  • Hazing, strong enough for a man but made for women

    Hazing, strong enough for a man but made for women

    Classmates React To Alleged Hazing:

    Alleged??? What’s so alleged about it? There’s a video of it. Anyway, thanks to Badjocks.com for the link.

    I’m sure we’ve all heard of this hazing incident in Chicago by now. It seems that hazing is not just among men. Women seem to be getting into the game. Under the guise of a “powder puff” football game between female members of the senior and junior classes, but quickly degenerated into a severe beatdown on the juniors.

    One girl has a broken ankle. One girl received 15 stitches. Another girl has suffered hearing loss. And I guess, not to be outdone by the Sharpie Sodomy guys, one girl even contracted a bacterial infection after being forced to eat human waste. That’s right, she had to eat someone’s shit.

    What makes me even more sick is that some of the students feel the juniors got what they deserved. And other students are looking forward to next year. And still, there’s a question of whether criminal charges should be brought against the seniors. What’s to question? Making someone eat shit has got to be assault at the very least. But who knows? Maybe next year, someone will be forced to… you know what? I can’t even think of anything worse than that. But I’m sure they will. If no arrests are made, then there has been a severe miscarriage of justice.

  • Wrestler wins election and it’s not Jesse Ventura

    Wrestler wins election and it’s not Jesse Ventura

    Masked wrestler wins seat:

    You gotta love Japan. The Great Sasuke won a seat in the Iwate Prefectural Assembly. I’m not sure how that equates in American terms, whether that’s the equivalent of Congress or just a state senate. Anyway, I think this is so cool. Not only is Sasuke in incredible wrestler, but he ran for office with his mask still on….and won. And he still says that he’s not going to take his mask off, even when the assembly is in session. How cool is that? Sometimes I wish life was more like professional wrestling. Mad at your boss? Hit him with a folding chair. Anyway, Sasuke is not the first pro wrestler to be in Japanese politics. If memory serves me correctly, Japanese legend Antonio Inoki was elected to a major office in Japan.

    I hope this starts a trend in America. Just think of it. Rey Mysterio and the Hurricane in ’04. I’d vote for them.

  • Why not just wear the Nazi flag?

    Why not just wear the Nazi flag?

    Suspended ‘Dixie chicks’ defend attire:

    Cute play on words CNN has going on there. Anyway, 35 South Carolina high school students were suspended for wearing a t-shirt that shows chickens hatching from eggs decorated with the Confederate flag and says, “Southern chicks, better than the rest”. The student interviewed by the AP said…

    “I had no idea in the world anyone would be offended by this,”

    Oh, I don’t know. How about Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Catholics, and anyone else the Klan finds questionable? That’s who would be offended by it.

    Talk all you want about Southern Pride. When you say that and display a Confederate Flag along with it, it’s like saying “White Power”. If you want to be proud of your Southern heritage, that’s fine, but that flag has stood for slavery since its inception and has been adopted by racist and white supremacist hate groups.

    In the eyes of the rest of the country, you’re just enforcing an old stereotype that people from the south are racist rednecks. Be proud that you’re from the south, but be ashamed of its past transgressions.

    I’m not surprised, just disappointed.

    Elizabeth Smart Found Alive in Utah:

    Who says there are no miracles anymore? Thank God she was found alive and in relatively good shape.

    What makes me sick though is as soon as she was found, the creepers started hitting the web looking for inappropriate pictures of her. For those of you who were searching for these pics, I hope the FBI busts your door down in the middle of the night.

    CDC School Shooting Study

    CDC: Most school shooters get guns from home:

    Your tax dollars at work, people. This is all well and good. Parents should keep their guns locked up and away from children. On the other hand, it’s not addressing the underlying problem. Why are these kids grabbing the guns in the first place? Not until the parents and the schools address this problem will school shootings stop.

    Mr. Rogers 1928-2003

    Fred Rogers dead at 74:

    It’s hard to believe he’s gone. Some things you just think will be around forever. He may have been too sappy for some, but there was a time when I was really young that Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood were my universes.

