Our Good Deed For the Day


There have been many japes and snide remarks made in the blogosphere about the new Pajamas Media logo (a bath robe surrounded by stink rays).  Some folks even went so far as to mockingly propose their own Pajamas Media Logo contest.

But that's not the way we operate here.  No, here at World O'Crap we are about using the synergy of the blogging community to create a paradigm of excellence.  So, what we propose is that Pajamas Media ally itself with The Pajama Company, and have Roger L. Simon or Charles Johnson model item #16706 ("red fleece one piece footy PJ's").
  Red Fleece One Piece Footy PJ's
Then, Pajamas Media should use the photo of Roger or Charles wearing these actual pajamas as the new blogomedia enterprise's logo (properly surrounded by those trade-marked stink rays, of course). 
Not only would this logo help PM to project a cool, hip, cutting-edge image, but it would benefit The Pajama Company too, because once Roger and Charles are seen in this garment (which would be PERFECT as the new official uniform of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders), sales will skyrocket!

I look forward to hearing from Tom Troja, VP Marketing & Business Development, so we can discuss my future job as a highly-paid PR person for Pajamas Media.  (I kinda doubt I will hear from the Pajama Company, since they seem to have an actual business plan, a real product, and lack $3.5 million of geek money to fritter away.)

Why We Fight: A 'War On Christmas' Update


Roger Ailes reports on the daring post office raid that dealt a crushing blow to pro-"Merry Christmas" forces. 

I was especially interested in Roger's story, since I had just read (via Michelle Malkin) Darleen's account of the great post office stamp massacre. In case you missed it, it's about how Darleen's mother went to her local post office to buy stamps a few days ago, only to learn that the Madonna had been replaced by a cookie.  Here's what happened next:
She asks if they have any classic Christmas stamps and the man pulls out a couple of sheets of last year's Madonna and Child. Mom notices he doesn't seem happy and he says to her, "These are all I have and they'll be the last you ever see." Mom asks, "What do you mean?" He explains the USPS will not be issuing any more "religious" stamps.
Ever.
This is reminiscent of something that happened to me a few years ago.  I went to 7-11 to buy some Coca Cola.   All I could see was something called "New Coke."  I asked the clerk if they had any original Coke, and the man pulled out a couple of cans.  I noticed that he didn't seem happy, and so I sang "Careless Whispers" to cheer him up, and he promised to tell me what was going on if I would stop with the Wham! numbers.

He said to me, "These are all the cans of classic Coke I have, and they'll be the last you ever see."  I asked, "What do you mean?"  He explained that the safe in Atlanta which held the top secret recipe for Coke had been burgled by Nicaraguan rebels probably financed by Castro -- and without the priceless recipe, the Coca Cola company couldn't make the original Coke anymore.  He added that President Reagan was engaged in trading arms for hostages, and was planning on going behind Congress's back and using the money from the weapon sales to finance the Contras, who had promised to get our Coke recipe back.  But since there were anti-Reagan forces in the State Department who would undoubtedly spill the beans about the President's plan before it reached fruition, these would be the last cans of original coke I would ever see, and so I could surely see how they were worth $500 a piece. 

I asked him how a 7-11 clerk happened to know all this, and he said it was announced at their last staff meeting.  So, I bought a can of real Coke for $500, and drank it sadly, in honor of a passing era.
And that's why we fight.

We Must Stop 'Desperate Housewives' Before It Kills Again!


Judith Reisman (the world's leading expert on why Alfred Kinsey is worse than Hitler, Stalin, and evil Abraham Lincoln combined) is back, and WorldNetDaily's got her! And she's just as wingnutty as ever, as a quick look at "'Pornography': TV's taboo word" demonstrates.
Following a recent interview for yet another documentary on pornography, I thought of so many things I should have said about pornography.
I had discussed its role as producing impotence, robbing men of their manhood. I had addressed its psychopharmacology as an "erototoxin." I had documented its presence in adultery, divorce, rape, child sex abuse and incest.
Judith's studies about the presence of porn in the cases of adultery, incest, etc. go along with previous studies which have documented the presence of Catcher in the Rye and Star Trek in cases of serial killers.  Proof positive that if something is ubiquitous enough, then it's responsible for everything bad that happens!

Anyway, what Judith apparently forgot to tell "yet another documentary on pornography" is that "CSI," "Desperate Housewives," and the TV news are responsible the sex crimes reported on the TV news.
I watched television on and off this evening. [...] Cadavers, once restricted to horror flicks are now a TV staple. The dead are commonly uncovered (still neck up) and discussed by a coolly attractive and yet sympathetic female coroner – often a minority woman – filling the professional working-woman diversity quota, while thrilling the desensitized audience at the same time.
So, um, desensitized audiences are being thrilled by the sight of actors pretending to be uncovered neck-up corpses, all while the networks are filling diversity quotas by giving the jobs of TV pathologists to minority women.  This sounds serious indeed! 
During commercials, a lovely female newscaster says stay tuned for the "news" story of an 8-year-old being marketed for sex. Also "coming up," says another professional lady news "reporter," police just rescued a kidnapped teenager who had been locked in a dog kennel and rented out for sadistic sex. The "news" announcement of coming attractions shows police carrying out the dog kennel should anyone miss the latest in "how-to" commit copy-cat sex hate crimes.
I think that the FCC should ban the appearance of dog kennels on the public airwaves, so that nobody gets any ideas for copy-cat sex crimes.

