Fake Survey+Eating An Alive Frog=Fun (Right?

To contact us Click HERE
Lemmie try some fun today (nonexistent) Gawd, err, I mean Lord, but wait he's the same guy anyways (and btw...they are also a spirit/ghost)...however you want to put it (insert here) that supernatural being knows I need it (1).  I totally win the chinky chong chink slant eyed goober award today because  I checked out another survey. That's two nerdy geeky days in a row.

Yea buddies, that's (a)live frog eating action right there.

So what that the survey was paid for by the company that wants to sell whatevah product that they are selling. It's gonna be fair, right. Anyhoo...

A couple of months ago I read an article that stated that Apple users are more fashionable than PC users. Immediately, I thought is this brand loyalty and if this can be true, then how can it be true and even quantified. OK, wait, turn off your skeptics skeptics thingy that goes off when you (us) hear a statement like that that oozes fallaciousness (that a word, right). I promise there will be no revoking of skeptics cards right now. Promise. Anyhoo (pt. deux)...



DEMOCRATS V REPUBLICANS. Yes, finally that battle to end all is here. Errr, no wait, it's not that intense, but almost. The survey is really about the different products that the different camps use and are associated with. It's the good ol' You know that you are a republican/democrat if you do so and so thing. So let's take a looksie.

Repubs watch the History channel. I don't have a TV so I don't know if that is cool or not. It seems that a channel that shows all history stuffs would be cool. But if the content is no good and just straight up incorrect, then I can see how it could be dookie. Dems like them (us) some Animal Planet, you know, because we are automatically environmentalists, right.

Repubs' favorite fast food is Subway. I'd like to make a joke outta that but I got nothing...wait, lemmie try. Rebubs like Subway because it reminds them of Jesus/their mom/their white part of the country/The Gipper/Israel (laughter ensues). Dems like Wendy's. Both bad choices if you ask me.

To my surprise Team Liberal hearts them some National Football League more so than their counter part. It's weird because football, is well, football. Seems that naturally the perception we are supposed to have would be for the conservative side, with their hearting of war-n-shit, would like them some NFL more so than those commie Liberal socialists. If Liberals liked football that much more than Repubs then how come there are not rules ontop of rules, a referee for the referee and entire infastructure to support that, and everyone is entitled to a trophy. Whatevah..

I swear I Googled Super Bowl and not Bikini Bowl. Swear to God.

Dems like the vehicle brand Jeep more than Rebubs. Couple of things here. Rebubs probably don't like Jeeps because an elephant can't fit in a Jeep and nothing says environmental more than driving a four wheel vehicle, even tho you don't go four wheeling (2).

Dam it. Even tho I'm not watching sports right now my MLB has been hijacked by the Repubs. Libs can heart baseball also. C'mon man.

Repubs go for X-Box and Dems go for Wi. Like I said, I don't have a TVB so I don't know who is a douche right now. I you guys tell me then I will blindly endorse one product over the other...if it goes the liberal way.

This is someones lame attempt to "show" that Rebub women are hotter than Dem/Lib women. So pathetic. I found it here.

And lastly, this was not part of the actual survey, the survey that I believe is fake anyways because my skeptic meter went off the first I heard of it-and I do mean went OFF, but it should be. Is it more important for Team Repub or Team Dem/Lib to control the product that is a woman's body and her reproductive system and potential. Forget about the mental, psychological, altruistic, empathetic , human stuffs, I'm talking about the hardware, no emotions or feelings just the baby making hardware. Because to control this commodity is to control everything. To control a woman's body compared to all the products together listed above...

...controlling a woman's body (and that is totally plural-bodies) is the most important endeavor, so important because not only are you showing brand loyalty, but you are also doing the bidding of the sky father. Somehow, it gives him praise to treat the women folk like dookie and enslave them in a baby making cycle. So...it is most important to the Repubs.

Obviously, right.

* Article Sf Chron

* The totally credible survey that I got all this info from. You know you want to look at it.

(1) That is a very long way to a joke with super bad sentence structure. Sometimes you win and sometimes you go down in flames, or like that person you used to know, sometimes you don't know when to quit the joke, it's getting worse and worse and more and more unfunny, but you keep plugging away...oh yeah...and some times you lose. Aaaaaaaa......

(2) I'm down for four wheeled vehicles if they are being used. If you live I  the mountains (or even frequently go to the mountains) or a ranch, then cool.  If you live in the city....  And correct me if I'm wrong, but don't 4 wheel drive vehicles go by different smog, gas milage rules.

Never A True Atheist

To contact us Click HERE
One of the many reasons I joined Team Atheist is because Team Belief can never ever admit they are wrong or something is not their fault. Hell, God/Jesus is always innocent and if anything bad ever happens then an entirely different being, Satan, is to blame. To be so called innocent forever and ever is impossible and it takes away from the part of humanity, while not easy to admit, where we are with err, where we all have lapses in judgment and make mistakes. You can, Man up and take responsibility for your actions, or you can sidestep that and claim....Satan did it (super lame). It is illogical and irrational, but I guess that is what religion is.

