1)Windows and Microsoft- The reason I have been offline for the past days is not because my three year old computer is getting old or because I went to some cheap smut site and downloaded a virus. No the reason why is freaking Windows updated some sort of garbage onto my computer that I neither requested nor wanted. In the process, I lost everything on my computer, most of which was thankfully backed up. I encourage anyone reading this to turn off automatic updates by Windows, lest they screw up your computer too. And to Bill Gates, whose Windows 8 I hear is somehow worse, fuck you too. You owe me a new laptop.
2)North Korea- Kim Jung Un had the quite the year. He consolidated his power by having his uncle arrested and executed. He's threatened everyone in the area with bellicose anger while simultaneously letting Dennis Rodman in as a favorite guest. They held an old man for weeks because he was stupid enough to travel across the country reliving his war days. WTF? He deserved what he got the old fool. Most recently, Un sent a fax to South Korea saying war was imminent and they would be nuked from the Earth. What is this 1985? I know North Korea is behind the times but what next, eight tracks and bell bottoms? Kim Jung Un throws a tantrum every few months and is the de facto ruler. His rule could be dangerously unstable.
3)China- Not to be outdone in the stupid category, China has raised the stakes in the region as well with a demand for contested islands with Japan, announced an end to the buying of US bonds and the possibility of using the yuan against the petro dollar next year. Why not just wear a sign around your neck that says, "Please bomb me," as the US may to go war over any of these facts. We cannot allow competition against the petro dollar and have destroyed countries like Iraq for doing just that (one of the real reasons we went against Saddam and not fictional WMD's). And as we have a pact with Japan to defend them in case of attack, if China goes to war with Japan, they go to war with us. Swell.
4)Japan- Easily the biggest loser of the Pacific bunch, these bunch of retards are destroying the planet and the region. The current PM visited a shrine dedicated to fallen soldiers, including those that attacked China. No PM has been there since 2006 and the current visit was a big FU to China over the contested islands and the no fly zone China has enacted which few countries are actually recognizing. Bigger than that though is the continuous radiation stream coming from Fukushima, the death of any independent news gathering which has been outlawed, and the hiding of facts that the radiation may be worse than thought. Yesterday, steam was spotted escaping from reactor 3, suggesting a runaway meltdown may be occurring. If it is, the West Coast of the US may be uninhabitable for some time and could be as soon as the end of the week. Fun. None of this is being reported by any MSM media outlet. Shocker.
5)Target- What kind of moron runs a company that doesn't encrypt sensitive information? How come every nation of Earth uses encrypted bank cards, but now here? Because in the US profit comes before everything and that includes safety or even self preservation. Target profits took a huge hit, shoppers stayed away from all stores in droves (although that may be more due to our failing economy than fear) and billions in lawsuits may be awarded all for the idea that saving a few bucks in encryption software was a good idea. Can the shareholders please fire the CEO for being a total idiot please?
6)Hoaxes- Tom Cruise, Chloe Moretz, and Cher were just some of the Twitter death hoaxes that are the absolute worst things that some asshole can do. In a reverse hoax, when Lou Reed actually did die, some fuckwads thought it would so funny to say that that was a hoax which it wasn't. Death is not funny. Quit being a douchebag. A close second is Jimmy Kimmel for finding it hysterical to tell small children their parents had eaten all their Halloween candy and the filming it to a laughing audience. I found the whole thing beyond distasteful. Stick to funny videos with you and Ben Affleck.
7)The Kardashians and Kanye West- Both are finally crashing and burning which is a minor miracle as their fame has gone on for far too long. Kanye West sucks as a musician and his latest album tanked. His tour has done poorly with just 4500 filling the Kansas City area arena and his recent engagement to Armenian media whore, Kim Kardashian isn't helping. The Kardashian empire is collapsing with ratings for the shows down, the ill fated talk show Kris, cancelled, and divorce in the cards for head moose, Khloe. Go away all of you.
8)A&E and Duck Dynasty- A&E caved in to allowing bigoted, racist Phil Robertson back on the air as they decided that profits matter more than social norms. Sounds familiar doesn't it? So called Christians stamped their feet until they got their way, not realizing that in the process they were basically saying, "We don't care about black people or gays." This isn't about First amendments rights. This is about allowing a jerk to have a major show which will highlight bigoted ideas and give him a platform for them. Can the rest of us have a show called "The Anti-Racism, Anti-Gay Hour," where we interview brainless hicks who spout outdated ideals to which we make fun of them? I'd watch and my first amendment rights would be not infringed either. Just saying.
