This is just odd, fun and goofy silly retro. I am not sure what else one can even really say?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009Nano tech kills cancer, next the world
Monday, June 29th, 2009
I read on digg today that inn Australia they have apparently created a nano cell that attaches individual cancer cell and kills then (story here). It has worked flawlessly in mice and human trials are to start very soon.
I don’t know the difference between a nano cell and a nanobot but my guess is they are both pretty damn cool! Now I am sure some evil mad scientist is already reworking theses things to attack other things as well. So soon the world will be consumed by nano cells.
Prepare Timmy and get ready to greet your new nano overlord!
AP goes for asshat award
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
Apparently AP is now shooting for top asshat of the year award. Not that there were not already ass hats for previous actions. It is nice however to have you asshattedness reconfirmed from time to time I would imagine.
They have put a very restrictive social networking policy in place for all employees (see story). Basically stripping them of their freedom of speech by telling them who they can be friends with and what they can post on their private social networking profile.
Come on AP pull your head out of your nether reagions! One of the largest news organization in the country and they want to curb freespeech and control what you do. Great… remind me to stop (or never start) reading any AP content.
Bad cop update
Monday, June 22nd, 2009In an earlier post (linked here) of some cops being the idiots they tend to be I made comment on a 72 year old that was tasered by police. It is the one in the forth paragraph. Well since that post a new video from the cop car has been released. It shows the woman being very rude and combative even though in the video I linked to originally she claims that was all a lie and that she was not combative.
So as it now sits a rude nasty grandma met up with a rude peckerhead officer on the same day and this episode then took place. I even said in my post that the dash cam should be released and now it has. It changes very little however for me. It does prove the grandma was very rude and angry. But it also shows the officer asking her to get out of the car after she refused to sign the ticket. First off I am pretty sure you do not have to sign the ticket so had the officer not forced the issue all this would have been avoided. Second if she was being rude and nasty in the car why did he not call for backup before trying to make the situation worse? How did he think taking a mad old lady out of a car was going to do anything but make it worse! Third he did shove her a little but I think he was doing so in her best interest to keep her angery old ass off the road and out of harms way.
So yes the grandma was very rude but I think tasering her was a little too much (this is open for debate). I think an officer always needs to ask themselves if the chance of killing this person is justifiable for what they have done. Tasers can and will kill. An officer never knows what is going to happen when they fire a taser. It could hit an eye, short a pacemaker or cause a seizure.
Most important though is that the officer is supposed to be the bigger person (my opinion) and not aggravate the situation. By removing her from the car and by forcing her to sign a speeding violation he make a bad mix far worse. Also had he explained things to her better maybe the whole thing would have turned out better? Final verdict… Both are idiots!
Palin is still a dumb ass
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009In the below video you can see Dave Letterman’s poor joke and Palin’s horrendous over reaction. In case you missed it Letterman made a short joke about Palin’s daughter getting knocked up at a baseball game. Letterman claims he thought the 18 year old was the one in attendance. Of course she was not. Palin’s 14 year old daughter was the one there.
So Palin being the thin brained nut she is makes statements that Letterman is condoning rape and the exploitation of young women. She makes sure she says “statutory” rape each time but she does use the word rape as much as she can. Not only to insult Letterman but also to try and get some sympathy for herself I would imagine.
First off if it is “statutory rape” then she is not a “woman” right? I mean the reason those under 18 can not have sex, and we know they never do, is because they are not yet adults able to make their own choices. More important to me is that Letterman never said anything about rape. He lead one to believe sex had taken place. Sex and rape are NOT the same thing. I have never been raped nor have I ever raped anyone but I would imagine voluntary sex at any age and forced sex are not even remotely similar. To accuse Letterman of encouraging this is in my opinion far worse than Letterman’s actual joke that was done in poor taste. Palin should be apologizing to Letterman not the other way around. You never heard her make any claims that her oldest daughter was raped by her now husband. She was also under 18 when she got knocked up. If I remember correctly didn’t Sarah Palin lie about that pregnancy?