The headline says a prominent atheist blogger converts to Catholicism and that instantly got my attention. Y'all know I had to read that article. Over at Patheos the blogger Leah Libresco, after debating many "smart Christians" for years and years (I've never heard of her until today), has called it quits and her blog "Unequally yoked: A geeky atheist picks fights with her Catholic boyfriend" has gone to atheist blog heaven. Now her blog has been resurrected and it is called "A geeky convert picks fights in good faith." Why?

Just the good ol' where does morality come from-n-moral compass kinda shit. "I had one thing I was most certain of, which is that morality is something we have a duty to. And it is external from us. And when push came to shove, that is the belief I wouldn't let go of. And that is something I can't prove (the former atheist blogger named Leah)."

Wow, fucking wow. Where do I start. First of all...Catholicism. Really. Really.     Really. It seems more likey that an atheist would convert to a deist-y God than a specific God. If the atheist philosopher Anthony Flew really did convert on his death bed (it's been debated), it was to a first cause God, not a specific one. Of all the religions Leah choose to believe in she chose the one that believes in specific stuff like the Trinity, resurrection, end of times and heaven. To go from simply believing that the probability that any God exists is very low to believing that a specific God exists, outta so many, well...it's mind boggling illogical-n-irrational.

Eye can haz funnziez hats. In the name of the Lord, meow.

I wonder to what extent was she an atheist. What was her rating on the Dawkins scale. How much does she know about philosophy, the sciences, occams razor and critical thinking skills. I'll be the first one to admit that me personally am not an expert at anything (still degreeless after all these years), but I think that even a little bit of evidence (or lack of) and introspection overwhelmingly points to atheism as the truthful and correct position. You don't halfta have a Phd in ancient history, like Richy Carrier, to be on the team, but you halfta know something. If she examined a good amount of evidence and she came to the conclusion that the Catholic God is the one true God, hey man, hats of to her.

I could be wrong about this one but...She now believes that ethics and morals come from the heavens above, beamed down in God's laser of morality, and specifically, only thru the Catholic God is this possible. This is what I believe.

She said that morals are "external." I believe that they are internal and that they happen naturally like emotions happen naturally. We can all be scared, feel great or dookie. We can all be happy or sad. That happens naturally. God didn't give you the color of your eyes, genetics gave you the color of your eyes. God didn't shoot the laser of love from the skies to give you ethics and morals, it happened automatically when you were born.

Mommy, how come you have blue eyes and I have brown eyes. Shut up and eat your dinner.

Just like everything else, it is a product of evolution. When Team Human, aghhh, teamed up and started the collective know as, Hunter/Gather'ers things like reciprocal altruism, empathy, cooperation and kindness came about. Before that it probably was (the misused and incorrect term) survival of the fittest and/or everyperson for your self.  If I killed a woolly mammoth then that shit was mine, yo. Until perhaps cave dude had a lady friend that he would share food with, that way he could get in on that (wink wink) and it was more likely that they would survive and their genes could go on to the next generation. Perhaps they started working with others because there is safety in numbers and the probability that a group of peeps, working together, can successfully do the hunting thang is greater than if one were to work alone.

When the shift went to agricultural happened then the tasks of the community became more specific and important. Perhaps some were better at hunting, or better at tending the crops, or gathering. All the while the philosophy of if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours became more and more important. Working together, and succeeding, is where ethics and morals came from. The ones that did not want to work in the group dynamic had a harder time of surviving and thriving. If you were a cavewoman hottie who would you choose, the dude that doesn't have any woolly mammoth to eat because he works alone, or the group of people that do have mammoth burgers and are not only surviving, but thriving. Natural selection weeded out the NOT cooperation gene, while the teamwork/cooperation gene became more and more prevalent. Perhaps.

It's either that, or God beams down morals to us puny humans, otherwise we would not have morals, cooperation, kindness, altruism, empathy, because the classic God did it.

I Googled "God doing it" for this one.

I don't mind that this person converted to Catholicism, in fact I wish her luck on her journey.  WTF do I care if she believes or not (just as long as she is not harming anyone and herself).  It just seems illogical to me. One day you are on Team Reason and Team Atheist and the next day you believe in a one true God and that without that specific God then there are no morals.

They always say it to us, so I'm going to say it right now. Leah was never a true atheist.

I was gonna write about self flagellation around the world, but it was too gross. Poor  religious baby.

* Patheos. Really good hub site for everything belief-y.

* Leah's new blog. Good luck, girl.

* I think it comes down to faith in reason or faith in faith.