9)Christians- I have never seen more so called Christians stomp on the words of Christ more than this past year. We have watched the Christian right kill unemployment insurance, attempt to cut food stamps to the bone all the while giving rich people money. The Pope has been criticized by these rich "Christians," for not understanding wealth, being a Commie, and lumping all rich people as bad. The facts remain that income inequality is getting worse and bad things occur when that happens. Think France circa 1778. Christians better realize Jesus never condemned homosexuality, never said let the rich have everything, and preached a quiet gospel of peace and love. I think these morons must be reading from a different book.
10)Obama- This man has had a very bad year, almost all by is own hand. The disastrous Healthcare rollout was all his fault as he should have kept a closer eye on it. It had to work and it didn't. Nuff said. He also is trying to privatize schools, has raised acceptable limits on arsenic and radiation and is actively promoting fascism in the new trade pact with the Pacific countries, in which corporations will be given absolute power over sovereign countries. If I wanted Mitt Romney, I would have voted for him. Obama is proving to be an absolute disaster of a President who is only slightly better than his idiot predecessor. 2016 looks no better if we keep electing corporatists into positions of power. We need someone like Liz Warren who would look out for all of us, not just the rich. The chances of that happening are about as likely as me winning. Joy.
11)Anthony Weiner- No politician had a bigger meltdown than this guy. While running for mayor of NYC, new pictures surfaced of him sending x-rated photos under the alias "Carlos Danger." Sydney Leathers made a lucrative porn career after she outed herself as the recipient as Weiner's campaign spiraled out of control. His team quit, he got into filmed, hostile exchanges with voters and finished a distant last in the race. His career is finally over. The worst part was, as a politician, he wasn't that bad.
12)Republicans- Another year, another round of douchebaggery from the idiot squad. If Obama hadn't fucked up Obamacare so badly, the GOP would be doomed as a party as nearly everything they did backfired. Ted Cruz shut the government down and then blamed Obama for it for "not negotiating." Boehner got led around by his dick by the Tea Party until he finally grew a pair. Michelle Bachmann, Steve King and others continued to speak gibberish to their dumb masses who inexplicably support them. They killed unemployment which may be a worse move than Obamacare come 2014 as a solid majority are not happy with GOP about it and say it will change their vote regardless of party. They are trying to kill food stamps with the democrats wanting less, which is stupid as the funds should be increasing not vice versa. They are also in the midst of a civil war over the fate of the party as big business will be putting their candidates versus Tea Party ones and the reverse as well. The primaries next year may be so brutal, democrats may sweep themselves in despite themselves. I can dream.
13)Police/TSA-This has been a banner year for police shooting innocent people and the TSA continuing to grope people with immunity. Cops are becoming more and more like soldiers and the TSA more like the Gestapo with every passing moment. This cannot be allowed to continue.
14)The MSM- The media proved to be worthless this year with terrible reporting skills, writing or even fact checking. During the Boston Bombings or the attack on the Naval Yard in DC, the media kept reporting rumor as facts and making the whole situation worse. Conspiracy idiots latched on to inconsistencies with the Newtown shooting or the Marathon bombing, using the media's lies against them, not realizing it wasn't a cover-up, just terrible reporting. Our news media keeps telling us the economy is getting better, when it really isn't. They tell us the unemployment rate is falling, when people who get kicked off unemployment are no longer counted, disguising the fact that near 30% of the country is out of work. They fail to tell us anything the government is doing or corporations as investigative journalism is dead except in sites like this. The worst part is thanks to Congress and Obama, the new NDAA law signed recently allows propaganda to be legal again, outlawed since 1948. So now everything you read in the papers may be a lie and it's all above board. This is the kind of things fascist societies do before they start to really crack down on people and everyone they don't like. And with the help of the media, it is occurring now. 60 minutes gets a special fuck you for allowing the Benghazi incident to be blown way out of proportion to sell a book. A recent NYT investigation said that the original Obama statement was mostly true and Al Qaeda had nothing to do with it. 60 Minutes is a joke and anyone still watching this relic is probably one themselves. The media is lying to us everyday and some of you really believe it. Turn off the MSM and find sources outside of America or sites like this to tell you what's what. So congratulations MSM you are indeed douchebag of the year.
