Rush Limbaugh is still alive???

Ok, I’ve kind of quiet for the past week enjoying the holidays with family and…well mostly friends.  Last week Rush Limbaugh ranted about one of my favorite actors Idris Elba being rumored to be considered as the next James Bond.  Now his argument was against him not because he was a horrible actor or that he couldn’t make you believe that he could be James Bond.  No his argument was just that he was black….Ok, last time I checked James Bond was a fictional character.  That means he can be warped and changed to fit the cinematic needs of the studio that owns the rights to make the movies.  Does that mean you can hire Matt Damon to portray Malcolm X?  No it doesn’t because that is completely retarded.  There is a difference in portraying a historical figure due to their circumstances that surround their importance to history.  James Bond is a Scottish Briton secret agent who is a womanizer and fights for Queen and Country.  So…what you’re telling me is that there are no Black Scots?  If this is true then I’ll retract my argument against Idris Elba’s consideration but if there are…and I know that they exist because we are EVERYWHERE then why the hell are we listening to racist comments from a man who stopped making sense back in the 90’s.  Listen Rush…we don’t need narrow-minded individuals like you tearing down good actors when we as a people can make ourselves look horrible on our own.  Every time I look at WorldStarHipHop.com I’m ashamed that I know that website exists.  Shaking my head at the stupidity of idiots who have an audience.  I will say that Idris Elba responded perfectly by tweeting by a funny face and saying, “Thanks for thinking I’m good enough.  But isn’t James Bond attractive?”  That there is what we call class people.  Learn it.

Deluded Self-Importance of Hackers

Merry Christmas everyone.  I hope all of you enjoyed the time spent with family and friends and all of the gifts that you received this year.  I know I did.  It was great receiving the new Nook Galaxy 4 Tab especially after I lost my Nook HD last week coming home from work.  So its just nice to know that someone likes me.  Now I don't know what you did after opening your gifts but I sat back while dinner was being cooked and decided to go on my Playstation 4 and play Assassin's Creed Unity.  I felt the need to kill a few Templars and maybe do a little co-op action.  Imagine my surprise when I found out that the Playstation Network was down.  I was thinking well Korea must really not have appreciated "The Interview" being released to a limited few theaters.  Lo' and behold some unknown and under appreciated Hacker group calling itself Lizard's tongue...I'm sorry Lizard Squad claimed responsibility for shutting down the Sony and X-Box Networks.  Not only did they gloat about it but they said if enough people tweeted their announcement they would turn the networks back on.  Congratulations.  The only people you managed to annoy were people who just wanted to go online and play video games.

So go ahead and feel proud of yourself.  You have deluded yourself into thinking you've accomplished some great goal in your life.  That's about how I felt when I actually reached 20000 points for my gamer profile for X-Box live.  That of course when I was 26 and didn't know any better.  Can I ask Lizard Squad a question?  What did you do that was so great?  Did you find that some corporation is stealing millions from its employees?  Did you find secrets online for my hover-board that Back to The Future II promised would be here by now?  No, you just merely inconvenienced a few million people.  Nothing spectacular.  You want to do something that people will remember why don't you all line yourselves up in front of a train and play chicken with it and see who dodges first?  That would be a better contribution to society than anything else you could possibly think about.  Why is it that Hackers have no imagination??  They always talk about bringing down the man and yet they do nothing about it.  They are some of the most intelligent individuals yet they are all doing the same thing that everyone online was doing.  They're sitting in their rooms and basements of their parents homes talking to each other in front of their computers and trying to find ways to be Grade A douche-bags who have nothing else in their lives to live for.  And the sad fact is that Sony and X-box and nameless other corporations would pay them top-dollar for their skill in today's world cyber-economics.  They just want to hold onto the titles of being the last true rebels.

Again, congrats Lizard Squad.  Can you hear the applause?  If so I hope you can also hear my mocking tone.  And just so you know, no one likes a self-deluded jackass.
