Gay Icon is a BS

I hate the gay community.

By gay community, I am not referring to gay people overall, but the outspoken members that speaks public about the gay people as a whole, and clamor around the gay venue in masses.

I simply do not find anything common with them. I think gay parade is tacky and gross. Yes, it had a meaning back then. Back when people used to accentuate the gay stereotypes in order to combat and ridicule the fears that majority had about the homosexuality. But now, as Lisa Simpson once shouted at a gay parade, “we know that you are here, and that you are queer. We got used to it.” It is rare for me to have a gay friend, but I still have them. I simply do not go to a gay bar with them.

I also don’t agree with the mentality that most people hold. As my ex once said, “some gay people are obsessed being gay.” Okay, I do write about being gay, so I guess I’m guilty in this one. Anyways. What I don’t like is people dictating how gay people should act. They decree, saying gays have to like Madonna. They have to have casual sex. They have to wear Calvin Klein underwear and Abercombie & Fitch. The last time I checked, the only prerequisite you needed to be gay was to like the member of the same sex. Since when did music come into this? Some gays are feminine (like me), but just like not all girls like pop music, not all gays like pop music. If you are confident with sexuality, you wouldn’t care how much or how little sex other gays decide to have. I don’t agree with a lifestyle where everyone dresses the same, and some act all b1tchy, gossiping and trying to be one step ahead of other gays, as if we are manufactured that way. I don’t like going to venues where people sit with their noses up high, peering at the new meat the just came in the bar, while wearing some brand name clothes that do not fit them at all.
Well, That was a longer intro then I planned.

I was stunned to read the following:

http://blogs.usatoday.com/entertainment/2009/04/britney-honored-by-gay-community-austin-city-limits-music-festival-headliners.htm

“Britney Spears will be honored with the Always Next, Forever Now Award at Logo’s NewNowNext Awards. The pop star is scheduled to accept the special award, which “pays homage to beloved Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender icons.” The second annual awards show, hosted by RuPaul, airs June 13 (9 p.m. ET/PT) on Logo, MTV’s gay-and-lesbian-themed network. …”

What??? What did B.S ever do for gays???? What the hell?

If people wanna like B.S, be my guest, but don’t call her a gay icon. I find that a bit scathing.
Shouldn’t these awards go to someone who actually did something for “the gays?”

It’s not as if every time she was on TV, she shouted “vote against Prop 8 y’all!”

I can think of so many celebrities that did more than what she did for gay rights. America Ferrera, Tony Plana & Ana Ortiz to begin with. They actually put their careers in line, staring in a few anti-prop 8 ads. Theirs especially targeted the “family-oriented” latino population.  They may have alienated some fans in appearing on this ad.

I like myself, and am confident about myself (although I wish I wasn’t disabled). So I feel no need to like the music that the “community” likes, or other people with low self-esteem want all the gays to do.  To paraphrase the extremely progressive thinking response that was on North Korea’s official website on the question, “what is the North Korea’s stance on homosexuality,” I will continue to “reject many characteristics of the popular gay culture in the West, which many perceive to embrace consumerism, classism and promiscuity.”

Konami Created WHAT-!?

I meant to update this post much sooner, but I have been ridiculously busy. “I-need-coffee-on-a-drip” busy.

Japanese game industry, except for the ever so wise Nintendo, has been hit hard. Apprehensive due to the declining birth rate (meaning fewer kids to play the games than before), JPN game makers have tried to scour ways to entice foreign markets, abandoning what made their games unique once, and failing miserably. Square-Enix has combined their powers with a U.S game maker to make a… war game!? Konami is jumping onto this bandwagon…. But not only will they fail, they will fail with enraging millions.

In November 2004, the USA army has surrounded the city of Fallujah for their “war against terror.” Konami thought it would make a perfect sense to make a video game based on this event, which still is a source of controversy! http://au.gamespot.com/events/konami09/story.html?sid=6207816

I haven’t played the game myself. Although Konami and its cohort Atomic Games defend their controversial action by stating, “for us, the challenge was how do you present the horrors of war in a game that is also entertaining, but also gives people insight into a historical situation in a way that only a video game can provide? Our goal is to give people that insight, of what it’s like to be a Marine during that event, what it’s like to be a civilian in the city and what it’s like to be an insurgent.” I simply don’t buy it. How can you make a game about such an atrocity? Games by nature is supposed to be entertaining to be the player; the one that is doing the action. Would the Konami manufacturer would be saying the same thing if they made a game out of Tokyo Sarin poisoning case or 9/11 hijack event? Yeah sure, you would be understanding the perspective of the terrorists. Games, by nature, make you feel sympathetic to the protagonist. We really do not need any games where such a thing, in this case where at least 1,000 civilians died, many more thousands became a refugee, is glorified.

Protests have began in several parts of the world.

