“

1. White terrorists are called “gunmen.” What does that even mean? A person with a gun? Wouldn’t that be, like, everyone in the US? Other terrorists are called, like, “terrorists.”

2. White terrorists are “troubled loners.” Other terrorists are always suspected of being part of a global plot, even when they are obviously troubled loners.

3. Doing a study on the danger of white terrorists at the Department of Homeland Security will get you sidelined by angry white Congressmen. Doing studies on other kinds of terrorists is a guaranteed promotion.

4. The family of a white terrorist is interviewed, weeping as they wonder where he went wrong. The families of other terrorists are almost never interviewed.

5. White terrorists are part of a “fringe.” Other terrorists are apparently mainstream.

6. White terrorists are random events, like tornadoes. Other terrorists are long-running conspiracies.

7. White terrorists are never called “white.” But other terrorists are given ethnic affiliations.

8. Nobody thinks white terrorists are typical of white people. But other terrorists are considered paragons of their societies.

9. White terrorists are alcoholics, addicts or mentally ill. Other terrorists are apparently clean-living and perfectly sane.

10. There is nothing you can do about white terrorists. Gun control won’t stop them. No policy you could make, no government program, could possibly have an impact on them. But hundreds of billions of dollars must be spent on police and on the Department of Defense, and on TSA, which must virtually strip search 60 million people a year, to deal with other terrorists.

Congrats on promoting rape, Heineken

Dear Heineken:

Long time drinker, first time loather! I write to you today to clear up a couple of quick points about your Premium Light ad, the one with “Now Seduction Can Happen Anywhere” emblazoned across the top.

Seduction is defined by Merriam-Webster as “the act of persuading someone to have sex with you.” So, uh, hate to break it to you and everything, but that could (and does!) already happen anywhere. Prehistoric caves, plague-ridden shacks, hotels, motels, Holiday Inns, aaaactually pretty much any location that can sustain human life for long enough for copulation: if people can live there, people can probably fuck there. If people have lived there, people have probably fucked there! Shit, I personally have been ~seduced~ in such locations as a golf course, a train station, and a bush (go ahead, judge me, I dare you) without the aid of your product. I mean, this is like advertising toothpaste with the tagline “Now You Can Scrub Your Teeth To Clean Them!” No fucking shit, dillholes.

Oh, but wait, wait, I get it. You packaged an incredibly obvious fact in phrasing meant to imply that your product has something to do with the truth of that fact, when, in reality, it doesn’t at all; excellent marketing strategy, way to go! Shame what you’re talking about is seduction and your product is alcohol, because that means this ad is really saying, “Now the act of using alcohol to persuade someone to have sex with you is possible anywhere!” You know, in the state where I live, that’s rape. Cheers, Heineken. Real nice.

But wait! Just in case the implication wasn’t clear enough, you’ve got that word beneath it, the name of this whole ad campaign, “Irresistible,” to really drive home your point. Heads-up-seven-up, Heinekin, but an “irresistible seduction” — that is, a “seduction” that someone is not capable of resisting — is not in fact a seduction at all. Denying someone their ability and right to resist sex is not persuading them to have sex with you, it is forcing them to have sex with you, which, just so we’re really clear, is what the word rape means. And if you want to claim that you were using “Irresistible,” to describe your beer and not to make horrific rapey implications, then I still have you on false advertising, because I can personally prove to you starting right now how very very easy it is to resist absolutely any product with your name on it. You just watch me not drink your beer, Heineken. You just watch me never, ever give you my money again.

In conclusion: I’m going to take your advice to heart, and enjoy Heineken responsibly by way of ensuring that neither I nor anyone I know ever enjoys any brand of yours again. Thanks so much for being the sort of repulsive shitstain fuckheads who use rape as a marketing tool; I’ve been meaning to switch to Rolling Rock.

Yours Sincerely,
A Former Customer

P.S. Just in case you want to defend yourselves by pointing out that this ad seems to have been released way back in the ancient times of 2007, and claim, as such, that I am uninformed and you’ve changed, really, of course you have, I invite you to check out this fucking disaster of an ad from 2012, in which you instruct Heineken drinkers on how to buy a girl a drink despite “coy objections” like “no means no,” on the theory that “some girls insist on playing games.” Aaaaaand I also invite you to go fuck yourselves, because, seriously. Go fuck yourselves.