Gawd, Please Stay Outta My Beautiful Philippines

To contact us Click HERE


My beautiful Philippines is at it again. We're number one, we're number one. Unfortunately it is in the race to see who can impregnate the most teenage girls in all of South East Asia. I dunno what the numbers for the other countries are, but my beautiful islands is rolling in at a whopping 200,000. Yea, kids having kids. If that is not Gawds love than I don't know what is.

Here in the States we encouragee kids to get a paper rout, or mow the neighbors lawn. In the islands...scavenge.

The Philippines also has bragging rights on the fakey fake contest to see who is the most devout and Catholic in S. E. Asia. Guess what, we win hands down again. I guess we have the Spaniards to thank for bringing their religion to the islands.

Sorry, I don't eat cookies.

Back here in the so called developed 1st world, the Vatican, yes that Vatican, is waging their war on nuns and those slutty girl scouts...oh yea, and teh gays (those hurricane controlling, adorable preppy gays). The link is not up yet, but if you can get a hold of the most recent Time Magazine pull out section there is a great article on the Nun bus tour (1).


There are two thingies going on with the tour. One is that they are protesting GOP budget cuts to social services. So funny, and I believe that this is a (sorta) proof that God doesn't exist. On one had the GOP'ers claim that their budget cuts are in accordance with Catholicism/bible (I forgot which GOP'er said that. The one that wrote the bill I guess), while on the other hand the awesome female clergy (they are considered clergy, are they not) claim that the GOP budget cuts are inhuman and go against the teaching of that guy they all keep talking about, Jesus. Is one side right or wrong, or are they both wrong.


In case you have been under a rock, the Vatican has declared war on the very peeps that are on their side, nuns. The Vatican claims that after Vatican II (yes, that Vatican II), that their precious Catholicism got all weak and girly and, gasp, feminist. Not under this popes watch, yo. Dude is reigning that shit in by sending bishops to *oversee* the goings on of the largest association of nuns here in the states (of course I forgot what they are called. I never use notes. Just memory). Why?

After Vatican II those sneaky nuns, you know in their sincere attempt to help people, suggested that using contraceptives are OK. After all just look at countries where Catholicism is growing, Africa, Latin countries and my beautiful Philippines (which are all 3rd world uneducated and underdeveloped countries. just sayin'). "Just Love: A Framework For Christian Sexual Ethics", by Sister Margret A. Farley (theologian), even tho it came out six freekin' years ago, has been flagged by the good ol' boys club at the Vatican because it says bad things like contraceptives are OK and so is whacking the weeny or rubbing the flesh taco. Not on this popes watch.

I'd fuck that. Just sayin'.

I've said it a million times, I could fuckin' care less what someone believes and does on their own time, that is until it spills out into secular society. You don't like gay marriage, then don't have one. You wanna enslave your priddy lady to a lifetime of squirting out the chill-en, go ahead. Just don't insist that everyone does that. And besides that, don't tell the rest of us that we are wrong, that we are sinners and that we stink (I made up that last one).

I don't mind if someone has faith, until it becomes illogical. Philippines, hello it's Kriss, you guys are a third world country, many of my beautiful brown skinned peeps are uneducated, starving and have to eek out a living in trash dumps and such. 200,000 freekin' teenage girls got prego last year. Shame on you. For fuckin' shame on you. Have faith, but have common sense also.

When I went to the islands in 99' I saw hella poverty. Peeps were sweeping dirt...because it was their dirt, their homes. They were proud and I'll dare say happy. I'm gonna cry now (thanks anxiety and depression).

Hello, the good ol' boys club at the Vatican, the nuns are not your enemy because one of them wrote a book that said contraception is OK. They are being real world practical which is much more needed than ideals beaming down from a fantasy land that may or may not exist. They are using common sense. You know, I think it comes down to Job.

Dude was ready to kill his child upon jagged rocks to prove his faith to an all powerful and all knowing and all mighty God-then God intervened, stopping the foolishness and we are supposed to be happy about that. Fuck that. Use common sense. Why would a Godly all powerful being need praise and need praise in the form of killin' yo chill-en. That doesn't sound like the trait of a God, that sounds like a trait of a human.

And besides that, leave my Philippines alone. We have enuff problems.

* Super good article at Religion Dispatches about the Vatican's response to that book.

(1) The hastily put together nun tour is whomping all over that Fort-nite thing for religious liberty that the dudes put together and have been looking forward to for months and months.

I Thot The Crying Was Over

Like I've said many times, I'm fortunate to live in an environment filled with atheists and the believers in my environment are coolio (thanks guys). So needless to say, I don't play with the other atheist kids out there. For me, it would be like going to work after work (who wants that-I used to. Anyhoo...). The other day I received one of those emails from someone, I was skeptical yada yada yada...but it turned out to be cool.