Stop The War Coalition spokesperson Tansy E Hoskins has made the following statement:

“There is nothing to celebrate in the death of people resisting an unjust and bloody occupation. To make a game out of a war crime and to capitalise on the death and injury of thousands is sick. There will never be a time when it is appropriate for people to ‘play’ at committing atrocities. The massacre in Fallujah should be remembered with shame and horror not glamorised and glossed over for entertainment.”

This news came just a few months after the over the top raping game “RapeLay” (Rape Play) caused stir by appearing on Amazon.com, which was then quickly banned. To surmise what this game is about, I have copied and pasted from the website:

From the website:
RapeLay is a molestation simulation that allows you to terrorize a woman and her two teenage daughters, with events ranging from groping on a train to gang rape and forced abortions.

You can read more about this here:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/4611161/Rapelay-virtual-rape-game-banned-by-Amazon.html

Although the rape game was created by and for a niche market, a bunch of underground pervs who will never gain prominence, Konami, whose game has been sold worldwide should know better. There are some subjects that should not be glorified.

Konami, go back to creating games where bunch of Caucasians stumble in a creepy town with knife-wielding zombie nurses.

Applauding Miss California’s Answer Regarding Gay Marriage

Besides the fact that most people would look like the perfect guest for a cocktail mixer if they stand next to the disgusting uber-douche Perez Hilton, I feel like siding with Carrie Prejean on this one.

For those that do not pay attention to the US media, let me explain what happened. The disgusting man that should be forgotten, yours truly P. Hilton, was chosen mysteriously as a Miss USA judge. Erm…? I’m not saying gay people can’t judge a female beauty pageant, but him? Really? What credentials does he have?

Anyways, obsessed with being gay, he decided to ask the following question to the hapless blond during the Q&A portion:

“Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?”

Visibly shaken, the Cali beauty did her best by replying:

“Well I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. You know what, in my country, in my family, I do believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman. Thank you.”

I still do not see anyone would make a huge fuss over her answer. Yeah sure, it is not something we would like to hear from in a political speech, but it isn’t. Some people have made fun of the term “opposite marriage,” but we all know what she meant.

P. Hilton, being a drama queen 24/7, blasted out that how she was a forerunner in the race, but blew her chance because of the answer. And that, “she lost not because she doesn’t believe in gay marriage, she lost because she’s a dumb bitch!”  Thanks Perez for tarnishing the whole gay rights movement with his over the top behavior.

Can someone please tell me why her answer is worthy of being called a “b1tch?”

I personally believe that people are born gay, and although gay marriage will probably mean nothing to people who won’t get it, like P. Hilton, it should be legalized. Saying that, gay marriage is still a hot topic in USA. I personally do not see how she could have answered the question without alienating or offending anyone. It is one of those “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” question, and I think is unfair.

Second, the truth is, a majority of people in the US is against gay marriage. Miss California had her opinion, shared by many, and said it in a candid and non-offensive manner. It’s not as if she went out and said “gays are filthy and icky. They should totally not get married cuz they are sluts anyways.”

Being an Asian, I sometimes experience racism in clubs. People would hassle me for my IDs then tell me they are not good enough, or tell me that I am not dressed appropriately, when I see Caucasians who look much more underage or under-dressed than me breezes in the club. The link below describes a study done regarding this matter in British clubs:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/yorkslincs/series11/week2_clubs_racism.shtml

Racism nowadays are more covert. If a shop clerk, who did not break a smile at all to me, but were extra-friendly to my Caucasian boyfriend, is it because I’m Asian? Or if people refused to speak to me from day 1, is it because of my race or just the vibe that I give off? It is frustrating when you can’t come out and say that they are being racists, for they haven’t spelled out.

The answer that Miss CA gave was honest open answer about her belief. If you don’t agree with her, simply ask why she would say so, and what your belief is. People can hide their discriminatory feelings, but come voting day, and they will vote the other way around.

And gay people who are up in arms with the answer should ask themselves this question: “Would you have been gay-friendly if you were straight?” There is no excuse to be discriminatory when you reach a certain age and are able to form a coherent logical thinking. Saying that, it is hard not to grow up being homophobic in parts of our world. People see b1tchy queens, conniving slutty gay characters, and Perez Hilton on TV. They also see grown men wearing tight vibrantly colored speedos, prancing on the van in a society where straight women and men would not do such a thing. My slutty acquaintance once told me how there was a gay Disney event, and he thought it was hilarious because families with kids were there and they were offended. If that was true, I personally think gay Disney is gross. If I had kids, or were taking care of my relatives’ kids and was at Disneyland when that took place, I would be offended.

Our society is saturated with information and images that make it easy for people to be homophobic. There is no way in the world people would change their ideas by blasting them off without giving a proper reason.

