An Actual YouTube Comment

He also used the wrong form of "their." 

This can't have been a typo. How do you miss the "e" key by four keys?

Phil Robertson on Marrying Teenage Girls

Jesus Christ.

"Look, you wait till they get to be 20-years-old--the only picking that's gonna take place is in your pocket. You gotta marry these girls when they're about 15 or 16."

This video is actually from a few years ago, before Duck Dynasty started airing. So it wasn't a publicity stunt to keep the controversy going. I think anyone who's on Phil Robertson's side at this point needs to get their brain checked to see if their synapses have misfired.

My blog has hit 2000 page views

Wahoo!

The Dumbest Lawyer in America

Chris Sevier of Tennessee has taken the title of the dumbest lawyer in America away from Orly Taitz with this hilariously idiotic lawsuit he filed against not only the A & E Network, but also GLADD and Obama. Because Obama is in cahoots with A & E to "further the gay agenda" of course!

Sevier previously made a fool of himself for filing a lawsuit against Apple for his own addiction to internet porn and the subsequent breakdown of his marriage. He claimed to have visited the porn site by accident and wanted to visit Facebook. Instead he typed in Fuckbook by "mistake."

Take a look at this picture of the keyboard right below and note the positions of the keys:

How far away are the "a" and "u" keys? How far away are the "e" and "k" keys? Those are two pretty extreme typos. 

I don't know what they're teaching in law school anymore, but they were extremely ill-advised on letting this guy graduate.

Phil Robertson no longer suspended from A & E

This little controversy and the hissy fit people threw about it ended very predictably. I honestly don't think there was ever any danger of Phil Robertson actually getting fired. In fact, I'm pretty sure A & E enjoyed the publicity generated from the controversy. How many of you had heard of Duck Dynasty before Robertson's comments? I know I hadn't. Sarah Palin made a fool of herself defending Robertson before she even know what he'd actually said. And the National Council of Freedom and Enterprise had a petition going in support of Robertson--their ads were plastered across several of the blogs that I read, none of which are geared toward the target audience of Duck Dynasty. It's weird how the internet works sometimes.

The only thing I feel the need to directly comment on is this tweet from Bobby Jindal.

The State of Louisiana must have no problems at all if the fucking governor has nothing better to do than jump to the defense of some unimportant pseudo-celebrity from a reality show most people probably never heard of before said unimportant pseudo-celebrity said stupid things about gays and black people. I think that's the real lesson to take away from all of this. Our leaders have far more free time on their hands than their jobs reasonably entails. 

This is why they're called the "American Taliban"

Seriously, if I told you that this blog post was written by Muslim Jihadists, would you believe me? If I told you it was written by ultraconservative Christians, would you believe me? More appropriately, which of those things would you have an easier time believing? I mean, Holy Shit! You can't parody stuff like this!

Ed Brayton breaks this thing down better than I can here.

Add the existence of these people into the list of things that would give George Orwell nightmares.