    Who can forget the Trolley and King Friday XIII and Speedy Delivery? Fred Rogers wasn’t just a TV show host, either. He was a well-rounded and learned individual in the field of child welfare. And how many of us have started singing the song when we were either changing shoes or putting on a sweater?

    Now cancer has taken him away from us and from the children. The way things are today, we could really use him. Today, the neighborhood will never be the same.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to the Rogers family and all of those who grew up with him.

  • Didn’t this war end?

    Didn’t this war end?

    Lincoln statue ignites Confederate passion:

    Thanks to Tongue Tied for the link. I’ve talked about this before the crash happened. Anyway, it made the news again for some reason. The National Park Service wants to put a statue of Abraham Lincoln on a historic Civil War site in Richmond, Virginia. The problem is, Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy, and some people still think it still is.

    According to the article, “confederate heritage” groups have their white hoods in a twist over the Lincoln statue being placed in Richmond. They compare it to an Osama bin Laden statue being put in New York. Say what? First of all, Lincoln didn’t crash a plane into a building full of thousands of people. Secondly, he won the war and freed the slaves. They should be able to put his statue anywhere they want.

    A member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans had this to say…

    “The Confederate states never forgave Lincoln for the harshness of the Union Army’s bloody march through the South, which left Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley devastated and Atlanta and Columbia, S.C., in cinders. The statue, he said, “is a not-so-subtle reminder of who won the war, and who our heroes should be.”

    First of all, the war ended roughly 140 years ago. Secondly, there is no Confederacy anymore. It ceased to exist the minute that Robert E. Lee surrendered. Basically, if you oppose a statue of Lincoln, you might as well just come right out and say that you’re in favor of slavery. And don’t give me crap about the Civil War being about states’ rights. It was about SLAVERY. That states’ rights argument is just so people don’t think you’re actually in the Klan.

    And speaking of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, if you’re forming a group like that, why don’t you just from Sons of Nazi Veterans while you’re at it. They lost a war too. Get over it you dumb, ignorant, racist white trash, hicks.

    The Perfect Memorial

    “Mr. Perfect ” Curt Hennig found dead:

    I’ve been watching Curt Hennig wrestle since his last days in the AWA. I remember him teaming with Scott Hall before he became Razor Ramon. Then he came to the WWF as a heel, calling himself Mr. Perfect. That’s when I started rooting for bad guys.

    One of the greatest matches I ever saw was at King of The Ring. I believe it was the final round match. It was Curt Hennig vs. Bret “The Hitman” Hart. This match blew away almost every match I had seen until then. As a matter of fact, I was watching that PPV with my then-girlfriend. She kept rooting for Bret Hart so much that I eventually had to put her in The Sharpshooter. She was a little too plump for the Perfectplex.

    I even got to see him live at a couple of house shows in Philly. Not only was he phenomenal on TV, but he was even better live. I don’t remember who he wrestled. That’s how good he was.

    But the unfortunate thing in all this was there were rumors that Curt Hennig partied hard. It was alleged that his partying was what led to his being released by the WWE this past year. I seriously hope that’s not what caused his death, but I’ll be surprised if it’s not. He also left behind a wife and children. My condolences go out to the Hennig family.

    Police Investigate Hazing at High School:

    Thanks to Bad Jocks for the link. So, three high school basketball players have been suspended for hazing underclassmen. I’m surprised they actually got suspended. Here’s the best part, though. The hazing consisted of hitting, SPANKING, (wait, it gets better) and URINATING on other players.

    I never understood the jock mentality. They tend to be the most homophobic group of people, yet they engage in activities like sodomizing people with foreign objects like bananas and such, tea-bagging, shaving people’s crotches, and now urinating on other men. And you know, I’m sure the players’ parents say it was just harmless fun.

    Any parent who is trying to get their kids interested in sports should read half the articles I do before making a decision. Or else they’ll come home one day either sodomized or the sodomist. It’s your choice.
