Fools Gold: Inside the Glenn Beck Goldline Scheme — Infographic

August 3, 2010 in Politics with 1 Comment

Glenn Beck Pwned About a year ago I was working for a company that was ran by one of the biggest idiots that I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. I was promised a hefty wage as a web designer, and 3D artist. Sounds great, right? Well a month goes by of working for them and I was yet to see a real paycheck from this idiot as they have not had any customers for websites, nor were they even trying to pull any clients as they were trying to focus too much on the computer repair side of the business. Needles to say, I left the company, and to tis day I have not been compensated for my work, nor has anyone else working for this douche. I wasn’t about to be screwed out of anything more, and that included my sanity.

How was that making me go insane? Well, not only was I not paid, but I was forced to listen to Fox News radio ALL FUCKING DAY. This alone probably should of made me go crazy even if I was getting paid, but oddly enough I was able to survive. Not only was this bad, but during the commercials Glenn Beck had to come on telling us that we HAD TO BUY GOLD or else we’d lose everything as the value of the dollar is decreasing, and all the bull shit. I did what most sensible people do and just ignored it as best as possible.

Fast forward to August 3rd, 2010. I’ve been doing a lot of trolling in the past few hours on Sarah Palin’s Facbook page. In the process I came across Glenn Beck’s, and that led me to the following infographic that displays the true nature of this douche’s gold scheme. Observe:

Bill O’Rielly makes himself look like an ass in Iron Man 2

May 10, 2010 in Entertainment, notes, Politics with 0 Comments

I saw Iron Man 2 on opening night, and it was great. (Stay tuned for the full review.) It had great acting, awesome special effects, and was just overall enjoyable. During the movie you will also notice two interesting cameos, one of Oliva Munn playing the part of a reporter at the stark expo (plus a deleted scene where she is hitting on Tony Stark at his birthday party), and another memorable scene featuring a rather surprising character. Bill O’rielly.

Yep, Bill O’Riely, portraying himself, makes a small cameo in a scene where he bashes Tony Stark for fucking up as a super hero, and for putting Potts in charge of his company.

As funny, and surprising as this scene is, it makes me wonder if Bill O’Rielly is a mere character/alter ego of himself who is paid by Fox News to act the way he does much like Stephen Colbert is by Comedy Central. Why else would he agree to make himself look like even more of an ass, and be his typical self on the big screen? It’s just kinda weird that he would agree to be the news reporting bad guy in a movie just as he is in real life (whether he realizes it or not).

As you may have realized, I’m not a fan of Fox News, nor a fan of Bill O’Rielly (or at least his character), so the best part about this is that when Tony walks into the room where Pepper was watching the tube, Stark says “Mute.” Hilarious, because Bill doesn’t ever shut up.

Know your rights — Fair Use

You’ve seen videos like these, right? Hitler reacts to “insert popular topic here” A scene from the German movie, Downfall which depicts the final days of Nazi Germany, and Hitler’s death. It’s a popular meme on YouTube, and many other video sharing sites but, unfortunately, this meme has been subject to numerous take-down notices on YouTube directly from the films producers. What’s wrong with them doing this though, it’s their work, isn’t it? Yes, it is true that they have the rights to the scene, but what they’re doing goes against your right to free speech under fair use.

I don’t like to get political, but let me just say, he finally did it. Obama has finally gotten some of that change we were promised pulled out of his pockets. It took a lot of work, and overcoming false accusations, but the first step in in fixing this country has been made.