Foundation Beyond Belief is raising teh monzies for cancer research bla bla bla. You can help and all that stuff. There are many details, but because I'm a blogger and not a journalist, you halfta look up the info yourself (I will at least provide links).

Fuck you cancer cells.

Now, if you are not a Nor-Cal hippie atheist like myself and you relish the chance to play with other atheists...here's your chance, yo. Not only that, it's gonna help Team Cancer promote Team Atheist in a positive light. Still to this day we are despised (WTF is that). Peeps just don't know what an atheist is. Unfortunately for us when people hear the word "atheist" they automatically think of something bad and negative. Here's our/your chance to prove them wrong.

So many times I've written here "Get out there atheist. Let's prove them wrong. Let's show them that we are good also, that we care, that we have all the good qualities that anyone else has. Let's do this." Well, here's your chance. What is it that my hero said, "Name something a believer can do that a nonbeliever cannot do (Hitch said that, right). Oh, here's the capper.

FBB is doing this, NOT to show the world that atheists are cool also (although that is a good side effect). They are doing this because they care. They are doing this because it is the correct thing to do. (Here's the part for lil' old me) They are doing this in part to show tribute to my fuckin' atheist mentor and hero, the guy that I cried rivers of tears for (thanks depression) when I heard of his passing, the guy that made me stay home at nite when I should have been fuckin' hot chicks, drinkin' so much and playing music all nite long, but instead I watched debates online. Really, debates on fuckin' line instead of that other shit.

To me the best part of this is that it is for Hitch. I'm fuckin' crying right now. If you can help out. Thank you.

Hitch-bro. I'll never stop missing you. You're a fuckin' killer. Killer I tell ya.

Saudi Arabia Sexism Olympics And I Need A Smoke

To contact us Click HERE
Fuckity fuck fuck. I feel it comming on right now so I'm a gonna make this quick, while I have brain capacity and all.

What does their pro beach volleyball team wear...the same thing.

A week or so ago I talked about how I thought that sports is a good substitute for religion. After all sports can give you life lessons that are just as valuable and applicable as any lesson that religion can give you. Besides that you will be tan and muscular, like, gee I dunno who. Where religion has been the vehicle to oppress women the past 2,000 years err so, I believe that in modern times, sports is the vehicle that will punch sexism in the face (boy I sure do love sayin' that lately) and demand equality for all those awesome ladies out there.

Caption said Saudi Arabia. Wonder what the crime was.  Driving or dining alone, both.

It is a small step, but it is still a step and as I always say give credit where credit is due you angry atheist you. Recently Saudi Arabia said that it is going to allow females to compete in (some of the) Olympic sports. They still halfta "preserve their dignity" by wearing hella clothes (hopefully they will not be participating in pro beach volleyball-heeellllllooooo), and they still halfta qualify-n-shit but the main point is that the sexist powers that be in Saudi gave the OK for soccer and equestrian (hey, it's a start).
Kind gentle and very good looking readers correct me if I'm wrong on this one, but isn't Saudi Arabia one of those places where women can't drive (find that video, Kriss) and women can't go out to dinner without a male chaperone. Yes, I do believe so. For S.A. to be gracious enuff to open the door, no matter how tiny the opening, well, it's quite monumental and like I said, it's a step in the correct direction.

I saw him first, Kirss is mine, beotch.

I grew up in an environment that was very Latin-esque in that I was groomed to be a sexist pig. I really did believe that men were better than women...at sports. It really wasn't until I went to one dojo in particular, and the ladies there kicked the shit outta me that I started to think "Hey Kriss, your nose is bleeding and you just got brained" that I started to rethink my sexist position.

Look at the great work that Title IX has done here in the states and all the female atheletes that it has produced. Fuck-en-aye man Iran, yes THAT Iran, is training female ninjas. What the fuck. I tell y'all there is no greater athletic equalizer than martial arts. I don't care how tuff you guys think you are, your fuckin' eyes and you brain cannot with stand a four finger eye gouge or what we used to jokingly call bopping the baloney (can't work out those areas. nooooo).

See what-eye-mean

What happens when one plays sports. They gain confidence, muscle mass, critical thinking and analytical skills, reasoning, team spirit, cooperation, role playing and leadership skills. Wasn't there a great advertising campaign a couple of years ago that went something like whatevah dudes can do we can do also, and perhaps even better (I'll answer that, yes).

I Googled equestrian hottie and Aishwaria  came up. Go figue. Everyone must see Bride and Prejudice  

* Iranian female ninjas video

* Article from the paper my awesome sister works for, USA Today.
* This video is too stupid. Don't watch it. I'm ass-shamed of myself.



* OK, here's a better one that is less sexist and less sterotype...




After filming this video...these women were stoned to death. Just kidding. That was a super bad joke. And by super bad, I mean, I'm the funniest thing since sliced bread. Fuck the world, I need a smoke.

