Late April Watch - Click!

Sometime in late April, it always seems to happen. Something terrible that the media will spin their "Lets remember what happen last year" just in time for more "An Heroism".

Hopefully that will not not happen this year. Next year on the other hand will be something different being the 10 year anniversary of The Media's Kneejerk Reaction.

But since alot of bad things often occur around this time of year, I predict that this year it won't be some student with a chip on his shoulder.

Fifteen years ago, the flood of 1993 flooded out much of the St. Louis Area, including my grandparents' farm. But the City of St. Charles, Missouri could likely learn a hard lesson in the part of St. Charles County that is built on a floodplan called New Town.

St. Charles clames that they have build levees to prevent flooding like in 1993 or even 1995. But this is a lie. And with river gagues in Grafton, Illinois, Alton, Illinois, and St. Charles, Missouri set to crest next week above flood stage, is St. Charles willing to bet the house on it?

The Meramec River in South St. Louis County has swallowed Interstate 44 atleast once this year. Given the amount of preciptation that may be in store for us, this is a flood year for the St. Louis Area.

I don't know if it was the construction workers or nature, but the Discovery Bridge (the Highway 370 bridge in North St. Louis County) has moved atleast a foot downstream the Missouri River over those many years. (It may have been the construction workers who made a mistake, but reguardless, the Missouri river has a strong current.) If the rivers flow over their banks there will be nothing lefter but the concrete foundation. It is like a slow moving explosion. There once was a house next to the bridge and the '93 flood swept it away.

Let this be a warning to the people of New Town. You are in danger. Even if it does not flood, flood insurance should be a must have.

Turn around! Don't Drown!

Good Riddance to MyFox! - Click!

After nearly a year, I have decided to terminate my relationship with KTVI.

A conflict of interest has boiled over. What I can't believe is how one person said the phrase "these bloggers who delete comments". "These bloggers?" Pardon my naivety, but wouldn't this person count themself as one of "these bloggers". Gee, I woun't have to exercise that button if people didn't use l33t sp3ak, leave little comments less than 25 words long, and especially prejudice. (We've all been guilty of that last one in one way or another.)

But what really pissed them off is when I showed them this picture.

It is no lie that the people at the Fox Network and their affiliates have been instructed NOT to treat people equally. How would the station or the network's shareholders react if they did not treat everyone equally?

I find it shocking to believe that suddenly a network that has supported the status quo says that they support a candidate who runs under the democractic ticket but she is as republican as a Tipper Sticker.

I've had enough!

Not to metion all the news stories that were ignored so that they could sell American Idol during the newscast and suppress any real news.

As of today any post related to news events will be posted under the news tag.

News sites and blogs that I would recommend:



I'll work on a links page in the near future.

TMZ, Gossip Girl, and more nonsense we did not ask for needs to be canceled

The following post contains links to content that may be offensive to some people. If you do not want to see it, do not click on the links. Simple as that. This post was also mean to be posted here instead of at this website.

Somehow, someone at the Fox Network (not KTVI in St. Louis) was not paying attention to what America really wanted: All the Paris Hiltons and O.J. Simpsons of the world to go away and drop dead.

All this entertainment news is nothing more than a distraction from real social issues that are going on that are so much more important right now. Instead of the latest news about the Jenna Six, we are bombarded with old and busted news storied about Jennifer Aniston. Instead of the Monks protest in Myamar, we are consumed by non-news about Brad Pitt's Pitbull.

There is no escape from "The Distraction" (entertainment non-news). You can't change the channel or turn of the TV. The Distraction is on all channels on TV, all stations on the radio, all over the Internet (through abused keywords that include The Distraction with The News), its in the news papers, at the sports staduims, the movie theatres, at the record store, and at the bookstore.

The Distraction is choking our throats, blinding our sight, and deafening our hearing. It is as thick as the sludge that smothered the creatures after the Valdez Oil Spill, which still has not been cleaned up in many areas after all these years, but hey you're not hearing about Exxon's ongoing trials. You're listening to that Akon song for the 100th time today.

Despite all the comment on the Internet (including those at this blog) to tell mass media (including this station) to STOP PATRONIZING celebrity news, the media did the exact opposite of what we wanted even MADE THEIR OWN MANUFACTURED REPRESENTATIVE (Chris Crocker) to make some boo hoo video defending a drunk and irresponible mother whose children should be seized by the state.

Shows like TMZ have been promoted as "You wanted it, you got it." If anyone at Channel 2 had been reading the blogs for the past year, you would have recognized WE DID NOT WANT IT! I am quite certain that if someone at KTVI had the courage to stand up against the Fox Network, they would cancel that program.

