Rou

It's not often that I get the opportunity to applaud someone in this space. Usually when I do, it's something like reminding us to remember veterans or value those freedoms that we have.

This time, I'm giving praise to a supermarket. One with the fortitude to tell a customer to seek service elsewhere. Which is good because this customer needs a bitch slap to drive home the point.

Heath Campbell asked for a birthday cake for his 3 year old oldest child. He was denied. Because he named his child Adolf Hitler Campbell. It's a damn shame for the kid. But it's a life lesson to the parents. There is a reason people don't name their child Hitler anymore.

Of course, with moronic parents, of course they didn't stop there. The daughter, 2 year old JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell doesn't fair much better. And the youngest Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell (in honor of Himmler)is nine months.

Any parent, Neo-Nazi dillweed or not, should know better. You have to be a jackass not to foresee problems with those names. I wouldn't hire little Adolf to pump gas, let alone any higher-paying customer-facing position.

I feel bad for the children. They're practically doomed to serious emotional trauma because their parents are idiots who named them after some of the worst people in recorded history. There is a reason that Nazis are acceptable bad guys in any movie, book or video game. They were such horrible people, people don't even have to work up rage or distrust toward them. Their propaganda precedes them. And now, unfortuantely, it precedes your three children.

Props to Shop Rite. They did the right thing and refused to service this jack hole.

As for the parents, please stop breeding. We'll be that much closer to a better type of mankind.

A while back, Lori Drew logged into MySpace, created a false persona and tormented a kid that was bothering her child. Her target got all sorts of fucked up and they killed themselves.

Very tragic. The mother is a piece of shit and if there is a hell, she deserves it.

She was just found guilty. Great, right? No, not really. You see, she didn't really break any laws. There aren't any laws against being a bitch. Or at least, not the way this douche-nozzle did it.

What they arrested her for is hacking. Yes, hacking. Because she violated the terms of service of MySpace, they convicted her of illegally accessing Myspace. She created a false persona and lied about her identity of her registration form. That apparently constitutes 'hacking'.

See, that's a problem for me. It's a horrible precedent. It's a catch all. If someone is doing something the government doesn't like online, they have the capability to trot this bullshit out and use it to get around your rights. There isn't a single internet user in the US that is 100% in compliance with every site's TOS. I promise. There is no fucking chance. My mother has violated them. My sister. My 8 year old cousins. Everyone who has ever signed on to the internet has violated some portion of some TOS.

But there are a lot of people out there who think this verdict is good because it punishes Lori Drew. Nope. I'd rather the bitch got off scott free than this. The ends do not justify the means. The government may never trot this usage of the law out again. But it's still something they have in their back pocket. And it's too wide of a net to have hanging over our heads.

It's a bullshit ruling, and it needs to be overturned.

75 years ago... yesterday... Our country pulled it's collective head out of it's ass. That's right. The 75th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition.

Everyone take a moment and have a couple drinks. It's a rare freedom that is returned after it's taken away. It took 14 years, but the freedom loving bastards in this country managed to wrest their booze back from the cluthces of those puritan fucks that deemed it immoral.

Fuck them. I drink my booze and piss on their graves.

The loss of alcohol was keenly felt and widely missed. After a few years of a dry country, the population wanted a drink very badly. It started gang wars throughout the country. Speakeasies appeared across the country. Moonshine and bootlegged liquor were huge problems. And it still took them 14 years to overturn a unpopular amendment. That was a frontal assault on a person's right to live their own lives and make their own choices.

It's a lot harder to get rights back when they're taken by stealth, apathy and populism.

Just remember... 14 years.

The Cincinnati Zoo can go find one of their camels and suck it's dick.

A zoo is a place designed to teach people about animals, and allow children exposure to animals in a safe and controlled atmosphere. They're supposed to be focused on preservation and education. It's a simple mandate. To quote the Cincinnati Zoo:

Part of the public school system in Cincinnati since 1975, the Zoo hosts a four-year college prepatory program – Zoo Academy. The Cincinnati Zoo is proud to serve as the leading non-formal science educator in Southwest Ohio

Rated by peer zoological parks as one of the best zoos in the nation, the Cincinnati Zoo continues to set the standard for conservation, education and preservation of wild animals and wild spaces. Over 1.2 million people visit the Zoo annually.

Sounds good? Fuck them. They betrayed that standard. What did they do? Well, they're selling two for one tickets with the mother fucking Creation Museum. A fucking pillar of ignorance and disinformation. What kind of a biscuit-fucking ass spelunker thought that was a good idea?

A zoo is a place where we teach the public in general, and children in particular how animals live and breed in nature. We have breeding programs to promote endangered species.

We should never align a zoo with a 'museum' (and I use that term very loosely) that honestly believes the creation of those species had anything to do with creationism? It's intellectually and morally bankrupt to put those two ideas side by side.

Fuck you Cincinnati Zoo. You're a tragic waste of an organization. Hopefully an elephant tramples your administration to death.
