A boy is struck in the head by flying car parts at the monster truck show and killed. People start leaving in droves. You would think the show is over. Investigation commenses and all vehicles inspected, right? Not for Monster Jam. Fuck the dead kid! The show must go on!
What were they thinking? A kid is dead and you just go on with the show as usual? Yeah, the crowd didn’t like it either. The Tacoma, Wash. crowd started throwing beer bottles at the offending truck.
Monster Jam released a standard “we are saddened” statement, but offers no explanation as to why they kept going with the show. Monster Jam? You’re idiots.

I’ve seen a lot of infomercials in my life, but this one is the worst ever. A company called IdeaVillage Product Corp. is selling big, ugly, “European-styling” sunglasses that make you see in HD. Nevermind that your eyes see better than “High Def,” these “HD Vision Wraparounds” will “enhance your vision” and they apparently look as good as designer sunglasses. Another person exclaims, “It makes things almost brighter.” Wow!
Here are some other fine products IdeaVillage sells. A credit card size digital photo album? Why would you waste space just for a bulky electronic device that only does one thing? I also doubt it would fit in my wallet. The other products are standard infomercial products. They sound useful for one thing and I can see those things working. But HD sunglasses….HD SUNGLASSES!?! Those don’t exist! IDIOTS!!!!
Johannes Mehserle. That name screams white supremacist. That would explain why this guy, a cop for the BART public transit system (California Bay Area), killed a black man in the back while handcuffing him. This story wouldn’t be as interesting without the numerous videos taken during the arrest. Thanks, cell phones.
What happened before the shooting? BART police officers were called early New Year’s morning because of a reported fight. During the arrest, you can hear plenty of heckling and the cops struggling to keep the suspects under control. The victim, 22 year-old Oscar Grant, supposedly stood up without permission and this resulted in the attempted handcuffing. Two officers, including Heir Mehserle, try to control him. Mehserle pulled his sidearm and shoots him once in the back. The other officer jumps back. By the way Mehserle looked at his partner, I think he’s shocked by what happened.
The first theory I heard was that Mehserle mistaken his gun for a Tazer. Maybe, but are they that similar in weight and feel? Are both located on the same part of the belt? I doubt it. My theory is that Mehserle just freaked out with all the heckling and multiple suspects that he was trying to control. It’s like wanting to slap crying kids…except you shoot the kid with a 9mm Beretta instead. I don’t know what Mehserle was thinking. He’s an idiot and hopefully, he gets fucked by lady Justice. Only after public outcry, Mehserle was arrested and charged with murder.
An airline passenger forced to cover his Arab shirt was awarded $240,000 in a lawsuit against two TSA officers and JetBlue. Ironically, the shirt said in Arabic, “We Will Not Be Silent.” Well, he was forced silent and won money. Good for him!
Apparently, Raed Jarrad was forced to wear a JetBlue shirt over his Arabic shirt after he was told that other passengers felt uncomfortable with his shirt. My question is: Why can’t I do this with babies? I feel uncomfortable with babies sitting next to me on airplanes. Can you tape their mouth shut? No? Oh, so why appease the racist passengers? Idiots.
I usually associate big ass fonts with breaking news that changed history, like the moon landing, Kennedy’s assassination, or Obama’s victory. Websites like the Huffington Post and Drudge Report demean the importance of the big headline. They have low standards for what is considered huge news.
Sensationalism isn’t new in news media, but it also seems like more news outlets are trying to “break” more news to attract more viewers. The Fox News Channel loves to keep the red “NEWS ALERT” graphic on their screen all the time, which feels like a light version of “BREAKING NEWS.” CNN also likes to post the “BREAKING NEWS” graphic for the same story all day long, especially during the Situation Room and Anderson Cooper 360.
As with all discussions about news media, who’s fault is it? Who are the idiots? The media or the people consuming the news? I’ll take the easy way out and say it’s everyone. We’re all A.D.D. idiots.
