Quick Update

If you read the story about the young girl and her racist piece of shit parents, and you feel like you're too happy today and maybe want to take it down a notch, here's an update and more info.

Now that you're pissed off, to brighten the mood watch this awesome two year old play pool like a boss! But make sure you turn down your speakers because a Creed song accompanies this video.

It's official. The high court in California decided to uphold Prop 8, the denial of access to marriage for homosexuals. The state thinks this is OK because homosexual couples are able to benefit from the same rights at hetero couples, just without the title. Those married before November get to keep their title. The moral of this story: Don't elect Austrian beef-cake action heroes as your governor. Thanks for the tip Rach!

Seal hearts, seal hearts, eat them up, yum!

As you may or may not have heard, Governor General Michelle Jean took a trip to sunny Nunavut to indulge in some delicious seal heart with the natives as a sign of solidarity and support for their ancient cultural practices. Good for her. I support our First Nations in maintaining their culture, you know, considering all the shit white people have put them through for the last 500 years or so.
HOWEVER, as usual, PETA has their panties in a bunch over this. Dan Matthews of PETA thinks Jean is indulging in "bloodlust," and all I can think of is Jean salivating, knife and fork in hand while maniacally staring at the plate of seal heart in front of her, while her panties are wet. Matthews went on to say that "it sounds like she's trying to give Canadians an even more Neanderthal image around the world than they already have." Honestly, Daniel, that's just stupid of you. It sounds like he's trying to give PETA an even more extremist image than they already have. Yet, Matthews goes on to say that himself and PETA are only interested in the commercial hunt of seals and that he acknowledges the cultural significance of the native seal hunt. That I can agree with, even though he's being an idiotic hypocrite.
The article I got this information from is written with an obvious intent to discredit PETA, and since I always agree with the Toronto Star, I may be biased. So tell me what you think of all this and leave me a comment.