If you want to protect your family do not go into politics or become famous. Once you take part in politics you are fair game just like a movie star. This is the curse of the wealth and fame and you can take it or leave it. Palin even goes onto say we should all “rise up” against allowing comedians being allowed to make this sort of comment. This is ridiculous! I thought free speech was an important part of the constitution? Yet further proof Palin is not fit for any political office. She wants to squash our most important rights. She also implies in this video that Letterman is a pedophile. Come one you twit pull your head out of your ass. She then continues to rant about the last election and how she was not treated fair. The election is over… get over it, sop up the tears and stop trying to make us feel sorry for you.
When you have free speech you will be offended from time to time at what is said. That is the way it works. It scares me every time a politician talks about guns, drugs, speech etc etc. Every single one of them wants to take away all our rights and put us all inside a little box where they can just toss crumbs at us.We do not need more laws! We need to have less.
So in conclusion… Palin shut the hell up you spotlight seeking shit box idiot. If she ever runs for any office ever again other than president of the local waste treatment plant I would hope the population would be smart enough to send her packing. She is an idiot and like every other politician she wants to strip us of all and any rights.
Ghosts of Di’ablo - Wacky good or low budget bad?
Thursday, June 11th, 2009A friend of mine (he may dispute that) has acted, edited and what-ever-all-else in the below “blockbuster” Ghosts of Di’ablo. I have not yet watched the whole thing but I am so far moderately entertained. Below is just a 10 minute chunk of the thing. You can watch the whole this as well as some “making of” stuff on YouTube at the Di’ablo page. It beats the hell out of Poultrygeist or Jesus Christ Vampire Slayer. Both of which I watched recently and both of which are horrific.
Maybe I just find some enjoyment out of Ghosts of Di’ablo because I am associated with those involved? My only complaint is that the credits in the beginning are freaking horrific. Terrible choice of font and even worse that they used a font in all caps that should never have been abused in such a fashion. Poor little font. If Eric ever happens to read this post I make no apologies and hope that typographic choice was not his!
Lets start a wear a mask shopping day
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009After watching the below video I really think we need a national “wear a mask shopping day”. Anyone with me on this?
I wonder how much fun could be had if one day a year people just went out shopping in a stocking or mask? I bet it would not happen more than once before bastards started rising in arms that we need laws banning masks. Everyone seems to think we are constantly in need of more laws. I bet it would not happen more than twice before some nut got trigger happy and shot someone just because they had a mask on.
Hell if they can sell those retarded hoodies with a hood that covers the whole face I should be able to wear a stocking over my face right? I am not against the face covering hoodies I just do not understand them. Why would you want to cover your face unless you are robbing a joint? If it is that cold that you need to cover your face to stay warm a thin hoodie is not going to do shit. Apparently they have been banned in schools etc… go figure! The makers LRG are upset. I am not sure what the hell else they expected?
Dubya edited to truth
Monday, June 8th, 2009Regardless of your political views you must admit the below video is pretty impressive. There is some very good editing and I dare say a LOT of time involved taping all these video and sounds bites together. It is like looking through time using a truth scope of some sort!
Wheels gone stupid
Friday, June 5th, 2009So one cave man says to the other… “You know chasing these mammoth and saber tooth tigers is fun and all but I need some real danger in my life. I have been working on this new thing I like to call the Getem-Go-Fast. What do you think?” The other can man says “Dude punctuation has not even been invented yet so we better stick to one word. How about the Wheel!” Then the first cave man says “It is too damn bad the patent had lawyers have not been invented yet. I bet if we patented this sucker we would be able to sue the bejeezus out of people for the rest of our lives.”
And ever since they we have been making new and surprisingly stupid things with wheels in an attempt to end our lives early. I thought it was just a more recent thing and that inventors had a personal hatred for kids. Turns out I was wrong. We have been making stupid wheeled things for a very long time. It just so happens that adults had realized falling down sucks. So it is up to the kids to buy and use stupid wheeled things.
For example the the classic Penny-farthing which was that stupid bike from the late 1800s with one huge wheel in the front and one tiny itty bitty wheel in the back. I think you mounted it with a flying gazelle like leap and a ton of luck? Then came roller skates and other foot powered death machines. So Wikipedia tells me the roller skate actually came out before the penny-farthing but I think it did not really catch on till we started paving the planet? Later we had the skateboard and then of course roller-blades. In your local Walmart you can now find those ridiculous scooters with tiny wheels and this new two wheeled skateboard deal called a rip-stick I don’t even understand?