Southern Baptist Convention Pass Resolution Asking Obama To Withdraw HHS Contraception Mandate ( Full Text)

To contact us Click HERE

Minutes ago  the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in New Orleans passed this resolution on Religious Liberty that includes a call on President Obama to instruct the HHS to withdraw the Contraception Mandate.

The resolution taken from here  is below.

ON PROTECTING RELIGIOUS LIBERTY


WHEREAS, God has made the human conscience inviolable (Romans 2:14–15; 1 Corinthians 4:3–5; 8:12; 10:29); and

WHEREAS, God has granted to all human beings the freedom to worship or not to worship according to the dictates of their con- sciences (Matthew 23:37; Revelation 3:20); and

WHEREAS, History is replete with examples of the disastrous results of governmental efforts to interfere with individual con- science and religious belief; and

WHEREAS, Our Baptist forebears suffered great persecution from civil authorities, including beatings, imprisonment, and death because of their commitment to the inviolable nature of conscience and faith; and

WHEREAS, The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects United States citizens from any interference by the Federal Government in their “free exercise” of religion; and

RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, June 19–20, 2012, steadfastly object to the administration’s efforts to undermine the religious lib- erty of American citizens; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we call on President Obama to instruct the Department of Health and Human Services to withdraw its insistence that health care plans provide contraceptives and abortion causing drugs and devices and instead exempt from this requirement all religious organizations and people of faith, whether in their pri- vate capacity or as employers, who declare a religious objection to such coverage; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we deplore the provision in the PPACA that sets up a separate abortion fund in health care plans as well as the administration’s efforts to require United States citizens to pay for abortion through their health care premiums contrary to the dictates of their faith; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we declare our support for the Constitution’s recognition of the unique nature of the church and insist that the Justice Department retract its offensive, unconstitutional attitude toward the church; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we wholeheartedly support the ministry of chaplains in the United States military and call on the Obama administration to instruct our military leaders to ensure the freedom of chaplains to minister to members of the armed services according to the dictates of the chaplains’ consciences without fear or coercion; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we express our deepest appreciation for every person who serves in the armed services of our nation and call on the Obama administration to guarantee the right of those who have volunteered to serve to express their religious convictions about homosexual behavior without fear of reprisal; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we call on the Justice Department to cease its efforts to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act and instead engage in a vigorous effort to defend this law of the land from every chal- lenge; and be it finally

RESOLVED, That we pledge to defend the God-given and constitutionally guaranteed right of every American citizen to worship God freely in thought, word, and action, according to the dictates of his or her conscience.

I Don't See Dead People - The Loss of Obits At the Times Picayune Problem

To contact us Click HERE

When I read the print edition of the Shreveport Times the first I go to is the obits. I have always found obits interesting. A whole person's life laid out in a few paragraphs. They also serve the purpose of course letting you know if someone's death should be important to you.

Which brings us to the Times Picayune and their sad 3 days only print edition.

Funeral directors anticipate losing reach of daily obits



8:15 am Fri, June 22, 2012 POSTED: 08:15 AM Friday, June 22, 2012

Area funeral directors wonder what will happen to their business when The Times-Picayune cuts its print schedule to Wednesday, Friday and Sunday this fall. The answer may be in Michigan.
 
I sadly don't have a paid subscription to the  CityBusiness to read the rest of the article to tell me what's up in Michigan.
 
However I have a few observations. For whatever reason I don't access obits online  when I am out of town. Printed obits have the following advantages
 
-First you can do a quick scan of pictures to help key you in if you know the person.
 
-Second a quick visual scan can alert you to friends and family of the deceased that would alert you to the fact that you might need to attend, send flowers, or at least give a call.
 
The above factors don't come into play when the ususal custon is you have to CLICK on each name to get the obit.
 
-Last but not least in a city like New Orleans where many don't have computer internet access well it is a problem,
 
A sad and perplexing problem for the New Orleans area where death is not be shunned , but is often celebrated and noted.

I just saw this quote and how apt it is for this week of prayer, study , and action on Religious Freedom

Blessed Thomas More is important today, but he is not as important now as he will be in one hundred years from today. -GK Chesterton(1929).

Oh Boy Chesteron was not just whistling Dixie on that.

It is the feast day of both  Thomas More and John Fisher. See a great overview here.

This well done and engaging site that has the writing of St Thomas More is really worth a visit and a bookmark. Going to spend some time looking at it tonight.

Saint Thomas More, pray for us.

Saint John Fisher, pray for us.

Today I am happy to continiue that. Abita Deacon has a great article about how a Priest is teaching  Ignatian spirituality classes and other Catholic classes at San Quentin to the inmates. It is having quite an impact.

