top five things we’re fucking up in the news
Posted by thecrankyclam on April 6, 2008
I know I have other stuff to worry about, but as long as Eliot Spitzer’s whores and Britney Spears keep dominating the news, it’s up to NPR nerds and English teachers to give a flying fuck. So, please allow me to hop in my time machine and go back 10 years to when everyone thought pirates, monkeys and ninjas were cool. Now that it is 1998 and I’m in high school again, this news should blow my tiny mind. While I’m here, I might as well grab a hot cheese hoagie and chocolate milk and, oh, hey! I forgot that this is also when stoners sported those “free Tibet” stickers as a fashion statement. Wasn’t that cute and fun? Fast forward to the present when shit is going 10 kinds of crazy in Tibet, but we’re too busy buying Palestinian headscarves on St. Marks because they’re pretty. No wonder New Yorkers are so confused. We’re not sure if we’re having a free Tibet rally or a pillow fight.

re: panel excerpt - wrong? no. But it’s probably less funny once you’ve met any of the many people who do fit that description with deep rigor and integrity. I don’t claim to be one myself, but I assure you they exist! Unfortunately they don’t often have the loudest voices within religious communities. That is a problem.

Nope, not wrong, because it is funny, and an oxymoron.
And…. The noooze is totally fucked up.

word. where are all those people that were so passionate about Tibet 10 years ago? While the inhumane assault on the Tibetan people has reached a new levels. Religion and money are truly the root to all violence and hatred in the world.
