It’s nice to know that if there is any severe state of emergency that it will be reported… about Justin Bieber.
Looks like Mrs Greenspan has a thing for Bieber. 😛
Are you fucking serious?
Birth Control: It’s for ladies who can’t control their vajayjays
Do you suffer from wandering vagina syndrome? No? Well, apparently some people think it’s for women who can’t control their labido.
“I think it’s time Republicans no longer accept listening to the Democrats talk about a ‘war on women,’” Huckabee said during a speech at the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting in Washington. “The fact is the Republicans don’t have a war on women, they have a war for women, to empower them to be something other than victims of their gender.”
Yes, they want to empower the ladies… by telling them they can rule over the entire kitchen with an iron fist.
Huckabee said Democrats rely on women believing they are weaker than men and in need of government handouts, including the contraception mandate in Obamacare.
I wonder how these guys would like it if women attacked Viagra and Cialis as much as these guys attack Birth Control. Sounds like fair game to me. 😛
Huckabee said Democrats tell women “they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing them for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of government.
Oh god…. when I got to Uncle Sugar when I was reading this today I almost spat tea all over my monitor. I mean, Uncle Sugar? Someone needs to make a pimped out Uncle Sam with the title “Uncle Sugar wants yo fine ass to have birth control”.
But in all seriousness why do these guys make women the centerpiece of this war? They always make it sound like the woman is the sex crazed monster and the man just kinda accidentally gets his dick stuck between her legs.
When you love something a little too much.
This was shared in one of the Steam Chats I hang out in.

Get the duck out of here.
I’m really getting sick and tired of the Duck Dynasty thing. Lots of people in town (including co-workers) were extremely pissed off about Phil Robertson being thrown off the air, and have been rejoicing his triumphant return ever since but are still pissed off at how they would even think of oppressing a fellow Christian for his beliefs. One of my co-workers decided to ask my opinion on the situation which would prove later to be a mistake. I kept it light, basically telling him that they’re fakes. I explained to him the picture I found of them 11 years ago before the beards, and how it was obvious that they grew them out for TV. He defended that by saying “People do different things for TV” and I said “Yes, but it’s supposed to be a ‘reality’ show”, and then he tried to tell me that it was wrong for them to take him off the air because of “one thing”. Why are these people only focusing on the gay comment and not this comment:
“I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash. We’re going across the field…. They’re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.”
I imagine that if I brought up this bit about marrying girls as young as 15 or 16 it would also fall on deaf ears. Yes, Phil Robertson mentioned this back in 2009 at a Christian retreat.
“They got to where they’re getting hard to find, mainly because these boys are waiting ’til they get to be about 20 years old before they marry ’em,” Robertson says in a video clip that resurfaced Monday. “Look, you wait ’til they get to be 20 years old, the only picking that’s going to take place is your pocket. You got to marry these girls when they are about 15 or 16. They’ll pick your ducks.”
Yeah, you wanna marry them while they don’t know the world from outside your toolshed. It doesn’t end there either:
“Make sure that she can cook a meal. You need to eat some meals that she cooks, check that out. Make sure she carries her Bible. That’ll save you a lot of trouble down the road,” he said.
It’s funny reading this then having to listen to people complain about how his religious beliefs got him thrown off of A&E. Yes, everyone knows that Christians in America are the most oppressed. All 70% of them… 🙄
Why you don’t hire comedians to sell your products.
I never heard of Patton Oswalt until this recent twitter thing. But I have a feeling more people will after reading his product endorsements.
Friday afternoon, a company called Brander solicited comedian Patton Oswalt via Twitter to ask him to tweet about products they represent, and Oswalt ended up having a lot of fun with it. He went on a tear making fun of the company and their strategy with a series of tweets that amassed hundreds of retweets and attention from the press. You’d think it’d be enough to shame Brander into not publicly asking comedians to tweet about brands for them, but they’re still at it apparently.
My personal favorite:

