I've been following the Walter Reed scandal with great interest.

The politics I've mostly been paying attention to mocking recently is the "TOFU MAKES YOU GAY" argument. Which is kinda hilarious.

Dude, I saw that tofu story too! God, what people...

I mean, I thought about mentioning Ann Coulter's latest idiocy, but what's the point really? Nothing new there. Might as well go with what's in my own backyard.

God, I love that icon.

Thanks for the link! Interesting spectrum of reactions there. I wouldn't quite say that no one is taking her seriously anymore and her words mean nothing, but I certainly don't want to give her any more attention than she deserves. If only I had a giant catapult...

I just got home and am listening to Down Under, and... is this a bunch of drunk Russians singing? Is it? Because I think I love it, in a horribly traumatized way. (Like the Silent Hill Dance Party.)

Oh my God, why is it that, like, the last five videos I have watched on youtube all involved Pyramid Head dancing in some way? That was awesome.

The Down Under song is a cover of a fairly popular Australian tune, performed by, yes, Russians. It replaced the Numa Numa song as the one that is constantly stuck in the back of my head.

Because that is what YouTube is for, man! Dancing Pyramid Head.

I sent the link to rionaloenhart, and I think she's stopped talking to me XD.

Well, it is a proven fact that everyone in the Silent Hill community likes to git down and dance.

...so wait, how does that explain lesbians? By his arguments, there shouldn't be any such thing because we'd all be girlier-than-girly-girls. O_o (Now mind you, I didn't read past the first few paragraphs because he was making my brain hurt; perhaps he has some witty explanation for that further on.)

It doesn't. Nor does it explain why Asia isn't full of Teh Gay. It's a pretty dumb argument. (We eat soy and have leukemia. THEY MUST BE RELATED!" Never mind the whole, y'know, universe of other environmental factors.)

Sounds like this yutz would get along just great with my favorite "Chiroquacktor" in the area, and all his bogus scare-tactic statistics.

What do... I mean, what do chiropractors do to try and scare you? This concept is both amusing and confounding me. Do they bring out, like, medieval age racks or Iron Maiden devices that they say they're going to stretch you on?

Oh no, it's "better" than that - he uses skewed statistics to try to make people distrust conventional medicine and believe ONLY in the power of chiropractic to cure everything from backaches to autism.

There are some decent chiropractors out there, ones who see themselves as working with your MD, as a complement (or supplement) to standard medical procedures. I have no issue with them. But the ones who say they're ZOMG YOUR ONLY HOPE TO LIVE...? *snert*

Ahhh, I see. I figured this dude was, like, jumping out from behind closet doors with a mask on to try and startle you into.... I don't know, signing contracts? My mind goes weird places when I don't check it fast enough.

I hope you got the better of this chiropractor, at any rate! We all know the real healing is totally in acupuncture.

...come to think of it, he may be trying to get some business from whiplash cases (caused by accidents while people are distracted gaping in disbelief/ranting and frothing at his sign).

And I totally wouldn't go to him even if every disc in my spine was subluxated. I mean, that's what my witch doctor is for, right? 8D

That and the whole "Oo ee oo ah-ah" thing.

I have total faith that you could whip any chiropractor's ass. *waves Ouri flag*

I am charmed by witchdoctors, until they try to shrink my head.
