Where The Rubber Meets The Road

Darkie Toothpaste - REALLY whitens.

Have a racially charged breakfast!

Whatever happened to these beloved images from our nation’s youth? Why haven’t we seen advertisements like these on television or in magazines lately?

I’ll tell you why. Whiners. Politically Correct whiners. Our country was attacked by Middle-Eastern rodents, and there hasn’t been shit for retribution, but put a proud image of noble black people on a box, and everyone goes apeshit. No wonder this country is failing.

What is it with these crybaby, PC, NAACP, ACLU, BS whiners? It’s all about cashing in. Companies spent millions of dollars on developing these logos, marketing, and franchising the products, and now the PC whiners want a slice. That’s all there is to it.

On a completely unrelated note, excepting that all of the above arguments were made by commenters on CBSSport’s's football site in favor of the the following: the Washington Redskins won another case against Native American representatives who sued to make the team change it’s name.

Hooray for white people. To quote Frances McDormand‘s Marge Olmstead-Gunderson, I just think I’m gonna barf.

If you don’t know who Keith Olbermann is, he is the host of MSNBC’s Countdown, and is very ferocious in his tirades against the excesses of the reactionary right. What I find disturbing about this video is not that it lampoons Olbermann or any other thing about it. What I find disturbing is that a video of an actor creating a caricature of a talking head has produced some absolutely unbelievable commentary from our unwashed masses. Particularly sad is their using a simple comedy sketch as a jumping off point to spew some of the most outlandish horseshit I have read in a long, long time. A sample (reprinted with uncorrected spelling and grammar):

Perhaps GE and olbermann will be happy now with their new socialist government.

Hope all you losers enjoy your check from Hussein Obama. Dont smoke or drink it all at once.

I’m praying for the country. I don’t understand how people can vote for someone (Barack Obama)with a shady past.

Im sure Chavez, Putin, and Bin Laden will be thrilled Tuesday night. America has lost its mind.

Really all you Far left people want the gevernment to take care of you like your babies it’s pretty funny really.

name me 1 thing that Obama accomplished.NOTHING!!(teaching ACORN how to commit fraud doesnt count) He is the least experienced, least vetted presidential nominee ever. The liberal media will not allow anyone to ask a question about Obama. They put this guy in a bubble and all he does is rehearsed speaches

If I told you 4 years ago that our next President 1)has no experience 2)the next crisis he faces will be his 1st 3)started his career in the home of a terrorist 4)spent 20 years in a church of a pastor who preaches anti white and anti USA 5)went back on his word on campaign financing AND BOUGHT AND STOLE THE ELECTION 6)is a crook because 1/3 of his contributons are undocumented 7)is a socialist 8)was shielded from any questioning by the liberal media 9) was scared to debate in town hall settings

I am embarrassed as an American that we may have a President with no credible experience or accomplishments (teaching Acorn how to commit fraud does not count) and has many, many radical associations. The other countries must be laughing at us.

r u kidding me. why do you think these countries dont like bush u fool. cuz they know if they try anything that they shouldnt that bush will stick a smart bomb right up there ying yang. you dont get it. mccain will do the same also. why do you think ppl like hamas are excited oabamas getting elected. not cuz they know theyll b friends. cuz they know that obama has no clue in this world. look at the cuba brothers. they like him to i wonder why. dude i knw ur not that dum

fadel castro and the other brother like obama they know that if mccain is elected that he will not put up with any of there garbage just like all these other countries. and you obama suporters are stupid enough to think that their endorsment is actually a good thing for obama? wow i geuss if you let he bill airs rec wright flagerd resko thing go then you dontcare about castro chavez or hamas endorsing obama either. once again ppl spewing hate for this gods greatest country ever side with obama?

Good gravy, some people are stupid, stupid, stupid.

If you’ve never seen South Park, you’re missing the only heir to the long-vacated throne of satire. Not since All In The Family and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour has a show unflinchingly taken on a sleeping public and the completely ludicrous horseshit they allow to pass unchecked.

If you think South Park is just fart jokes and foulmouthed cartoon (third and)fourth graders, then you are not paying attention. Take the episode, “Christians Are Retarded” for example.

The main thrust of the episode revolves around new Disney teen music sensations, the Jonas Brothers, and the rise in teen stars wearing “purity rings” (meaningless symbols of a commitment to remaining a virgin that fail 80% of the time) and running their callow mouths about their overly developed sense of pride in their overly valued virginity. The South Park boys (Matt and Trey, not Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Eric) then let it rip when Mickey Mouse stops by to rough up the Jonas Brothers and explain (in his trademark high-pitched voice and “huh-ha” laugh) to them why their misguided desire to ditch the purity rings will not be tolerated:

“Oh, gosh, fellas. Let me explain this to you one more time. You have to wear the purity rings, because that’s how we can sell sex to little girls. See, if we make the posters with little girls reaching for your junk (Here a typical band poster shows the Jonas Brothers on stage with the aforementioned not-too-subtle hands reaching out from the crowd toward their gyrating hips), then you have to wear purity rings, or else Disney Company looks bad.”

Later, when the (cartoon character) South Park boys try to stop the madness before it claims their friend Kenny, Mickey blows his stack and rants to the boys and the Jonas Brothers:

“You think God is in control here?!? I am in control! I’ve been in control since the fifties, in case you haven’t noticed! You three faggots (Jonas Brothers) are going on stage, and you three faggots (Stan, Kyle, and Eric) aren’t going to stop me! Nobody is ruining this event! I have worked too long and too hard to have anybody to fuck this up! Where would you be without me, Jonas Brothers? Your music sucks and you know it! It’s because you make little girls’ gineys tickle. And when little girls’ gineys tickle, I make money. And that’s because little girls are fucking stupid! And the purity rings make it okay to do whatever I want! Even the Christians are too fucking stupid to figure out I’m selling sex to their daughters! I’ve made billions off of Christian ignorance for decades. And do you know why?!? Because Christians are re-tard-ed. They believe in a talking dead guy!”

While it’s important for kids to have positive role models, those role models should be their parents. If not, then something is wrong, and Disney is hardly the best choice for a replacement – and a heavy-handed, force-fed replacement at that. The cynical profiteering off religious fervor and just plain ignorance has long been a cardinal sin of organized religion. Companies like Disney are even worse, and for once, someone pointed it out. And that’s why South Park is still relevant.