Then there are shows like on the CW called "Gossip Girl" where the radio ad for this program states "Everyone wants to be like us." What? Drunk, stupid, part of The Distraction, and 10 years barely sexy enough to look at. ("The Goggles! They Do Nothing!")

Lets not for get the Cable Networks, who proliferate this rediculous lifestyle that lasts for a very very very short time, promotes ignorance rather than true entertainment, and make television such a terrible thing.

On top of that the Recording Industry of which several musicians have recently vented their frustrations with the industry including Trent Reznor and Nelly.

The Distraction is starting to crumble under the weight of it's own doing. But Hollywood is not listening.

Why can't the real news be discussed? How hard is it to talk about social issues such as Jenna Six or the Saffron Revolution? All those years of Journalism school and the new opens up with the story about a baby puppy stuck in a drain pipe. As adorable as that is, that is the feel good story at the end of the broadcast after the Sports segment.

The news hasn't promoted activism to raise awareness of how our democracy is becoming a plaqued authoritarian aristocracy. It's being gummed up with The Distraction. I ask why The Distraction must be pervasive but community activism is deadpan.

The entire goal is to keep us sedate and let the status quo continue. Status quo is not limited to government control but the continuation of crime on the streets in our neighborhood.

This form of Status Quo allows Distraction campaigns like "Stop Snitching" (a promotion of not to tell police any information because of racial discrimination and a distrust of the police department) be so successful, but there are no campaigns of community activism to counter this campaign which continues to allow crime to proliferate. Let's not forget the Gas Mart locations in St. Louis City of which one of those two statons was selling AK-47. Both Stations are owned by a person who lives out in St. Peters. So what this guy is saying is that he wants his customers to continue to live in crime and squallor while he profits from selling weapons used by terrorists IN OUR OWN CITY!

There needs to be a greater awareness that there is a sting group that is cracking down on these crimes and that people can trust them and that they do want to help them. Instead of hearing about the sting operations, we hear news about what Sting did for lunch yesterday. So much for that community activism. The Distraction has sidetrack those plans like a kid with severe A.D.D. taking a class inside the Butterfly House.

This brings me to the next thing the Distraction has averted our attention away from: EDUCATION. Several school districts went on strike or avoided striking this week. Why these organizations have all summer to find an agreement on their contracts but decide to do it at the begining of the school year is ponderous. Teachers alway tell their students to prepare for the next school year, why can't students and parents do like wise. Even if the kids are out of school, they should spend that time constructively AT THE LIBRARY (if you think that's offensive, watch the reaction to the video (Everybody Moral Panic!)) instead of at home in front of the television where the Distraction tells them to not study, that being smart making you a nerd (what's so wrong about being a nerd?), or that if you don't socialize you are probably a homosexual. (Since when did being a nerd be confused with being gay?!) Nothing is stopping you from learning about something--ANYTHING--that you are interested in learning about. Since you are reading this blog, why not do a Google Search of find something on Wikipedia that is of interest to you?

But you aren't watching that. You're too busy watching the Disney Channel, watching that placated programming that creates the next generation of The Distraction.

So keep your eyes focused on what matters. Be active and do something. Do not be afraid to speak your mind or to be creative. And do not stand idle while The Distraction dulls your senses.

We Sleep. They Live.

School Shooters are Stupid!

By now most of us have been IMMERSED in The Virus's 24 Hour coverage. The only reason I'm writing about this event is because Maddox doesn't respond to these events.

If you have seen the photos the press recieved this kid looks like a moron.

"Duh, no body likes me. I'm a psycho case waiting to happen. I think I'll go listen to some Linkin' Park and fake speaking in a deep voice."

This was all planned. He wanted to cause this chaos. What he percieved would tear people apart, has only made them stronger.

The real weapons were not the two guns he had. They were the mainpulation and fabrication of mass media ("The Virus") The virus is his weapon. Using this he puts the Virus Addicts (miserable people who do nothing but watch talk shows and yellow news journalism).

The news media will be kicking around his propoganda for weeks, spreading disinformation and asking school leaders, law enforcement, and lawmakers to enforce hyperpower security that is about as pointless as trying to control other people's thoughts.

Such yellow journalism deserves a countermeasure to bust up this culture of fear.

Here's a photo that perfectly profiles this guy.

Asian people won't be picked on. No goths or outcasts harmed this time. You failed, Cho Seung-Hui. Burn in hell. And take your crappy photographs with you!



Man I hate the thrid week of April.

