IÂ’ve avoided saying anything about New Orleans since the ordeal has actually taken place but I have to voice an opinion here before I have a stroke over it.

ItÂ’s quite simple really. Death to all looters. IÂ’ve been through hurricanes, including Andrew--a category five storm. IÂ’ve been without power for weeks, had nothing to eat, the whole nine yards. However, as miserable as that was for me, I had a lot going for me. I still had a structure to live in. Damaged, to be sure, but I still had most of my possessions and a leaky roof over my head.

These poor bastards on the gulf coast have nothing left in many, many instances. Nothing. The sum total of their lives has been wiped fucking clean. They have nowhere to go and no hope for the foreseeable future. And anyone who would take advantage of a situation like this is beyond my contempt.

Looters have already shot a cop in the head in New Orleans. I would have no problem executing these savages with no remorse.

From here:

“A giant new Wal-Mart in New Orleans was looted, and the entire gun collection was taken, The Times-Picayune reported. "There are gangs of armed men in the city moving around the city," said Ebbert, the city's homeland security chief. Also, looters tried to break into Children's Hospital, the governor's office said.”

My response would be to end this problem right now. IÂ’m a martial law kind of guy. One warning shot below the waist before I unload a clip.

IÂ’ve never been big on leniency.

Next time you visit a “blogspot” blog you’ll notice a new little flag you can click if you find the content objectionable. They claim on the site that they’re not endorsing censorship and even add the line, “…we prefer to keep in mind that one person's vulgarity is another's poetry.”

Fair enough. Maybe.

“We track the number of times a blog has been flagged as objectionable and use this information to determine what action is needed.”

Now I have to ask, wouldnÂ’t the world at large benefit more if they had a flag to click if the content just plain sucked? Or the blogger was an asshole? Because IÂ’m here to tell you, I really see more potential in going that route.

1 Maybe we should institute something similar here. Like, "If you think this content is objectionable, click here to blow it out your ass; because we don't give a sweet soft shit about your objections."

3 I wonder what word or combo of words will get us a flag? I wish they had a place on the page for the flags you've earned.

4 It would be cool if they displayed a skull & crossbones for every one you've earned.

5 I wonder what would happen if we copied the flag .gif file and the link text from Blogger, and put the exact same thing on our template. Would it would allow people to rate the 'objectionalness' of our blog? Probably just give them some kind of error message though huh.

6 It wouldn't do anything. However... We could stick it up there and have it point to any page we want. Including one we could write that could say something extremely offensive. Not a bad idea, really. Or we could link the flag to a totally outragous gay pr0n site. That would teach them.

Posted by: Paul at August 30, 2005 03:01 PM (vbP6L)

7 Yeah, but I think people would start complaining to Pixy if we had an offensive link on our site. That might be a nono. Which is too bad too, because I have a perfectly disgusting, horrifying link, the kind of link that makes you wonder if there's anything worth saving in this screwed up world. If it didn't stir an immediate and physically violent objection in someone, you might want to check their pulse. Definitely too bad.

8 Is it tubgirl? That is the worst thing I have ever seen, on the internet or anywhere else. Just thinking about it makes me want to puke.

9 Bane, you're fucking telepathic. In a really distrubing way.

10 Bane, whats the url???

Posted by: fester at August 30, 2005 07:38 PM (tI7z1)

11 Never mind, I found it. Jap porn rules, but that's plain disgusting. Lots of shock value though.

12 Hey, where's the flag here?

Posted by: Jim at August 31, 2005 10:01 AM (tyQ8y)

13 Hell, this comment thread needs a flag.

The best idea IÂ’ve heard in a while, courtesy of the Borowitz Report:

“ARMY TO RECRUIT AT MTV MUSIC AWARDS
Rappers Could Skip Firearms Training, Pentagon Believes

He said that by recruiting soldiers at the MTV Music Awards, the Army would be gaining a pool of enlistees who would require no firearms training whatsoever, saving the Pentagon and U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars a year.

“Teaching these guys how to use a gun would be a serious waste of time,” Mr. Rumsfeld said. “It would be like teaching Courtney Love how to snort powder up her nose.”

While the Defense Secretary would not specify how the Army would induce rappers to enlist, he told reporters, “We are fully prepared to offer them a Cadillac Escalade, and we may throw in a ho or two as well.”


Meanwhile, I've got nothing.

My old lady and I are both addicted to French Market brand coffee. ItÂ’s from New Orleans and quite simply, no other coffee will do.

Over the weekend the old lady started to comb all the local grocery stores and buy as many cans of the stuff as she could get her hands on. SheÂ’s afraid that if the hurricane hits New Orleans we could be without our beloved French Market coffee for months. Moments ago, I received this email from my wife:

“I bought two more cans at the store today (all they had) and I plan to continue cleaning out the other stores for all I can find. I hope I can beat others to it. I’m sure that most normal people are still worried about the loss of life and destruction of property. I’m worried about that too, of course, but I’ve been addicted to this coffee for over a decade. I don’t know if I can live without it. You could say that I am also worried about the destruction of property, it’s just that I’m concerned with one specific place: The French Market Coffee Company.”

Emphasis mine.

I live for stuff like this. Some wack-job broke into a house five nights in a row to steal a womanÂ’s panties. The womanÂ’s husband was understandably pissed off and set up a home made alarm with a bra, string and coffee cup. When the thief set off the alarm the husband beat the living shit out of him with a wooden leg from his childÂ’s crib. The affidavit makes for an entertaining read. And of course, thereÂ’s a picture of the thief all beat to hell.

Oh, I forgot, and the perv kept his collection of panties in a lunchbox next to his bed.
