted anymore.
Marijuana is another one too. Proven effective in treating depression, anxiety, glaucoma, chemotherapy, and many states, including mine (California) has made it legal for medical use. Although I don't use it anymore, this is one drug I can see being made completely legal in this lifetime. Who knows, right?

That's all for now :)
