That Guy Tue… Erm, Wednesday

Much like Jim Rome’s Triple U sponsor of the day, I have seen far too much hypocrisy combined with stupidity as of late. Whatever happened to the good ol’ days? People used to give a shit. People were engaged. Somewhere in the last twenty years, at least in a social and intellectual aspect, humanity has taken a quantum leap in reverse.

As such, I give you something that may develop into a weekly feature. That Guy Tuesday. On Wednesday. Yeah, but I’m a day late on everything this week. Meh.

I had a few choices this week, but this takes the cake. And in all due respect, I have seen this twice. I give you:

Hospital Doctors who use mobile phones on site when there is loads of signage indicating that all mobile phones should be shut off in all areas of the hospital.

This really is self explainatory. Fair enough, there is an argument that of isn’t so detrimental. Still, hospitals male such a point of it, there has to be some reasoning to the ongoing request. You would think the idea of ‘Lead By Example’ would be the first step to discourage mobile phone use.

Though since University, I have learned, Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Life Sciences notwithstanding, medical professionals are the dumbest people on Earth. May the Gods have mercy on our souls.

Much ado about nothing and the complete idiots that are in power

After near 40 days of unbridled political ranting and raving, Canada has decided to do nearly nothing to the balance of power. The Conservatives have missed their goal of a majority. The NDP missed overtaking the Liberals. The Liberals, frankly, missed the boat by making Stephane Dion as their leader. Meh. The real frakker is this election, latest in a string of minorities, not only changes so little, but costs us taxpayers a frakking fortune.

What’s really frightening is that we’ve let a leader like Dion stick around as the leader for so long. Whether his ideas are better or not is superceded by his lack of attention to a basic political fact. You have to play to the crowd. And to that, there can only be one choice for the new leader.

I guess there is solace. This is the best the Conservatives can ever be. The best Robot Boy will ever be. I wonder what the odds are there will be two new leaders the next time we spin the Wheel of Fortune that is Canadian Politics.

People are so fucking stupid

You know, I don’t laugh at the small bits of this video, but rather shake my head at the sheer idiocy of others.

I almost think there is reverse Darwinism occurring in certain human gene pools.

Found via various forwards on Facebook.

That is all.

I really have no patience for stupid

Hence why this is the most recent ‘witty’ (well some may not find it witty, but meh) T-Shirt I have:

“I’ll try being nicer… if you try being smarter.”

It boiled into a discussion with a friend here in the Lower Mainland. I have more tolerance for asshole than I do for stupid. And thought the initial conversation was about the absolutely retarded drivers that exist in Vancouver and it’s environs, sadly this post is NOT about the fucking asshole in a small Acura driving the wrong way on Granville St. at W Pender today (24 Sept 07 for those keeping track) at around 11AM PDT, nearly ploughing straight into my truck.

No, this has to do with the complete malfunction of a supposedly evolved sense of grey matter that our species is supposed to have. To wit:

People that think the reason cost of living is so high (which they agree the main factors are property value and oil prices) are directly attributed to the Liberals spending money AND balancing the federal budget.

Employers who believe that lower salaries attract a better quality of person to hire, and higher salaries attract only crystal meth junkies.

People who sit about like a bump on a log and expect me to immediately ignite a conversation without any intelligiable thoughts of their own.

People who think plagiarism is NOT a crime.

(An oldie but goodie) those who claim Run-DMC wrote Walk This Way and Aerosmith covered their song.

People who have the internet but don’t ever use Google to look things up, then ask inane questions that are easily Googleable.

People who debate basic physics with me.

Well, you get the point. Does anybody actually teach anymore, or are people really getting dumbererer?

That is all.