Y2K7

Thanks to your elected leaders, both current (i.e.: George W. Bush) and past (i.e. Al Gore), computer programmers have a new problem, seven years after Y2K and thirty years before Y2K37. (That's when the UNIX clock runs out. Better do something about that, Linus.)

Ever since Bush took office in 2001, politicians on both sides of the asle, especially those with something to hide, have tried to manipulate contol of the technology than is suppost to catch criminals (especially the elected ones) and make elected representatives be more honest (espeically the dishonest ones).

Ever since the tape recorder logged Richard Nixon's involvemant in the Watergate scandal, dishonest politician and lobbyists have been pushing more legislation to make Big Brother watch citizens more that their leaders.

While it is reasonable in this day and age to put security cameras in some places like inside shops, busy intersections, buses, and other places where a large number of people congregate, we never see these things inside the offices of public officials. If they can wire tap our phones and log our public internet records, why can't we spy on them?

While these questions should be addressed, it seems more suitable to ask the EFF.

Looking back since 2001, the FBI New York field office was destroyed on September 11, 2001, containing the largest collection of confescated devices created by hackers going as far back as the 1960s.

In 2002, the PATRIOT Act allowed the government to warrentlessly spy on citizens. It doesn't say anywhere to my knowledge that citizens can't sequester the government's privaciy, although common sense would excuse the part of the government that is truely defending this country. What kind of fool would brag about war stragegies that help our troops who risk there own lives to protect this country and to help opressed people in countries that do really like us but are fortunate that we are there to help them and to let them know "I didn't come here to serve the leaders of my country but to serve the people that I love just as you've struggled to serve the people you love."

Which brings us to 2003. I don't think I need to explain a whole lot about what happened that year. War was declared. As much as our country though they were doing the right thing, we actually screwed up. On one hand, we took out Saddam. On the otherhand, we created more problems than we solved. On top of that, just about everyone who had a passion or interest in history worldwide was pisted. Of course our adminstration wasn't going to be lectured by a bunch of history professors, archiologists, scholars, museum curators, or any smart people. Never mind the fact that despite all the troops we sent into Iraq, the leaflets we dropped out of the sky, and the fact that there were even generals at CENTCOM who knew that there is much more in the Middle East that sand and oil. But would it have killed someone to protect the Iraq National Museum of Natural History? Like a special ops team? A phone call? A box of locks to secure the doors? Nope, our leaders were too busy watching Saddam's 23 gold palaces. Thanks to our leaders, nearily every artifact that could tell us about the Cradle of Civilization has been lost, damaged, stolen, or destroyed. Even the Mongolians knew to protect certain places back when they invaded Baghdad in the 16th century. This was also the year gas started costing over $2 per gallon. Who needs an honorary presidential pension when you can steal money from people who have to work for theirs? Let's also not forget the lost of one of the space shuttles due to an underfunded space agency that our country likes to brag about but never supports.


In 2004, there really was no election. John Kerry never intended to win. That would betray his fellow Skull and Bone brother, George W. Bush. Kerry is no hero. When you join the armed forces, you sign a commitment to serve your country, NO EXCUSES! Bush got his daddy to write him a note. Kerry shot himself in the foot, then scraped himself twice. Kerry and Bush are no Vietnam Veterans. I don't see them in black vests, riding motorcycles, working down at the VFW hall, or going to The Wall to rub a crayon on a piece of paper over somebody's name. This was a set up. Another four years of misery. This was also the year that thanks to the Hollywood Elite, the Christian conservative-run FCC cracked down on censorship after an intentional accident during the superbowl and some F-bomb by some old-as-dirt musicians. Thanks for the mamories, you stupid rich people!

In 2005, Hollywood and the media (now known on this website as "the virus") continued to show signs of foot-in-mouth syndrome espeically in the midst of a myriad of disasters. A tsunami in the Indian Ocean in late 2004. A destructive hurricane season that lasted well into the beginning of 2006. The piss-poor response by our government to provide help to a city that was destroyed. While fear-mongers shouted "global warming" and racism, the government once again turned a blind eye. Starting that year, many cities and states began to develop new programs for disaster response, especially greater support for people in low income areas. It was this year, that we learned that the adminstration would leave us to die if the unthinkable happened. We made a statement that if they wanted to preach about how life was sacred yet start wars and let people drown then we weren't going to go down without a fight.

