1)The Super Bowl- Wow did that game suck. The Broncos got trampled so bad Amnesty International called it a crime against humanity. The commercials were awful, bland and forgettable, except for the Radio Shack and Budweiser ones. Half naked men proved fine with the public as well as shameless use of our troops as sympathy pawns. Coca Cola got slammed by the racist right who were shocked, SHOCKED, that they would dare to sing America the Beautiful in a language other than English. I didn't like the commercial either, but not due to anything more than the fact that it was sickly sweet, schmaltzy, and kind of boring, much like every other ad companies spent a fortune on for little gain. Even the security proved stupid as, for some unknown reason, the Port Authority failed to anticipate 80,000 people leaving at the same time when the game was over and didn't have enough transportation as no one was allowed to bring their cars in. Genius. This was a terrible game all around.
2)The Olympics- Russia has proven to be an awful host with horrific living conditions for everyone in town, from the locals complaining about sewage and being displaced from their homes to guests staying in unfinished hotels with yellow water when it actually works. One bobsled athlete had to bust out of his bathroom after getting locked in, something that actually happened to me once, but I was lucky someone else was in the room and managed to get help so I wasn't stuck in their all day. And god forbid you go on line because it takes seconds to get hacked over there. Corruption has been rampant with as much as 50% of all funds siphoned into someone's pocket. The opening ceremonies were good, with only one minor glitch but also showed a serious problem with Russian society and why Communism doesn't work. When highlighting the best of Russia, 99% of all their accomplishments occurred in the 19th century, meaning they were better off under a Czar than Communism. As Marxism denies individuality, it also suppresses creativity. Only Nabakov, which was banned in Russia for decades, was the only great from the last 120 years. That says everything about why their are no real Marxist societies left on Earth.
3)Anti pot nonsense- As pot legalization reaches critical mass, the die hards are still attempting to Reefer Madness the effort by introducing less than stellar "science" about the evils of weed. First off, according to the British press, the UK recorded the first pot death ever recorded. How much did she smoke you ask to die from it? Half a joint. Riiiiggghhttt. I don't believe this story as there is NO scientific evidence that pot can kill anyone as half a joint is the equivalent of me dying after having a few sips of beer. This story is BULL. And then came another tidbit that a huge number of people in accidents are testing positive for weed after. The only problem with this is that pot stays in your system for around 30 days so no evidence exists that any of these drivers were actually high at the time. It just shows more people may be smoking it now that the stigma of it being an evil drug that will kill you fades into history. Contrary to this report is a Dutch study done over twenty years that shows people who drive while high are LESS likely to cause an accident than sober people as high drivers are much more cautious and drive slower than someone drunk or even sober. Stop lying to people because that is why heroin is becoming so popular. Some figure if you lie about one, you're lying about the other. Sensible drug laws could have a big impact on slowing addiction and none of this is helping.
4)Baton Rouge- Baton Rouge is tired of paying for poor people, or black people in general really, so they are fighting to have their districts redrawn to eliminate the parts of Baton Rouge that have poor people and instead, let their kids have a better education without any darkies around I guess. Have we become so racist a people that we can't even see it anymore? Now mind you, black people have done themselves no favors by embracing a thug culture now out of control and spreading into ALL of society now. White people on the other hand have gone full tilt Mississippi Burning as a result and want to bring back segregation. If this is allowed to happen, black society will begin falling even further behind which isn't right.
5)Muslims- As I have said countless times before, if you push people too hard, they will kill you. Anybody who has ever read Sun Tzu knows that one of the key principles to losing any war is to have the civilian population turn against you. It is the kiss of death. And because Muslims have for decades now targeted innocent civilians, the public in many countries like Burma, Sri Lanka and now the Central African Republic, are targeting any Muslim they find. In Burma, Buddhist monks are joining in to fight against Muslims of any age. When you piss off Buddhist monks, you have officially crossed the Rubicon. In the CAR, Muslim families are fleeing to Chad as pissed off locals are executing Muslims on site after their attempt to overthrow the government failed. People have had it with this kind of crap and if they keep this up, genocide will be in their future. Targeting innocent people is a sure fire way to make everyone hate you. End this practice today or face the wrath of billions.
6)X-Factor- Simon Cowell's show was cancelled this week after three years of absolute horror. This show was terrible to start with and then got worse when they inexplicably hired Khloe Kardashian as host in year 2. Nevermind the fact that she is kind of a moose, she was so wooden and stiff, Al Gore would have been a better choice. The ratings last year, after another shake up of the judges, was so bad, the Weather Channel was getting higher ones. If we can just get rid of the Voice, American Idol and the rest of these kind of shows maybe we can watch something worth while.
7)Chris Christie- In a lame attempt to throw blame toward his former friend and crony, David Wildstein, Christie launched into a bizarre rant, going off about how he barley knew the guy in high school and that he was untrustworthy. Then why pray tell did you hire him for the job at the Port Authority? This whole scandal stinks and I wish we could just find out is the so called evidence Wildstein claimed to have is real of not. Until then, I don't care.
8)Duke Energy and Republicans- Proving my point that voting for Republicans at this point is akin to playing Russian Roulette, another company, this time Duke Energy, caused a coal ash spill in NC and then waited 24 to tell anyone it had happened. NC regulators, almost certainly Tea Party morons, helped kill three lawsuits against the company by environmentalists who were fearful that this exact scenario would happen. Turns out the current Governor, Pat McCrory, worked at Duke Energy for decades and has filled top posts with former employees. So every person who voted to put this man in office, also voted to have their drinking water and environment poisoned by a company under zero regulations. Keep up the good work guys. What next, uranium in your beer? How about sulfur in your basement? The GOP this week also killed the unemployment bill, even though it had everything the right wanted such as it being paid for. The Republicans wants us dead and some of you are cheering it on. Go to hell.
9)Mia Farrow- Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and accusing Woody Allen of molesting his step daughter Dylan. Only problem is there not one shred of proof, other than Dylan's word, and that is not good enough here. Anyone who remembers the McMartin case knows that false memories can be implanted in a child to such an extent that even decades later, they will demand it as fact, even though it isn't. Mia Farrow seems unbalanced and the fact that these allegations came just as Woody was leaving Mia for Soon Yi Previn, Mia's adopted daughter, makes these accusations suspect at best. Allen passed a lie detector. Mia refused to take one. One nanny swore under oath, Allen had no time to take Dylan anywhere that day. No charges were ever filed as no evidence existed and several experts said Dylan seemed coached. Her story changed, something that shouldn't happen unless trickery is involved and seen a lot in the McMartin case. Could Allen have done this? Sure. But without better evidence there is no sense throwing someone under the bus for such limited info.
10)Tim Armstrong- Yet another douchebag CEO using Obamacare as a scapegoat to kill benefits blew up in his face as everything he said turned out to be a lie. In a company memo, Armstrong at first said matching funds for 401k's would be stopped because Obamacare was tapping them out. When that turned out to be a lie, he then went on to say two unnamed women who gave birth to "problem" babies were to blame and millions were given for their care. Again, bullshit as companies have insurances policies for just this and, under Obamacare, life time limits are abolished so these kinds of payouts would not be a problem anymore. Armstrong finally relented and reversed course after employees demanded he reinstate them or else face their wrath, He wisely chose the right answer, but this shows that if you push your workers too hard, much like Muslim terrorists, they will fight back. So congratulations Tim Armstrong you are indeed douchebag of the week.
