Entertainment Tonight: Unraveling the Fabric of Society

 
I had the pleasure of catching 10 minutes of "ET", or "Entertainment Tonight", which I think should stand for "Extra Terrestrial", because I’m pretty sure it’s hosted by a freakin alien!  No seriously, of all the people they could have picked as a host, they decided to go with the freakiest, creepiest, android-like creature ever, with wide eyes permanently locked into an excited stare.  EGADS!

Cyborg Host – Model T600.11

Now I know what your thinking: that this is a show covering American things and has nothing to do with Canada.  But it’s aired in Canada, and Canadians clearly watch it(and there may even be a Canadian version).  This involves more than just Canada, though.  I’m pretty sure this involves the entire planet, because after watching 10 minutes of this…..show, I’ve decided that we are all doomed. 

Offered in high definition, ET treated me to 3 segments of soul crushing terror.  Right away my senses were bombarded with screenshot after screenshot of Rihanna’s beat up face, rapidly zooming up on various cuts and bruises.  It felt like the camera was raping her face.  Now I thought this was old news, having spotted it on digg.com weeks ago.  I Guess not because I had to sit through images of domestic abuse flashing over and over into my brain at speeds that only my subconscious could comprehend, while all the gory details came pouring in.  And then the announcer promised us that she looked much, much worse later at the hospital.  That’s fantastic.  Glad to hear it.   

Keep in mind folks that I haven’t really watched television in a few years.  I knew the quality of television had sunk  quite low, but I was not prepared for the level of obsession and exploitation over Rihanna’s abuse by Chris Brown, whoever the hell that is.  That poor girl.  Is this what mainstream society watches on a daily basis? 

That segment left me depressed and highly disturbed, and as I was contemplating the future of humanity, on came the next segment of this award winning show.  It was some 19 year old country music star named Taylor Swift appearing on an episode of CSI, and ET was kind enough to take us behind the scenes.  Swift told us all about how she just like, loves CSI more than anything in the world, and like, playing a dead body is so awesome, and like, woah, there’s like, blood all over her dress, like, how cool is that you know?  Like, OMG she’s such an AWESOME ROLE MODEL! 

Just as I was about to leave, fearing I would vomit all over my friend’s nice couch, it was time for an important OCTOMOM UPDATE!  YES!  We looooove you Octofreak!  Keeping track of a billion children sounds rough.  What a sacrifice she is making! And it turns out she DID get plastic surgery.  I fricken KNEW it!  I totally called that one.  I’ve been constantly telling my coworkers how I know deep down in my heart that Octomom had plastic surgery, and that I would die trying to prove it if I had to. It became a dark obsession that threatened to leave me jobless and homeless.  Yup, Octomom finally came clean; she had breast reduction surgery………………………

Good bye.  It was nice knowing you.  It was nice to see all the trees and creatures and beauty that nature has to offer, before it gets ripped away by the massive overload of stupid, soulless, money obsessed, celebrity obsessed people that are educating themselves on nothing but pure trash television.  Which one of you mental mutants will be the next Prime Minister of Canada or the President of the United States?  How many of you will assist in changing our laws to suit your world view, which has been molded by this twisted corporate garbage?    

It is my opinion that shows like ET and CSI are slowly crushing the last drops of sympathy towards others out of society.  Abuse, murder and domestic violence start to feel normal.  And then the human race destroys itself.  The end. 

I’d say god help us, but it’s now clear to me that god is dead and rotting in some serial killer’s basement(airing next week on CSI).

I Have a Website/Blog!

Wait a minute…  I have a website?  …… Oh boy…..  How long’s it been since my last update?  2 MONTHS!  Wow.  Okay…. well, it’s time for a quick recap of the last 2 months in Canada!  GO!

Ummmm ummmmm ummmmmm ummmmmm, well the Liberals got a new leader, Michael Ignateb?  Michael Imhotep?  Anyways, he’s the new liberal guy and I’m sure he’s super cool.

Barack Obama came here yesterday.  Him and some of our leaders discussed some stuff.  All I can remember is that they ate fancy food, including bison.  Yes, bison, which is terribly fascinating and relevant.  Thank you CBC Radio 2.  Maybe Obama and crew should have talked about how to help all the starving people in the world and then ate at a local mom and pop restaurant.  Heh, world leaders are so cool!  And rich!

Anyways, ummmmmmmm Jack Layton is still doing his thing, whatever that is.  Doin stuff… criticizing….stuff.

Stephen Harper?  Well he’s doing the usual stuff.  You know, running the country.  Doing everything in his power to increase our liberties.  Nursing orphaned kittens.  You know, the usual.