Not going to  bash the now dead Father  Robert Drinan  after recent allegations of sexual assault came forward. See Fr. Drinan's War on Women

A person on twitter brought up something as to this issue that has continued to bother me. That is the columnist talked about 3 sexual assaults on her person. Only one person , the dead one , was mentioned by name. That person cannot defend himself.

I have no idea it it happened or not. But the above fact makes me want to avoid slinging arrows at a dead Priest.

Shackle Sneakers And Monkey Pussy

To contact us Click HERE
What, no monkey.

Really, people are getting paid to make this kinda stuff up but I'm an unpublished writer. For sure there is no God (that, and I never tried). Let's get down to it....

This is an ugly product...

...really, really                     really. Not only did someone, but someonez' (plural), let this project go from start to finish...and this is what they came up with. Ladies and Gentlemen, I proudly present to you the Shackle Shoe. Gi figure, butt much of the whoop-la is that this product could be interpreted as something to do with slavery, and I can see that , but...

...the attempt by the designer and the philosophy the selling points, the theme of the whole campaign, if you will is that your shot is so awesome that you have to shackle your shoes to your ankles because otherwise you would lose them. Makes perfect sense, right. The average person would think that first, rather than slavery, right. Who wouldn't (everyone )?


It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not. They can make whatevah product they want and we can choose whether to buy them or not. Life is full of choices. If you don't like the song on the radio, then turn it off. If you don't like gay marriage, then don't have one. We can even choose whether to criticize the makers of the shoes or not (but who would skip that opportunity).  


The only thing that can make this any better is if the commercial was a monkey dunking on a different monkey, like a baboon or something, and the first monkey's shoe came off. Fast forward to the next scene which is the same thing, but my monkey bro (that really represents black people, there I said it) does a double cross over on an (this time) orangoutang, slams on him all the whilst...keeping his shoes on because of the slave like shackles (the last seen is monkey bro partying with a bunch of bonobo hotties (1).



The actual and, ya know, real promotion is Got a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles.

Really, people are getting paid to come up with these ideas.                                    Really

(1) If you don't know what a bonobo is then I revoking your biology card.

They are a woman based society and the bro dudes place in life is determined by his hotties position in the group. Which means that she is in control.

This is made of awesome. I like going to the Pew Research Home page because there is always a survey about religion and/or atheism...but, not this time kiddies. This time, to my delight, there is a survey about....me. Yes, me me me. There is way too much good statistics to mention here and this page has an easy to navigate synopsis of the whole deal-eo.

The survey called The Rise of the Asian Americans is so freekin' epic, with many great points, but the statistic that immediately stands out is that, Asian immigrants are, err, immigrating more than any other peoples. Wow. Really. With all the whoop-la over immigration this past couple of years and all the horrible laws that have been passed (that mostly affect peeps of the Latin brown skinned origin, or nonexistent heaven forbid, Islamic brown people), you would think that those lazy Mexicans, with their 10 jobs and all (really, how can one be lazy, but have 10 jobs) were winning the immigration race by lots and lots. Apparently all the media and political hype is teh wrong.

It's counter intuitive. At first blush it would seem that those promiscuous Mexicans are much more sexual than my sexless Asian counter parts. But the numbers don't lie so guess we do "it"...but don't tell anyone.

The numbers don't lie, baby. You can read them and weep, or you can read them and discover the truth. What the fuckity fuck fuck-"e" sound-ness is up with the war on brown people trying to come to American and better the lives of their current and future generations. After looking at the numbers, all the bigot-ed-ness from the conservative right is focused on the wrong group. Their battle cry is, "Them dam Mexicans are steelin' our jobs," "Them dam wet backs are using all out resources-n-shit, by wanting education and health care fer there young-ins'." When the real enemy is my team, Team Asian.

What if the question were asked, hey big fat white man politician guy, what about all the Asian peeps, my peeps, are they not doing more damage (infrastructure costs, health care, welfare, school, all the police that are needed to round them up and surveillance them), because, ya know, our/their numbers are larger?

I Googled "crickets and siamese cats" for this one.

Crickets.

This survey is tremendous and you know I have much to comment on: Tiger parenting, family structure, gender roles, parent children relationships (the hierarchy of it, and God is in there) education, acceptance into white mainstream and even counter culture, interracial marriage, closed and open societies-n-shit....(Hmong v Black, Viet v  Chinese, Arabic v White, some are omore open than others).

Looks like I have me something(s) to write about allllll week. You guys should read the actual survey and at least this article from the SF Chron.

Awesomeness.

We are not just the stereotypical business man, sexless, clean cut, straight edge,, short hair, or the mandatory martial arts master with long hair, pure and clean-n-shit. I'm of the martial arts practitioner that has long hair and I totally drink and smoke. I'm Asian too.

