1)The Language Police- This week in MA, a 15 year old girl was horrified to find out that the word "gay" on the Apple dictionary was defined as meaning "lame or stupid." Having two gay parents, she asked Apple to remove the "hateful" speech, which resulted in a quick conversation back from Apple promising to look into it. The problem I have with this is that the word gay DOES mean lame or stupid and not in a homosexual context. But because we have become too stupid a people to differentiate between words that have different meanings, we once again must throw the baby out with the bath water and ONLY use words in one way or else get thrown into jail by the censorship police. This follows on the heels of a Hallmark ornament that looked like a Christmas sweater and said "Don we now our fun apparel," replacing gay with fun. Everyone had a fit about with the homosexual community bitching about replacing the word as anti-gay sentiment while the traditionalists were pissed the word was changed as well. Hallmark removed the ornament after the whole thing went out of control. Do we not posses anything resembling common sense anymore? And could we please be a bit more thick skinned and stop with this fake outrage over every perceived slight?
2)PTSD diagnoses- I firmly believe in PTSD. There has been ample evidence that being put into life or death situations may permanently affect a portion of the population, particularly soldiers coming back from war. However, lately, this seems to be the go to diagnosis, replacing "exhaustion" as a reason for someone's misbehavior. First we had Amanda Byrnes, still in a hospital for unreleased mental issues, where a spokesperson said she was suffering from PTSD due to stress from her TV show. No she isn't you douche of a person. Unless she was being shot at every day while filming, she does NOT have PTSD. And the latest one is Jonathan Martin, who left the Dolphins after a bullying scandal, is reportedly being treated for PTSD and depression. Unless Incognito was beating him senseless day after day, he does NOT have PTSD. These diagnosis are a slap in the face to all those out there who do have PTSD. And Martin has got to be the biggest pussy to ever play the game. You got bullied by a team mate in FOOTBALL and did nothing about it? You sir are a wuss. Good luck finding another team to carry your pansy ass.
3)New Mexico Police Dept- Some poor schmuck was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and for his trouble was anally raped eight times. Seems the officer on scene thought he saw David Ekert "clench his butt checks," which resulted in several body cavity searches at a nearby hospital and a $6000 bill for his troubles. When no drugs were found, the lawsuit came before dawn broke for which he may well win millions. Ekchert did not consent to be searched, there was no probable cause other than the most vague of reasons, and as a result, the area stands to lose millions in taxpayer dollars because Officer Dumbass is terrible at his job.
4)Craig Cobb- I hate racists and this White Power moron is no different. But he loves the spotlight which came back to bite him in the ass something fierce. While on the talk show "the Tricia Show" Cobb submitted a DNA sample which came back as 86% European and 14% sub-Saharan, otherwise known as black. The black lady sitting next him burst into laughter as the host attempted a fist bump with the shocked Cobb. The look on his face was priceless. Check out the clip to really get a good laugh.
5)California's anti-porn crusade- California passed a condom only rule for porn shot within the state which has had devastating effects on the community and fees collected. Since implication, permits for porn have dropped 95%, a loss of almost $500,000 in fees and a huge drop in area businesses for which the porn industry helped support. This includes local restaurants, stores and other retail outlets for which the porn industry bought things from. As they are no longer filming in LA, these businesses have seen a huge drop in profit. To further bankrupt the state, they are also enforcing a goggles rule for anyone engaged in sexual acts. As one producer put it, "This will criminalize the shooting of porn," as no one is buying an x rated movie with the entire cast wearing ski goggles. Way to go LA. These shoots are moving elsewhere, even overseas. How long can we continue to chase jobs away for some bullshit morality clause?
6)Alec Baldwin- I really like the guy. However, giving someone with his temperament his own show on MSNBC was probably not the best idea. His show wasn't exactly getting the best ratings and after another anti-gay slur arose, he was put out to pasture for the next two weeks. Baldwin himself has wondered publicly if the show will be back at all, which is not a good sign. What was actually said is unknown and to be honest, this may be more language police bullshit and not an actual slur, but who knows. Hopefully Alec will go back to acting and away from the misfire of a show.
