All the news that's unfit to print

hiddenmuseor something like that.
Everyone's been talking about "Paris Hilton this, Paris Hilton that..." but there's more to the news than the incredible sense of schadenfreude that came from watching that whiny, sniveling brat be carried off to the hoosegow. But, damn - if that wasn't one of the more interesting trainwrecks!
Oh no ... my attention turns to this: Your vajayjay is NOT a clown car. Yep, guess who's expecting rugrat #15054503 ... ermmm, #17? Yes - it's the Duggar family. You'd think that after #6, they'd figure out what caused it. But, apparently not. 17 frackin' children. What the hell?!?
Some of the more memorable quotes from this Fox News (*shudders violently*) are from theNeverending Baby Machine mom herself:
"I've never been a mom of a 19-year-old young man and a 17-year-old young man and woman, so every phase of parenting is an exciting adventure" Duggar said.
Really now? Never woulda thunk it, lady.
Because the couple sees each child as a blessing from God, Michelle Duggar said they will, as long as she is able, accept each child they are given.
"Really, our heart is we would love to receive whatever gifts or blessings the Lord wants to give us," she said. "But I love the baby stage and I can't imagine life without having a toddler in the house."
You can't imagine life without a toddler in the house? How about waiting for the grandkids?
I read about this one in TIME Magazine:
According to the conservative blog Illinois Review - Shrek 3 is Promoting a Homosexual Agenda
Ah yes, here we go again. The über-right wing seeing sex in every damn thing known to man. Lock up The ChildrenTM immediately! Yes, of course Doris, the ugly stepsister is a total tranny. Right now, I'm just disappointed in myself for not even noticing it! I guess I just saw the big, butchy woman with a deep voice and thought - "that's kinda funny, and you know, Larry King did a good job as Doris." Never, ever did I think "oh my G*d - The ChildrenTM will see this, and be scarred for life!"
But, I loved that so many of the commentators were saying, "get a grip, lady" to the blogger. As well as pointing out instances of cross-dressing/transvestism in movies. Who among us watched Bugs Bunny outwit Elmer Fudd by dressing as a woman - and wound up scarred for life, or had a yen to dress in drag constantly? (You RHPS fans are excluded) And for those who are old enough - remember Tom Hanks in the TV show Bosom Buddies? He was in drag - and no one around me freaked out. It was just funny to see him in those horrendous dresses and wig.
When did the fucking tables turn? Why do (mainly conservative) people tend to sexualize everything? For serious, none of my friends (straight, queer and otherwise) see sex in things as much as those people! Hell, I'm supposed to be out there foisting my agenda onto people, if you believe them.
Seriously, the only things on my agenda are: 1) Do well by others. 2) Buy Saltines and Pepsi at the grocery store. 3) Make people smile, laugh and think. Dammit, I'm failing here! No vacation or steak knives for me!
So, that's the news that's unfit to print - but still printed. :-)

Date: 2007-06-10 01:09 am (UTC)It is not natural to have that many kids.
Plus, the kids are not socially adjusted in my opinion. They are typical home schooled weirdos. Sure, they have each other, but outside of their family in "normal life", they are completely weird. The girls all have bad hair like their mother (who is STILL rocking the femullet) and the boys all have wierd side parted politician hair like their dad and they all wear red shirts wherever they go and the girls wear Little House on the Prairie dresses, and, and... argh!!
Sorry. I just don't get it. I'll calm down in a minute. ;)

Date: 2007-06-10 02:59 am (UTC)That femullet is scary - and coupled with county fair hair. They look like a bunch that just stepped off the compound of a Fundamentalist LDS family or something.
They're just scary all around.
I don't get steak knives either, damnit
Date: 2007-06-10 01:28 am (UTC)And your journal is very educational. I'd never heard of the Duggar family until right now. I don't watch TV, though, so that could explain it.
I can't get over the fact that the dad is actually named Jim Bob. I didn't know people named Jim Bob existed outside of satire.
I love that people are freaking out about things like Spongebob and that penguin movie and Shrek. It just shows what complete and total idiots they are. Shrek? Really? Because in some of his movies, Eddie Murphy dresses up like a woman, too and...you know what? Never mind. Eddie Murphy's a bad example since he got caught with that tranny hooker a few years back.
But Milton Berle! Flip Wilson! Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis!
If Milton Berle in a dress made anybody gay, well...they've got very odd taste.
I think most of the people freaking out about these things are actually very, very repressed and ashamed of their own sexuality (whatever it may be) and therefore can't help but see sex everywhere. Because if you try to never think about something, you're just going to end up obsessing over it instead.
Re: I don't get steak knives either, damnit
Date: 2007-06-10 03:05 am (UTC)I know, the people freaking out over "Happy Feet", "Shrek" and any other film are just sad and have no lives. Because small children are watching those movies and going "yes! I wanna be gay/a transvestite when I grow up!" Uhhh, nope.
And if anyone was "made gay" by watching Milton Berle or Flip Wilson in drag - then, that's a scary proposition.
Now, I'm just waiting for the right-wingers to start whining about Elton John being a flaming faggot and being a bad influence and how he should never do the Disney songs ever again!

And I'm not taking his name in vain, I'm actually calling on him to kick the Duggars in the head and knock some sense into them. Just because you can pop out a hundred babies doesn't mean God wants you to. You can go stab hobos in the neck, too, doesn't mean it's God's will you complete and total freaks of nature.
Also, how healthy is it to grow up in a family of 20? I was the middle child of three and I felt like I got neglected a lot--I can't imagine having eight older siblings and eight younger siblings and trying to get half an hour of mom and dad to myself. Those kids are going to have serious mental health issues, you mark my words.
Also, you have 17 kids and at least one of those boys is going to grow up to suck cock. Just saying. Law of averages and the Duggars had better get ready for the coming out party. My money's on the little blond one who already looks ashamed of his bad haircut.

Date: 2007-06-10 03:16 am (UTC)Having grown up Mormon, I saw a lot of families with 6+ kids, and so many of those families had kids that rebelled in one way or another. I think a lot of it was their way of saying "notice me, dammit!!" And the homeschooled kids that didn't get to interact with non-homeschooled kids? I'm surprised that there weren't some "Girls Gone Wild" casualities - just the "run of the mill" stuff: crazy hair colors, body piercings, etc.
I'm looking forward to the day that they have one (or more) of the kids come out of the closet, cut their hair and/or get knocked up - or get someone knocked up. Let's see how they deal with *that*!

Date: 2007-06-10 03:12 am (UTC)I also doubt that any of the 17 children will want to procreate. I wouldn't.
Also: did you know they have a web site?

Date: 2007-06-10 03:21 am (UTC)Oh lordy - there's no way in hell that I'd want to have kids if I grew up in a family *that* big! And I do think that I saw the website once ... and I almost ran off screaming afterwards!
