Here I sit, horrified and appalled, but not surprised at the ignorance, arrogance and down-right stupidity of certain assholes in the media.
Today's news coverage has consisted of report after report about one of Rupert the Braindead Dipshit's newspapers running a "comic" showing two white cops shooting a chimpanzee to death and making a reference to the recently passed stimulus bill. The "comic", in my opinion, was absolutely a vile attempt to insult and attack President Obama by playing into an old, racist stereotype of equating black people with apes.
Of course, the paper and the retard that authored the piece of shit claim that their was no racist overtone intended or unintended. I call bullshit on that one. No one is buying that crap and they are wasting their time trying to sell it.
The hateful ridiculousness of this thing is bad enough, but now because of this I am forced to agree with Al Sharpton! The horror! I often see Sharpton and Jesse Jackson as a couple of opportunist that often make a mountain out of a mole hill, but today I have to side with Big Al. He may be an opportunist, but Rupert and his dickheaded thugs handed this one to Sharpton on a silver platter. Al and his buddies are going to march right down to the offices of the Post tomorrow to raise some hell and I say "More Power to Them!" If I weren't on the West coast, I'd be out there freezing my black ass off with them. This is absolutely outrageous! I'm all for free speech, but this crossed a line for me.
I hope that all the negative publicity dwindles the already lean advertising dollars that the nasty rag is able to raise. I will be paying close attention to who is advertising with the Post and I will boycott any and all advertisers. I hope that this is the beginning of the end for Murdoch and that he'll someday soon pack up his dentures and Viagra and take his sorry ass back to Australia.
