First, I’d like to apologise to anyone who might actually read this blog. I’ve been away for a while after becoming disillusioned with the amount of hate mail I was receiving for one Zac Efron post and one Fergie post. Both of these posts were in the spirit of distaste for these particular cogs in [...]

FOX is afraid we will learn what we already know…
Posted in T.V., celebrities, politics, propaganda on September 17, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Notoriously right-wing network, FOX, censors Sally Fields’ acceptance speech at 2:00 into the clip…keep watching, keep watching…Makes you wonder just how ‘progressive’ shows like The Family Guy really are? Women’s voices = Power. Women’s voices as Puppets of the Patriarchy = Pathetic (Joan Rivers, take note!)
Ulterior Motive of the Day: Dove’s “Pro-Age” Campaign
Posted in Ads, propaganda on September 7, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’m SO SICK OF DOVE! OK, so they’ve had “fat” girls in their campaign, and now they’re on to old women. In a continuing effort to dupe the masses, Dove proclaims that everyone is beautiful and sexy, that they’re not “anti”-age but “pro”-age and that even 60+ y.o. women deserve to be exploited by [...]
Stephen Harper, We Demand an Inquiry!

Canadians are Naïve, Naïve, Naïve!”
Disclaimer: Part of me believes we, as a people, masochistically enjoy watching our governments slip into the nightmarish, Orwellian clichés just so we can say, “See? Government BAD! Government EVIL!” and feel totally vindicated for fudging our taxes; this only demonstrates how naïve we are here in Canada when [...]
Like Easter, but every 2-4 weeks!

The system will keep finding ways to keep women too distracted and preoccupied with the way they look to amount to much more than an overly-decorated Easter Egg with a short shelf-life: dyed, stenciled, painted, put in a basket for all to see, and then cracked open and tossed out with the scraps, never getting [...]
Torn Between Love and Hate: Morrissey Chides Madonna, Praises PeTA
Posted in Morrissey, celebrities, idiots, music, politics, propaganda, wtf on July 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
So at a concert in Norfolk, VA, Morrissey made a few on-stage pronouncements about Madge’s timely shift in public persona as ‘eco-friendly’:
According to 24Sizzler.com’s spy, the eco-friendly rocker told concert-goers about fur-loving Madonna, “I wouldn’t be surprised if she [Madonna] made that African boy into a coat and wore him … for 15 minutes, and [...]
Stanley K. Bernstein: Diet Doctor or Doctor Death?
Posted in Underworld, celebrities, gossip, idiots, itstory, politics, propaganda, wtf on July 4, 2007 | 3 Comments »
This news is old but forgotten. I keep seeing ads for Bernstein’s diet clinics on TV and wonder what special forces it took to acquit him of attempted murder charges when all of the jewellry and Rolex watches were stashed in his home… I also wonder what kind of powerhouse lawyer he employed [...]
Non-Lethal Weaponry
Posted in propaganda on June 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Been googling Non-Lethal Weaponry and there are extensive lists. Most notable, apart from the Gay Bomb, are Acoustitcs weapons that emit nauseating frequencies that make the opponent’s head want to explode, and lasers that produce a burning sensation on the skin without actually burning the skin…But this one’s my absolute favourite from a list [...]

Kathy Lee Gifford: Patron Saint of Labouring Children
Don’t be fooled by Ronald McDonald House, WalMart Children’s Charities or other corporate children’s charities…it’s a front. Today is a reminder that our comfortable lifestyles come at the expense others’ childhoods. Here are some of the most popular offenders you might try and avoid…
Gay Bomb?

This is old news, but news to me.
CBS Headline: Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A ‘Gay Bomb’
(CBS 5) BERKELEY A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested [...]

De-Evolution of Retro Style
Posted in art?, celebrities, itstory, music, propaganda, sex on June 8, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Retro is always in. But in the past year, it’s been in in a very particular way. Doo-wop and 50s girls style defines musicians like Amy Winehouse (signature beehive) and the Pipettes (another female-fronted band); Christina Aguilera goes further, evoking the Company B style of the WWII era. I can’t help but [...]
But, they’re still in their unmentionables…
Posted in Ads, propaganda, sex on June 8, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I know this ad is old, but it never gets old for me. I love that women being “revolutionary” means appearing in front of a camera in plain, white underwear. Way to challenge the patriarchy. Along with this pathetic statement, is the inherent contradiction in the message: you’re perfect the way you [...]