Who else do we got?  Ummm The Christian Heritage Party still hates abortion and other human rights.  I don’t foresee much change over there.  At least until their members all die off of course.

Uhh, sheesh, I can’t recall much else at the moment. 

I promise I’ll try to update more in the future.  See, since the new year I’ve been distracted;  I moved, and I’m still recovering from that.  I’ve been slaving for my corporate masters endlessly, and this whole political blog thing just kinda slipped my mind you know?  I think I owe it to my 2 subscribers to at least keep them current.  Expect more frequent updates from now on.

Have a nice day/evening!

Christmas Letter From Our Government

Hey, check out what the government sent me:

"Dear Citizen,

We all know that Jesus is the reason for the season.  It’s a fact.  Look it up.  It’s called Google.  You can look up facts in Google.  It’s on the Internets.  Look it up.  You will find that it is indeed a fact.

Now.  Pour your money into buying Christmas gifts.  Seriously.  Bye tons of shit, koz we need to stimulates the economies, duh!  Don’t you realize we are in a recession?  Go into dept for your corporate masters!  Our future depends on it.   Excessive capitalism will make Jesus come back!

We get paid ridiculous amounts of money to run the country as we see fit.  And we don’t like it when you educate yourselves, so just accept that we are doing an exceptional job and keep living your lives, and keep on buying stuff.  You deserve it, because your lives are likely much harder than ours.  Honestly, we appreciate you!  Your tax dollars pay for our swimming pools.

Merry Christmas!

From,

The Government.

P.S.  Try Walmart for same crazy Christmas bargains!  Grab a Walmart credit card!  Interest rates range from 10% to 20%, which is no big concern really if you think about it.  You don’t even pay interest if you pay it off within a year!  How fantastic of them!"

Ontario Updates Ancient Animal Cruelty Law

I decided to focus on a bit more positive Canadians news.

Our animal rights laws were 100 years old, so in an effort to appease Canadians, the Conservatives passed a bogus bill, S-203, despite petitions from Canadians and every animal rights group in Canada condemning this bill.  There was even a better one, bill C-373, that actually closed loopholes in the law that prevented people from being prosecuted.  Once again the will of the people was ignored. (This isn’t the good news).

So it comes as a nice surprise that Ontario passed Bill 50, which updates alot of things including the right for law enforcement to inspect facilities for animals used for entertainment, as well as making it illegal to train animals for fighting and owning animal fighting equipment.

Once convicted, an individual can be barred from owning an animal.  Penalties have been stiffened.  It’s mostly focused on zoos and other attractions, and it’s by no means perfect, but at least it’s something.

Canada lags way behind other developed countries in it’s animal rights laws.  Currently a piece of white trash can leave their dog starving on a chain for it’s whole life and not be charged.

Bill 50 is at least a step in the right direction and hopefully the rest of the Country will catch up once the Conservatives leave.

Propaganda and Boredom Dominating Canadian Politics

Stephen Harper has done the obvious and convinced the Governer General to let him suspend parliament until January.  He will spend the remaining time coming up with a budget that will satisfy us and…. the British Empire I guess.

BORING.

Bob Rae dropped out of the Liberal leadership race, leaving Micheal Ignatieff to be the leader.

BORING.

I know I said in my last article that this will be an interesting period, but I was wrong.  It’s BORING.

I was listening to News Talk 650 the other day and they had a segment called "Stephan Dion, Should He Stay or Should He Go?".  Here was the typical insightful remark of the average caller:  "He should go, DUH!  Because…he sucks and….well he just plain sucks."  I hate bandwagon jumping.

BORR-ING

The last few days for me have been nothing but boredom and anger.  Anger at all the gullible Canadians who are falling for the onslaught of anti-Liberal propaganda that’s been circulating, perpetrated by the news talk radio stations and I assume the conservative television networks.  Canadians who got a few petition requests in their email and suddenly feel they need to stand up for their democratic right.

I will explain it for you.  Whether you voted for the NDP, Green Party, Liberal, or Block, you voted AGAINST the Conservatives, and for a "liberal" government.  Ignore all the pundits and people complaining about the so called "blatant power lust", and variations of that theme.  It’s propaganda, and it’s not relevant to the bigger picture.

It’s extremely important that we get the Conservatives out of power.  They are dangerous, and the most undemocratic of any of the parties.  Why not do some research and decide for yourself who the greater evil is instead of agreeing with the overreacting population?  Let’s think of the bigger picture okay?  I’m not going to get worked up over other’s speculation about motives.  I care about what really matters: The environment, liberty, and social progression.  The Conservatives are the antithesis of these values.

Let your common sense do the talking, not your in-box.

