Aleph Ersatz

Assemblage 23 - 30KFT

An amazing a beautifuly tragic song. Runs along the lines of Roger Water’s When the Tigers Broke Free and Four Minutes, from The Wall and Radio KAOS respectively. Damn, if those two were able to collaborate, I’d swear they could create the greatest cross-genre operatic musical tragedy in existence.

Behind the more is an attempted SeeqPod embeded link to the song. Lemme know if it works.

This beauty is parked down the street from my house, and has been for a week!

Now, before I get started, I must point out that I am not a boat jumper, and have been touting the Boycott Beijing idea since 2006.

I cannot honestly see what good the Olympics are doing anymore.  The movement has gone from good will and unification, to greed and corprorate whoring.  And worst of all, they cater to the direct market of any country with deep enough pockets.  Having 1.3 billion democratically opressed people helps make China not only a perfect candidate, but one of the front runners for super-power supremecy in the next few decades.

China has one of the worst human rights records for a first-world nation, enforced censorship, and has bronek all it’s promises for unrestricted media access to the games and an improvement of rights by the start of the games.  Yet, being as they have the US on an enconomic dog leash, who’s gonna stop them?

When I first heard that China was getting the games, back when they announced their mascots, my immediate though was this was the worst choice since the 1936 Berlin Olympics.  But, hey, history can’t repeat itself, right?

With all of this, I will be glad when the fucking thing is done and China can go back to quietly opressing its people while the world looks elsewhere for a better distraction.  Like, maybe the 2010 Olympics?  No, wait, those are being held here, and have almost as much advertising as the damn Beijing games!

Why can’t it just go away?

For those who don’t know, the Westboro Baptist Church is trying to protest at the funeral of Tim McLean, the unfortunate victim of the Greyhound slaying last week. These fucks think that somehow one mans insanity and random brutla murder is “God’s punishment” for Canadians being a “fag nation”…

I cannot beleive these assholes. They want to slap everyone in the face with their attention raising, oportunistic manipulation of McLean’s death and turn it into a farce just so they can get some attention. I know that PETA just did this, but the WBO morons have taken the cake.

But here’s the fun points.

First, Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. (Exodus 20:7). I guess these religious fuck nuts can’t read very well. While I know the bible does make some mention of God striking down homosexuals in the Book of Job, I’m pretty sure God wasn’t just “hating” the “fags”. Also, God punished the whole town, not just one or two random people. So as far as God punishing homosexual “enablers”, I’m pretty sure by their own Bible’s standards that all of Canada would be burned down by God if He was that inclined to punish us. (Enablers? Since when was Homosexuality a drug? That’s like saying child counselors are Autism enablers.)

Second, besides shameless and unflattering publicity, why are they botehring? Sure, bad publicity gets the best coverage, as well all know, but it’s not going to get anything for their cause. Our Bible belt is in Alberta, Manitoba is a little to the right asshats. Get a map, a real map that shows all of Canada. Ignorant hicks.

On the plus side, I am surprised, but pleasantly pleased that the Canadian government is actually trying to stop these religious fucknuts. Amazing considdering they won’t help Omar Khadr, and left Brenda Martin to rot in Mexico, I’m surprised they would let themselves stand up to Christian American whackjobs.

Too bad the WBC is just a small group of inbred hicks, but hey, good to know Stockwell Day has some balls after all…even if they are there just for show.

Despite having probably the worst name ever, Fab 5 Soccer got released a couple of months ago. This is my 3rd DS game and is one of the better ones.

Despite the ass-tacular reviews from IGN readers, it actually is a pretty fun game. It’s aimed for simple, arcade pick-up-and-play games, not overcomplicated realistic soccer matches.  And why my opinion is highly baised, it’s still worth looking at for anyone who likes arcade style games and sports games.

I got a little behind with this announcement, but another, even better project of mine is slated for realease in a couple of months!  I’ll have more details closer to the release date.
