Pish on a Friday

by Will, 17 January 2008

Anyone else see this pish the other day?

“Having a solidly middle-class family with relatives, as well as a brother, currently at Oxford, unquestionably helped.”

You don’t fucking say. Ignore the rest — as ever — it’s fucking worthless crap.

However, to save you some time… of course this particular cretin sees himself as weely wadical, questioning why opportunities like his are not open to all. He actually makes a few good points along the way but seems to focus on everyone wanting his own experience, without realising that someone like me is eternally grateful that I, like many others, went outside of Oxbridge wankland - the answer to his question at the end is personal ambition. He will end up wealthy with a ridiculous column on the Guardian Comments pages or just simply cease to give a fucking toss. That, or end up commenting ad nauseum at Harry’s Place from a log cabin in Montana.

This past week there has been agonising why more people from state schools don’t apply to Oxford and Cambridge and the obvious answer that being stuck in a pathetic, shitty, overblown crap town for three/four years with a bunch of cunts being taught (aka ritually humiliated) by a load of thick posturing tossers who think they are some sort of intellectual elite might not be the greatest fun in the world, this doesn’t seem to have occurred to anyone inside the fucked-up bubble that passes for an existence of our ‘betters’.

These are the sort of people (word used in its most abstract form) who follow, and put on a pedestal, second-rate middlebrow dreck that’s designed to appeal to the upper middle class dweebs who donate money to green charidees and think they’re sophisticated because they watch shit on BBC2 instead of Big Brother or read The Times or Guardian instead of The Mirror.

Oxbridge = more fucking tossers to delete! Let’s get fucking to it!

Offensive adverts

Mao

“It has an influence on the whole country. It damages the whole Chinese people.” BBC News.

Not quite as much as the real thing I would have thought.

Bastards banning smoking same as being marched to death camps (apparently)

by Will, 17 January 2008

More thick ‘libertarian’ type fuckers.

Opponents of Germany’s new smoking ban have appalled Jewish leaders by selling more than 1,000 “smokers’ T-shirts” that display a yellow Star of David and suggest that discrimination against nicotine addicts is like Nazi anti-Semitism during the Third Reich.The controversial T-shirts went on sale on an internet site in the run-up to a smoking ban which came in to force in 10 of Germany’s 16 federal states on New Year’s Day. Its promoters insisted that Germany needed to be woken up to what it described as “disgraceful discrimination against smokers” in bars and restaurants and claimed that its shirts were “the most aggressive smokers’ resistance shirt available”

Photographs of the T-shirts show them displaying a yellow Star of David identical to the Judenstern, or “Jewish star”, that the Nazis forced all Jews to wear in Germany after they were elected to power in 1933. The word “Jude”, or “Jew”, which was inscribed in the centre of the Nazi stars, is replaced by the word raucher, or smoker..
