October 24, 2003The WatchtowerThis morning as I was getting into my car at the Mobil station by work, an attractive women, proabably around mid-thirties, very politely handed me some pamphlets. It was a Jehovah's Witness giving me a copy of both The Watchtower and Awake!. The quote above comes from TW in which the entirety of the zine was devoted to self-control.
This picture was from a section that was about Joseph resisting temptation. Most religions are misogynist and this one is just another example of how women are presented in an evil, seducing manner. "Today, Witness youths need to heed the Bible-based warnings against improper associations, immoral entertainment, pornography, and debasing music." Speaking of immoral entertainment, Wednesday night was excellent television night. We started off the evening with Angel, that was a booboojeebies episode that even included a hoopajoob. They hit the standard that I have come to expect out of Angel, throw in some evil villan with dark arts background, place him in a parallel plane of existence and figure out how to get a character there and back in one episode. After Angel, I watched the season premiere of South Park. ~Crab people, crab people, tastes like crab, talks like people~ They did a Queer Eye parody that turned the entire male population of South Park into metrosexuals. Eventually we find out that the Fab Five are really crab people living in a subterrean complex that is planning to turn the world population into weaklings so they can rule the world. It was highly entertaining and just when I don't think they can go any further into the realms of the absurd, they do. I also watched Kid Notorious right after SP and if it wasn't for Puss Puss, the pot smoking, pistol whipping kitty the show would be a bomb. Seriously. But that cute little kitty always getting into the cheeba and physically torturing English, the butler, seems a little on the Tom and Jerry side of life. I can only hope this behaviour continues throughout the episodes. 11:44 AM
CommentsI read an article about Kid Notorious today, and was amazed to find out that Robert Evans actually voices his own character in the show, and the butler is voiced by his butler! Wackiness. Puss Puss rules. Posted by: patd at October 24, 2003 12:55 PM and of course the evil seductress is a redhead. I've always found it amusing how female hair color is so tightly tied in entertainment to their moral worth. Blondes and brunettes swap places between good and evil though the brunette usually gets the evil role. and reheads are always the most sexual. Posted by: LukEchrm at October 24, 2003 01:45 PM I can't believe the women weren't at all offended by their negative portrayal. How about some pamphlets with guys seducing women eh? but oh nooooo, guys are immorality-free! Especially the religious ones! :P pfft... no offense, John. You're actually one of the good ones! xtine congrats on the media charity poster thing! that's cool... Posted by: texasyankee at October 24, 2003 04:21 PM I miss you.
