I Got Your Teabags Right Here

Hey, kids!

So a bunch of assholes around this country are completely numb-fuck-nuts and throwing "tea parties" in protest of President Obama's stimulus package, where they throw tea bags into various bodies of water.  Fox News has pretty much sponsored this too, which is all the more infuriating.  The idea that Sean Hannity, John Gibson, and Glen Beck (all known douchebags) have this much power is absurd.  This is especially true when you consider the fact that the "tea parties" that they're throwing have nothing to do with the original, nor the spirit of that event.

Let's hop in the wayback machine for a second.  The original Boston Tea Party was held in protest of taxation without representation.  Barack Obama was democratically elected.  Remember that?  And his stimulus package (hehe... stimulus package) is being voted on by elected representatives of the public.  So these bumblefucks are represented.  Write your congressman if have a beef.  And tea.  What about the tea?!  Back in the 1700s, tea was a luxury.  Today, what's it cost?  Two bits?  I honestly don't know, but I don't think that Barack Obama is losing any sleep over lost tea.  Dump a few tons of Marlboros in a river and he might care (he smokes).  And finally, in the original act, the protestors stole the tea while disguised as Native Americans.  I haven't seen anybody dressed up.  Well, unless you count the redneck costumes.  And are they stealing the tea?  Hell no.  Goddamn, I wish I'd have bought stock in tea last week.  Fuck, I'd be rollin'!

I'm just uber pissed that when Bush spent trillions, it was patriotic, AND conservative!  But when Obama does it, it's totalitarian socialism.  And that makes Glen Beck cry.  Fuck that twat.

On another note: You seen the ads for freetriplescore.com?  I fucking hate them.  First off, they have "normal folks" trying to say the website name 3 times fast, which I can totally see right through as being market research bullshit about repeating the product name so people remember it.  But what's worse is they say the domain name 80 billion times in 30 seconds, but the actual web address, as listed on the screen, isn't actually freetriplescore.com.  It's freetriplescore8.com.  Were 1-7 taken.  It's annoying and stupid.  Don't trust it.

Also, I see this a lot with other commercials where they have a person talking about something, they finish, there's a pause, and then they cut to footage of the person laughing.  Maybe this is too "shop-talkie" for non-film nerds but it's clearly another part of this weird trend of showing you something and then (or sometimes simultaneously) showing something from behind the scenes.  Like when you see a person talking and they cut to a side camera angle while the person's still talking.  It's completely unmotivated.  The laughter is the same.  It bothers me.  If it's just me, well, I'm used to that.

That's all for now, kids.  Rock on, or get fucked.  :-P   Pbbbbbbth!!!
