Here In Our Nation's Capital, Liberty Is Dead...
I'm just a visitor (perhaps of this entire nation, but for sure here in D.C.) so, maybe I shouldn't get so worked up. The local news is talking about the new policy of random searches of bags for the trains and subway. The people they polled were largely in favor, because it made them feel "safe". Fuck you all- you D.C. charlatans. You are not Americans, and wouldn't know Freedom if it noisily split you in half.
Amendment 4, motherfuckers.

Whiskey Tango?
Now, I know that advertising people are collectively a cancer on our society, probably because they WANT to sell things using images of genitals, but this insanely uptight ersatz-puritanical culture has so much shame that that can never happen. No doubt this leads to all the psychotic and/or insulting advertising that we see, but what is this shit about?
Exhibit A.
What is happening here? "Make him yours"? She doesn't appear to want him at all, so how is this a good thing? 5 Free tools? Weapons? Emotional manipulation tactics? Roofies? And why does the relationship need healing? She's looking away so whatever it was, it must've been his fault- right?
See- just the other day, who was I telling? I was talking to someone and I was explaining that all males (I think this applies regardless of orientation) really want sex slaves. It's not a mean thing necessarily- well, maybe it's not primarily meant to be mean. I was explaining that what all men want is an accommodating female body to do things to/with without all the emotional stuff, since were collectively outgunned in this capacity by orders of magnitude. We want a female that doesn't say "no" and that puts up with whatever we can dream up. Maybe that means some contraption in the garage with pulleys, or maybe it's just having a look at where the pee comes from with a magnifying glass.
It's not rooted in misogyny, it's rooted in laziness and hedonism, but it influenced by the Judeo-Christian shame we have here. Not many males are cut of the Marquis de Sade cloth, but ask any man how he felt about Princess Leia in the metal bikini, on a chain in that Star Wars movie, and you'll see the guy go to his "happy place" just remembering it. It's how we're wired. We like to possess things- cars, computers, gadgets- and hey, wouldn't a sex slave be cool?
I was wondering if this ad was trying to play to a similar vibe in women, but in all the times I've asked women about male slaves, sex wasn't the first thing they mentioned. Cooking, cleaning, and foot massages seem to be higher on the female hierarchy of needs. Men think of slaves and they rush to multiple partners, bondage, or anal sex- whatever they themselves have been wanting and not getting, and women think about having someone clean the bathroom. That's a cruel fucking joke to play on us as a species.
What do you want to bet the blonde in that ad is imagining that guy vacuuming?

What's wrong with Microsoft, Exhibit # 1781
MS has no vision and no style, and this is the result. Ever wonder why they don't create new ideas, so much as buy smaller companies with new ideas? I can only feel pity at this point.

Seriously?
I ran across this image while doing something for work:
Does anyone NOT see the problem here? I should include this in job interviews.
Why do we let the dumb people breed?