In 2006, elections occured. Stem-cell research (SCR) was approved despite the kicking-and-screeming response of the uberconservative and the hypocritical federal government. When the results came in and SCR got the go ahead, opponents claimed that we didn't know what we were doing or that we were confused. It is bad enough they call the scientist who work on this stuff murderers, but to call the people who know that life begins when sperm meets egg not when boy meets girl stupid should anger anyone who is religious. I'd gladly go back to church if it wasn't for the people who forced their believes upon me or violated their own canon laws. When I go to church, I want don't want to look at some protestor waving their framed fetus-in-a-womb posters. Meanwhile in 2006, Al Gore's head continued expand rivial that of nimrod conservative talk show host Bill O'Rielly. While their egos continue to throw off the Earth's axis, the St. Louis area was hit with three separate storms that knocked out the power in most of the area for over a week. If you want to know what life is like in a post-apocalyptic world, try going without power for nearly a week while the mercury is over 100 degrees or below freezing. Gas topped $3 per gallon, but there were no pumps to fetch it. This was also the year we learned the Internet was not a big truck, but a series of tubes. The inbred intelegence of the telecom industry does not see technology in terms of zeros and ones but a check with a lot of zeros.

So far this year, the egos of the "global warming" campaign continued to get stuck under overpasses as Gore got an Oscar, gas continues to hover near $3, the PS3 and Microsoft Vista suck, and thanks to the federal government's inability to conserve energy, use Abrams tanks that get less than one mile per gallon, and because they've punished California for using more clean renewable energy, we now have to spring forward two weeks earily and fall back two weeks later.

"That doesn't sound like a big deal. You made me read all that to tell me about changing my clocks?"

Wrong! This has much more to do than just clocks. Computers now have to update their timekeeping software because of a bill passed by the federal government extending daylight savings time by four weeks.

That 400 point drop in the stock market last week wasn't because of Far East financial problems. It was stock investors covering their ass because they haven't downloaded any software patches to be Y2K7 compliant. There have been several upgrades to Linux and UNIX time zone data, but no announcements by Microsoft or Apple about their software. Not to metion, no major corporations who home brew their operating system have made any announcements. So what are banks going to be doing way earily on Sunday morning around 2AM? Probably not paying attention to the cyber-prowlers taking advantage of the earily shift in time. I suppose we will find out next week.

Where are the Movie Trailers?

The Superbowl is a great source to see what movies are coming up this summer. While site like YouTube may have these trailers already online, most people still turn to the Superbowl ads with their Teaser Trailers for movies that are coming soon to the box office. Or atleast we were hoping that would be the case.

Unfortunately, advertising agencies (like most people in the field of offline commercial marketing) seem to think that if we want to find this information, we should go to the Internet. While the Internet is a good source to find previously aired advertisments, it is no subsitute for the 30 second movie trailer in high definition on the small screen.

The results for this years advertising were less than desirable, although the winner for the advertisements would have to be the Bud Light Squirrel. (Who doesn't love squirrels?).

Many ads that I wanted to see were AWOL. There was suppost to be ads for this summer's block busters. They weren't there. There were suppost to be ads for Microsoft Vista. They weren't there.

Most of the ads were the ads that people ususally see when there is no Superbowl. The Superbowl ads are suppost to be new advertisements, not the old ones. The high cost of adversting by the NFL certainly must have scared off the pennywise ad agencies and the miserly movie promoters. (Not to be an anti-semetic person, but Mel Gibson is right. You Hollywood producers need to splurge a little and stop being a bunch of anti-non-semetic misers. SPEND SOME MONEY ON ADVERTING YOUR MOVIES! OY!)

Pregame was Orwellian. No really it was. It might not be the drab environment like in the Apple 1984 commercial, but "One people, One Will, ...", but it was still Orwellian. The Circ de Sol (sp) appearance was more like a colorful kaliedescope to make it more appealing.

Prince was awesome, although, I don't think he liked being in the cold rain. I think a couple fireworks went off by accident, never the less, no F-bombs and no coordinated "malfunctions".

I really wanted to watch the game elsewhere, but since the temperature is a less-than-balmy 20 degrees, it was too icy and too cold to go down to the local pub.

UGH! I've done something I had hoped I wouldn't do! - Click!

I hate myspace. It has more cookies than a Mrs. Fields. But since I'm desperate to get some attention to this website and to myself, I had to swallow a tablespoon of codliver oil loaded with ADD causing advertisments and people whose HTML skill are so bad, Tim Berners-Lee needs to kick their ass.

On the other hand, I could start up a group to bring down G4.

I'm tired right now. I'll deal with all that crap later.

The Pope Condems Video Game, Cartoon Violence - Click!

His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI gave lapsed Catholics one more reason to skip Church on Sunday by condemning video game and cartoon violence on Wednesday, January 24, taking a few lines from Miami lawyer and anti-videogame activist Jack Thompson.

