Children See, Children Do

In most other countries, they don’t pander to political correctness quite the way we do here. Here is a perfect example of that: This video was produced by the National Association for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect in Australia. It’s shocking, it’s unnerving. And, it’s accurate.

Sony keeps digging lower and lower

April 29th, 2007 | No Comments

Not quite a year ago I did a piece on what I thought was one of the most crass advertising campaigns I had ever seen. Well, they’ve done it again. Sony used a freshly slaughtered goat to promote the company’s new violent video game for its PlayStation 2 console, the Daily Mail reported. The dead [...]

Girls making out is the new black?

February 2nd, 2007 | No Comments

That’s the teaser for this pic on Colleghumor: Girls making out is the new black. (from CollegeHumor) It seems every generation wants to shock the previous generation by doing things they THINK their parents never did.  My generation did it mainly by having guys primping like a girl, and girls appearing to be plastic replicas [...]

Why We Fight

January 29th, 2007 | No Comments

Was browsing posts over at Dean Esmay‘s and he made a real fun post.  What he did was agree to watch a "documentary".  Now, Dean is kind of like an intelligent conservative.  "Why We Fight" is kind of like ultra-liberal propoganda.  It’s one of those things you just have to ignore facts and nod your [...]

Discount mats

I heard about this one floating around the internet a couple of days ago. I figured it was just another one of those bogus over-the-top emails. I was apparently wrong: “Do you ship to APO (military) addresses? I’m in the 1st Cavalry Division stationed in Iraq and we are trying to order some mats but [...]

Landmine Soccer

The United Nations has released this advertisement for US consumption: I really don’t want my kid seeing this advertisement.  You think he’d want to play soccer if he saw it?  Once again, the United Nations is proving how useless they truly have become.  This is just stupid. QuestionsView Results

Islamophobia on display

December 21st, 2006 | 9 Comments

I’m fairly shocked by this one.  Congressman Virgil Goode wrote this letter to his constituents: Thank you for your recent communication. When I raise my hand to take the oath on Swearing In Day, I will have the Bible in my other hand. I do not subscribe to using the Koran in any way. The [...]

The Wisdom of Sir Elton

November 30th, 2006 | 11 Comments

Found this exchange via my buddies at Independent Sources: Hello Rocky,What do you think of Elton John’s desire to ban all religions?Tiffany SwisherJacksonville, FL Rocky Responds:As a rule, Tiffany, I don’t worry about anything coming out of Elton John’s mouth that isn’t written by Bernie Taupin. That was funny, but there’s more to the story [...]

The Marriage Debate gets a little deeper

July 31st, 2006 | No Comments

A lot of print has gone into the debate over what exactly "marriage" is. Namely, some homosexuals have been fighting desperately for the honor of being called Mr. and Mr. or Mrs. and Mrs. so-and-so. Along with this debate, part of the counter-argument has been that if we open the door to gays getting married, [...]

Keith Olbermann bottoms out

July 24th, 2006 | No Comments

This weekend Keith Olbermann, who OBVIOUSLY hates Bill O’Reilly, went a little too far in his zeal to trash O"Reilly: Of course, the usual suspects trashed it.  However, what tells me that Keith went too far is this bit: "Hell, if you’re lazy, you can even just don an O’Reilly mask and do a stupid [...]
