Soda Ash's Tony: La dee dah. Early one stormy morning, I was doing my Anyway, the cartoon was made with an audio clip by
People make me sick.
10/10/01
normal 'defy sleep by decaying in front of the
computer' marathons, watching a Flash cartoon by the
name of Mario Twins. It's basically a spoof of that
old janky-assed classic, Super Mario Bros. It made me
laugh, at least.
Group X. I was curious and decided to look into their
site at www.groupxarab.com. Searchin' for the
interesting stuff, I clicked a button with the title
"i hate yhou mail". Yes, "yhou". The following was the
first thing I saw...
"hehe i think someones jealous cuz are country isnt
infested w/ sickness and are childern are feed daily, and wedont have to bang camels in the ass to get off, well i can see y u r jealous, but its not your fault ure poeple are filthy, nasty, dirty, lowlife, sand coons, oh wait it is yer fault, my bad!
well you get the big FUCK YOU! and have a nice day u 3rd world piece of SHIT!
Love, The Americans"
First thing that came to mind was, "Oh, great. One of
those assholes who thinks bombing everyone with a
towel on their head is the correct response to a
terrorist attack."
I kept reading, seeing shit like
"...Our army could kill you all with a push of a button anywayz...."
and
"...HOW ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO SPELL AND LEARNING OUR FUCKING LANGUAGE BEFORE I FUCK YOUR FORIEGN ASS UP!!! STAY IN YOUR HOME LAND!!!"
... Ahem.
Now, keep in mind that Group X is a -gag- band that
sing with horrible, comical Arabian accents. Hell, the
names of their albums are "40 oz Slushie" and
"Stepping On The Crowtche Owf Your Americain
President".
Now, trekking back to my point. I continued to glance
over these interesting flames, until I realized that
every single one of the emails were over a year old.
Yes, yes, racism has been around for "quite" a bit, I
know. But comparing the empty tenacity of these emails
to the outbreaks of violence toward -anyone- who looks
Afghani in the dull, vacant eyes of the ignorant,
hot-headed 'American' makes me wonder just how many
closet racists there are in this 'land of the free'.
A co-worker of mine said to me "Stupid people should
not breed."
My response was "But it happens..."
I don't keep up with the news anymore. I don't -care-
anymore. Everywhere I look I see another person
confusing the size of his/her ego with the size of
his/her cock. My immediate concern with the whole
thing is how much will be cut out of Metal Gear Solid
2 and how long Syphon Filter 3 will be delayed. I no
longer care for the odd looks and stares I get from
midwesterners. I no longer care for what could
possibly be whispered behind my back concerning my
skin color.
People need to just play Quake or somethin' and calm
the hell down.
Fuck it. I'm done.
