Racism and political correctness nonsense.

On Hey Hey It's Saturday, five men parodied The Jackson Five complete with black make-up (except for Michael who was painted white) on the Red Faces segment. Harry Connick Jr, a segment judge, took offence at the act and gave it a score of zero. Daryl Somers, the host of the show, issued an apology. There has been an outcry of racism from the media after the show aired.

I'm a dark skinned person (check my profile if you don't believe me) and in no way did I find the parody of The Jackson Five racially offensive. At the very worse the skit was in poor taste considering the recent death of Michael Jackson. The cries of racism from the "political correctness” crowd has been ridiculous. Some of the headlines in the media include, "Hey Hey it's racist", "International outrage at Hey Hey skit" and "Harry Connick Jr blasts Hey Hey it's Saturday racist Red Faces Jackson 5 skit". Seeing these headlines it seems like the Ku Klux Klan donned "black face" paint and racially insulted black people on TV. It was a Jackson 5 parody, nothing more. In fact, one of the members of the Jackson 5 group was an Indian (yes, a dark skinned person). Dr Deva stated, "I am an Indian, and five of the six of us are from multicultural backgrounds and to be called a racist ... I don't think I have ever been called that ever in my life before."

I am personally sick and tried of the political correctness nonsense in society. Yes I agree that racism is abhorrent and has no place in society but the Jackson 5 skit isn't racism. Where was the outcry when Robert Downey Jr donned black face paint and played a black man in the movie Tropic Thunder? Where was the outcry when the Wayans brothers (African American men) donned white face paint and parodied 2 white women in the movie White Chicks? I love both of these movies and didn't find either racially offensive but surely to the politically correct crowd these movies are far worse than the Jackson 5 skit.

In my opinion the vast majority of Australians (white / black or any other colour) didn't find anything racist about the Jackson 5 skit. Unfortunately the political correctness crowd are louder than the vast majority of Australians and they get all the headline.

Why Rihanna sucks!

I never liked Rihanna and her music but "never liked" turned to hatred when she released that stupid "Umbrella" song. Why do I hate Rihanna with such a passion? No the answer isn't, "I just do". There are several reasons why I hate Rihanna and each reason is justified. Here are the reasons:

THE UMBRELLA SONG: I cannot stand this song with such moronic lyrics. Just check this out, "Now that it's raining more then ever - Know that we'll still have each other - You can stand under my umbrella - You can stand under my umbrella - (Ella ella eh eh eh) - Under my umbrella - (ella ella eh eh eh)". WTF kind of nonsense is that? Maybe I should write a song called "shoelaces"? Maybe it should go like this, "My shoelaces are undone - You can do up my shoelaces - (laces laces laces ces ces ces).


DRAG QUEEN: Oh you didn't know? Rihanna is actually a man. After months of investigation I have come to the conclusion that Rihanna is actually Prince in drag! Well have you seen Rihanna and Prince together? I wonder why that is? Click on the picture below and try and prove to me that it isn't the same person. Wonder if Chris Brown knew?


HUGE FOREHEAD: She has the world's largest forehead. Click on the picture below for proof. That thing is massive. You could feed a starving family of cannibals for a year with that forehead and she wouldn't even notice it. Maybe after her singing career is over she could rent out her forehead as a cinema screen.


RIHANNA FLU: Forget swine flu, Rihanna flu is the next huge pandemic. The first sign of the onset is the sudden inability to say the word "umbrella" without stuttering. See your doctor immediately as this is a highly dangerous flu. Early detection is a must as it's easily curable by playing "real" music to the patient.


Last but not least there is a rumour going around that there will be a Rihanna sex tape. I don't know about you people but I definitely don't want to see a sex tape starring Prince and Chris Brown.

Supermarket morons / idiots

I’m convinced that shopping in a supermarket lowers the IQ of some people. What other explanation is there for some of the idiotic / moronic / illogical behaviour one sees in supermarkets. Here are some of the behaviours that make my blood boil (especially when I’m in a rush or I’ve had little sleep after a night shift).


OH, I’M SUPPOSED TO PAY: The Cashier scans all the items, the total price comes up on the register and the Cashier says, “that will be $XX.XX thank you”. Only at this stage does the moron get out his wallet to pay or looks through his wallet for his card. It’s worse when the customer is female especially when she has to search her handbag for cash or card. What is wrong with these idiots? Were they expecting not to pay? One feels like saying to them, “get your money and / or card ready moron!” This behaviour is especially annoying when one is in a rush or there is a long line at the checkout.

