Disney really went to bottom of the barrel on this one. The little gem is a marketing tool for the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. But lets be honest here, really, it is a hateful symbol and reminder of tactics used to keep blacks in their place.

And on that note; Congress decided that they were not up to passing Federal hate-crime legislation.

I read over at Huffington Post about a new campaign strategy called “Posterizing the GOP,” which includes three posters designed by Rich Silverstien of the “Got Milk” fame, summing up the GOP's bag of bullshit over the past eight years. The posters look like this:

The funny part is that Michelle Malkin has started a call for posters of the best parody of “Postering the GOP.” Those posters look like this:

"The Republican arguments are not arguments, per se. They are soundbites. And soundbites serve to distinguish "us" from "them". They're the verbal equivalents of dogs pissing to mark their territory. And, here's the key: conservatives are not manly men, they're not brave - they're very, very afraid. They're afraid of gays, of immigrants, of people who are different; they're afraid they're not as smart; they're afraid of the world around them. Their soundbites are the equivalent of a gorilla beating its chest (future generations, please note: gorillas are wonderful, hairy creatures who lived in forests with their families). Their "confidence" is just the chest-thumping of nervous nellies trying to be big and scary. So, instead of cowering before them or getting caught up in an argument you will lose (because soundbites always win in these type of arguments - all one has to do is shift soundbite and chest-thump harder), you assert your presence and you make your point. Instead of whimpering and showing fear and retreating before a bullying dog, you bark once.
But that's not really why it will work. The odd thing is: they know they're wrong and they want to be reassured. Most conservatives and most republicans know that they've been on the wrong side of history on so many of these issues - civil rights, slavery, health care, pollution, the environment, immigration. Bullies are often happier when they stop bullying. Maybe they'll protest, maybe they'll disagree. But don't worry. Don't get into an argument. Thanksgiving dinner is not the time for arguments."

Today it was decided that women are not capable of making such decisions like deciding on whether or not they want children. The Supreme Court today placed a Federal Ban on late term abortions. And stop with the "partial-birth" abortion bullshit-late term abortions are performed if a woman's life is in danger or if a fetal health situation arises. The bottom line is if a woman could not go through the labor/delivery process of childbirth because it would be dangerous to her, late term abortion would be performed. But that is not an option anymore; rather, a woman can die before an abortion will be performed.

So the anti-choice, anti-women establishment has spoken; if a woman is not able to be constant baby-cozy, than she might as well be dead.

Asshole.

The White House had this to say about today's shooting spree killing 32 people and wounding another 28:

.....As far as policy, the President believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed. And certainly bringing a gun into a school dormitory and shooting -- I don't want to say numbers because I know that they're still trying to figure out many people were wounded and possibly killed, but obviously that would be against the law and something that someone should be held accountable for.

Make no mistake what Bush's message was here: I will always support you the great NRA and this, Columbine, the shooting at the Amish school or any other senseless tragedy will never change my mind, and I will never enforce stricter gun laws, or for that matter even attempt at having a dialogue about the dangers of firearms or the price society has to pay for people like you and me who think every man, woman and child should have a gun. No I will not do those things, so don't you worry NRA, I have got your back.

This analysis of the Duke Lacrosse Rape at Feministing is right on the money-these privileged white boys have had a taste of what it means to be black today.

No one knows what happened that night. The possibility that some type of physical/emotional abuse, assault, humiliation, degradation or the like occurred is likely, given the variables. However, it is possible that nothing happened, and as our justice system works the case was dropped because of no supporting or conclusive evidence. Misogynistic, racist, homophobic behavior does not always leave DNA evidence, so where does that leave us?

This case will set the precedent for future sexual assaults. And even though this case was an anomaly, it will forever be held up as a reminder to all women who think they have the right to seek justice after they have been gang-raped and they will think twice about reporting, and the pro-rape culture in our society will go on and on.

CNN misses the point....

Another reason to hate Disney

noreply@blogger.com (Blu) — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 05:07:00 +0000

I am not going to beat around the bush here-but if you think dressing up like a Disney princess for a wedding ceremony sounds like a good idea, you are seriously locked up in some deep fucking la la land.