7)JP Morgan/Chase Bank- In what can only be described as the dumbest PR move in the history of mankind, some brain power thought it would awesome to have a live Q&A with Twitter followers. What could possibly go wrong? Well, if you happen to be the least likable corporation in the country, just beating Skank of Amerika by a few points, lots can go wrong. Almost immediately, Tweets came up like "Can I have my house back?" and "How do you live with yourselves?" After a few moments of sheer terror which probably resulted in some intern running through the building looking for the plug to the Internet to shut the whole thing down, the Q&A was cancelled. What a STUPID idea this was? Gee people hate you. Shocker.
8)Lara Logan- This incompetent bitch is one of those people that I cannot believe still has a job. This is the same reporter for 60 Minutes that claimed a rape in Egypt by an unruly mob that turned out to not be true at all. Her latest fiasco was failing to vet a mercenary she interviewed about Benghazi which led to all the vitriol from the right about a so called cover up. Turns out, the guy was nowhere near the scene when it happened which she could have discovered had she actually done her job. Instead, she parroted what the guy said, turned the Senate into a zoo, and then its all found out to be a lie. I hope she really gets gang raped one day for lying about it in the first place.
9)Rob Ford- The mayor from Toronto continues his downward spiral, with the city council reducing him to nothing more than a figure head at this point. Rumors have begun to swirl over an alleged domestic dispute between him and his wife when the police were called and every day now, things slip a little more for Mr Redface. The best moment came when he was accused of making derogatory responses to a female co-worker where he allegedly said he would eat her out if she wanted. In refuting the statement, Ford said he had never said that at all and commented that he had plenty to eat at home, ending the press conference rap battle style as he might as well have dropped the mike on his way out. It was awesome to witness. This guy is comedy gold for anyone NOT living in the Toronto area. For them though, this sucks.
10)Republicans- Another stellar week for the usual gang if idiots. Michelle Bachmann said we could have full employment if we didn't have a minimum wage. For someone who talks a lot about ending slavery, she certainly seems to want it back awful bad. They are still going off about Obamacare, which should be rightfully savaged, just not in the way Fox News does with lie after lie. Megyn Kelly had another right wing idiot on who said that he had to sell his business because of Obamacare. Fact checkers looking into it disputed the claim, saying the owner had been trying to sell the business since 2009 and could have offered discount insurance for a high price that the employees would never have taken in the first place. It was all bull. Lindsey Graham ate crow for his Benghazi story that fell apart yet still would not commit to allowing some of Obama's nomination to go through. I found out this week that the number one reason no one is getting fired in the Obama administration is not due to loyalty or cronyism but the knowledge that getting the right to agree to any nomination would be a slog. So because of the intraction by the right, we are stuck with morons who should have been gone years ago. Once again if the right would just shut the fuck up and let the left self destruct, they would be in a much stronger position. But these mouthbreathers are not that bright and it shows.
11) Obama- This has been the worst week for the President. He seems not to know when to shut up and his inexperience is starting to show. It was bad enough when he drew a line in the sand with Syria, but to keep saying over and over "you can keep your insurance," when he must have known that was not true, is killing his ratings. Then, without discussing this with the insurance companies, unilaterally said he would reverse said position. The companies went nuts as this is a huge blow to the industry that requires research into how that would affect the market and figuring out prices. Worse, if this continues indefinitely as some are suggesting, Obamacare is doomed to fail as prices will continue to rise uncontrollable. Because he failed to blame anyone but himself, he and Congressional democrats are taking all the heat. What part of blame someone is he not getting? This is becoming embarrassing from Obama who just had his second big Katrina moments, after the BP spill showed similar incompetence from everyone, government and corporation alike. And for all of the damage that happened, nothing has changed. Nothing ever changes. And that is really bad because we are headed for one hell of a cliff and no one seems to be driving anymore. So congratulations Obama, you are indeed douchebag of the week.
