Don't You Dare Make Fun of That Racist!

Rate: 10 Flag

I am laughing my ass off with irony right now.

Yesterday I made a post about how nice it was to write here on OS because I can say whatever I want and just be me.  I'm a little more reigned in at my professional page.

I wrote two articles about an episode of Intervention that focused on video game addiction.  One for OS, and one for my other site.  I thought I was being a very good girl on the proffessional one.

I had ONE, count em' ONE, throw away sentence about Dog the Bounty Hunter.  It was not meant to stir up controversy, it was simply meant to denote the type of progamming A&E has going on.

I now have 14 comments, 13 of which are from people who thought that one sentence was more important than the rest of the article.

They didn't like the fact that I brought up his racist remark and that I didn't acknowledge his high ratings.

I have commented back about the ratings slip up.  That was simply a poor turn of phrase. But I am getting bitched at for calling the guy out on something HE FUCKING DID! I even closed the sentence saying he was on a road to redemption!

If you've ever wanted to see me get my ass reemed and not be able to come back in my own special way take a look at this.

Click here.

That'll teach me to call out racism in front of a southern audience again...

It gets way more page clicks ;)

Too funny. I swear I've had a couple of posts- even here- where people seem to read the title and maybe the first sentence before they're off and running in the comments. I scan a lot of the time too (we're all short on time I know), but really, if you're going to take the time to comment how about trying to read all the way through?

What's great is the "I thought this article was supposed to be about video game addiction..." Line that pops up a couple of times.

Seriously. I had one sentence about Dog and now that's the focus of the article. Gotta love it.

This is pretty damn funny. Okay, a postmortem: I think if you want to use a term like redneck, you need to establish that it's an in-group thing rather than an outsider using it. So Jeff Foxworthy can build an entire career around calling people rednecks, because he has a southern accent, but you do it once in print, and, well... (Hip-hop works the same way, I think.) I think you're right about the racism "accusation" as well. The letters all seem to have a defensive how-dare-you?! tone to them.

So how about a comeback in your inimitable style? I think it would be great to see your "My God, some people are stupid!" rants in a professional publication. Of course, we might end up reading just one...

Shame on you, you anti-racist. Racists are people too!

Rob: your postmortem is dead on. See, if I could be myself people would realize that I'm just equal opportunity with the derogatory comments. (How many times have I used the word dyke on here before? Not exactly a little pc lesbo) I actually don't have a problem at all with Dog's show. I've watched it quite a few times. As far as his slip up goes, that was simple fact. I didn't put a gun to his head and make him say those things.

As far as your next title suggestion goes, we'll just see if I make it through the day with my page. lol.

Sandra: I know, I should be more sensitive. =(

Some people just aren't happy unless they are bitching at someone else. Me, I bitch at everybody sometimes. Dog? If I want to watch half-witted meth heads I can just look across the street.

you're an anti-raceite, that's what you are.

I think I was the one that left the non racist remark. Plus your hands are kind of tied over there. You can hardly call out a bunch of racist, bigoted assboils and keep your job. That's at least one thing good about OS. If you're an assboil, then someone will call you an assboil.

Michael: Yeah, you were my one friend over there, then Jess D. Facts came by to defend my honor a bit. It's just funny to me. I love how you can call yourself a redneck with pride, yet I call a dude with a mullet one and I'm an asshole.

Miko: indeed.

A commenter on the examiner.com site:

Your writing style is clearly unprofessional of that of a good writer.

That is so precious.

Mungular,

Fuck'm, they just do not know what we know. What do you care about those who do not know the first rule of journalism:
Whatever Mungular says is the fucking law.

It's amazing and stupefying how people will come to the defense of a clueless racist like Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Thoth: "Whatever Mungular says is law"
I could get into so much trouble if that were true lol

Gus: I was bewildered. I think they went on some kind of Dog message board and posted my article.

That fucking moron who calls everybody "brother" is just a dumb asshole period. Dumb, redneck asshole with dumb redneck family surrounding him shooting paint balls and shit at people. He's like Hulk Hogan after a lobotomy and with a badge. Scary shit and I recall when A&E stood for "Arts" and "Entertainment". Now it must stand for "Assholes" and "Enemas".

Rated, a bit late, sorry Mung. ;-)
