The nastiest example

Back in our lets talk porn post I loudly pointed out the following:

Once you are on the net you are on it forever so be very careful what you decide do to in front of a camera or anywhere near a cellphone camera.

You ignore this warning at your own risk.

Well at right wing news we see the nasty example of this kind of thing

it’s not an unusual occurrence. I have probably had friends/acquaintances of mine show me naked pics of their ex-girlfriends at least a dozen times — and I don’t think that’s unusual. As a general rule, you don’t even have to ask. They want to show them to you, to pay their girlfriend back for whatever slight they feel like they’ve suffered at her hands during the break-up.

Moreover, although I can’t go into detail for obvious reasons, I have had female friends of mine tell me all sorts of horror stories about naked pics — quasi-blackmail attempts, having the photos intentionally or accidentally leaked out on the web — it goes on and on.

So, let me just give all the women out there the exact same advice publicly that I would give them privately: do not let your boyfriends take naked pictures of you or the time may come when you regret it.

And the story that prompted this advice ended in the suicide of an 18 year old girl.

So keep this in mind. You don’t have the luxury of being an idiot in private that your parents and grandparents did. Drill it into your head. And if you do something stupid, remember it is still just something stupid, it isn’t something worth doing something even stupider over.

You can’t win if you don’t play…

…so says Breitbart concerning his appearance on Bill Maher’s show.

But it is Ben Shapiro who actually nails the technique being used:

But I contend that there’s one objective indicator that Stewart and Maher have lost their ability to be funny: their audience is so stacked that they laugh at clearly unfunny lines – they’re living laugh tracks.

Let me give you an example, I like McHale’s Navy loved it as a kid and have all 4 seasons of it. Tim Conway is just dead funny. Watch the DVD’s and you will laugh a lot. Now watch the McHale’s Navy Movie from 1964. Same actors, same type of comedy but you laugh less, why? No laugh track to carry the marginal jokes.

Didn’t the current President…

…Vote for the Tarp plan that allowed the AIG money without conditions?

Then Senator Obama could have opposed the TARP plan and could have demanded changes. He did not. If he had it would have been actual proof the the “moderate” assertions of our intellectual friends.

That being said I didn’t support the plan at the time and criticized then President Bush for it so he does deserve the hits for it

I don’t mean to be a spoil sport…

…but wouldn’t a Mass. or a rosary be more appropriate on SAINT Patrick’s day than getting drunk on green beer?
