Aight, I got this (in response to the previous post)
This was originally a comment, but I'm in such a snit, I want it on the front page ;) oh and btw your comment font is black....we need to talk color schemes ;)
#1 - rape as a superlative:
Many people find rape to be the highest possible pitch of evil. and in a way, I can get that - you yourself have used that idea. The idea of pain, violation, physical and mental degradation can and does color entire lives, entire communities. Get shot and sometimes you're a martyr. Get raped and you're subjected to the meta-violation of everyone weighing in on the act, what you did, what you did not do, etc. and if it's rape as, say, an act of war, then you get another layer of that shit by being the proxy for your entire race or nation that someone else wants to degrade.
Rape is often percieved as a theft of sorts - of the woman's dignity, or of her purity, or (at what I think is the worst) her family's (father's) reputation. Hence the rhetorical equation.
That being said, "rape" as a superlative is getting played out. It's phonetically arresting, and no doubt mildly titillating for some (ugh), and is suddenly ok to say because of all the hard work (many) feminists and other human rights supporters have done in dragging it out of the shadows (that last one is quite right in my book). But using it blindly like this is sophomoric and rhetorically empty. And its insulting to hear it drop out of those mouths.
#2 - rape as xenophobia/fear of the big, black (or brown) cock:
And I have another point - the connection of "rape" and its connotations with Obama and all the scary illegal immigrants. Jesus, why don't they just put "Birth of a Nation" on in the background or something?! Why don't they just sit there screaming "big throbbing non-caucasian penis!" It'd be more dignified.
Putting these ideas in conjunciton with each other is potty humor. joke about something you fear. Like a black man in power....like brown people moving into your nice little gated community...like having to look at the types of the people you ignore and acknowledge their humanity.
Instead of dealing with this, and trying to come up with sensible ways to approach illegal immigration, or mature ways to disagree with the president, they have to do this snickering Beavis-and-Butthead routine, or xenophobic alarmism (at the "violation" of such a "white" country as American...oh my stars).
Some others have opined that this is grounds for latent lust, in which case I say just admit you wanna tap that, grab a few rubbers and hit up a club or at least rent an interracial porno, calm the hell down, and then rejoin the discourse.

Blasphemy: Pop Fiction better than the Bible.
The Bible may be "THE" good book but having read it i'm quite disapointed. With all the hype over the best selling book ever I would have expected something greater. Really this is the book that changes so many lives? So many people claim to be touched by this? I'm compiling a list of reasons why media that is not the bible is superior.
1) it either has one author or is in a short amount time wise that the collaborators get a sense of consistency, rather than the anthology of books the bible does a half ass job editing into a 'narrative'
2) it's claims philosophically/ethically are closer to our time and thus are more relevant
3) they may have robots, pirates, and/or better sex scenes.
4) Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Sammuel Motherfucker L Jackson, Sean Conory and Patrick Stewart, and other greats show up very few times in the bible. In a book that claims to record the works of prophets this is a very drastic oversight
5) Editing (note: does not apply to Twilight series)
6)Save for Tolkien most lack long chapters of nothing but boring genealogies
7) For books, better cover art.
Any one else able to think of any?

Compelling Spam-samples
check out these two subject lines from today's inbox:
"muse for night deeds"
Ok, this one makes a little sense....."night deeds" nudge, wink. But a "muse" for them? Well, that's just poetic! "Geoffrey, Lord of Manlyshire, sighed deeply....where, in this fresh, verdant countryside full of pert, buxom lasses, could he find the one of hsi dreams, hsi destined lover, the muse for his night deeds...?"
"I know it was probably nothing more than a footman carrying a lantern across the lawn"
What the hell, is Jane Austen sending me spam?

Guest poster Spider Jerusalem on Maine gay vote
Yahoo News: Maine Supports People's Right to Impose Their Will on Others.
Mr. Jerusalem do you have anything to say to the voters?
Nice to fucking know we can all gather together and get something done when it comes to hurting other people. God forbid we actually use all that energy to do anything constructive! No, no no no no, keeping our undesirables, our peasents down, that's important; education, health and security rightfully takes a back seat. Christian love is all about being a total cock to everyone who is different and fellating your sense of righteousness. Well, our society is safe now that the gays can't marry. Lord knows that they're happiness would utterly destroy the straight family and cause, I don't know, air born AIDS? The important thing is that everyone conform to a select elite religions morality. That's what freedom is right? Everyone's free to listen to follow the Bible Thumpers morality however they wish!
God damn we are morons. We deserve our crappy country.

Halloween was Great, we all got SPAM!
What's up?
How about repeating Halloween?
I mean it come on over!
Spam Crit!
Ok, my spam today does not reach the surreal heights yours did, baby, but I have some interesting commentary.
1- Stanislaus Tolbert - WIN! We have a win! That name is awesome. The subject line is run of the mill tho. I've oft been entreated to make my throbbing man-stick more g-spot user friendly. And the "herbal solution"? Yawn.
2 - hey groa - I love me too :)
3 - Pyjfeel - you, sir/madam/bot, have made my day. There's rythym, there's imagery, there's some avant-garde word experimentation. Brava, person or program...brava.
The remaining two were just too boring to mention, so they're crossed out.