Thoughts on the Possible Canadian Coalition

I tuned into CBC radio and thought I heard a bunch of children squabbling, but suddenly I realized that it was our country’s leaders in a heated debate in the House of Commons!  Oh boy!  Somethings up.  Something big!  Aaaaaah…. I see.  Thank you for educating me CBC.

WELL, this possible coalition is generating some serious backlash from people.  I keep hearing that this is just a power grab, has no real benefit to the country, etc.  I think the biggest piss off to us, the democratic citizen, is that we have no say in this.  Well we are saying, but I don’t think the government really gives a damn!

Since I never really thought of us as a democracy in the first place, and being not surprised, I immediately tried to look on the bright side.

Let’s see…. they have the chance to remove an insane bully from power…… ummmm let’s DO IT! What are we waiting for noobs?  Coalition this shit already.  We can speculate on motives, but really, who cares?  Let’s turn this government back into at least a pseudo democracy again.

What’s that CBC?  You said Stephen Harper was wire tapping members of other parties?  Oh his party members just illegally recorded a private meeting and released it to the public?  Just that?  Okay.

Take those fuckers down!

But wait!  Who will lead us?  Stephan Dion? Meh. Let’s give Jack Layton a turn.  I wanna see if he’s truly the legend he attempts to be.

I guess in the end it’s up to the Queen of England.  Or at least her delegate, the Governor General.

Canada are politics.

This should be an interesting few days.

Coalition Governments In Canada

Should Canada Bail Out Our Struggling Companies?

Whaat?  The automotive industry wants bailout money from the taxpayers?  But that’s capitalism yo!  Millions of people could lose their jobs? …Oh… ummmmm, wow that kinda sucks.  But look what the banks in the States were doing!  They took expensive vacations and flipped the bird to the American people!  But I guess that’s different.  Millions of job losses VS a few rich douchebags not making millions.  There’s quite a difference.

That’s rough.  I’m not a fan of corporations to begin with, so I kinda want to see them crash and burn.  But on the other hand I don’t really want so many people to lose their jobs.  It’s a tough situation for sure.

*shrug*

I’m sure our goverment will do what they think is best.  Stephen Harper is an economist isn’t he?

Have a great day!

Displaying the Confederate Flag in Canada

What’s with Canadians displaying the confederate flag on their vehicles all of a sudden?  I’ve started noticing it here and there in the past few months, and today I took a short drive and I saw it on 3 different license plates in one trip!  I’m confused about what these people are trying to prove?  Are you trying to look bad ass? I want to know the message they are attempting to send to their fellow Canadians. I’m a hick and proud of it? They must not be aware of the controversy surrounding that flag and probably have no clue what it represents.

Even if you’re not intending to be racist, why put it up and risk the possibility of people thinking that you are? It really doesn’t help either that almost every vehicle I’ve seen it on has been a beat up pick-up truck with an angry looking dude driving and his terrified girlfriend riding shotgun.

I could very well be overlooking something. There may be some sort of profound modern age symbolism that I’m unaware of. But if your goal is simply to look like a bad ass, then you fail.  All I see is a racist hick.  Sorry.

Conservatives Fail to Secure Majority

So, despite all the terrible things the Conservatives have attempted during their reign, like stamping on our freedoms, cutting funding to important health and art programs, and trying to sell us out to corporations, a bunch of Canadians decided to ignore these terrible things and vote for them anyway.  Did these people just choose to ignore all that like it never happened?  They forgot all of the terrible things Harper said about Canadian citizens, and all of the fascist bills they tried to pass?  I suppose Canada has more rich people than we realized, trying to get more money at any cost.  Sigh… greed will likely destroy us all.

Perhaps it’s because we had the worst voter turnout in history.  Chances are the people who didn’t vote are the ones who would have voted for the more liberal parties.  The reason for this is a ton of people, including me, weren’t aware that we needed photo ID as well as proof of our current address.  I drove home and got a utility bill but most of them just went home.  Also, students living on campus weren’t told that they needed to get some form from their colleges, because the address on their voting form was generally that of their parents.  So thanks to Elections Canada, the win was pretty much handed to the Conservatives.  I’m certain of this because like, come on, there’s gotta be way more liberal, freedom loving individuals out there than there are rich, white, christian old men(owned).  Or maybe many Canadians pay no attention whatsoever to what goes on in politics and base their votes on the campaign ads they hear on their local top 40 radio station.  All I can say is I’m baffled.

But as terrified as I am of the Conservatives, at least they didn’t get their majority.  I can breathe a sigh of relief and hope that the Liberals and the NDP don’t allow them to pass anything stupid.

What soulless, evil shenanigans will Harper and his buddies be up to this term?  I will be documenting them on this website.  Canada is watching.
