…y'know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet!
Get the widow on the set…!

I'm going to get something off my chest here, and I'll say in advance that it's with all due respect to any friends and comrades reading this who I've worked with since A16 — hell, since before Seattle, even. You know who you are.

(ahem)

I'm going to keep this as short and to the point as I can — I hope — as I consider any time spent on this huge, wretched, stinking heap of rotting red herring that is the whole Cartoon Female Objectification Pissfight to be time utterly wasted.

I'm appalled to the goddamn' bone to see that so many "activists" (spit) are so totally unable to understand the real issue here — indeed, to even understand where the real struggles and real enemies are in general — because their brains are so totally soaked in the party line that they don't have enough neurons left to formulate a single original, free thought. This is the kind of mindless "thinking" that's made the US Left a worldwide laughingstock — and I mean, among other Leftists.

If these people have issues with the news networks objectifying women by putting nothing but a bunch of cheesy tarts on the air, why the hell don't they take it to MSNBC, take it to Fox, take it to CNN — just don't get all over my goddamn' case about it, because I'm just calling this shit as I see it.

They're as bad as the goddamn' Christians…they exude an attitude that says "we hate sex, we hate sexuality, we hate eroticism, we hate womens' bodies, we hate beauty, we hate art". These are the kind of people who raise hell over college professors hanging copies of Titian's "Odalisque" in their classrooms because it Objectifies Women (spit).

They harbor a mentality no different from John Ashcroft who, apparently, is so sexually repressed that he couldn't even handle the bare breasts on a marble statue of Lady Justice, and blew a chunk of the DOJ budget to have a cover made for them, to the tune of about ten thousand dollars. Yeah, that's right, ten grand of your tax money and mine, to COVER UP THE TITS ON A GODDAMN' STATUE. I'd invite anyone here to show me how the modern edition of shrieking, bitching, howling, self-absorbed, PC dogma-fixated, shark-jumping Amerikan Feminism is any different from the censorious Christians, or the goddamn' Taliban, for that matter. Hell, there's even a post up here from some Feminist(tm) suggesting that the anchortart in the cartoon be "fully covered" — in just those words. So, what, do you want me to draw a version of her in a goddamn' burqua, then? In your dreams. Afghanistan is about five thousand miles that way. Please, fucking go there, if you have that big a problem with cartoon cleavage.

Jayzus. Here, the government of this city is doing its level best to suppress public dissent, one million Iraqi dead, and these people are shitting themselves over THE TITS ON A GODDAMN' CARTOON CHARACTER. And, you know what's really sad, what really kills my ass dead is that these goddamn' groupthinking drones really do think they're radicals.

That's right. They think…they're…RADICAL. (spit)

I think that if the antiwar/antiglobalization cargo cults want to find out why the Working Class(tm) and Black America(tm) don't want to "follow" their middle-class collegiate white asses, they should take Bob Dylan's advice and Stand Naked in front of the mirror and take a good hard look. Here we are with the best chance over of finally dismantling the status quo, and the only thing the US Left can do is to spout weak-assed shopworn dogma, anguish over stupid bullshit and just generally act like a bunch of goddamn' losers.

Now, I normally don't let this kind of shit bother me — hell, I don't even read the comment threads on my stuff most of the time — but here we are with free speech being seriously threatened by the State in this city, and the only thing these goddamn' college poseurs can do is bitch about the tits on a goddamn' cartoon character…and at my age, I just don't have the emotional energy to spare to put up with these fucking people anymore.

Phew. There. I'm done. Thanks.
