Most of my day yesterday, prior to the cooking class, was spent reading a comic book called “Preacher.”
Much of today was spent engaged in the same activity.
I have to say that it really is one sick, twisted, totally fucked-up comic.
That being said, I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy it.
Because I did enjoy it.
Thoroughly.
I didn’t always agree with or approve of everything in it, there were lots of elements that just didn’t work, and I could easily see how more sensitive people who don’t share my appreciation for the blackest of black humor, extremely over the top violence, and casual blasphemy would be offended (to the depths of their very souls at that) by its content, but even so, it was an entertaining read.
I don’t, however, actually recommend it to anyone, simply because it really, really is offensive.
At least it’s offensive if you take it too seriously, and taking things too seriously seems to be the very core of people who are easily offended.
Like that fucktard who’s complaining about goddamn Spongebob being gay.
I mean honestly, what the hell is wrong with people?
This is the kind of shit people worry about?
Somehow it’s perfectly acceptable that our government lies to us, resulting in the deaths of American soldiers (to say nothing of the disruption to the lives of those lucky enough to survive and the lives of their families and friends) and innocent Iraqi civilians, but if there is even the appearance of some sort of impropriety in a fucking cartoon, that’s a big deal?
Hey jackass, instead of worrying about how the gays are trying to "recruit" kids, why don’t you invest some of the obviously abundant time you have on your hands into making sure that some poor kids who don’t have the chance to even see Spongebob to be exposed to his deviant lifestyle actually get enough to eat?
How about crusading for proper health care for America’s disadvantaged?
No, I guess it’s okay that thousands of kids go hungry every day or die from preventable diseases just so long as they don’t watch a cartoon about a goddamn sponge that doesn’t even have any fucking genitals with which to be gay or straight.
What the hell is wrong with you, you miserable, worthless fuck?
I just don’t understand how anyone can get so fucked in the head that his priorities would be so goddamn far out of whack.
It makes it even more puzzling if you look at the bio of the fucktard in question. Maybe once upon a time he did do something worthwhile with his life, but it's obvious that his ability to be useful has dwindled down to nothing.
If you’ve got a wild hair up your ass that makes you want to be an activist, then be an activist for something worthwhile.
And it’s not like it’s hard to prioritize these things.
Starving, sickly kids vs. possible “gay agenda” in a cartoon…gee, that’s tricky, which issue is more important?
At the very least, you should take a long hard look at your issue and see whether or not it passes the “does this make me look like a total jackass” test.
These “watchdog” groups that sift through movies and television programming looking for instances of indecent or subversive materials are just about the most useless people on the face of the planet.
If I were an activist, I might start crusading against them, but I’m not, so instead I’ll just bitch about them here...
Sorry to go on that little rant, but as you can see this sort of bullshit really pisses me off.
I have no idea what I was originally going to write about. I know I was going to talk about “Preacher” a little, which I did, and I’m pretty sure there was something else, but whatever it was escapes me, so I guess I’ll just call it a night.
