Al T.V.

I've been following with interest, and more than a little confusion, the story of Current Television, the network by Al Gore that is debuting tomorrow. Below the fold is a lengthy analysis on what I think this network's main accomplishment in this new, and possibly exciting format of "citizen television" is going to be... more...

Brits Ban Hunks in Beer Ads

Somebody, please actuate the nanny-state overload alarm. Alcohol ads may no longer feature sexy guys because it makes a connection between drinking and seduction. It's considered to be the cause of binge drinking.

From Timesonline:

Drinks companies have been ordered to hire paunchy, balding men for advertisements to meet new rules forbidding any link between women’s drinking and sex. Watchdogs have issued a list of undesirable male characteristics that advertisers must abide by in order to comply with tougher rules designed to separate alcohol from sexual success.
Did you catch that last phrase? "Separate alcohol from sexual success" Come on! Who's kidding who? Haven't these folks ever been to a honky-tonk? A cocktail has always been known to be a drink representing the combining of cock and tail. That's sexual success!

But there's more. The British Committee of Advertising Practice ruled:

"We would advise that the man in the picture should be unattractive -- overweight, middle-aged, balding etc."
I'm not sure what the 'etc' means, but it sure seems that the Brits are edging towards a prohibition on advertising alcoholic drinks.

Oh, Let's Have Some Fun

The story about Bin Laden attempting to poison cocaine is just dying for a contest. A headline/post title contest.

Here's an example: "That Snow Jihad." (groan)

The winner will have the satisfaction of knowing that he/she made thousands of people spew drinks on screens, hit their head from falling off the chair, or even peeing their pants.

Forgive Me Blogfather For I Know Not What I Do

I was going to respond to Rob's response to Rusty's response, but that was before I went below the fold on Rusty's post. He addressed the same things I was going to there.

So, instead, and just for the sake of argument, I'll answer Rusty's challenge to come up with a logical reason not to retaliate against Mecca in the event of a nuclear attack on the U.S. Mind you, I have no problem with it.

The Nuke Mecca, Kiss Israel Goodbye Scenario:

Al-Qaeda, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, lights off a smuggled nuke or two in a major American city.

We nuke Mecca.

Pakistan nukes Israel. Out of existence. Would India care if the missiles were headed the opposite way?

Oh, I forgot, Pakistan is our ally. How much of an ally would they be if Mecca were a smoldering crater?

The Nuke Mecca, Kiss Israel, Iraq, and Afghanistan Goodbye Theory

Pretty much the same as above, except replace Pakistan with Iran. Let's face something here. We think we know how far along Iran is with their nuke program, but we sure as hell don't really know for sure. What we do know for sure is that they don't have missiles capable of reaching the U.S. yet, but they can damn sure put a hurting on our military, and wipe out Israel, with the ones they have. And I doubt they'd care, with Mecca gone, about their fellow Muslims in Baghdad and Kabul getting vaporized along with America's finest. Hell, they're sending them in now to kill their fellow Muslims.

The Why Nuke Anyway? Theory

If the U.S. is the recipient of a nuclear terrorist attack, it would be fairly pointless to nuke Mecca. The heart of Mecca is a rock. One that a couple of 2,000 lb. conventional bunker busters would vaporize with no problem.

But I would advocate unleashing nuclear Hell on the Tehran and Damascus.

Finally, I will seriously take issue with Rusty's use of the term MAD:

Everyone is approaching this as a tit for tat. They nuke this, we nuke that.

No, that's not what MAD is. Mutual Assured Destruction is just that. While Islamofascist scum may get off a nuke in one, two, or even ten American cities, they don't have anything even remotely resembling the nuclear power of the Soviet Union.

So the word "mutual" doesn't even apply here. The term should be IHOP. Islam's Holiest Obliterated Permanently.

I personally think that we should threaten to lay waste to it all. If even one American city suffers a nuclear attack, we waste Mecca, Medina, Qom, we hit Najaf (only because we worked so hard there) and the Al-Aqsa Mosque (nuking that would hurt Israel) with conventional weapons. And the aforementioned capitals.

Oh, and we nuke France too.

Yes I thought of that. First we pretend to cut and run, pulling our troops out of every single Islamic nation beforehand.

Wait...we need a place for the pulled out troops to go. So we don't nuke France, we invade France, and liberate it for the third time!

A New Convert To Islam?

***UPDATED***

After staying plugged into the news coming out of London so far, and especially after reading Richard's post about the splodeydope's weapon of choice, I think I have a clear picture of who is the mastermind behind today's isolated incident.



UPDATED WITH EXTREMELY SENSITIVE ANONOMOUSLY SOURCED INFORMATION.

The British Gov't has identified the above as one Abu Saheed Spesh al-Ed. They have also released a recorded cell phone conversation between him and one of the perpetrators of today's isolated incident:

Perp: Hello?
Spesh al-Ed: Do you have TATP?
Perp: Yes, we do.
Spesh al-Ed: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I like TATP!
Perp:
Spesh al-Ed: Hey lady,
Perp: I am not a la
Spesh al-Ed: Do you have TATP?
Perp: I tell you this, we do.
Spesh al-Ed: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I like TATP!
Spesh al-Ed: Hey lady
Perp: Sheik al-Ed! I am not a lady, you know this!
Spesh al-Ed: Do you have Semtex?
Perp: NO! We have the TATP! I tell you this already!
Spesh al-Ed: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I hate Semtex!
Perp: Goodbye Sheik
Spesh al-Ed: Lady? YAAAAAAAAAY! He's going to die for Allah! YAAAAAAAAY! I like dying for Allah!

Jawa Report on Air America

The Air America listener just told me I was mentioned on The Majority Report with Janeane Garofalo.....

I guess I can now retire. I've finally made it.

If the other Air America listener heard the mention, could you drop me a line and let me know what was said. I'm hoping the word prick was somewhere in the sentence.

UPDATE: I can honestly say that getting a mention on Air America gets you just as many hits as a mention on CNN. NONE.

All your BORFs are belongs to us

When I was in D.C. for Jawapalooza East I kept seeing this BORF tag everywhere. So I says to Leopold Stotch, "Who's BORF."

"Dude, you are so out of if."

I guess I'm not cool. Anyway, uber-tagger BORF is about to get sent to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison. I don't think they have conjugal visits where BORF is going..... more...

Tom Cruise Not Welcome in Paris

(Paris) If you're a communist, socialist, anarchist, or jihadist, you'll likely not be hassled in France. Unfortunately, Tom Cruise picked the wrong "ist."

From The Australian:

THE Paris city hall has pledged not to make US actor Tom Cruise an honorary citizen - because of his membership of the Church of Scientology.

In a debate late yesterday, the Socialist-controlled municipal assembly approved a resolution "never to welcome the actor Tom Cruise, spokesman for Scientology and self-declared militant for this organisation."

The French, along with many other European countries, have deemed that Scientology is a dangerous cult and Cruise is considered a "sect-symbol" for the cult.

My take is that one doesn't have to be European to suspect that Scientology is a cult. Just take a close look at Tom Cruise's eyes while he's being interviewed.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's 4th of July Message

Iowahawk has the exclusive.

If nothing else, the Fourth of July should prompt all Americans, whether they are an infidel fornicating whore-woman in a Miami strip club or a fresh-faced enlistee in a secret Prague martyr cell, to reflect on the true meaning of ‘patriotism.’ To me, patriotism is not some empty flag-waving gesture, or spouting jingoistic slogans. To me, dissent is the real patriotism. And what could be more patriotic than the ultimate in dissent – bloody jihad against the kufr and their heretic puppets in Baghdad?