Just like in the Aesop fable of “The Wind and the Sun,” discrimination cannot be overcome if one throws a hissy fit when a person shares their opinion in a candid and polite manner, but making the person see why their belief is wrong in a polite way.

Russian Hairdresser Makes a Sex Slave Out of a Robber

Rape is not a joking matter, but I found the following news interesting

From http://www.mosnews.com/society/2009/04/14/1013/

Hairdresser turns robber into sex slave

14 Apr, 03:05 PM

A young hairdresser in Kaluga, Central Russia, locked a robber who tried to steal her money in the basement of the beauty salon. After that, she has brutally raped her hostage for three days. A court in Kaluga has filed criminal charges against both of them, the Russian website Newsru.com reports.

The robber, who has not been named, burst into the salon armed with shotgun at about 17.00 on March 14. He demanded money. There were two hairdressers and one client in the salon at the time. One of hairdressers, who was studying judo and taekwondo, disabled the robber with a smashing body blow. Then she carried the unlucky robber to the basement and bound him with a hairdryer cord.

The hairdresser told her scared colleague and the client that she would call the police. But she did not. After work, instead of calling the police, she made her hostage undress. The perverted hairdresser forced the hostage to take several Viagra tablets. She chained the unfortunate robber with pink furry wristbands and painfully raped him for the next three days.

After his release, the exhausted robber filed charges against the perverted woman. The frenulum of his penis was torn as a consequence of rape session.

“That’s ridiculous. We had sex just a couple times. I brought him brand new jeans. I fed him every day and gave him one thousand rubles ($25) before his release,” the hairdresser said.

In response, she filed charges against the robber.

The robber admitted that the hairdresser really did feed him royally.

“I actually don’t know what will happen to them. But it’s a pity that they could not meet in the cell. They would be a great couple,” one of the police officers said.

First reading this news, I wondered how attractive the guy was. How in the world would you come to think of turning the guy you just beat up into a sex slave?

And on the second note, for a rapist, she did treat they guy well. Well, she didn’t go out of her way to abduct guys, but when you here about male rapists/abductors, such as Charles Ng, they were pretty brutal to the victims….

And third, how much of this just sounds like a porn script? I can picture a Russian porn company making a porn film based on this!

As for the woman herself…. Some readers might wonder how she might look like… I mean, you would assume rapists to be unattractive bunch, right. Well, judging from the pic provided from the link below, she’s not such a bad looker.

I am quite sure there would have been tons of guys who would have gladly traded place with the hapless robber.

Lindsay Lohan really decided to sell out and doom herself to a sh1tty career until her 40s at least, when she’ll make some kind of amazing come back movie

This is two weeks old, but I have to share, cuz I can’t stop watching the hilarious new ad for Fornarina featuring Lindsay Lohan. It is SUCKTASTIC.

I like Lindsay Lohan, I do.

She IS talented.

Have you seen “The Parent Trap?” That is when most of us saw Lindsay first. She plays twins, and I honestly thought a pair of twins were playing the roles. It was that convincing. She was 12 back then.

Her next big splash into the mainstream was 2003, where she played a mom whose spirit gets trapped in her teenage daughter’s body in “Freaky Friday,” opposite Jamie Lee Curtis. Both lead actresses were highly praised for their acting. Then came Mean Girls, which really propelled her career as a tween star.

I personally thought the trailer for Mean Girls was horrible, and refused to watch. Until I fell ill, and that was the only DVD that was available (brought to by my friend).

Then her horrible dysfunctional family (that is an understatement) helped ruining her career, along with her unkempt partying ways and horrible career choice.

If those who thought “I Know Who Killed Me” was a horrible role to play, they have to watch this ad. It is sucktastic.

E!’s “The Soup” joked about this.

Joel McHale, the host, made fun of it by re-enacting the ad, saying, “Desperate.Need cash.Mirrors cut lines.Need more cash.Crash car.Narnia.”

Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay… Fire your agent. And (as one youtube poster commented), you need to click, flash, wow yourself a sandwich. Still looks hot though…

The title comes from another youtube comment, where a user stated that, “this is a perfect moment to seen when she really decided to sell out….”

And if you haven’t watched the horrible trailer of Mean Girls, please do so. I like to inflict my pain to others, just like that evil chick in that horror movie (you know which movie I’m referring to, right?)

Evil Mother-in-law Cannot be Killed, Even with Rockets

Where can this happen?

Bosnia, of course.

A man blaming his divorce on the mother-in-law, tried to kill her with missiles and a machine gun, but she refused to die….
Although no one except for them know the exact details, I guess that the mother-in-law, probably not the sole reason, did meddle with the guy’s affair.  Clearly, murder is not the way to go, but I cannot help but to be amazed by this woman’s vitality!  Or maybe she was just that evil and wicked.

