...but the title of this article is pretty darn close. "Adrien Brody Still Traumatized By Goat Rape"
Next week, May 20th is “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day”. This is the blasphemous response to a South Park episode being censored because not only did South Park's station, Comedy Central, block out the Mohammed character, they even bleeped out any mention of Mohammed's name. Why? Because some Muslim douches, based in New York, threatened violence. In other words, these Muslims terrorized them. With death threats. So the horrible violence-inducing response to these threats is to show images of Mohammed. Not violence. Not threats. Just showing stupid images of Mohammed. It still might cause violence, but at least it beats being a Muslim, especially if you are a woman or a child. More.And I've been annoying people with this crap all day. It's late at night and tomorrow this probably won't seem funny at all, but right now, in my sleep-deprived state, I am just rolling on the floor.
I've pointed out before that I'm not that fond of cats. I'm a dog person, like all normal non-psychotic people. That's why I find today, the second Sunday of May, sort of amusing. In the town of Ypres (don't try to pronounce it, it's french), there is a festival celebrated every three years called Kattenstoet. It commemorates a time in the Middle Ages when Ypres was an important textile town, and cats were used to prevent rats from damaging the raw products. The cloth was kept in...now follow me here....the Cloth Hall of the town square. When it came time to sell off the cloth and the cats were no longer needed, they were chucked off the Cloth Hall tower. The reason they did this I guess is because cats were considered evil even if they did keep the rats away. Either that or they didn't want to carry cats down all those stairs. It does sound messy though. Today they use stuffed toy cats and have a parade where people dress up like cats and do other euro-gay stuff. But it's more proof that at one time, Europe wasn't just a place to make fun of. It was also a place that chucked cats off the roof.
And maybe, if I have time, illustrations and also maybe a mascot.
p.s. If you're tired of my inanities and my politics, Jen at Morta Di Fame has a foodie blog. She started her blog about the same time I did, we're both Sicilian-Americans and, for some reason, we both have the same background color on our blogs. Also, she has photos of pizza which, next to watermelon Jolly Ranchers, is nature's perfect food.
