In the interest of political correctness

Posted on June 11th, 2008 in Religion by Christodolus || No Comment

Political correctness, everyone wants to be politically correct these days. But even worse are those people who make blatantly racist or otherwise inflammatory statements and then say, “I hate people who are politically correct.” Oh please, you’re an asshole, face it. Stop trying to make it look like you’re rebelling from the crowd of people who just want to get along, and please please stop making a simple issue into one whole They’re Invading!!! problem. You people are so tiresome, and embarrassing to yourselves and to your country. Sad people.

Fortunately, it appears most other Australians have better things to do than being worried that they’re perceived as politically correct.

The Pirate’s Prayer

I noticed that Marc posted about a spoof prayer to aXXo (a well known ripper), and I couldn’t help but notice that it was mostly a copy from something I’d seen ages ago that’s probably a derivative of something even earlier, from the times of floppies even.

Our father, who art a pirate
Filesharing be thy name,
From edonkey it’ll come,
Or bittorrent its from,
On computers as it is on trackers.
Give us this day our daily copy
And forgive us, our leeches
As we forgive those who leech from us.
And lead us not into court
But deliver us from the mpaa
For thine is the backup
For ever and ever
Amen

Here’s a slightly different reference.