Fuck, can we get this over with already? One thing I hate more than a pointless war is a long, continuing, endless, pointless war. When the U.S. and other countries try calling for ceasefires, truces, and peace agreements, they can’t seriously think that they’re helping the situation. It’s like putting a lid over a boiling pot. It’s always going to blow at some point. There’s no point to stopping the fighting. Let them keep fighting until the Israelis and Palestinians realize they’re fucked. Until then, each side thinks they can still win and you can’t stop that fanatical fervor with anything….ANYTHING. A thousand babies could be dead (I’m pretty we’ve reached that point already) and both sides will still think they can win.
Finally, for those you don’t understand the Israel-Palestinian conflict (that’s everybody), it’s pointless to make sense of it. One thing you should understand is that there are idiots fighting over a piece of “holy” land. That’s also part of the problem as well…it’s fucking “holy” land. War over “holy” land. Do the idiots see the irony?
Swedish folklore dictates that a goat delivers festive gifts for Christmas. Every year since 1966, the town of Gavle, Sweden erect a giant straw goat for holidays and almost every year, this giant straw goat gets torched by vandals. The town officials keep trying to prevent this giant bonfire without much luck. They even go as far as fireproofing the goat with sprayed chemicals and posting security guards. And yet, it was burned down again this year. A BBC News article reported that the goat committee spokeswoman was “saddened” by the destruction.
Are town idiots running city hall? Why is this hard to figure out? From the way I see it, this town has two solutions.
1. Accept that this straw goat is destined for fire and make it an annual bonfire
2. Stop making a FLAMMABLE goat!
“A tradition without intelligence is not worth having.”–T.S. Eliot
Shaun Connell on his website, ShaunConnell.com, claims to be “a professional web-publisher, philosopher, psychologist, student and freelance writer. Jack of all trades, master of none.” Let’s parse that down, shall we?
Professional web-publisher: If you’re using Firefox or Safari, it’s obvious Connell is not much of web-publisher because his shit website doesn’t even render properly. I think the only thing he tried to do with that Wordpress theme was to put a banner at the top, which 3/4 of it is cut off by bad coding. Plus, he has phrases like “click here” that aren’t linked to anything. Idiot!
Philosopher: Everybody is a philosopher. Thought about the meaning of life? Great, you can call yourself a philosopher. Fellating Ayn Rand? You’re not a philosopher. You’re just insane.
Psychologist: Unless Connell has a doctorate in psychology, then this guy is just a psychology major. And if he didn’t study psychology in college, then he’s a fucking liar.
Student: He sure looks like one.
Freelance writer: Blogging doesn’t make your a freelance writer. Connell also sucks as a writer. Check out this beautiful piece of prose: Even the philosophers who preach the restriction of men, and the redistribution of their wealth, believe this. If a poor man forced his way into their wallet on the street, they would be upset, whether the money would be used or abused — it doesn’t matter. That was their money, dangit. Lock also talked about this, saying, “I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.” Bingo. “Their wallet?” “Dangit?” Who’s Lock? You mean Locke? “Bingo?”
Shaun Connell, self-described jack of all trades? You’re a jack of all idiocy.
“We are not convinced the Angels’ tote bag giveaway was in anyway unreasonable, arbitrary, or invidious discrimination,” the court wrote. “Cohn’s complaint gathers further suspicion because Cohn, his friends, and his counsel have been involved in numerous of what have been characterized as ’shake down’ lawsuits.”
The San Francisco Giants haven’t won a World Series since moving to the city in 1958 and they haven’t had a winning season in the past 4 years. That doesn’t make them idiots though. There are more worse teams out there…cough! Pirates! ack! Orioles! It’s the fact that the Giants have made some idiotic decisions in the past few years that will keep them crappy for a while. Let’s take their minor league system, which hasn’t produced anybody good, with the exception of pitcher phenom Tim Lincecum.
The Giants also have the stigma of being a team of old players. I think this stigma started in 2002, when the Giants went to the World Series. Baseball fans saw a team of old starters. Benito Santiago and Barry Bonds were 37 years old. Shawon Dunston was 39 years old! Only one starting fielder, David Bell, was under the age of 30. After losing the 2002 World Series, the Giants continued signing old players, like Omar Vizquel, who signed in 2003 at the age of 38. They just signed Edgar Renteria to replace Vizquel, who is a little younger at the age of 33, but is only an average player. The most upsurd news from the Giants recently is the rumor that the team will sign pitcher Randy Johnson, who is at the toasty age of 45! Idiots.