* Kriss, it's me (that's you). You need to remember the topics first generation, the Filipino breakdown, personal statistics from my kid memory because you know that will be totally accurate-n-shit, education and the fake degrees from third world countries( lure your stupid white ass right into our brother/cousin/but really the husband "trap", the Asian male as a sex symbol (or lack of), Siamese cats...

Lemmie try some fun today (nonexistent) Gawd, err, I mean Lord, but wait he's the same guy anyways (and btw...they are also a spirit/ghost)...however you want to put it (insert here) that supernatural being knows I need it (1).  I totally win the chinky chong chink slant eyed goober award today because  I checked out another survey. That's two nerdy geeky days in a row.

Yea buddies, that's (a)live frog eating action right there.

So what that the survey was paid for by the company that wants to sell whatevah product that they are selling. It's gonna be fair, right. Anyhoo...

A couple of months ago I read an article that stated that Apple users are more fashionable than PC users. Immediately, I thought is this brand loyalty and if this can be true, then how can it be true and even quantified. OK, wait, turn off your skeptics skeptics thingy that goes off when you (us) hear a statement like that that oozes fallaciousness (that a word, right). I promise there will be no revoking of skeptics cards right now. Promise. Anyhoo (pt. deux)...



DEMOCRATS V REPUBLICANS. Yes, finally that battle to end all is here. Errr, no wait, it's not that intense, but almost. The survey is really about the different products that the different camps use and are associated with. It's the good ol' You know that you are a republican/democrat if you do so and so thing. So let's take a looksie.

Repubs watch the History channel. I don't have a TV so I don't know if that is cool or not. It seems that a channel that shows all history stuffs would be cool. But if the content is no good and just straight up incorrect, then I can see how it could be dookie. Dems like them (us) some Animal Planet, you know, because we are automatically environmentalists, right.

Repubs' favorite fast food is Subway. I'd like to make a joke outta that but I got nothing...wait, lemmie try. Rebubs like Subway because it reminds them of Jesus/their mom/their white part of the country/The Gipper/Israel (laughter ensues). Dems like Wendy's. Both bad choices if you ask me.

To my surprise Team Liberal hearts them some National Football League more so than their counter part. It's weird because football, is well, football. Seems that naturally the perception we are supposed to have would be for the conservative side, with their hearting of war-n-shit, would like them some NFL more so than those commie Liberal socialists. If Liberals liked football that much more than Repubs then how come there are not rules ontop of rules, a referee for the referee and entire infastructure to support that, and everyone is entitled to a trophy. Whatevah..

I swear I Googled Super Bowl and not Bikini Bowl. Swear to God.

Dems like the vehicle brand Jeep more than Rebubs. Couple of things here. Rebubs probably don't like Jeeps because an elephant can't fit in a Jeep and nothing says environmental more than driving a four wheel vehicle, even tho you don't go four wheeling (2).

Dam it. Even tho I'm not watching sports right now my MLB has been hijacked by the Repubs. Libs can heart baseball also. C'mon man.

Repubs go for X-Box and Dems go for Wi. Like I said, I don't have a TVB so I don't know who is a douche right now. I you guys tell me then I will blindly endorse one product over the other...if it goes the liberal way.

This is someones lame attempt to "show" that Rebub women are hotter than Dem/Lib women. So pathetic. I found it here.

And lastly, this was not part of the actual survey, the survey that I believe is fake anyways because my skeptic meter went off the first I heard of it-and I do mean went OFF, but it should be. Is it more important for Team Repub or Team Dem/Lib to control the product that is a woman's body and her reproductive system and potential. Forget about the mental, psychological, altruistic, empathetic , human stuffs, I'm talking about the hardware, no emotions or feelings just the baby making hardware. Because to control this commodity is to control everything. To control a woman's body compared to all the products together listed above...

...controlling a woman's body (and that is totally plural-bodies) is the most important endeavor, so important because not only are you showing brand loyalty, but you are also doing the bidding of the sky father. Somehow, it gives him praise to treat the women folk like dookie and enslave them in a baby making cycle. So...it is most important to the Repubs.

Obviously, right.

(1) That is a very long way to a joke with super bad sentence structure. Sometimes you win and sometimes you go down in flames, or like that person you used to know, sometimes you don't know when to quit the joke, it's getting worse and worse and more and more unfunny, but you keep plugging away...oh yeah...and some times you lose. Aaaaaaaa......

(2) I'm down for four wheeled vehicles if they are being used. If you live I  the mountains (or even frequently go to the mountains) or a ranch, then cool.  If you live in the city....  And correct me if I'm wrong, but don't 4 wheel drive vehicles go by different smog, gas milage rules.

This Seems Like "Fun"

Sure, it looks like a party, but don't forget skeptics, the five senses can be easily deceived.

I'll just say it. I would go to a three day hipp, err, Christian Festival with hella (Christian) bands and (Christian) hotties. And that is just what Wild Goose Festival is. Yeah buddies, three days of music on different stages, (I think you camp there) and unlimited seminars on Jesus. Fuck yea. Where do I sign up.