LET’S IGNORE THE “15 ITEM OR LESS SIGN”: We have all come across the arrogant arsehole that has 50 or more items but conveniently pretends to not notice the “15 items or less” sign. One just feels like grabbing the sign, smashing it over their head and stating, “do you see the sign now idiot”. There is an easy way to get a little bit of vengeance on these arrogant arseholes and it goes like this. A word of warning, be careful when doing this to burly guys. Next time you see a person lining up with a large amount of items in the “15 items or less” checkout just queue jump and stand in front of them. This will always get a response like “what are you doing, stand at the back of the line”. The classic comeback is, “oh I thought you were just standing around with your trolley because this is the express checkout and since this is the express checkout there is no way you would be lining up in this line with 50 items in your trolley”. I have actually done this a few times and usually I get stunned silence and the person changes checkout.

QUEUING UP AT THE EXPRESS CHECKOUTS WHEN OTHER CHECKOUTS ARE FREE: This behaviour consists of people queuing up at the express checkouts even though the normal checkouts are free. It’s almost as if they are conditioned to use the “15 items or less” checkouts whenever they have a small number of times. I once saw 3 “15 items of less” checkouts with queues over 7 deep and a “normal” checkout with no queue. I only had a couple of items and I obviously used the empty checkout. I couldn’t help looking at the long queues at the express checkouts and thinking, “you idiots”. I find this behaviour rather humorous but it’s amazing how often I see it happening.

MOVE FORWARD YOU IDIOT: This idiotic behaviour occurs when a person, even though their items have all been bagged, does not move forward to pay for the items. This is extremely annoying because, by not moving forward, they block the person behind them from placing their items on the checkout. I usually deal with this by placing my items on the checkout and if my arm elbows them because they haven’t moved, so be it. They usually move when being elbowed so it’s a great tactic to use.

P.E.T.A - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

Doesn’t the organisation P.E.T.A sound really great? People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Who wouldn’t agree with an organisation like that? After all, the vast majority of people are against cruelty to animals. I feel so warm and fuzzy that such an organisation exists until I investigated deeper and found out some of the MORONIC / IDIOTIC things this organisation stands for. Firstly I have to admit they do have some great policies. Their stand against bull fighting, animal testing by cosmetic companies, rodeos amongst other things (see their website) are to be commended. Now onto some of their BULLSHIT!

I’ve had pet owners telling me what a great organisation P.E.T.A is. What most pet owners, who don’t investigate further, don’t realise is P.E.T.A considers owning an animal as a pet unethical. Don’t join P.E.T.A all you loving pet owners out there. Here’s a little titbit for pet owners - Since 1998, PETA has opted to “put down” 21,339 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens instead of finding homes for them. These guys are “animal lovers”, right? These guys are total loonies, don’t believe me here’s some more of their BULLSHIT!

Recently P.E.T.A requested the band "The Pet Shop Boys" change their name to "The Rescue Shelter Boys". Their reason is because of the cruelty, it alleges, takes place in the pet trade. This sounds like an “April fool” story except it’s actually true.

Yet another classic P.E.T.A loony idea is to use human breast milk in ice cream. PETA officials state “a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health“. No this story isn’t an urban legend, it’s FACT. When I read about this I RAOTFLMAO.

P.E.T.A also equates the killing of animals for food to the murder of 6 million Jews in WW II. Their "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign, juxtaposes 60-square-foot panels displaying gruesome scenes from Nazi death camps side by side with disturbing photographs from factory farms and slaughterhouses. One shows a starving man in a concentration camp next to a starving cow. How P.E.T.A can compare the Nazi holocaust to slaughterhouses is beyond me. I find this totally obnoxious and morally repugnant.

I could rant and rave all day about P.E.T.A but I’ll leave with their “fur is murder” philosophy. I actually tend to agree with P.E.T.A (shock / horror) but they are such hypocrites when it comes to their actions related to this. I’m sure everyone has seen P.E.T.A members throwing paint on fur wearers. They especially target celebrities who wear fur. That being the case, when was the last time somebody saw P.E.T.A members target bikers. Last time I checked all bikers wear leather. Isn’t wearing leather the exact same thing as wearing fur? P.E.T.A if you truly believe in your bullshit I suggest you protest in front of biker clubhouses and start throwing paint on bikers!!
