southpark and jihad.

Not sure how up on the news my readers are, but recently there's been a backlash against Trey Parker and Matt Stone (the creators of the cartoon "Southpark") for their depiction of Mohammed in their 200th episode.

According to their religion he isn't supposed to be depicted at all and so one radical Islamic group has gone as far as to say that they will meet the same fate as a Duth cartoonist who was murdered in 2004. They also listed addresses where Matt and Trey could be found. They did mention that this wasn't a threat, but a reality of what will happen to them. Sounds like "It's not a threat it's a promise" to me.

This issue is kind of near and dear to me. Matt and Trey helped shaped me into the comedian I am. They have this "no holds barred" mentality and make fun of everyone and everything. Nothing is off limits...until comedy central censored parts of their show (not the big black censor bars if you watched, but the monologue at the end was all comedy central's call).

But Mohammed (mo' ham ed...no wonder they don't like the non-pork eating jews...even their prophet is fundamentally against Jewish Beliefs) is supposedly sacred...yeah and Christ isn't? What about Joseph Smith? The creators of Southpark really do make fun of everyone. Some may think this is in bad taste, some may not approve of the show...that's fine. Don't watch.

My criticism of the Muslim faith comes from the fact that there aren't just one or two radical extreme crazies out there with fucked up beliefs...there are hundreds of thousands who believe that they should smite the non-believers. I mean sure many religions have passages of violence in their respective holy books, but when was the last time you saw the Christians go on a holy crusade?

I for one am getting sick of hearing about Fatwa's (like the recent one against Kelly Clarkson for having a cigarette company sponsor a concert in Jakarta) and Jihads (like the one against America...the great Satan). If you want your religion to prosper peacefully, then be peaceful. Really grow up. Remember sticks and stones can break your bones, names can never hurt you...most importantly suicide bombs will kill you.

woe is me

Well, I am out of inspiration, they shut down my ads and donations have mostly come to a stand still.  However, everyday I find neat things on the internet (clearly this occurs when I am at home and in my freetime.  Never ever ever at work).  So here are some of my epic finds for the day.

I looked for her for years in elementary school, if only I had known to look on chatroulette.  I guess all the penises you see on that webpage are point to her direction.

So this is not a picture from the movie "Lord of the Rings", in fact this is a picture from the volcano in Iceland (I didn't use the name because seriously who can pronounce it...or spell it for that matter?)  There are some more pictures that show the lightening bolts are actually purple.  Quite possibly the coolest/most terrifying thing I've seen.  100% real.  Crazy.

Kick Ass! Rarely does the title of a movie also describe it....

....For instance, the movie "Remember Me" doesn't make me actually remember the movie.  However, Kick Ass! was aptly named.  Now I don't want to go all snobby on you, but I was a fan of this comic book since it's inception (which was only about 2 or 3 years ago).

Perhaps the most refreshing thing about this movie was that it was a completely fresh idea, which can be summed up by asking one question:  "How come no one's ever dressed up as a superhero to fight crime?"  While it's something I've asked myself before, I didn't have the presence of mind to think about making it into much more than a passing thought. 

"Kick Ass" is the story of a really dorky kid, Dave,  who decides he's going to become a superhero.  The problem, as his friends point out, is that a hero is only a hero unless they have a super power.  Dave certainly doesn't have any super powers, unless you count adolesence as a super power (he gets horny at the mere thought of a breast).  It turns out that someone doesn't need a super power to change the world though, by standing up to crime, he gets other people to take notice...in essence to do something.

I really don't want to spoil the movie for you, in fact, this is one of the few movies that I would recommend spending your money on.  I'll leave you with these thoughts.    The movie is far better than the comic book,  the characters are all pretty awesome, it has a killer story line, and oh yeah an 11 year old girl who kills badguys and in most scenes steals the show. 

Not often that I'll give this rating, but 5/5 - go watch it now.
