Twitter's Outcry over 'Alejandra Jonas'

Earlier today (March 2nd, 2010), a trend titled '#RIPAlejandraJonas' popped up on the top trend chart for Twitter. After a bit of investigation, Twitter users found the girls alleged Twitter and Formspring page. Wouldn't you know it though, as soon as that happens, Twitter is suddenly buzzing about the Formspring page being a fake. I don't know if you people have noticed, but over 800 people are dead in Chile and thousands more are missing from the coastal regions. To focus on this one girl, as sad as her alleged death is, is inappropriate and horrible for the sheer destruction brought on by this tragedy. Both fan camps for Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers need to stop doing this. If anything, stop proliferating this in the name of a musical group. It demeans the actual tragedy, and has no place in its discussion. I'm sure the family and friends of the other victims would be upset if everyone paid attention to this one girl because she clung to a poster, then the girl who died with her family.

Remember Chile. Appropriately.

Taylor Swift and Kanye West



ON A SIDE NOTE: MTV's Parent Company Viacom are now responsible for the same level of douchebaggery that Kanye West is responsible for. Within 20 minutes, a few videos that popped up on YouTube of the incident last night were at 500,000+ views and were ripped off the site within 20 minutes of being posted. Apparently MTV wants everything out there to be from their site, which is just stupid. It's their content, but this is the Internet people!

Alright, among all the political bullshit that's going on in this country, I'm happy some other douche bag decided to take the spotlight off D.C. for a little bit. This is rediculous. Kanye: You, for a long time have been a complete and total retard. In my opinion, you built your career off the coat tails and names of other bigger musicians. You had one or two maybe three hits (if you can even call them hits) and I haven't heard from you since. You can bet I would, I live in South Carolina for God's sake. You'd hear about it in spades if you'd have a hit. But I haven't and you don't. For the record, I think you should be boo'd off of every stage you take starting now and until the foreseeable future. You deserve to have your career ruined over this and the way you walked off the stage with that unwarranted swagger was rediculous. Enjoy the final moments of your career, jack ass.

Prolonging The Agony

First post. Let's make this interesting shall we? Again, like everything I write, doubtful anything I write will ever be read. But I guess I just a matter of pushing it out there. This country is going in the toilet and everyone knows it. I can't believe that the country allows these people in the Republican Party to spit lies, unabated even. This goes past Freedom of Speech. Trust me though, I'm a writer. I love my right to speak and write as much as anyone, but their comes a point when someone's opinion does nothing to help the process of civil discourse and only hinders rational discussion. For instance, this hyper fixation on Death Panels within the Health Reform debate is rediculous. There comes a time when the stations need to stop letting these people take up their air time. There can be no benefit to just giving them air time for ratings. Yes, I must admit that I like to see someone shove their political or other affiliated career down the toilet when they bring the 'Death Panel' topic up. It's entertaining. But after five minutes of this crap, I don't want to hear about it anymore. Lately, it's just on and on about battling politicians. I swear it's all you ever hear about on TV anymore. Unless you switch to one of the non-news based channels like TNT and USA and then to your horror, up comes a commercial from people like Conservatives for Patient's Rights. I'm about at the point where I want to draw up a nice bullseye, tape it to my TV Screen and drive a sledge hammer into it with everything I've got. Oh wait, don't even me started on this rediculous mental ward escapee here:



Ok, so what the fuck do these people think happened all throughout the general elections in November?! Or even the primaries? Do these people think there's some conspiracy in the government....oh wait, yes they do:




My question is do you people not think they had people doing official fact checking throughout the campaigns? Do you not think that this was handled prior to his election and his confirmation as President of the United States? This 'birther' conspiracy theory was most likely thought up by some guy in his basement while playing World of Warcraft and jerking off to Bill O'Reily speak, anyway. Ugh.
