Simon Fraser (IV)

The ad in the left column said “Get Ripped Soon”. There were before and after shots.

The guy in the after shot was indeed ripped, but he had a terribly ugly face. And not just surface ugly, ugly behind the eyes.

And I thought, hmm, not really what I aspire to.

Facebook has agreed to let third party advertisers eat your children without your permission. Click on “Settings” up at the top. Select “Menu”. Then select “Human Sacrifice”. Next, select the tab that reads “Children”. In the drop down box, select “No One”. Then save your changes.

I received a piece of spam mail today. The subject was “How To Give a Female an Orgasm – Without Effort”.

And I thought, “Ya, it’s having to make an effort that always seems to get in the way. If I just didn’t have to do all that heavy lifting, all the roadie work, sex would be so much better.”

And if I could get this liberation from labor in the form of capsule I could ingest twenty minutes before I was planning to find myself in a sexual situation, wouldn’t the clouds just open up? For her at least.

And if I could do all this from the comfort of a reclining chair positioned in front of a television with a colostomy bag and oxygen tank nearby… I mean wow.

Kevin Matviw wrote a note on Facebook today in which he offered critical advice to anyone hosting or producing a comedy show. Others agreed with the substance of his note with “likes” or comments of their own.

While I truly appreciate that there are people who would prefer to judge comedy by its level of artistic quality rather than its lack of production values, there was something about this method of communication that didn’t sit well with me. To the audience to whom these criticisms are most directed (unskilled comedy producers), they could easily come across as whiny and bitchy. As I saw it, the only substance missing was real world action.

My comment on the note:

I invite you all to take on finding the worst of the worst within your criteria of what makes a good comedy show or producer. Introduce yourself to them. Explain to them where your passions lie. Ask them if you could work with them to hone their production skills. If they agree, you only have to guide them once and they will have learned from your guidance.

Then have a shower. And if you’re still unsatisfied, do it again with the 2nd worst of the worst.

If you have a problem, YOU have a problem. YOU should do something about it. Writing your complaints here doesn’t do anything but create a record of your complaint. SFW? The comedy shows or producers you perceive as poor quality are not gonna have a revelation reading this here if they don’t already have revelations in the real world.

If you really want to strengthen this community, then create community.