From

http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_3260168.html

“They’re tougher than cockroaches and have more lives than cats……………

A desperate husband tried to kill his mother-in-law with an anti-tank missile launcher after claiming she’d turned his wife against him.

Bosnian Miroslav Miljici wanted revenge after blaming his wife’s mum for the break-up of his marriage.

And when his mother-in-law survived the rocket attack on her home, he tried to finish her off with a machine gun, a court in Doboj, Bosnia, was told.

Amazingly, she survived both attacks with barely a scratch, judges heard.

In defence Miljici – jailed for six years for attempted murder – told the court he could no longer take his mother-in-law’s nagging.”

GTA Addictions Lead to Murder

Yet ANOTHER crime related to the controversial game series “Grand Theft Auto” occured.
This time, the one with the murdourous rage was the not the gamer herself, but the partner of the gamer.
Being forced to sleep in the conservatory while Carol Cannon was playing GTA all night long, her partner Malcolm Palmer, 62, stabbed her after a quarrel.  The 30-year long relationship deteriorated after Ms. Cannon became addicted to the game, when she initially purchased it for her son.

Was “Assassinate Ichiro” T-shirt Popular? -More Painful News-

From: http://www.zakzak.co.jp/spo/200903/s2009031402_1.html

This news may come as a bit late…. But is this true?

“March 14th: A shocking sports merchandise is sold in Korea, and is receiving wide attention.

This year is the 100th anniversary of the assassination of Ito Hirobumi, a Resident-General of Korea. Placing the pitcher Bong Jung-Keun in the role of an assassinator, a T-shirt where he is aiming to shoot baseball player Ichiro is proven to be popular.

The LG Baseball League which Bong Jung-Keun is registered sold the 330 limited T-shirt, and sold out after 10 hours, fervently sought after by the fans.”

…and there are more details later.

I know, I know, WBC is over. lol

It is always wise to consider the source before believing the news, for a lot of propaganda is going out there. As I wrote before, average Japanese citizen do not have hatred towards their neighbors.

If this is true, it is a bit of an ill taste for an official baseball league to sell a joke T-shirt of trying to kill their rivals.

Call me an idealist, but just like the trailer of “Planet of the Apes” went, “why can’t we all get along?” (and yes, I haven’t watched the actual movie).

Or maybe my sense of humor has been depleted, and cannot see the funny side of the shirt.

Eleven Students Try to Kill Their Teacher’s Baby

Seventh Graders in “Let’s Make the Teacher Have Miscarriage” Club

More itai (painfully embarrassing) news from Japan…. The word “itai”, which can mean “painfully embarrassing,” can apply to the existence itself, like the case below.

From http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/national/news/20090328-OYT1T00563.htm?from=main1

“On 28th, school officials in Aichi-perfecture found out that eleven seventh graders established the club to “make the teacher have miscarriage,” repeatedly playing nasty pranks to their female teacher, such as mixing foreign substances in her food. According to the school officials, the victim was their female teacher in her 30s, 5-6 months pregnant. The eleven students were unhappy with their seating changes, and being told off in school society.

Since the end of January, they have been been putting chalk powder to her car, and unscrewing the backrest of her chair to make her fall. On February , they’ve taken substances (alum) used in disinfecting from the science lab, and mixed within the teacher’s meat sauce. The female teacher who ate the food showed no damage to her health. Their actions came into light when one of their classmates became concerned and notified the authority after. The school called the students’ parents to and had a talk. The students reportedly showed remorse over their behaviors.”

Am I the only one that find this news article completely shocking???? Although the teacher herself is all right, having eleven kids in a school trying to kill your baby is a scary thought! And isn’t it the “intention” that really decides the weight of the crime? They are probably 12-13 year olds, but they shouldn’t get away with trying to kill a baby! They’ve simply been told off by the school. No expulsion? Jesus. It is scary to think that these kids will become adults themselves! Keep them in the school forever. Don’t let them out in the society.

Gamer Snaps at a Woman on a Packed Train -Painfully Embarrassing News-

From: http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/ann/news/web/index.html?now=20090325191552

“A 21 year old men playing game within the JR Saikyo-line train snapped and started beating a woman, breaking her jaw, after being told off. According to the police, on 25, around 8AM, he was told by a woman standing in front of him that “it is bothering others” whilst playing a hand-held video game. Annoyed, he started shouting words such as “shut up!” and started hitting her face. The woman was inflicted an injury which takes a month to heal. The suspect has been quoted saying that he was annoyed by being told off.”

Okay, we don’t know whether the lad was playing his game with the volume turned on or not. But this is plainly absurd. We’ve all witnessed people listening to their music loudly on mobile phone on trains/buses and wondered “do these people not have any manners?” It is sad to know that you can’t simply tell them to stop, for you might come across psychos like this guy. What a total loser. Hope he gets maximum sentence.

By the way, 8AM on a popular line means packed, very packed.
