Who on earth does this person think she is?

Like, somebody even remotely important? Check this article out … Hilton backs online pardon appeal

Yeah well, duh, of course she would back it. Meanwhile, why the hell should she get an appeal? Because she’s a stupid and stupidly rich heiress who has become ‘famous’ for being a vacuous socialite party animal?

The petition paints Ms Hilton as a role model who “provides hope for young people all over the US and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives”.
It also draws parallels between other high-profile US figures who were forgiven for their misdeeds.
If the late Former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late Former President Richard Nixon … we undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned

WTF???
If she truly wants to “provide hope for young people” it will be by serving out her jail sentence and showing them that this is what happens when you are an irresponsible spoilt brat. One shudders to think who she may have killed whilst out driving drunk and not caring a flying fuck about anyone but herself.

Grrrrr….

Is it just me?

Or has anyone else noticed that the spam being caught here by Akismet has been extra vile lately? I tend to zip through the spam list to check if a friend’s comment has been caught there by mistake. But wow – a lot of the titles and links I see are not only quite gross and disgusting but these sites are also promoting and promising stuff that is illegal in most countries.

Do you think they are for real? Makes me shudder to think about it.

Is there any way to officially complain about this shit?

Just add water . . .

Okay, not really. Just add random words to Crazy Libs original or classic stories and get your own personalized version. Here’s one of mine…

The Fishing Incident

One minute I went fishing — fishing invariably makes me nervous. Most people like to fish in streams, but I, in my wit, like to fish in rivers. Standing quickly, I baited the hook with a handbag (and a couple of silky waffles for good measure), leaned back, and lavishly cast my fishing shoelace. I waited for a whole millennium, whispering to relieve the boredom, when finally a gurgle caught my attention. Sarcastically, I pulled and waddled on my fishing shoelace, straining until my last ounce of arrogance was gone, and reeled in my catch.

I was creeped out. There, lying before me like a sneaky frying pan on a meerkat’s toenail, was a giant screwdriver. As if that weren’t scary enough, the screwdriver, to my utmost stamina, started to sigh.

Cheesily, I dropped my fishing shoelace and ran back to my castle, without looking back. I don’t know when I’ve been so ecstatic.

How about adding one of yours?

Well okay, it ain’t exactly the Tower of Babel . . .

But The Dialectizer is quite good fun. By entering the URL of any website you can see it immediately translated into such international languages as:

  • Redneck
  • Cockney
  • Elmer Fudd

Enjoy! f_ok1.gif

Decoding ‘The Secret’

Oprah lives by it. Millions are reading it. The latest self-help sensation claims we can change our lives by thinking. But this ‘new thought’ may just be new marketing.

Reading some of the excerpts in the Newsweek article, you’d almost think it was a spoof book if not for the millions of copies sold and the public support of celebs like Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres and Nicole Kidman. Are people really so desperately needy and pathetically gullible? The mind reels …

You’d think the last thing Americans need is more excuses for self-absorption and acquisitiveness. But our inexhaustible appetite for “affirmation” and “inspiration” and “motivation” has finally outstripped the combined efforts of Wayne Dyer, Anthony Robbins, Dr. Phil and Mitch Albom. We have actually begun importing self-help—and from Australia, of all places, that citadel of tough-minded individualism…
