Some Welcome Humor
Yesterday, I thought that this blog snarkifying comments made by Prop. 8 supporters was the funniest thing I’d seen in ages.
I was wrong. This picture is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages. McCain looks immature, undignified, and cretinous.
LizardOC’s snarky reframing of the “fundamental repugnance of the confidently bigoted” makes me laugh and provides some much-needed cheering up. I’m working hard and so are many other people, but sometimes, I’m so tired. I’m tired of constantly having to fight for rights and social justice, and I’m tired of encountering bigotry and hatred. It can be wearying. But it’s necessary and I will never stop. And so endurance and laughter are key to staying in for the long haul.
To quote the inimitable Molly Ivins,
As a life-long Texas liberal, I have spent the whole of my existence in a political climate well to the right of that being created by Ronald Reagan and his merry zealots. Brethren and sistren, this can not only be endured, it can be laughed at. Actually, you have two other choices. You could cry or you could throw up. But crying and throwing up are bad for you, so you might as well laugh. All you need in order to laugh about Reagan is a strong stomach. A tungsten tummy. – The Progressive, March 1986. p. 84 in Molly Ivins…Can She?
Spam Spam Spammity Spam
First piece of spam I’ve received in a while. It makes me wonder – for the people out there with penises, with or without ED, does being able to sustain an erection for a longer period of time make you happy? Does it make for better sex? And what about the people on the receiving end of the longer erection? Is the sex better or just longer?
Personally, I’d be more interested in spam that taught people how to have better sex and didn’t conflate longer erections with better sex. There are lots of people that can maintain erections and are horrible sex partners. There are lots of people that can’t maintain erections and are great sex partners. There are lots of people that DON’T HAVE SEX WITH PENISES and have long, happy, good sex. A hard on isn’t the sole determinant of good sex. Can we please move on from a phallocentric world? Thanks.
Unintentional Hilarity
In the brief and rarely updated existence of this blog, a few trolls and idiots have come over to display for posterity their misogynist, male privileged, whiny, and attention-craving stupidity. Sometimes they’re annoying and sometimes they’re amusing, given that the folks who feel the need to call people misogynist names often don’t demonstrate a great deal of logic or, well, intelligence. So here’s a new feature: Unintentional Hilarity. Feel free to point and laugh! :D
*snicker* In response to my post on Superbad, this comment by the cleverly named “Human” popped up in my inbox this morning:
Guess what? Women are sperm recepticles. Didn’t anyone ever tell you how babies were made? (I love and respect women, but the fact remains that that’s what women are for, and men are for providing the sperm – both pointless and cyclic existences; any other achievements or purposes are temporal)
I loved the movie, funniest thing in existence.
Where in merry hell did you get rape from? You’re all just looking for excuses to beat on about feminism.
I hope this angers a lot of people – maybe it will drive them into using their brains, if for just a second, and seeing that shit dribbling from the corners of their mouths.
You couldn’t have demonstrated any better that your existence is both pointless and cyclical. Cute choice of handle, by the way – male privilege in action to assume that everyone shares your viewpoint universally, “Human.” Now, run along and play with your toys, sweetie, and let the intelligent folk carry on their conversation.
On a side note, something I often wonder is how people such as “Human” function, with reading comprehension skills and logic skills that terribly low.