Oh, since these news stories are being reported by women (at least one of them "lovely"), this demonstrates that the TV networks are programming you to associate desire and sex crimes. (Okay, Dr. Judith never comes out and says this, but it must be the reason she keeps harping on the presence of attractive female coroners and good-looking female newscasters, right?)

ABC's "Prime Time" righteously reports on the increase in sex crimes, including murder on American university campuses, suggesting that silly kids just don't protect themselves and that the universities don't police sufficiently. True, as far as that goes.
Naturally "Prime Time" makes no connection between sex crimes and their own fare – such as "Desperate Housewives" – entertaining the public with adultery, drug use, prostitution and mom's sex with teenage boys.
Yes, ABC's "Desperate Housewives," which featured a mom taking Ritalin so she'd have the energy to keep up with her household duties (and then suffered the consequences of her actions), and a non-mom's adulterous sexual relationship with one 17-year-old boy (who both suffered the consequences of their actions), is no doubt partially responsible for the brutal 2002 attack on a coed by an assailant who was after her car, as document on that "Primetime" special about campus security.
For unless it's "child pornography," TV dramas and news programs never use the word "pornography." No news or drama programs ever describe the media itselfas causing copy-cat crime and sado-sexual violence.
And no news or drama program ever describes the media itself as causing the weird medical conditions dramatized on "House" or featured on "Primetime."  I wonder why that is?
The mass media breeds serial-rapist-murdering juveniles and adults who imbibe their stimuli alongside Internet sex games and legal pornography, while Big Pharma hawks every sex and depression medication it legally can inbetween these increasingly pornographic programs.
Of course, back in the days when pornography was properly stigmatized, such as the Victorian age, there was no porn -- and in this era without "CSI," there were no sexual-sadist serial killers murdering prostitutes in the streets of London.

But anyway, as Judith explained before, all the bad stuff that gets reported these days is the fault of the news, for reporting it, of "CSI," for showing cadavers -- and also of Madonna, for existing.
One neurologist writes, our "brains are not in charge;" our bodies are our "subconscious minds." If so, our bodies are being aroused and conditioned to children locked in dog kennels for sex, cadavers coolly uncovered and sado-sexual lust dramas alongside Madonna (also on television the last day or so) as a new, happy "mom."

This is the same Madonna who tongue-kissed Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on the MTV Awards in 2003, while her 6-year-old daughter (dressed in first-communion white, wearing a "BOY TOY" belt) tossed flower petals on the dance floor.
So, I guess our brains are all wired to want to tongue-kiss Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera now, and that's probably what caused the BTK killer to commit all those crimes in the 1970's. 
Ah, for those clucking, elderly ladies who kept the young in check by their repressive gossip, as described by Evelyn Wyeth in "Brideshead Revisited." Gone.
Judith is trying to fill their niche, but she just can't do it alone!  So, please help Judith and WorldNetDaily condemn an E! "reality TV" series, as described in WND's lead story for today, "TV porn alert: 'Girls Next Door'."
The scholar who exposed fraud and exploitation in the work of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey is blowing the whistle on the E! cable channel's new "reality" show about Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and his three live-in girlfriends.
Judith Reisman, author of "Kinsey: Crime and Consequences" and a soon-to-be-released new title, "Kinsey's Attic: How One Man's Pathology Changed the World," says "Girls Next Door" is Hollywood's latest and boldest attempt to normalize pornography in our culture.
[...]
"The fact (that the network) states on its website it is owned 49.9 percent by Disney says it all," Reisman told WND. "Disney now pimps the antique, surgically enhanced Hugh Hefner playboy. Hefner's 'innocent' pornography will seduce dad. Seduce dad and you will get his kids. Seduce kids and you control; you own an entire impotent male population of users and female wannabees – forever."
So, Walt Disney is using Hugh Hefner to seduce dad, by showing dad Hugh's dippy girlfriends.  And once Walt has dad, then he will also get his kids, and will own an entire impotent male population (because Playboy makes one's wiener fall off, as has been widely documented).  Plus, Walt will own all of the "female wannabees."  (I'm not sure whether Judith is using that term to refer to men who want to be females, women who want to be Playboy bunnies, or females who want to be impotent men -- but in any case, if his plan suceeds, Walt will be owning a lot of people.)

You know, that sounds like a good idea for a TV show along the lines of the 1960's classic "The Invaders!", which was the story of architect David Vincent, a guy who went around the country trying to convince people that we were being invaded by aliens who had taken human form.  I think the story of wingnut Judith Reisman, who would travel the country trying to convince people that Walt Disney's frozen head was trying to control us all via Hugh Hefner, would make an equally suspenseful drama in the paranoid conspiracy genre.  Plus, it would make a nice break from all the shows featuring minority women coroners. 

P.S.  Like Dr. Mike, Dr. Judith has a Ph.D. (hers is in communications).  She is also a "scholar."  So, if she says that Brideshead Revisited was written by Evelyn Wyeth, then it damned well was!
