Who Needs Disease Cures Anyway?

It is all clear now. I understand why we still have AIDS and cancer in the world. ....The scientists have all been busy.

First, it was the study showing that people with fat friends turn out fat. I'm not saying it's not useful to know, but who's funding this study again?

And apparently the New England Journal of Medicine was on a roll, because they also published a story about the kitty grim reaper.

Supposedly, college students that have fake IDs drink more. No WAY!

Last, but certainly not least, you will soon be able to sign up to get phone calls from your plant, letting you know, in a quirky accent, that it is "thirsty."

To the Marriott!!

Imagine my surprise when, opening a press release at work, I scroll down to see “Dorm Room Bang-A-Thon” (“We found the sweetest sluts…and screwed the decency out of them”). Funny as it is to imagine this guy sitting in his hotel room, furiously copying down the titles of all the pornos offered on the hotel's pay-per-view so he could be throughly disgruntled about it, this is exactly the kind of thing that makes me HATE AMERICA.

Other countries have their problems, sure, but the fact that we are the biggest bunch of prudes drives me f'in crazy. What possesses a person to specifically go and check to make sure that he can't possibly order porn? How about, if you don't want to order porn, you just don't? Why is that so hard to understand.

But it's not enough for him to not be exposed to porn, he hates the fact that anyone else might have the opportunity, so much so that he resorts to saying that it "contributes to the breakup of marriages, to prostitution, to sexual assaults against both children and adults, to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and to the erosion of decency." I'd like to see the slightest proof of that. I'm sure that most guys I know have watched porn at some point, and you know what? As far as I know, most of them have never sexually assaulted anybody! I can say with near certainty that Paul watches porn daily, and yet, to my knowledge, he has never broken up a marriage, engaged in prostitution or sexual assault, or gotten an STD. As for the erosion of decency, that might be another story, but who wants to be "decent" anyway.

Now who wants to watch some Hot Sluts 4

An Open Letter from Morality in Media President Robert Peters to Marriott International CEO Bill Marriott: Get Rid of the Porn:

Dear Mr. Marriott:

Whenever possible, I avoid staying at Marriott Hotels, despite their quality and affordability, because Marriott Hotels is a major distributor of hardcore pornography on its pay-TV channels.

I realize that Marriott is not the only major hotel chain that distributes pay-TV pornography. Marriott is, however, the only major chain whose founder (your father) was honored by Morality in Media (see enclosed brochure) for his efforts to fight pornography.

Recently, however, I did stay at a Marriott while visiting family on Mother’s Day. My sister-in-law made the reservation for my wife and I without letting us know in advance where we would be staying.

I have been told (truthfully or otherwise) that hotels that are actually owned by your family do not carry pornography, and for that reason when I saw the large portrait of your father and you in the hotel lobby, I thought that perhaps this hotel was “family owned” and that there would be no in-room porn.

I was further encouraged when I checked the Hotel Resources book in our room under the topic “Movies, TV and Radio,” where I read: “If you’d like to watch a movie, we offer new releases in four categories: Comedy, Drama, Action and Adventure.” “Hallelujah,” I thought, “no porn!”

Right then (I had expected to write to you much sooner), I decided to thank you for not offering pornography in our hotel and to encourage you to adopt the same policy for all Marriott Hotels.

Before we checked out, however, I decided to make sure this was a “porn free” hotel by turning on the TV and clicking to Menu Options. Sadly, what I found was not only a link to “Hollywood Movies” but also to “Adults Only.” There was a “Must Be 18 To Enter” warning, but proof of age was not required to proceed and view film titles (with pictorial/written promotional material) like these:

“Reign of Tera 2” (“hardcore action”)
“Lesbian Secretary” (“hardcore”)
“Hardcore POV” (“This is hardcore point of view”)
“Rock Hard Porn: Young Sluts”
“100% Sex: Sophomore Sluts”
“Dorm Room Bang-A-Thon” (“We found the sweetest sluts…and screwed the decency out of them”)
“Crazy Campus Sluts”
“Hustlers Barely Legal #60”
“Hustlers Desperate House Tramps”
“Horny Housewife Auditions”
“All Sex: XXX fantasies” (“imagine your raunchiest, dirtiest, fantasies come to life”)

If you say you are not an arbiter of morals or of good taste and that you are just giving many of your customers what they want, you really should be ashamed of yourself.

You should also be aware that distribution of such materials, among other things, contributes to the breakup of marriages, to prostitution, to sexual assaults against both children and adults, to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and to the erosion of decency.

You should also be aware that in the 1973 Miller v. California obscenity case the Supreme Court said that persons who traffic in materials that “depict or describe patently offensive ‘hard core’ sexual conduct” are “subject to prosecution for the sale or exposure of obscene materials.”

Morality in Media, among many others, is of the opinion that a criminal prosecution of a “mainstream” corporation that is in the business of distributing hardcore pornography is long overdue.

It is my earnest hope, however, that even after so many years of ignoring complaints about the sale of pornography in your hotels, you will yet do the right thing for your family, church and nation.

I would expect that any loss of customers who decide to stay elsewhere because they are addicted to pornography will be more than offset by the gain in customers who want to stay in nice but also pornography free hotels. Your own conscience should also rest much easier.

