Since God invented all the other good stuff.

Was reading through my google feeds when I saw this post by Sarcastic Gamer about how this mom was raving about the evilness of video games on her blog. Hey who knew, a parent on the internetz! With a blog nevertheless!

So, because I have nothing else better to do, I went and took a look at the woman’s blog and actually read the whole thing. It started off with:

We have the only house in our neighborhood with no video games.

Well that ought to tell you something.

My son has explained to me many times how this makes us freakish aliens from space.

No shit. Although Aliens from space are much cooler.

I truly believe that video games were created by Satan to turn otherwise normal children into his drooling, glassy-eyed stooges.

…

After my son plays them at his friends’ houses, he comes home irritable and testy for the rest of the day.

hmm…that sounds familiar..

Then the rest of the post, she talks about how she wants to be the “fun mom” who makes Popsicles and is liked by every kid etc. But apparently no one wants to go to their house because it’s boring. Well I wonder why…

Then she started to talk about how she read an article about a mom who called the cops on her kid cuz he’s been playing too much GTA. The rest of the blog is basically her attacking GTA and video games, after which she went on and talked about how she was an odd and geeky kid when she was in school but learnt a lot from her reading excessively (well ma’am, you make us geeks look bad) and that

If Sir Isaac Newton had been playing a DS, I’m sure he never would have noticed the apple falling from the tree, so he never would have formulated the theory of gravity.

First of all, being the smart guy that Isaac Newton is, he would probably be a PC gamer, and wouldn’t spend much time with a DS. Second of all, if the DS had been already invented back then, then we’ll be having hover cars right now and so screw gravity.

Since I’m probably being a biased ass, here’s the article so you can judge for yourself.

But honestly, people should stop blaming everything on video games. OHHH This guy killed someone! It’s cuz he’d been playing COD! OHHHH this other guy shot a cop!! It’s cuz he’s been playing GTA!! OHHH this kid shot himself cuz he’s being playing too much WoW!!

Dammit people, how about you guys start taking responsibility in the society instead of blaming everything on a bunch of codes and machines?

Oh a guy killed someone? Well I’m we all want to do what the video game characters do. I’ve always wanted to jump and knock my head into a brick so that maybe coins will come out of it.

A guy shot a cop? Maybe he just wants to loot his guns and stuff.

A kid shot himself? How about bad parenting as a cause? Did that idea ever come across you parents? HMM? Probably not, because you guys are probably too busy to even take a look at your kid and ask him how’s school and such every once in a while. You know, care a little, like how parents are supposed to? Maybe then he won’t let WoW fill up his empty life, and maybe then he won’t shoot himself because he has an awesome family?

Ok, I’m done. It’s just that video games are a big part of my life and my family. We would play the multiplayer games together, and we would watch each other play the single player games etc. It’s not a solitary activity, seriously. Especially now with online play and such.

Although maybe being a gamer makes me a “drooling, glassy-eyed stooge” so I’m oblivious to its evilness.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Texas is so adorable XD.

What happened was that was back in 2005, the amendment that was made to Texas legislature aimed to ban gay marriages, accidentally banned all marriages instead.

The amendment was pretty much well-received by the good people of Texas, and consisted of the following:

marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman

Which was okay, you know, it’s simple and clear. But the problem lies in the next clause:

This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage

What it meant was actually that you can’t have any other legal status like domestic partnership, social union etc to signify marriage. But what they neglected was to say “except marriage”, because now they’ve banned marriage itself.

The Young Turks on youtube put it pretty well:

I don’t know if I’m for or against gay marriages. Until marriages to fictional characters are legal, I shall remain neutral.

Because  children are the future. And that’s why the world’s ending so soon.

But the adults who made this are no better. C’mon! All that just to justify not allowing baggy pants?!

I have to check the authenticity of this video as a legit School Safety video, because I’m still hopeful that there are more sense left in the educators these days than the typical makers of horrible youtube videos.

Although, props to it for a good laugh. And for showing how having a shotgun down your pants is cool when girls do it.

(or affections PUN! hahahah..ok, that wasn’t very funny. BUT YOU LAUGHED DIDN’T YOU!)

So I was looking at the RSS feeds I subscribed to on my iGoogle page, and I saw the Straits Times Interaction section with the headlines:

The first thing that I thought of was: wth is STI? Then I tried to form acronyms with STI and realized that it can be Straits Time Interative. Then I read the headline again and decided that “teens” and “the name of a newspaper” cannot possibly be in the same sentence. So I clicked on the article to find out that STI is actually Sexually Transmitted Infections.Oh the joy of new discoveries!

Just kidding.

Anything that starts with an ST immediately makes me thing of aids. (Even STP, which means boring standard temperature and pressure. Maybe that’s why I failed Chemistry. Or was it Physics?) Anyhoo, the article says something about a heck load more of teenagers are getting herpes, warts and other sexual stuff that kill you. And this girl had 54 sexual partners. And the article assumed that she’s getting money for sex. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT SIR? Money is not the most important thing in the world you know. Love is. And we all Love Money.

But I digress. Since I don’t know what’s so new about this news, I decided to find out — why use STI? And not the much more commonly know STD? STD even sounds better. See, Estee Dee pwns Estee Eye. And they both pwn Estee Pee. But just to have some concrete support, I went to “The Keeper of All Knowledge” — Wikipedia. Funny how people are so smart to create Wikipedia and still can’t differentiate a butterfly from a horse.

Anyhoo, this is what it says:

Infection simply means that a germ — virus, bacteria, or parasite — that can cause disease or sickness is present inside a person’s body. An infected person does not necessarily have any symptoms or signs that the virus or bacteria is actually hurting his or her body; they do not necessarily feel sick. A disease means that the infection is actually causing the infected person to feel sick, or to notice something is wrong. For this reason, the term STI — which refers to infection with any germ that can cause an STD, even if the infected person has no symptoms — is a much broader term than STD.

So basically, if you have no symptoms — you have an STI! If you do show symptoms — you have an STD! Either ways you’re screwed. So don’t have sex, kids. Stay childish and pure. Like snow. Or snow flakes if you’re pretty. Icicles if you’re Chucky. Because icicles kill and so does Chucky.

…And read some Manga.

A Manga Library, how cool is that?!?!

Meiji University has officially announced on Thursday that it aims to establish the tentatively titled Tokyo International Manga Library in 2014. The university plans to house two million items of manga, anime, games, and other media in the proposed archive at its Surugadai campus in the central Tokyo ward of Chiyoda. The collection will include tie-in books, magazines, dojinshi, manga and anime artwork, cels, game software, game consoles, character goods, figures, and more…..In addition to an archive for preserving and researching items, the planners are exploring the prospects of including a museum and a theater.

From Anime News Network

2014 you say? Well if there’s one motivation to live past 2012, it’s this!

2,000,000 items of a geek’s fantasy housed in a five storey, 2.1 acres of awesomeness = more reason to move to Japan. I wonder when something like this will ever happen to Singapore. If the government can spend all that money on a pro-debt-suicide-inducing casino, why can’t we have a Manga Library? Heck, they’d even closed down the only library branch I know that holds a decent collection of Manga! Then again, the collection were rather obsolete. And the series they had were never complete anyways. Now that I think of it, the librarians weren’t very nice there either. Screw that, glad it’s closed.