Friend or foe, or...faux.

No really seriously, I would check it out. Wild Goose East is June 21-24 (North Carolina) and Wild Goose East is Aug 31- Sept 2 (in what is probably the way cooler Portland). This is one of those events where I say give credit where credit is due. Sure they are promoting Christianity, which by it's nature is exclusive and elitist. But besides that, the organizers have the gumption (yes, I just used the word "gumption") to invite an out lesbian musician to the event last year (Gasp). That's something, right.

I'm lesbian, Christian and proud...even tho y'all think of me as a sinner. Jesus is Lord.

Wild Goose's executive director, Gareth Higgins (really, your parents named you "Gareth" What the hell is that), "We want to build friendships with everyone who comes. Sexuality causes people to divide themselves along intellectual positions. Rather than divide, we want to create a space that promote the common good." Very well said, Gareth if that is your real name. That is why this atheist would go to your event.

The nature of religion is divisive. It is us or them, our way or no way. When you add sex and sexuality, well, that is where all the super illogical-ness of religion comes and with that comes the Christian double speak and that whole not making sense thing that skeptics and atheist keep talking about. Anyhoo...

I don't really want to talk about their organization, the event, or theology or anything like that. I wanna talk about me. Me me me.

I got this phot from an article dated May 12, this year. the headline is "We will always throw bibles into the crowd."

Remember in the 80's there was the Christian band Stryper. They were a big deal and a big deal for Christ. They had the big hair, Marshal stacks, wammy bars with locking nuts and spandex. The thing is is that they sucked. I can acknowledge that they had mad skills, but their arrangements were winda dookie. Oh course I haven't heard them in a long time, but I'm pretty confident with the 1980's Chris' (I was Chris back then, not Kriss) feelings and review of the band at the time-they sucked. In fact...

(No offense xtians) But everytime Christians try and do something mainstream, or nonexistent heaven forbid, something counter culture and alternative, it just doesn't pan out. When Christian kids try and dress cool and hip, they look like a Sears catalogue. They look like their conservative Christian parents, and yet the cool parents, dressed them up to look "alternative", but they really look like a sore thumb sticking out.

Just like the 80's metal that Christian bands tried to imitate, well, I wouldn't call their results metal. And that goes for all the styles of music. Does hip hop in a church sound the same as hip hop in the club. It would be obvious to me if you played a Christian and non-Christian punk rock band back to back, which one is which.

Don't get me started on Christian hippies. I'll just cut to the chase. They look clean and look like they got their clothes from JC Penny's, Meryvns or Sears. Those are not hippie outlets.

Like I said, no offense. But what about the festival itself. Of course I can only assume but I think I have a pretty good idea that the Christian music festival would not be like my Nor-Cal hippie festivals. This is what I go to.





     There is a tremendous amount of drugs and alcohol, people drinkin in the morning afternoon and at nite, people walk around naked, in fact the last one I went to the showers were co-ed (and respectful at that), the party never and I do mean never ends it lasts all weekend, there is not one moment in the 72 hours there that you hear silence, I've never shared this but at 4:30 in the morning when everything is going as well as a 43 year old hippie dude like me can ask for, you can make out with anyone you want, hell you just took showers with them earlier, you just went skinny dipping by the river, you just drank all their beer in their camp, why not make out (1), Did I say drugs.

Do Christians have something on the sides of their bodies that produce pleasure that normal people do not.

Like I said, I have never been to a Christian three day music festival, but I really doubt that it happens on the level I just described. Sure there is music and dancing, probably some drinking, sure there will be Christian side hugs, hell, maybe even some pot smoking, but c'mon man it will be a watered down version of the real deal.  It seems like the result would be that same as any other time Christians try and be the cool kids in music, dress, or whatevah....it's watered down, yo. And the real, normal cool kids (2) can spot that metaphorical thumb that people keep talking about-because it keeps sticking out a mile anyways...

...but would I go, yea. But I'd probably get kicked out.

(1) Look man I'm no stranger to the pretty ladies and I know that (regardless of my depression)I'm hot shit. I can't even count how many concerts, raves and music festivals I have been to and everytime, everytime there is the potential for the hook up. Thing about me is that I don't have casual sex and never have (thanks Catholocism). I'm not against it, I just don't do it myself. But have I ever been in the moment when I can see that simultaneously everyone is getting hit at the same time, the moment when you look around in all directions and people just start kissing: couples, groups of people. It is that moment when you look into someones eyes and you are totally on the same page and them youcome closer together and you kiss and say, "I love you, man" even tho you have never met ever before. No I have never been in that position.

(2) You can't try and be one of the cool kids. you either are or you are not. Any you don't decide that anyways....