Sincerely,

Robert Peters, President of Morality in Media

New Book from that Swift Boat Asshole

For some reason we are on this crazy conservative mailing list at work, and I get all kinds of e-mails about how people like Ted Kennedy want to persecute Christians by not letting them pursue their God-given right to hate fags, and things of that nature. Lately, they've been on about illegal immigrants and screaming about Bush trying to create AmeriCanadexico because he wants to grant amnesty and let a few hundred Mexican truck drivers ship in the U.S. I've gotten about a hundred e-mails about the following book, which is apparently #1 on some random website that is probably their own. Actually, you should go to it, it's hilarious. It's all "I Heart America" bumper stickers and there's this DVD:

	Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged (DVD) Making Evil Look Innocent

I could be wrong about this, but I thought that the European Union has been pretty good for Europe, you know, making their currency worth a lot and making countries like Turkey desperate to get in.

And when this guy says that "at least two senators told him, face to face, they were unaware of developments taking place under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America," how much do you want to bet that when he accosted them like, Did you have any idea they're trying to dissolve America's sovereignty!!! and the senators said, what the fuck are you talking about? Who let this crazy bastard in here? he chalked that up to them telling him, face to face, that they were "unaware of developments."

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that some politicians don't need to start reading some books to learn about what our government is doing (or, perhaps, some Schoolhouse Rock?), but I'm gonna doubt they need to take the genius behind the Swift Boat Veteran's campaign's word for it.

"The Late Great USA" by Jerome Corsi, a new book being used to tell members of the U.S. Senate what the government is doing, is the best-seller for a fourth straight week at Shop.WND.com.

Using documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, Corsi has documented how the same plan used in Europe to implement the European Union may be at work in North America, with the sovereignty of the U.S. in the crosshairs.

The hard-hitting book already has been used by advocates of secure international borders to inform senators about what is going on.

William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee, says he is working to mobilize citizens to flood Senate offices with copies of the book after at least two senators told him, face to face, they were unaware of developments taking place under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.

That is an agreement the U.S. has with Canada and Mexico in which a broad range of government functions are being streamlined.

Critics of the effort say it is part of an incremental move toward a "North American Community." The Bush administration asserts the SPP "in no way, shape or form considers the creation of a European Union-like structure or a common currency."

Corsi's research shows the elites in Europe knew it would be necessary to conceal from the people there just what was being done in their name to create a European Union until it was too late to change the course of events.

In his new book, Corsi now shows how the benignly-named SPP, created at a meeting between President Bush, Paul Martin and Vicente Fox, is the same kind of regional integration plan that led Europe to form the EU.

The question then, he says, is whether the same thing could be happening now in North America.

He has set out a chilling view of America's possible "harmonized" future – one "being created covertly, without voter input or Congressional oversight."

"The Late Great U.S.A. is a real winner that sounds a clarion call to this nation. This book uncovers the careful deceptions of a powerful elite who want to undermine our sovereignty before we realize it. I consider this a must read for every American," said Hal Lindsey, best-selling author of "The Late Great Planet Earth."

"Dr. Corsi has 'connected the dots' between the Security and Prosperity Partnership, the sale of toll roads and other infrastructure to foreign companies, and proposals for a North American Union with open borders between Mexico, the U.S. and Canada. 'The Late Great U.S.A.' is an essential read for anyone concerned about the future independence and sovereignty of the United States," added Phyllis Schlafly, president of the Eagle Forum.

About Dr. Jerome R. Corsi:

Jerome R. Corsi received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science in 1972 and has written many books and articles, including co-authoring with John O'Neill the No. 1 New York Times best-seller, "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry." Corsi's most recent book was authored with Michael Evans: "Showdown with Nuclear Iran." Dr. Corsi's other recent books include "Black Gold
Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil," which he co-authored with WND columnist Craig. R. Smith, and "Atomic Iran."

Chinese Villagers Eat Dinosaur Bones

I think the title of this post says all that needs to be said.

Lesson One: Appeal to your Demographic

Anyone else find it a little odd that McDonald's has a whole website dedicated to "blackness"? It's even called 365Black.com. I saw an ad for this on the metro and was unable to believe it until I went to the website myself.

Where is the Starbucks website celebrating Caucasianess?

Celebrating?

Seriously....I don't know what these people are thinking when they send me e-mails:

"This week I’m having the pleasure of celebrating two birthdays - Canada Day, which is to commemorate the confederation of Upper and Lower Canada and some of the Maritime Provinces into the Dominion of Canada in 1867, and of course, our Independence Day. I hope all of you in the States will have a safe and fun time celebrating the independent spirit we Americans are so proud of!

Speaking of celebrating, imagine how patients with facial abnormalities must feel when they’re able to get back into the public thanks to facial prosthetics that look like the real thing. ... Also feeling quite confident are the growing numbers of women who are having high-risk pregnancies. Check out our story from Florida Hospital about the 23-year old quadriplegic who had a baby after she was paralyzed from the neck down."

ummmm??? When I think of celebrating the 4th of July, I don't usually think of people with facial abnormalities or quadriplegics giving birth.... Now I'm going to have some disturbing thoughts while I barbecue...
