Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words I cannot handle.


I am so sick and tired of people's hyper-sensitivity. If I hear another person crying about how offended they are by the words of a comic, actor or radio personality I'm going to crap in my hand and throw it at them like a damn chimp.

We, as a nation, have always bragged about our freedom of speechgiving ourselves a (false?) sense of superiority over everyone else. So why is it that people in the public eye are continually losing their jobs because of something they said? I have a strong feeling that these same communities that picket corporations demanding the termination of public figures who've said something deemed "offensive" would die before letting someone do that same thing to them. They would spend day and night defending the same freedom of speech that they ignore in others.

Take Don Imus for example. Here's a man (whom I've always disliked) that makes a living as a "shock jock" on the radio. He's made a great living at being an asshole and saying offensive things on the radio. He jokingly referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos". Now we have the Opportunist, I mean "Reverend" Al Sharpton, the ACLU and others demanding he be fired. (He's already lost his TV deal and been suspended for two weeks) because his public apology and offer to meet with the women of the team weren't good enough.

Here's a radical ideaIf you don't like what a radio personality has to say, DON'T LISTEN. If you disagree with the beliefs of an artist, don't support their art. This isn't kindergarten. We don't get to eat Play-Doh anymore and we don't get to tell on people because they said something mean. If you don't like the way someone's playing then take your $7.00 Mocha-Latte-Fuck-achino and go play somewhere else.

Or don't. Call up your pastor or the local news and scream at the top of your lungs demanding that someone lose their job because of their choice of words. Then the next time you hear someone crying about how "our government is taking away our civil liberties" you can stand up tall and let them know that they're wrong. It was, in fact, YOU.
