"I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and I fully support my country's decision to sue that Jew." --Borat
It appears this is a self-fulfilling prophesy, several people in the movie "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit of Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" want to sue Sasha Cohen because the movie was represented as a documentary. We have at least three separate and independent groups wanting to "sue that Jew." The people of Grod, Romania were poor and couldn't speak English but were portrayed as incestuous urine drinking Muslims.
The ABSOLUTE worst Biker gang
I guess it would be marauding Liberal, Atheist, Hollywood biker's who write for the liberal media and hate freedom. They make women managers, kids cry and dogs bark in the night. They smoke pot for medicinal reasons and ask legimate questions about the war in Iraq. They wear pleather chaps. They drink Pinot Noir and listen to NPR. They drive Mini Coopers and Hybrid cars. They tow their bikes to Daytona! Tow!
Ann Coulter has yet to identify them...
BUT THEY LIVE!
They are a bigger threat than Osama. Who incidentally no one is looking for and the BinLaden unit has been closed down. All because Bill Clinton got a hummer from a portly Jewish girl.
Are we just Monkeys
This means the Apes have won! This is the "Planet of the Apes!"
Evil, it's not as bad as you think
Evil always does a decent job marketing itself, although it does a good job of selling itself without it. Kinda like a major soft drink, they are number one, but they still advertise. It's to maintain the lead over the competition. Still, evil must appeal to new audiences to further broaden it's market share.
What's one way to this? Create a motto!
Why?
At work one day I noticed a loud noise. I found that it was a machine used to sort envelopes. I wondered if the noise was in fact the ultimate goal of this device, which incidentally also provides mail sorting features, resulting in a benefit to the organization. I'm sure the discovery that the loud noise and array of gears used to produce said noise was a platform for an employee's advancement once he/she found the noise could sort envelopes. I have heard of people starting in the mail room and working their way up the corporate ladder. I can confirm this as fact.
The Divine Comedy
Harry Shearer says "Comedy is good, reality is better." I tend to agree.
Laughter, the best medicine...
I won!
A dollar from the lottery! What to do!?! Should I pay off my bills? Splurge it on a freewheeling spending binge?
The damn IRS took a whopping 6% and that just leaves me with 94 cents, Bastards. Just when I thought I could finally get ahead once in my life!
The dark side of winning the lottery is that all my friends and relatives now want me to lend them money. Sometimes the pressure is unbearable. A coworker asked for a nickel for the soda machine. Shit, do I look like a frickin' bank!
You may call me crazy, but I'm not going to quit my job. I'm simply going to save the remaining 89 cents.
A Gnostic Bugger
No one wants to be the bad guy, except the bad guy wants to be perceived as good.
If you have a bugger on your nose. Would you want to know about it? You may say "Yes" (I would want to know). Some people would be offended by the observation, others would welcome it. Form an alliance with this person if you wish to be bugger free, you'll also have a healthy relationship. Simply saying "Their is a foreign object on your nose." will suffice. Leave the discovery of it's composition to the wearer.
They may discover this fact with no intervention, yet be ashamed that some people may have noticed it earlier.
What if it's a wart? We are assuming the person knows it's there. Would pointing this out be beneficial? If the person is uncomfortable with this fact it may be a issue to point it out. Does the fact change? Is the observer an asshole for pointing out this flaw? If the "wart" exists, it may have existed before the skillful observer picked up on it. Yes, they know this, it therefore becomes the problem of the observer.
You may need to move on.
Most people pick their nose, yet will not acknowledge the fact. Interestingly, most of this group will pick their nose in a heavily windowed automobile as if they are somewhat invisible to the world. The comfort for this scenario is based on the lack of judgement. Most people will not shout "You are picking your nose!" It might be difficult to perform at a high rate of speed. The logic is "If nobody's see me, it did not occur." The fact remains. You are lying to yourself.
Welcome to the mind of the critical thinking Virgo.
Many people have a learned traits that prevents them from being candid about your "bugger" problem. One swift act of harsh treatment from either the victim or the observer will radically alter the situation for the worse. Pick your buggers wisely.
--Begin Fictionalized Issue--
A system is running poorly or not at all. The Manager hates bad news. The people responsible for the system are unaware of the error. Noticing the error places you in a difficult position. Inform the Boss and piss him off or keep quite? The responsible party, being experts, most likely will rebuff your observation. If you say nothing, you are in fact instrumental in the continuing lose of revenue.