“

“Don’t you know that slavery was outlawed?”
“No,” the guard said, “you’re wrong. Slavery was outlawed with the exception of prisons. Slavery is legal in prisons.”
I looked it up and sure enough, she was right. The Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution says:

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

Well, that explained a lot of things. That explained why jails and prisons all over the country are filled to the brim with Black and Third World people, why so many Black people can’t find a job on the streets and are forced to survive the best way they know how. Once you’re in prison, there are plenty of jobs, and, if you don’t want to work, they beat you up and throw you in a hole. If every state had to pay workers to do the jobs prisoners are forced to do, the salaries would amount to billions… Prisons are a profitable business. They are a way of legally perpetuating slavery. In every state more and more prisons are being built and even more are on the drawing board. Who are they for? They certainly aren’t planning to put white people in them. Prisons are part of this government’s genocidal war against Black and Third World people.

“” “For Children: You will need to know the difference between Friday and a fried egg. It’s quite a simple difference, but an important one. Friday comes at the end of the week, whereas a fried egg comes out of a chicken. Like most things, of course, it isn’t quite that simple. The fried egg isn’t properly a fried egg until it’s been put in a frying pan and fried. This is something you wouldn’t do to a Friday, of course, though you might do it on a Friday. You can also fry eggs on a Thursday, if you like, or on a cooker. It’s all rather complicated, but it makes a kind of sense if you think about it for a while.” “”

La Cosecha / The Harvest (2011)

“Every year there are more than 400,000 American children who are torn away from their friends, schools and homes to pick the food we all eat. Zulema, Perla and Victor labor as migrant farm workers, sacrificing their own childhoods to help their families survive. The Harvest / La Cosecha profiles these three as they journey from the scorching heat of Texas’ onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards and back south to the humidity of Florida’s tomato fields to follow the harvest and provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of these children who struggle to dream while working 12 – 14 hours a day, 7 days a week to feed America.”

just goes to show you that not consuming animals does not mean you are supporting a system that is cruelty free

“HERO” is a very sacred word. Ben Shapiro, right wing “journalist” for Breitbart, has a VERY HIGH BAR for heroism, as we discussed in this post earlier.

Apparently, sports commentator Tim Brando shares those sentiments with Shapiro.

A man is sexually assaulted by four women. Rosie DiManno of the Toronto Star assaults him again.

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 00:33:10 -0400

A man is sexually assaulted by four women. Rosie DiManno of the Toronto Star assaults him again.:

stfusexists:

Enquiring minds are eager to know what the heck befell a young man who was allegedly sexually assaulted by a group of women in downtown Toronto.

**Trigger Warning: Rape culture, victim blaming - exercise caution before clicking the link or reading further**

After a man - who is alternately referred to as a teenager - in Toronto reported to the police that he had been the victim of a sexual assault at the hands of four women in their thirties, Rosie DiManno thought it would be a good idea to pen one of the most disgusting, victim-blaming, pathetic excuse for an article I have ever had the misfortune of reading. DiManno inexplicably thought it was appropriate to write about a sexual assault using the following phrases:

“Of course, one man’s sexual assault is another man’s sexual fantasy come true.”

Having a fantasy of multiple simultaneous partners is not an invitation to be raped.

Mustn’t be seen to make light of an alleged sexual crime simply because the victim is a male…snickering quotient.”

Excuse me, but I simply don’t see the “snickering quotient” of someone being outnumbered, overpowered, and sexually assaulted. I doubt the millions of victims of sexual assault - victims of all genders - see that either.

“Sexual assault, you say? Lucky guy others say, nudge-nudge, a fivesome and didn’t even have to pay for it.”

Those people are despicable human beings, they are wrong, and they and their boss should probably be promptly fired from the Toronto Star.

“They could be sex molls or sex maulers.”

The fact that they were reported as perpetrators of a sexual assault makes them criminals, actually. What journalism program taught DiManno or any of her superiors that this was okay?

“Some “assaults’’ are merely unwanted touching, annoying for an adult woman but should be slapped down when they occur rather than directed to police.”

This teenager was offered a ride home by these women, and taken instead to an abandoned parking lot and assaulted. If this is something the police should ignore, I’m not sure what their role is in society.

Wanted: Bad girls in black minidresses and stilettos, approach with caution.

Yes, the sexual predators in their thirties are just “girls,” as well as an excellent punchline, according to the Toronto Star.

This isn’t DiManno’s first horrifying and utterly hamfisted attempt at being clever. In January, she came under fire for her disgusting coverage of another sexual assault, and the Star immediately came to her defense. As a result, another victim of sexual assault has been publicly mocked, mere weeks after teenage rape victim Rehteah Parsons tragically took her life after being mocked by her peers.

Please sign the petition to have Rosie DiManno fired. This is reprehensible, unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to continue.

(Thank you to reader verolynne for bringing this to my attention.)