I realize many people like to do outlandish stunts during wedding ceremonies, like scuba diving or sky diving whilst reading vows to one another. Whatever-if you and your partner like an some type of activity and want to integrate that into a marriage ceremony, by all means have at it. But the idea that dressing as a princess character as a grown woman and having an entire Disney princess theme for a wedding is wack.

So it should come as no surprise that in an efforts to pimp the Disney princess's Royalty Parties it would be important for a Disney Spokesperson to point out that, "They like to dress up, they like to role-play. It's just a genetic desire to like pink, to like the castle, to turn their dads into the prince."

Yikes.

Make no mistake; sexist shit manufactured and sold to the public as empowerment for women is bullshit.

Reality based television show looking for "Pussycat Dolls" to do whatever it is that these dolls do.

For the uninitiated, the Pussycat Dolls are a female singing group whose six members slither through their music videos dressed like Barbie’s nasty cousins. In their best known song they ask the musical question: “Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?”

McG, the music producer and film director who is an executive producer of “Pussycat Dolls Present" says:

"The Dolls are simply making a heartfelt inquiry: “It’s just like saying, ‘Don’t you wish your girlfriend could be free and comfortable in her own skin and do her own thing, like me?’ ”

And when the question of whether or not this might be a step backwards for women, Robin Antin, founder of the dolls, became defensive, invoking female role models who follow the Dolls by saying:

“There’s a reason why people like Scarlett Johansson, Gwen Stefani, Cameron Diaz have all been so interested in what Pussycat Dolls is all about,” she said. “They feel that it is empowering to get up there and dress up like a Doll. It’s fun, and it’s something that every girl in the world — she may think one thing, but I think inside every girl in the world wants to do it.”

But what do I know-I'm probably just jeolous, cuz I'm just an hairy-armpitted man-hater.

The first go to blog that I read is Pandagon. I will even go so far as to admit that I sometimes skip over posts to read Amanda's, but I swear I come back and read the others.
Amanda's insight, wit, intelligence and humour are unmatched in the blogesphere and it is not surprising that she was asked to work on the John Edwards presidential campaign as a commentator.

However, a certain group has taken quite an interest in Amanda's new employment. It seems as though because Amanda can be salty in her prose, the right-wing movement has gone completely apeshit. These folks are all up in arms because of Pandagon's frequent use of the word fuck. Additionally, because Amanda wrote this:

[...] For awhile, I had to listen to how the poor dear lacrosse players at Duke are being persecuted just because they held someone down and fucked her against her will--not rape, of course, because the charges have been thrown out. Can’t a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it? So unfair,” [...]

....she has been raked over the fucking coals. This debacle has been going on for days and it was started by William Donohue-President of the Catholic League. Keep in mind this is the same William Donohue who has said such charming things as:

"The gay community has yet to apologize to straight people for all the damage that they have done." [MSNBC's Scarborough Country, 4/11/05]

and

Addressing former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) in a press release, Donohue said: "[W]hy didn't you just smack the clergyman in the face? After all, most 15-year-old teenage boys wouldn't allow themselves to be molested. So why did you?" [10/4/06]

and

"People don't trust the Muslims when it comes to liberty." [MSNBC's Scarborough Country, 2/9/06]

and who could forget:

[...]And I'm not afraid to say it. ... Hollywood likes anal sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes. I like families. I like children. They like abortions. I believe in traditional values and restraint. They believe in libertinism. We have nothing in common. But you know what? The culture war has been ongoing for a long time. Their side has lost." [MSNBC's Scarborough Country, 12/8/04]

So you know you are dealing with a full deck here and can see the glaring hypocrisy that is synonymous with the right wing camp.
Anyway- as of today Edwards did the right thing and did not fire them, and I gotta admit, I like that in a person.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: The new axis of evil

noreply@blogger.com (Blu) — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 05:17:00 +0000

I'm glad to see that all the fear mongering is not going to waste.