This is ironic considering there is a VeggieTales videogame on the market that is not very good which has pleanty of Cartoon Violence and a Left Behind videogame which is really bad. (Yeah, so what if non-Catholics make that blasphemous crap. They still sell it at the Catholic supply store and at Christian bookstores.) I miss the old Pope.

I guess if saving the Princess by slaying a few demons is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

It's Not A Book, It's Fark! - Click!

As bitter as I still am for being banned from Fark.com because of foolish behavior long before there was a BushidoHacks.com which which is still used as evidence against me for rejoining the site, which uses the wicked IP ban system that should only be used on spammers, I look forward to reading Drew Curtis' It's Not News, It's FARK: How Mass Media Trys to Pass Off Crap as News when it hits booksotes June 14, 2007.

It's like everyone that is well known on the Internet is coming out with a book lately. Last year it was Maddox with the Alphabet of Manliness. Also last year Ninja Burger Honorable Employee Handbook by Michael L. Fiegel, and one of the most controversial books of last year The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster by Bobby Henderson.

What's next for 2007? Newgrounds? Tomorrow's Nobody? Neil Cicierega already has a couple CDs he's produced with his band Lemon Demon. To top that of he's like a few years younger than I am. I feel like I've been left out of this positive wave of Internet notoriety (sp).

I bet if Ebaum's World had a book it would probably be called: If I Did Steal Content From Other People's Websites, Here's How It Would Happen.

I need to find my place on the Internet. Some place that is productive, makes some form of money and does not required the need to bare all, it you know what I mean.

I need to find something worthy of writing a book about, even though I am not an English major. Why should only those folks get to have all the fun?

It will be one of my short term goals this year to make a video on YouTube. This way, some one can say "Gosh damn that boy is ugly." :-)

But first I need to take care of a few things that prevent me from enjoying the Internet including my own work.

Snakes on a DVD - Click!

I don't know why Hollywood takes a good idea for a campy cross-genre movie and try to destroy it even before it has the chance to be good.

For anyone who did not read my blog entries back in August, Snakes on a Plane is an idea forged by a proud group of Internet nerds but smoothered by the mainstream.

The thing that continues to piss me off about these media folks is their "we came up with it" and "let's use the phrase 'snakes on a plane' as slang for 'C'est la vie'". It is this VH1-BS mentality that justifies such nimrods to have their lights knocked out. (NEVER EVER use "snakes on a plane" as slang for "C'est la vie" unless you're health insurance covers getting your ass kicked by geeks.)

Aside from that, I'm dissappointed that these movie makers decided to release Snakes well after the Christmas season. What revenue Snakes lacked in the box office it will surely make up on DVD like any good cult classic. Just look at Army of Darkness starring Bruce Campbell.

Probably the one problem with snakes for the dastardly group of people known as marketing folk is that Snakes was a cross-genre film. While Snakes qualifies as a campy horror flick, the demons in charge of marketing the film decided to label it as "Action-Adventure-Horror-Comedy-Thriller". In which on the DVD cover, it is called a "Action/Thriller". The truth is Snakes is a horror movie, plain and simple.

Like any horror movie, there are comedic scenes where the audience is fooled into thinking "Oh my God! It's something creapy at the door! Don't open it! etc." When in fact, the door opens and it's one of the protagonists. Added music and lighting also adds to this movie trick. The idea is to earn the audience's trust and to let their guard down. They know it's a horror movie. The came to see something spooky. And they assume that they know what will happen because they thinking they have seen it all before. Disengaging the audiences guard is important, because it reminds the audience with their know-it-all mentality that in fact they don't know jack.

This is what made people like Rod Sterling and Alfred Hitchcock successful writers. They take something ordinary that we think we know everything about and they show us that we know nothing about it, sort of like how the media thinks they know the audience but as we have learned they don't know their audience.

Because they don't know their audience, good TV shows get cancelled while crappy ones stay on the air. Because they don't know about their audience, news and information are dwarfed by celebrity gossip and crappy human interest stories. Because they don't know their audience, they think Midwestern folk (such as myself) are stupid and will buy anything that they tell us.

The media has no interest in keeping us informed or to help our country in times of conflict. Their only purpose is to distract us by entertaining us with stupid stories that they think will prevent people from creating their own ideas or thinking with cognitive reason while they exploit the downtrotten to make tons of money.

I don't know how many blog entries I have stated that in, but it bears repeating.

Anyway, pick up Snakes on a Plane on DVD and don't ever use "snakes on a plane" as a subsitute for "c'est la vie"!