I would seriously love to see some real life adverts like that. 😀
What the duck?
I’ll be honest. I’ve heard of Duck Dynasty but never really had an interest in watching it or looking up what it even was. I just knew that everyone else in town thinks it’s the bees knees for whatever reason. At work we sell lots of Duck Dynasty Merch (Shirts, Cups, Pillows, Beards etc) and by looking at it I thought it was some kind of fictitious redneck show about four guys that hunt and got famous by making a special duck call whistle. Then I find these pictures and find… well I’m half right. Look at these before and after pics:
Before:
After:
Damn, amazing what can happen to you in about ten years time. But yeah, I was half right about the fiction part. This is a reality show… now I’m even happier I haven’t made time to watch it.
Anyway, as I said earlier we sell lots of Duck Dynasty stuff where I work. Sales have increased since Phil Robertson, one of the four guys, made some comments about Gays and African Americans. Which Colbert does a good job discussing.

The funny part is the people decrying that all he did was speak for himself, so why should he be denied his freedom of speech? He’s not being denied… He has the right to say whatever he wants, and A&E has the right to run their channel however they want. It’s kinda like when Rush Limbaugh lost all of his sponsors after attacking Sandra Fluke and saying some, rather indecent things. People thought his freedom of speech was being violated when in reality it wasn’t. Freedom of speech can impact things. These people said things that pissed off a bunch of people, and they used THEIR freedom of speech to do as they pleased in both situations. In this case losing sponsors or getting rid of an racist anti gay fuckwad from a show on a channel you run.
In the end though it’s kinda funny to see someone talk about how wrong gay sex is, from the very guy who created a duck whistle to make male ducks think you want to fuck them. I think I’ll file this show under American Idol status and just bury it.
Update
Looks like the crazies got him back on the air. Soooo, about that free speech?
This is why you don’t tell people you’re a girl… or a gamer… or use dating sites… or breathe…
This is from a webseries called “OKCupid is the best!” where the hostess solikebasically shares the strangest things she finds in her OKCupid inbox. In this particular episode some guy discovers that she likes games, the awkwardness is soon followed with morbid disgust.

Was that really necessary? Usually when someone doesn’t respond to you that means you move on, you know… more fish in the sea and all that jazz? Of course, she’s also getting criticized for doing the unthinkable and posting his messages to her in public for all to hear. Just think, this could have been avoided if he just dropped it after the first post.
Idiot of the day
Damn, she was soooo close to being a candidate for the Darwin Awards… 🙄
A “female tourist” has been rescued by police in Melbourne, Australia after walking off a pier. It wasn’t a suicide attempt. She was just too busy looking at Facebook on her phone.
Victoria Police say the woman – who couldn’t swim – walked off the famous St. Kilda pier at 11:30pm last night after becoming “engrossed in social media”.
Sigh
YouTube’s new content ID system SUCKS
If you haven’t been following YouTube’s rollout of their brand new content ID system and happen to like doing your own lets plays/videos with monetezation enabled you miiiiiight not like what’s been going down.
The new content ID system is so sensitive that it picks up on music from within your game. Once it detects a match you’ll get a copyright flagged, normally automatically done by a youtube bot. This has caused some big YouTubers like AngryJoe and Total Biscuit to stand up and say something.
The whole thing is ridiculous. Even to the point of small companies getting flagged over music in their OWN game trailers.
If YouTube doesn’t do something soon they might have people march off and vote with their own feet. Remember, MySpace used to be the most popular website out there until Facebook came along. YouTube may be owned by Google, but there are alternatives out there, and if you’re going to alienate some of your users then it might be time to set sail to a different location. Even I’m looking into other options.
Slept in on Black Friday
I slept off a good turkey coma. Woke up today with feeling happy that I didn’t have to endure this kind of shiz:
That was all to be expected. He got kicked out because he wasn’t buying anything or attacking anyone! I like how the cops didn’t do anything either. How is this even fun?
And finally a fight over a TV…. a fucking TV.
Of course. Right now as I speak I am shopping around online for some cool deals. Unfortunately Newegg doesn’t really have anything spectacular. But I am getting some nice presents from places like World Market and Amazon. I think I’ll hit up ebay next.
