So, i’m currently watching the bottom of the 7th inning of the Sox game right now (where our new knuckle-baller AAA Pawsox playter Zink allowed a 10-0 game get to 12-10 TEX before the 5th inning) and i decided that this game is too excrutiating and stressful to watch, so i figured i would check out some news on the internets…
Primarily i go to the BBC for news about my own country as well as the world because i’m fairly confident that i can trust it, more or less, so let’s start there…
‘Paris Anti-semitic T-shirt probe’: apparently some Paris clothing company was selling shirts to people that had a vintage german text imprinted on them that read “Jews forbidden from entering the park”. Firstly, who the hell screen prints a shirt like that? and secondly, who the fuck buys that? well, in response to the latter, the BBC reports that apparently-
The neighbourhood of Belleville in eastern Paris has been the site of ongoing scuffles between groups of Jewish youngsters and youths of North African origin.
who knew, right?
‘Russia and Georgia agree on truce’: Oh, thanks, Russia, for ending your vehement 5 day rampage of Georgian civilians after Sarkozy had to basically take you through anger management (holding your hand) and tell you to stop being a fucking asshole.
‘Protesters gather at Stiller film’: So, people are protesting the new film Tropic Thunder, featuring Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., and Jack Black, because they supposedly “humiliate people with intellectual disabilites” and “use… the word 15 or more times” because Stiller plays a character who played a character in a pretend movie called “Simple Jack” where the pretend character was retarded. Did anyone else see I Am Sam? Was that not offensive towards mentally challenged people? Also, DID ANYONE SEE STEPBROTHERS?!?! THEY USED THE WORD “FAGGOT” IN THERE ABOUT 15 TIMES, TOO! I didn’t see any Gay Rights’ protestors at the premier of that film! (For the record i thought Stepbrothers was hysterical and a great flick, despite the overusage of the derrogatory sexist gay slur).
Finally, ‘Phelps wins 4th Olympic gold…“: Has anyone else been watching Michael Phelps in the Beijing Olympics?! That fucking guys either has gills or is a traditionally trained aquatic robot-ninja. Also, the men’s gymnastic team was fucking phenomenal, in case you missed that.
