A New Way for Race-Hustling Idiots to be Offended

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

When it comes to finding trace amounts of imaginary racism to complain about,Pittsburgh is the place you want to be.

For the past 12 years–count ’em, twelve–city buses have carried the slogan, “Ziggin’ and Zaggin’.” Now persons with a gargantuan sense of entitlement are demanding that the slogans be removed because those words, spelled backwards (!), turn out to be racial slurs ( http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/06/proof_that_some_people_can_be_offended_by_anything.html ). Somehow no one noticed that twelve years ago.

Update: Catering to the complaints of dunderheads, Pittsburgh has ordered the read-’em-backwards-to-be-offended slogans to be removed from buses ( http://caveviews.blogs.com/cave_news/2015/06/slogan-ziggin-and-zaggin-removed-from-busses-in-pittsburgh.html ). Chalk up another win for Team Stupid.

Have you noticed that “Obama” spelled backwards almost makes “Ameba”? You’ve only got to change some letters, or else just say it real fast. Who can Al Sharpton sue for this? Who has to apologize?

Next they’ll be offended by anagrams. For instance, “this” can be arranged to spell out a vulgar synonym for doo-doo. And we’ll have to start calling ginger ale something else, too, to avoid racist overtones.

Stupidity is just like sin: it carries its own punishment.

Lefty Loons Try to Take Over Science Fiction

Not even the realm of science fiction is safe from being commandeered as a battleground in the Culture War–as usual, because lefty loons got there first and tried to take it over, lock, stock, and barrel. Well, at least they’d made a pretty good start at taking over science fiction’s annual Hugo Awards–until they ran into some unexpected pushback from science fiction writers ( http://thefederalist.com/2015/04/08/the-hugo-awards-culture-wars/ ).

Unlike, say, the Oscars, thousands of SF fans vote on the Hugos. All you have to do is go to a certain convention, pay a small membership fee, and you’re eligible to vote for the Hugo Awards.

This made it easy for ordinary people to join in the fun: very democratic. But it also made it easy for radical ideologues to organize and lobby so that only writers who had a reliably loopy left-wing political slant could ever win an award.

But after a while conservatives in the science fiction world cottoned on to what was happening, and counter-organized–

With such success that the 2015 Hugo nominations provoked a loud and anguished outcry from the usual gang of idiots. Sexism! Racism! Ho-mo-phobia! Too many white males! There oughta be a law! Do-over, do-over!

How the conservatives accomplished this makes very interesting reading. Consult the link to the article in The Federalist.

Again we see that, to the alleged mind of the progressive, no sphere of activity is immune to being swallowed up by politics. Everything, and they do mean everything, must be made into a vehicle to push the earthly paradise that will surely be ours, once the whoopee crowd has all the power and has utterly crushed and extirpated every vestige of opposition or dissent.

Not to mention the collateral pleasure of spoiling other people’s fun. How dare they enjoy their science fiction! Oh, we’ll fix them! Arise, you victims of oppression…

But this time it looks like the good guys have won.

Let’s Nag Each Other About Racism

I have never been inside a Starbuck’s, and I don’t plan on doing that anytime soon. Like, how much money can you cough up for a cup of coffee?

It’s bad enough they call their employees “baristas.” But recently, in an unsuccessful attempt to inject liberal politics into the most ordinary aspects of life, the top banana of Starbuck’s ordered his peons–er, baristas–to invite customers to “talk about race” while they had their coffee.

This little boat sank in a sea of public mockery ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3000260/Starbucks-PR-fail-Twitter-mockery-causes-coffee-executive-delete-account-customers-say-NOT-want-talk-racism-ordering-coffee.html ).

“Hi, here’s your coffee. Now let’s talk about racism.”

Oh, what fun Lenny Bruce would’ve had with that straight line!

This caper is yet another living example of the lib’s entitlement mind-set. Because he’s so much smarter than you, so much better, so morally superior, he can just invade your space anytime he wants–or, better yet, downright delicious, he can order someone else to do it for him. Liberal heaven!

When you’re a lib big shot, you don’t have to solve problems. Indeed, you can even do stuff that makes the problems worse. Nothing matters but your own self-righteousness: and the cheaper it comes, the more you like it.

If there was ever a right time for a pie in the face…

American Whiners Censor Australian TV Commercial

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

So there was Australia, minding its own business, enjoying a cricket match featuring some of the top teams from the West Indies. Cricket is the sport that unites the assorted nations of the British Commonwealth. Don’t ask me how it’s played, but Australians and Jamaicans and Indians and Englishmen all seem to love it.

The cricket’s on TV, and TV means sponsors, and so Kentucky Fried Chicken made an ad showing people at a cricket match, mostly West Indians, happily enjoying fried chicken.

And then came the protests, all the way across the widest ocean in the world: American liberals didn’t like the ad on Australian TV. Oh, what racism! What racial insensitivity! What callous cruelty to African-Americans, even to suggest that they might enjoy fried chicken!

Except that West Indians are not African-Americans, and everybody likes fried chicken except liberal morons who are also vegetarians.

Literally, there is no place on earth safe from the American racial grievance industry. On the opposite side of the world, they whined and belly-ached and applied pressure until the KFC ad was dropped from Australian TV.

Normal human beings of the world, unite! Destroy American liberalism, so we can eat our fried chicken in peace.