If an Aqua Teen fan had been on the Boston police force, could he or she have recognized the Mooninites and stopped the insanity sooner? Maybe, but maybe not. Because how dumb is it of Turner Broadcasting if they did in fact place these at bridges and subway stations in this post-911 era? We can't even take more than 3 ounces of Mr. Bubble on a plane, how did they assume some funky-looking electronic devices left in prominent spots in the city would pass unnoticed? (Although most of them apparently did, in the 9 other cities where this marketing scheme was supposedly tried.)
In the "Aqua Teens" episode where Err and Ignignokt try and shoot their Quad-Glacier gun at Carl, they fire the weapon, then discover why it's called the Quad-Glacier: The ammo moves at glacial speed, crawling towards its intended victim, who has plenty of time to move out of the way.

Tampa's solution to sexual assault crisis: put rape victims in jail

noreply@blogger.com (Blu) — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 05:02:00 +0000

This is the kind of disgusting behavior that takes place by police officers when a society decides that women who are raped deserved it for one reason or another. Like the victim in this story who had an arrest warrant out on her; it was decided for her that she not need medical attention or emergency contraceptive, no she was to be arrested and stripped of her rights and dignity.

Weekly Standard weighs in on why we should be glad that all this Duke University "rape" nonsense is behind us

noreply@blogger.com (Blu) — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 08:12:00 +0000

Charlotte Allen, whom I'll just call Char-explained to me via the Weekly Standard in an article titled Duke's Tenured Vigilantes that rape is really just a theory, after all.

Lets start with the scare quotes shall we? I simply love how Char frames the “lacrosse rape case” at Duke University as though sexual assault is so silly and should be mocked by her.

The entire article is chock-full of the usual bullshit putting the blame on the victim, blah, blah, blah. Referring to victim as the accuser or mentioning over and over that the victim was a stripper/exotic dancer/escort and all that sort of BS that rape apologists love to harp on.

Here are a few tidbits:

Her [the victim] descriptions of her assailants' appearances also changed on December 21, apparently so as to accommodate the lanky, six-foot-three Finnerty; she had earlier described all three as chubby or heavyset and of medium height.

I can presume that if a woman is being gang-raped it would be highly likely that being able to recall the physical appearance of the assailants would be difficult at best.

Finally, she [the victim] moved the time of the alleged assault a half-hour backwards, to around 11:30 on the night of March 13, which could get around Seligmann's airtight alibi of cell-phone, taxicab, and ATM records indicating he had left the house before the midnight hour at which she had previously maintained that the gang rape occurred.

ATM records do not mean shit. Please, isn't it possible a buddy may have used his card?

Indeed, there had been two racial epithets let loose that night, as the accuser and Roberts left the party after dancing for only a few minutes (according to Roberts) because the accuser, paid $400 in advance, declined to perform, whether because she was insulted by crude remarks made by the partygoers, because she was too drunk to dance when she got there, or because she had combined alcohol with a prescription muscle relaxant she had taken earlier in the day.

Translation=She was paid money for a service she did not provide, drunk and an addict so she deserved it.

As the two women departed, one lacrosse player shouted the n-word at Roberts and another yelled, "Hey, bitch, thank your grandpa for my nice cotton shirt!"--a riff on a Chris Rock routine that the shouter undoubtedly thought was funny. Everyone would agree that both remarks were unacceptable, but there is no evidence that either Finnerty or Evans made either of them, and Seligmann was already elsewhere, as electronic records showed.

What? Chris Rock calls women bitches all the time. Remember these are nice young boys getting cash at ATM's to pay for strippers whom they call the n-word and bitch.

Mike Nifong's handling of the case was clearly outrageous. But he would probably not have gone so far, indeed would not have dared to go so far, had he not been egged on by two other groups that rushed just as quickly to judge the three accused young men guilty of gross and racially motivated carnal violence.

Char can't even bring herself to use appropriate terms like rape or sexual assault. She chooses carnal violence.

Despite the repeated attempts by the three to clear themselves, a substantial and vocal percentage--about one-fifth--of the Duke University arts and sciences faculty and nearly all of the mainstream print media in America quickly organized themselves into a hanging party. Throughout the spring of 2006 and indeed well into the late summer, Nifong had the nearly unanimous backing of this country's (and especially Duke's) intellectual elite as he explored his lurid theories of sexual predation and racist stonewalling.