Not to be outdone adults are still trying to injure themselves on wheels as well. It is just that they don’t want to fall and get hurt which takes weeks to recover from. Instead they want to go so stupid fast they just die if there is a problem. So we now have the one wheeled motorcycle and the Segway. I guess the Segway is really not that fast?
The point… well sorry I don’t have one. I just watched the below video for the Duoped and it made me think, “We have done a lot of stupid shit with wheels”. Thank goodness this contraption did not catch on or we would all have flat faces and no front teeth. NOTE: The total lack of helmets, lands sake!
Well looky here a couple good cops!
Thursday, June 4th, 2009Like unicorns I was beginning to think good cops did not exist! Yet the below video actually shows a couple decent cops. Now of course I would not post a video on that fact alone. This video is also posted because it is funny.
First off the cops never threaten the person with the camera. This is huge! They love to make threats against people with cameras so this impresses me. They also never punch the guy in the face or overly man handle him. Actually they hold him so loosely he actually gets away in the end. My only objection in this video is that before the cops taser the suspect they give him no warning or notice that they are going to do so. I doubt it would have mattered as this guy is obviously crazy.
It is also funny that the cops make no attempt to chase after the suspect once he gets out of their grasp. Anyway bravo officers and I really do hope that crazy man gets nabbed because he is one messed up crazy dude.
More cops playing criminal
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009
I have posted several of these “cops doing bad” type posts now. I am not sure I ever pointed out I am not some softy who thinks all criminals should be coddled and taken care of in a nice fashion. Quite the opposite is true. I think once convicted any broken law should be enforced with extreme punishment. If you kill someone in a planned and thought out fashion you should also be deigned life. If you steal from others you should go to jail for a very long time. If however you do drugs a slap on the wrist is fine as long as you stay at home locked up and don’t hurt anyone else. It is when you endanger others or impose your will and actions on others that I think the long arm of the law needs to come down hard, fast and strong. This enforcement however is not the job of small minded, ego driven, arrogant, racist, donut fueled officers. If you don’t like the idea of taking another life as retribution for their crimes I can go that route as well. Have Dubai use one of the many islands they built as a prison. Just drop all the lifers and other extreme felons on that sucker and let them all just work it out themselves for the rest of thier life. Then they are away from the rest of us and we can still sleep well at night knowing we did not kill them as they did to others.
Now on with the show…..
More from Texas! The cops in Texas pull motorists over and take their shit. If you buck at this they threaten to send your kids away and lock you up. Yep this seems perfectly legal to me! Come on, why are these cops not locked up for life. They are uniform wearing thugs and as such should be held more accountable for their actions.
Seems in Wisconsin cops can just slap a GPS unit on your car and watch where you go. They don’t even need a reason or warrant! I guess they need to do this because if they had to leave the donut shop they would burn a few calories? Anyway I am not overly worried about this in and of itself. I am worried about what it leads to. Cops can follow you around in public so how is a GPS that much different? The problem is it gives these big headed ass hats in uniform one more reason they feel justified inĀ trampling all your rights. Also I am pretty sure if I slapped a GPS on a cop car I would be in violation of some law. So why can they do it?
More in Texas where everything is bigger (well except for the brains) an elderly woman of 72 is tasered. FYI: The older you are the more likely the taser will end your life! This was done by officer “too dumb to tie his shoes” because the 72 year old great grandma got violent and verbal after refusing to sign a speeding ticket. Here is a video of her being interviewed. First off lets just say officer dim wit is right and telling the truth, even though they refuse to release the video from the cop car that would of course prove his story if it were true. Now if he is telling the truth what threat does a 72 year old inside a car pose to a fit donut eating officer? She had no weapon! But of course she used her tongue (if true) and I suppose his little ego got bruised. Most important however is that there is NO LAW stating she must sign this ticket! So why was she being harassed into doing so?
