Okay, this has gotten pathetic.

Some of you are hopping on your soapbox and declaring women to be mindless nimrods who've fallen victim to some insidious plot by evil male dominated advertising agencies. Women aren't idiots. They're not infants. They're capable of the critical perspectives any human is capable of, and that includes syphoning out the bullshit in shitty retouched ads.

Advertisers create specific visions of what they (or the creative directors) think are beautiful, whether that's anorexic girls, beefcake men, gender-neutral models or fucking Lara Croft/Sucker Punch badasses. You're all persecuting the advertisers because they're not putting fat and unattractive people in ads. But who wants to see that?

This has nothing to do with equality or feminism. This is just fear politicking motivated by some woman's perverted sense of feminism. I accept women as my complete equal in every regard, and I love my fiancée and think she's the most beautiful woman I will ever know and every word from her mouth is a blissful miracle to my ears, but don't think for a second I don't check out other women who are thin, young and attractive. And that ain't because some douchebag at the advertising agency told me that's what I should I like. No. That's because I'm an instinctual animal behind these opposable thumbs and cognitive thought, and my brain tells my dick what I like and it ain't gelatinous thighs and muffin shaped asses.

My daddy told me, lookin back,
The best friend you'll have is a railroad track
So when I was 13 said, I'm rollin' my own
And I'm leavin' Missouri and I'm never comin' home

And I'm lost
And I'm lost
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Satchel Puddin' and Lord God Mose
Sitting by the fire with a busted nose
That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare
But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair

And I'm lost
And I'm lost
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain
The moon's the color of a coffee stain
jesse Frank and Birdy Joe Hoaks
But who is the king of all these folks?

And I'm lost
And I'm lost
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron
On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan
Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel
And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl

And I'm lost
And I'm lost
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Well God's green hair is where I slept last
He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass
Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird
And when I wanna talk
He hangs on every word

And I'm lost
And I'm lost
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
I'm lost at the bottom of the world

Predators... Seriously? Didn't we run this far enough into the ground 19 years ago with Predator 2, nevermind the AvP disasters?


I'd agree, except Predators is directed by Nimrod Antal, who did the surprisingly effective thriller Vacancy from a couple of years ago. Between that and his equally good debut feature, Kontroll, he's definitely on my radar in a big way (his next film, Armored, opens this weekend. I have high hopes, despite how long it's been sitting on the shelf).


Inception... need more info.


It's Christopher Nolan. That's all the info you need. Seriously, look at the man's filmography -- he can do no wrong. Just based on Nolan's involvement and that short teaser from a few months back, that's probably my most anticipated movie of next year.

Unreal. Some of these police services are an embarrassment. The taser is a useful weapon with the potential to save lives. But these nimrod services that allow it's officers to use the taser however they want are going to ruin it for everybody.

Even better knockout would be a swivel kick to the fucking face of the upside-down nimrod trying to make you look like an asshole with a flailing cartwheel move.

Friedman is pretty much the kind of nimrod...
Firstly, did he say anything in that video you disagreed with?

"Magic of the price system" did it for me. Reminds me of the "THEN A MIRACLE OCCURS" cartoon.

Great article. With no due respect to any undecided voters who may be reading this, I've often marveled at just how seemingly stupid, uninformed and irresponsible these people must be - this year more than ever. I think part of the reason candidates start acting so foolish towards the end of the campaign is because they are trying to appeal to these unpredictable and flighty nimrods.

Firstly, did he say anything in that video you disagreed with?

Secondly, I thought it was a combination of the Fed maintaining a too large money supply, and a war that forced them to raise the interest rates? More like the commissar in his office, than Friedman's capitalism.

But yeah, you're right, capitalism gets messy when mixed with politics. But aren't you barking up the wrong tree then?

Friedman is pretty much the kind of nimrod whose philosophy has lead us to this financial mess we see all around us today.

It never ceases to amaze me how so many conservatives will treat anything that he says as gospel and ignore the very proof all around us that he is dead wrong.

Absolute capitalism is a myth and no society or civilization would have ever evolved if the tenets of Friedman's capitalism were the only building blocks available.

Nice.

This is fun. We should do this once a week. Lindsay Beyerstein used to have a Friday Random Ten for a long time, but discontinued it over a year ago. Too bad. Let's not let it end here.

You were the who one first insulted me, lucky, when you slammed me for awarding gorgonheap a star. If you're capable of such a thing, why don't you admit it? Or are apologies beneath you? What names did I call you? A SiftGod? Chief Justice? Ouch, sarcasm hurts! Just like you calling me an "intellectual", I suppose. Touche. And calling MG a brown-nosing hypocrite isn't name-calling; it's the truth. You've seen how he's talked to others from what I've linked, and now he acts like he's Miss Manners. That's a textbook example of hypocrisy. Are you going to tell him to discontinue his offensive remarks too?

Don't act like you're a victim and try to paint me as someone just itching for a fight, lucky. Maybe you're tired and stressed out from all the work that you've done, and so maybe you're not in the mood for someone's gripes after you've busted your ass. We're all human, so we all go too far some times. And maybe I have too tonight, but I didn't come here looking for a fight. I expressed a concern, and you basically painted me as a nimrod for agreeing with gorgon. That doesn't sit too well with me.

Enough said. By now we obviously are aware of each other's opinions on this matter, even if we can't respect our differences. Still, I'll drop it for now. However I'll continue to speak my mind if I feel something needs to be said.

What's disgusting is that you and the other conservative nimrods
"You're a bunch of real swells"
"egregious collateral impact on the Iraqi economy and environment"
"that marine could have shot that kids dad. oh happy times"
"when you rape someone's country illegally"

*inflamatoy public masturbation
me too man, just sayin'!!.....(watch it twiddles, you and MINK play some online game together er summpin')

Maturbation, because calling the guilty guilty, in a forum like this is ad- nauseum clap-trap, ineffectual......how do we change the bullshit, in our own circle, then the world, is worth blabbin' about...no one has answers, and so it goes.....
