Notice


I've added Pepper, Softbank’s new “humanoid” robot, to my list of enemies; partly because he’s a charlatan who pretends to understand human emotions, but mostly because of his hideous foot. In the event Pepper approaches me or intrudes on my personal space I will, in all likelihood, roundhouse kick him, and this notice releases me from any ensuing legal liability.

    His programming could probably be changed so that he dislikes you too.

    But at least he could not lift his leg and pee on your foot.

      I could respect real dislike, but he would only be pretending to dislike me.

      Those comments are templates of progressive "argumentation".

    after a shamefully long and indefensible hiatus from remembering to read your blog, I offer this tailor-made-for-you news item as some kind of amends:


    Police officer shoots ‘aggressive’ tortoise dead

    http://www.independent.ie/world-news/africa/police-officer-shoots-aggressive-tortoise-dead-30419096.html

    A policeman in Uganda has reportedly shot a tortoise dead, maintaining the reptile attacked him at his home.

    The incident, which has left Officer Charles Onegiu “traumatised and stressed”, occurred in the Nebbi district in the north of the country.

    Onegiu claims he was relaxing in his home after work when the hard-shelled assailant made his move.

    “I tried to scare it but the tortoise became very aggressive. I took a stick to chase it but it instead became more violent making me to make alarm,” he told New Vision newspaper.

    After threatening the creature with a plastic chair, the tortoise left the policeman’s home. It was then that Officer Onegiu “instinctively” pulled his firearm on the “big white tortoise”.

    “As I talk now, I am still scared because it is the first time I have seen such an incident happen in my life or heard of one,” he told New Vision.

    A local Christian group later prayed for Onegiu, "before burning the dead reptile to ashes," the paper reported.

    what's (additionally) funny is that if you google image search "Charles Onegiu" you get mostly pictures of tortoises

More Brief Reviews of Movies I haven’t Seen

Brokeback Mountain: A love affair between a pair of homosexualist cowboys ends tragically when one is killed by a horse . The actors playing the leads are (supposedly) straight. Includes graphic sex scenes. If you are into this sort of thing stay home and rent the spaghetti western Django Kill...If You Live, Shoot! instead, it's a weird and entertaining film that includes an honest depiction of homosexualist cowboys - an entire gang of them. Memoirs of a Geisha: A trio of Chinese honeys infiltrates Japan by disguising themselves as whores. The potential of the premise squandered, as unlike the homosexualist cowboy film Memoirs of a Geisha is only PG-13. The Producers: A pair of real life homosexualists (Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane) portray heterosexual Broadway musical impresarios. Notice the pattern. Do you understand 'Hollywood logic' works now? King Kong: I’ve decided the old-style stop-motion animation is better than tedious modern CGI effects. The latter mechanical...

Misc. Hate

A Mustiphino has been spotted wandering the halls of Congress. The deranged babblings of an SPLC apparatchik inspired me to coin the word hatefact . Hatefacts are unquestionable facts about immigrants , blacks , women , homosexualists , et al., that the SPLC and those sharing its ideological inclinations deem “hate” or “hateful” to mention. UPDATE: It seems I unwittingly stole the idea for the word hatefact from Peter Brimelow, who used the term “hate facts” in a speech last November .