This little ditty relates to the above story. A man was tasered once again for refusing to sign a speeding ticket which if you read above is NOT AGAINST THE LAW. This man won a $40,000 law suit against the department. But of course he did not obey the officers every ridiculous request. Here is the video. So the video news story linked claims the cop had the right to use the taser but that he should have communicated to the victim better first. First off the cop asked him out of the car, then he started acting like a dick instead of explaining things better. I have said it before and I will say it again… Why must we always under all circumstances obey an officer? They are human hence they make mistakes. In addition they are ego based donut fueled assholes. If you fail to obey an officer and it was inappropriate for you to do so by all means you should be punished for that in addition to the original problem; like if you run. On the flip side if an officer is an ass and jumps right to threats and force then they should be equally punished and held accountable for not doing their job properly and safely.
—- As a side note I did security at an amusement park one summer. Now talk about a job with no respect and a silly pointless uniform! I did not even have a flashlight for crying out loud, just a pair of rubber gloves and a band-aid in case someone skinned their knee. Yet I never had any issues asking people to conform to my stupid requests like don’t drink in the parking lot, and miss please cover your perky nipples as bras are not allowed to be exposed. Yes they lied, yes I had to repeat myself several times, yes they snickered at me, yes I was pissed but I kept my cool and refrained from making threats and letting my ego get the better of me. In the end I won the day and all were happy. So all I am saying is that instead of showing small minded enforcers of the law how to use a taser, all the while telling them how safe they are, that we should perhaps teach them some manners and interpersonal skills!
Once a suspect submits to the cop and is laying on the ground the cop decides he is not quite done yet. So of course the cop kicks him in the head! Yet just one more example of an officer taking out their aggression on a criminal just because they want to.
A cop pushes a woman down some stairs. The good news is the cop is being investigated. The bad news is he is still getting paid to work behind a desk while this is sorted out. The real kicker is the cop filed assault charges against the woman! Just to be an ass I suspect and to use this intimidation to get her to not file charges. Because of the files charged against her the victim lost her job. I am not sure why she lost her job and that seems wrong but it is due to officer ass hat none-the-less. When this officer gets convicted all his wages after the incident should be taken from him. Then he can go get a job at a turkey farm or something. So cop assaults a woman, she presses charges, he also presses charges. Then his allegations are dropped because he is a bastard telling lies. Meanwhile he still gets paid and the woman is now unemployed! The only reason he is even being investigated is because of the linked video. Think about how much of this crap happens that never goes anywhere because it is just the victims word against the officer… and we all know officers are always right and never lie so there is no point investigating them!!!
Apparently cops even like to harass those in the business of saving the lives of others. There is a video along with this story. In this tale of woe the cops get all pissy and attack an ambulance driver with someone in the back of the truck because he did not yield to them. They were apparently going out on their own call at the same time as the ambulance. First off maybe they should have just done nothing and let their huge freaking egos rest for the day. But more importantly they claim they were attacked first. The video I watched clearly shows the cops placing a hand on the ambulance driver first then him pushing them away. Had the ambulance guy truly attacked first he would not have been standing in this video at all because the cops would have had him pinned to the ground and tased. Once again I fail to see why you must always submit to a law officer when they are clearly in the wrong? In cases where the officer acts out of the bounds of the law they need to be punished severely. If you attack a cop fist you will be lucky to get away without some serious damage must less your life. Yet if they just decide to push people around because they dropped a donut or because their ego gets in the way it is OK?? I don’t see the logic?
I think the human brain is malfunctioning
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
I have no solid evidence but I am pretty sure the human brain is malfunctioning and preparing for meltdown. I thought in the good old USA we were making dumb laws and doing dumb things at an alarming rate. We seem to enjoy making everything illegal and slowly pushing everyone into their home and under their bed so we can better control them. Well it seems the same is happening all over. This little ditty is about the pub laws in Britain. They have so many permits and laws in regards to pubs the owners don’t even know if they are legal or not! For example you need a permit to play music, another to allow patrons to play dominoes. Then if people may watch the domino game you need another permit to allow for that! What kind of stupidity is this?
So I am pretty sure we have evolved to a point that we just want to control every little part of every person’s little life because of course no one is smart enough to make their own damn decisions. We as a human race are so very very dumb, and doomed.
