I am about to enter a period where the only person who both a) understands what I do for a living and b) has any sort of authority over me, is going on a two week vacation. I expect the rest of October to be glorious.
...and here we go...One school district in Connecticut has canceled Halloween on the grounds that it might offend someone: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/10/12/boo-connecticut-school-district-cancels-halloween/?intcmp=hpbt4
These fuckheads need their own planet to live on. Preferably Venus. They tried this bullshit at my daughter's school last year, we parents banded together, told them to go fuck themselves and sent them in costume to school anyways. You're not taking away the most beloved day of the year on the grounds you MIGHT offend an immigrant, which isn't happening anyway. NOBODY GIVES A FUCK. When will people realize that hurting a person's feelings doesn't mean shit?
Halloween is on a Saturday. The school can't cancel that. They're just canceling Halloween parades, that I assume were to take place during school or somehow involving the school. Personally, I don't think a public school shouldn't involved in the parade anyway. But, if it meets whatever dress code standard they have, I don't see why they have to prohibit the kids from dressing up. If the school has spirit week, and it's 80's day, or whatever, do they consider the kids who don't dress up that way as excluded, too?
If we want to be an all inclusive nation, we must celebrate Halloween. Our day of tacit devil worship is important to certain groups: wiccans, earth worshipers, super cool satanists, candy makers, and drunk whores who like to show me their tits at parties. Goddammit, this is America. Because you are offended does not mean you get to dictate status quo. That is the height of conceit and the very thing this country was founded against. While we're at it we should celebrate more. Ramadan, or all those random Jewish holidays. Let's do that. Any reason to eat schwarma and get a day off is awesome even if I just listed fasting holidays. Look, I don't make you worship Jesus on Xmas, I can eat between dusk and dawn, but we all get another day off. The story above, makes us sound like the biggest bunch of pussies. Put those people in a burlap sack with a few chronic masturbating bonobo chimps and mail the whole parcel to Siberia.
I think we go in the opposite direction. Ban everything. Eliminate all holidays, parties, celebrations and observances so anyone who doesn't observed a particular holiday or celebration doesn't feel excluded . Dress our children in gray burlap sacks so the kids who don't have nice clothes don't feel excluded. Paint everything gray, so the color blind, or those religiously opposed to colorful displays don't feel excluded. Cut out the tongues of everyone at birth, so no one can say anything offensive, exclusionary or hurtful. Remove everyone's fingers, so no offensive or exclusionary missives can be written. Remove everyone's eyes, lest they see and judge others. Lobotomies for all, so that no offensive or exclusionary thoughts can be thunk. That should just about cover it. Fucking assholes
Not just yet... Ban all scholastic sports so the nonathletic kids don't feel excluded. Ban all honors classes so the lower intelligence students aren't excluded. Same with music, art, and anything else someone might be gifted at.
The only way for mankind to be happy is to eliminate everything we enjoy whatsoever. Only then will the SJW's shut their fucking holes. Kid can't dress for Halloween? I'm a Wiccan and you're oppressing my religious beliefs. PROVE YOU'RE NOT. Until then my kid will celebrate whatever the fuck she wants and if anybody claims "But....muh FEELZ!" They can sit there and take it, because they're keyboard pussies that wouldn't know real activism if it chomped them on the taint.
The only thing worse than the SJW fucktits on twitter are the people who actually pause to give them the benefit of the doubt. I can't wait for twitter to go bankrupt. #unsolvent #layoffs #spareadollarbruh?
This extra PC bullshit is for the birds. You can't dress up, have school holiday parties, bring food or have anything resembling a fucking personality without offending someone's delicate sensibilities. Someday I'm gonna have a kid and ignore all the "rules". Sensitive pussies can eat a dick.
The NFL is now issuing DMCA takedown notices to people who post .gifs from the games on twitter. Guess they're afraid one is gonna show Goodell's tiny dick. This is a simple matter of "yes, you are technically in the right legally, but it is harming no one and is doing this really worth the mounds of bad publicity that's going to make you inevitably apologize?" September was the first calendar month no players were arrested in six years. The league offices were probably just bored and looking for a PR opportunity to fuck up.
So playboy is going no full nudes (what ever that means). In other news that might have affected my early teenage self, xvideos has a slew of Jenna Jameson vids I've never seen before.
Playboy claims photos will "still be provocative". In porn, less means less. I don't know who thought this would be s good idea but R.I.P Playboy. We NEVER read you for the articles.
My guess is that they'll start pursuing a slew of celebrities who wouldn't get nude but have no problem showing their tits. Doing that alone will keep the magazine going because people will be curious to see Kylie Jenner's nipples without looking through a sheer shirt or praying for camera flash.
I'm so sexually ruined from porn that the only thing that gets me off is two Cambodian women fisting each other when a midget dressed like Lincoln administers a cole slaw enema to one of the girl's ass while a clown on a unicycle plays an alto sax. Playboy models were so airbrushed they looked like pieces of trashy art a mechanic would hang in his house bathroom. There is barely any difference between their pictures and Heavy Metal type erotica drawing. What a shitty publication. I hope Hugh Hefner trips on his own scrotum and takes a tumble down the stairs.
Porn and erotica will always be masturbation fodder first and foremost, from the S.I swimsuit edition to things involving mutant amputees. But free endless ENDLESS videos are now available at the push of a button. On the phone you're holding in your hand. If I could tell my 1995 self that this would become fact he'd shit himself retarded. Photography is dinosaur shit in this industry. That's why Larry Flynt wisely branched out before it died.
Other access is exactly why Playboy is changing. Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit edition is always HUGE. Playboy should move to offering pretty much GQ does, and then just have an annual Nudity Issue. The girls who are then selected for that single issue become even more exclusive than the Playmate tag now. Like SI does with its athletes section of the Swimsuit issue, Playboy's annual Nudity Issue could feature a few select actresses or entertainers who otherwise haven't posed nude / topless. Continuing to provide a quality magazine with no or limited nudity won't impact their sales down as much as having an "event issue" will boost their sales up. And, get them talked about in the press cycle the way SI gets promoted for their Swimsuit edition.
Good idea. Won't happen. I heard heff's shitbird son wanted to change it into a maxim style magazine. I feel like anything at this point outside of A list celeb nudes ONLY or actual perfect 10 model hardcore porn nothing is saving this agged giant. The only thing now is to tie heff to his Cosby style rape antics,which he has skated on so far. Cue public outrage and a coronary and it'll all be another icon crushed to dust.
I find it kind of hard to believe that any print magazines are still in business with the internet so widely available. I used to buy shitloads of magazines every month, probably at least $100 a month about 20 years ago. I haven't bought one now in at least 15 years.