That's right, the lefties are sitting around conspiring about kinky things like rape.

"They fed off each other [Duke University and the intellectual elite]" said Steven Baldwin, a Duke chemistry professor who finally broke his faculty colleagues' own wall of silence on October 24, publishing a letter in the Duke student newspaper, the Chronicle, denouncing his fellow professors for what he called their "shameful" treatment of Seligmann and Finnerty and rebuking the Duke administration for having "disowned its lacrosse-playing student athletes." In April, Duke president and English professor Richard Brodhead had abruptly suspended not only Seligmann and Finnerty but also the remainder of the Duke lacrosse season, plus a third player, Ryan McFadyen (also recently reinstated), who had nothing to do with the alleged assault but had made the mistake of sending an email to his teammates on the early morning of March 14 describing a plan to "kill" and "skin" some "strippers" in his dorm room (like the "cotton shirt" remark, this was another tasteless joke, parodying Bret Easton Ellis's novel American Psycho). That same day, April 5, Brodhead told the lacrosse team's coach, Michael Pressler, that he had until the end of the day to leave campus for good.

Kill and skin some strippers in his dorm room?? I have read American Psycho-and the guy is a sadistic rapist lunatic and the connection is a little too close for comfort. Not to mention the fact that there is something very wrong with a person who shoots friends e-mails with topics such as killing and skinning strippers.

The remainder of the article bashes the administration of Duke University for any action they may have taken against the accused. Also implying that the Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong is full of shit, and should be charged himself for even thinking of charging such nice young privileged white college boys with rape. Imagine! A district attorney charging the men who committed rape with rape. That is INSANE!!

Char at one point writes:

[...] but why would these "macho and entitled" young athletes who could have any Duke "lacrosstitute" of their choice free of charge, or, given their parents' money, pay for a real prostitute if they wanted to, bother with rape?

Whoops, someone forgot to do their research; rape is not about sex, it is about violence, power, control and dominance. Come on Char.

Anyway, I will be writing till the end of time with all of the myths that Char reinforces, not to mention the long tedious nature of this article. But this much is true-men rape women far more than women make false accusations and even Char states, Means and opportunity were presumably there that night [...] so it does not take fucking brain surgeon to put together what happened that night and realize that when it walks like a duck.......

I really do despise people

So it's now fun for college students to play dress-up in gang-like attire and throw“ghetto” parties. It seems especially touching that this took place on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

Authorities at Tarleton State University said they plan to investigate a Martin Luther King Jr. Day party that mocked black stereotypes by featuring fried chicken, malt liquor and faux gang apparel. “I feel like there is no excuse for this type of ignorance,” said Donald Ray Elder, president of the Stephenville school’s chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Photographs posted on social networking Web site Facebook.com showed partygoers wearing Afro wigs and fake gold and silver teeth. One photo showed students “mocking how African-Americans do step shows,” Elder said. In another picture, a student is dressed as Aunt Jemima and carries a gun. “That upsets me,” Elder said. “That’s someone who knows nothing about Dr. King, because Dr. King was totally about nonviolence.”

But this does bring up some other issues that I have casually mentioned to a variety of people; racism is becoming popular. This is due mainly because of the entire Middle Eastern-Arab-Muslim-Islamic-and for that matter any dark skinned person connection that they would have to terrorism- that Bush and buddies have been feeding you.

This constant harping of it's us vs. them to could very well be translated into a misguided attempt at justifying this kind of behavior by an average college student by saying: “Look it's not like we're calling people names or outwardly discriminating-we're just having harmless fun making fun of black people by picking stereotypes of blacks and then dressing up like them. And besides-look how the government took care of the people effected by Katrina-and because Fox news tells me that all Arabs are terrorists-and a lot of people don't want Mexicans-whoops, I mean illegal immigrants- to live or have rights in the US-and whites are privileged and any other minorities do not need to be treated with any dignity or respect.” Or something like that.

Others think racism in many forms in going to making a comeback. Read it here and here.

This should have been a no-brainer.
