  • TV SHOWS: Delocated coming back for a 3rd season!
    This, after the 2nd season hasn't even aired! Long live PFFR! Everything they do is gold! This may be the worst of their endeavors, but the show still must go on!

  • CARTOONS: Space Ghost Coast To Coast: new!!!!: Steve Nash interview
    Always nice when a deceased cartoon [no pun intended] comes back to visit for awhile. Long live Space Ghost Coast To Coast, CartoonNetwork's ORIGINAL AdultSwim Cartoon. This was back when the only adult cartoons were The Simpsons (barely), Beavis & Butt-head(mostly), and Duckman (totally).

  • COPYRIGHT: Disney joins Marvel in copyright fight with Kirby family
    Sick and wrong. I believe THIS comment:

    http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2010/05/disney-joins-marvel-in-copyright-fight-with-kirby-family/#comment-32843

    says it all. That comment is actually more informative than the article itself!

  • SEXUAL FREEDOM: Animal bordellos draw Norwegians
    Bestiality may be disgusting, but if the animals can't be documented as suffering, who is the victim here?

    I had no clue there were "animal whorehouses" in Norway. Not my thing. But I'm kind of impressed with the level of freedom here.

    Dogs DO enjoy fucking humans – they'll fuck anything. Sorry, if the animal is on the *giving* end, there's no way it's being victimized. If it's on the *receiving* end, then it gets a bit more complicated. If the animal isn't tied down, and can run away if it wants, and doesn't complain — again, who is the victim here?

    Let people do what they want. Roll around in a pile of shit for all I care. You're a revolting, filthy human being, but I'd rather let you do what you want than tell you what you can't do.

    Of course, they are talking about closing this hole [no pun intended] up.

    Another thing: Legalization and regulation prevents abuse. Animals are going to get raped no matter what the law is. So why not have some who don't mind it?

  • STUPIDITY: Make A Dare – Dares, videos, pranks, challenges & pictures
    Submit a dare, get videos of people doing it! This is like Jackass meets YouTube! What a great idea! HT Dildo Valerie.

  • CORPORATIONS: The Short Arm of the Law – when companies are too big for the legal system to handle
    A disgusting situation! Pfizer deserved prosecution, but if they prosecuted it, a bunch of people would go without medicine. Therefore, they had to create a fake company and prosecute that.

    Uh – This is the definition of too big to fail. Not the banks.

    This should be considered antitrust. When you are so big that you are above the law, you need to be broken up in the public interest.

    This is not how the original concept of a corporate charter was supposed to work. This is the Americanized corporate beast at work.

    This is the result of unbridled capitalism and corpratism.

  • FOX NEWS: Fox Erases Applause from Obama's West Point Speech
    Wow. Shit like this is why I think Fox News is worse than CNN. I'm glad I don't get ANY television news anymore. They're going for advertising and ratings. News is, generally, meant to be read, not watched.

  • HUMAN RIGHTS: Amnesty report slams global abuses – including USA, Russia, and China ignoring human rights violations by allies
    It's nice that somebody big, who isn't a biased country, can call us out on our bullshit – including shielding Israel from accountability for its war crimes against Gaza civilians. [War crime accusations were also made against Hamas.]

  1. The Destructionist Says:

    May 29, 2010 at 8:38 PM

    THE EVOLUTION OF CAPITALISM

    Capitalism was founded upon basic principles: production, supply and demand, and capital accumulation. It is a social theory whereby prices are determined by profit and loss, as well as market interest and fluctuations.

    Although I understand the need for a free market enterprise, such a theory should not imply that we are willing to disregard our environment, or sacrifice the needs and comforts of our humanity in an attempt to realize higher profits (a.k.a., BP, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, etc).

    Capitalism may be wonderful, but like anything else, it is still a flawed system. It’s a work in progress. It needs to be tweaked here and there in order to perfect its balance and to soothe the inordinate swings that occur day-to-day in our financial markets. If left unchecked, however, such a system will prove to be our economic downfall.

    How so?

    Well, for one thing, there is only so much profit a business can make from a product before it is left to cut costs in both quality and workmanship. In order to continually sustain a profit, businesses have to create those same products with lower quality ingredients and cheaper labor: which means that they must pull up stakes and move to other countries like China, Taiwan, or Mexico in order to survive. What does this eventually mean for people like you and me? It means that the very financial theory that promoted our country to super power status has turned on us. It means that the American workforce is now expected to work harder, longer, cheaper, and faster if we are to compete with the global economy now breathing down our necks.

    Where do we go from here?

    George Orwell had it right, to some extent, when he wrote his book1984. Many years from now, money will become worthless and the global populace will be employed and subject to hundreds (if not thousands) of individualized corporations that managed to survive attrition through merger aquisitions. It will be a feudalistic society: every corporation out for blood and vying for global dominance and absolute power. Our children and grandchildren will be there too: housed, clothed and fed by these various corporate entities; all the while being sent out on occasion, like brainless automatons, to errands of war, in an effort to absorb the weakest corporations into the fold. After all the dust settles, and everything is said and done, the remaining corporations will finally merge into a one-world government.

    Science fiction, you say?

    (…I’m left wondering.)
