from the Saturday Silly Schtuff Dept.
Madfish Willie’s posted a new episode guide, Television Specials for 00’s. Notice the titles with a bit more of a ‘gangsta’ twist, now that Generation Z (or is it Y?) has become so coarsened and rooted in a new and strange urbanized hip hop culture. Thanks a lot, Eminem!
I myself would love to see “Imo Busta Cap Inyo Ass, Charlie Brown”.
Enjoy!
Islam Superstar!
Do you think it’s possible that, with all of the heightened awareness of Islamic religion and whatnot in our country, that something really big is going to happen, good or bad?
I do. But I think it should be good. Like, I what if the Quran’s story played out a la Broadway style or even in the cinemas….what will they call it? The Passion of The Prophet? Allah Spell?
Anyway…in my email’s inbox this morning, was this:
Click here for a Free Qur’an! Oh yippee. Sign me up right away please! Not. This promo to increase awareness of the Quran was sponsored by The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Don’t get me started on these bozos, who front themselves as doing more good than harm…trust me…it’s the other way around. They allot many more civil rights to those who come to this country than those who were born here (and want all our states to, as well).
Some quick examples: Did you know that in many cases an American person of Islamic faith can do any of the following in the office, at school, etc.:? Pray duing the day as much as they want during work (we all know that this means usng a mat, leaving the desk/chair and either closing a door or turning off the phone, etc…basically taking time out from the workday), wear attire that represents their religious beliefs, even the kind that hides their faces, especially in cases of driver’s license photos, pass out relgious literature/materials, organize prayer groups, the list goes on.
Not that there is much wrong with that…I guess. I mean it’s great and all, for American Muslims, but…I have a hard time swallowing the principle of it all, and here’s why: It’s a rare occurence nowadays, for any of this type of stuff to be allowed if the person above was a Mormon, a Born-Again Christian, a Southern Baptist, a Lutheran, a Jehovah’s Witness or even a Charlie Manson Worshipper, for that matter! Not in our secular society! No way, José!
I also have a good hunch that this type of information is passed freely on, to those who are not Americans (some of whom will never want to be), by social do-gooders. Those are the hands that these rights should not fall in. If you do not legally belong here, thanks for visiting! Hope you have a great time. Otherwise, naturalize yourself and then you can share civil rights with the rest of us. I’m very sure that a foreigner could never enjoy such an extended and welcoming visit in many of your native countries!
That’s just my $.02.
Sorry my Saturday silliness got so serious.
On a lighter, jollier note… I’ve noticed lately that weekends for alliance members tend to mean blog carnival roundups start popping up everywhere. Soooo….seeing as I’m the kind of person who either throws parties or crashes ‘em, I’m gonna have to read up on that, give a look see and find out what I can do to help (or harm). Heh.
Same day, different year..
