Family Values, Anyone?

Mommy must be so proud.

The MySpace page, publicly available until Friday when it disappeared from the Internet, included cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation; photographs of soldiers with guns in their mouths; a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned “My Sweet Little Habib”; accounts of illicit drug use; and a blog entry headlined by a series of obscenities and racial epithets.

But remember! It's the gays who are defective! This is just good old-fashioned family values!

...................

I'm gonna be sick.

I Hate Everything That has Ever Existed

Seriously. I do.

And of course, it's fucking limited. Couldn't have popped up at a worse time with BotCon, movie toys, a mortgage, etc. Primus, kill me now.

I'm gonna go cry now.

You Can't Make This Shit Up

Jerry Falwell is dead

and

Fred Phelps is going to picket the funeral.

Can I get a WTF? here?!

Credits: sprites are from Pokesho, all Pokémon are shown in their shiny forms except for Azelf, Spiritomb, Riolu, and Combee.

* I cannot verify the legitimacy of either shiny Deoxys due to the sheer number of shiny Deoxys that have popped up on GTS over the past few weeks. Unlike most of them, the two I traded for were at Level 30 and not 100, so I am inclinded to believe that they might actually be legit but I am not certain.

Sweet Sanity

It comes in a little box and only costs $35.00!

Hey, it's cheaper than therapy!

The Son of the Return of Random Thoughts

Simply because it's been a while. Let's have at it, shall we?

*Mitt Romney is an ass. 'Nuff said.

*Don't worry, the melamine meat is okay to eat..... which is great because it's now been found in fish feed. I can see the new ad campaigns now- Long John Silver's: Yarr, Melamine! Red Lobster, for the Melamine Lover in You...

*I got my copy of Pokémon Pearl on April 26th. That game is the only reason I haven't completely lost my mind. Now all I need to do is catch up to Prime.

*I'm sorry, but this is just plain creepy. And am I the only one who thinks the Queen's visit is a non-story?

*This whole tainted food thing has me freaked out. I'm starting to wonder if photosynthesis is the way to go.

*It's May, which means we have about a month or so until BotCon. Not long until I reach Nerdvana.

*I can has lol? Yep, it's Star Trek, lolcats style. Read. Enjoy. You're welcome.

And that's all for today. Join us again when we pick the detritus from my brain and label it "Random Thoughts"

And It Gets Even Worse

The alert has been expanded.

So, photosynthesis anyone? That might be the safest thing right now.....

Plastic, the Other White Meat

First, we had the tainted pork. Now, we have tainted chicken.

And people wonder why in the hell I want to eat organic so often. =/
