Repeated Line: Dumb Dora was so dumb….

Match Game 1975

All my life I’ve heard dumb blonde jokes.

My favorite is the one where the blonde is walking down the street and sees a commotion, there is a guy at a skyscraper threatening to jump. She watches fascinated as Police and Fire try to persuade the fellow not to do it but alas he decides to jump and it was a terrible sight to behold.

Still bothered a few house later she’s at a local bar that she frequents talking about the incident when a news report comes on showing the man threatening to jump and the police turning up. She immediately speakers up: “$100 that he doesn’t jump.” She is quickly covered and the broadcast shows the unhappy ending.

As she’s paying out one of her friends asks: “Why did you make that bet, after all you were there?”

She answers: “Yeah I it was horrible, I can’t believe he did it again!”

But now we owe blondes an apology for all the various jokes that, at least according to my 18 year old co-worker that I asked last night are still being told, because yesterday I saw a non-blonde woman do something (via Instapundit) so insanely idiotic that no blonde no matter how dumb would ever be dumb enough to do.

You see she is a supporter of the riots going on currently in France, and she wanted to defend the immigrant who set a woman’s face on fire and her argument was that having your face set on fire was no big deal, so she decided to demonstrate that it didn’t hurt so much on a live stream:

To wit:

So on behalf of all of us who have told blonde jokes over the years, let me apologize as there is absolutely no way any blonde I’ve ever met is dumb enough to do this.

But there is another point to make here, that’s just as important.

If this lady was trying to make the case for Islam in general and for Sharia Law in particular she could not have done a better job.

You see Sharia Law makes a woman practically a slave to a man:

  • It argues that women are inferior.
  • That she must cover herself
  • That she is completely subject to her husband
  • That her testimony is worth only half of a man
  • That she can be divorced merely by her husband saying: “I divorce you.”

In short that a woman must be and needs to be kept under the complete control of a man, her father until she’s married and her husband after that.

And if I ever saw a woman who needs to be under the control of a man to make decisions for her, it’s this one.

So congratulations, you may have failed in proving that setting your face on fire is no big deal but if you wanted to back the Islamic invasion of France by showing the inferiority of women, particularly western woman you couldn’t have done a better job!

Closing thought #1: If this woman lived 50 years ago before the Internet this likely would not have happened

Closing thought #2 If this woman lived 200 years ago she likely would have died young as stupid people didn’t have today’s safety net to protect them from the world.

The quakes had done considerable damage. It had been the worst disaster since that business with the Melkur & The Doctor. Counsel Katura was getting reports from all over the planet and was surprised at the apparent lack of fatalities given the worldwide reach of the disaster but even with the damage the quakes did not seem to correspond to any comparable seismic activity ever recorded.

Then Fosters came to her chambers telling of visitors claiming information about what happened. A party of four women and one man entered & she was greeted by a familiar but unexpectedly elderly face.

For Columbus Day I strongly suggest the following Doctor Who Episode The Aztecs, one of the best episodes of the William Hartnell (1st Doctor Era)

If you want to understand what has happened to the culture this is the one to watch.

Even in the vast emptiness of space the gap seemed emptier. The entropy field had done it’s work, no stars no planets not even cosmic dust. The sight of it on the scanner had been painful years ago, the sight of it through the open doors make it even more dramatic.

“Why here, why now?” Nyssa asked.

Bernice turned: “We don’t know the instructions said this place at this time with the doors open.

River saw the wormhole first, barely visible then growing. It was the biggest space/time event she ever saw & then it was replaced by stars.
