Good morning internet children
So, yesterday it was announced that Jack Layton (leader of Canada's New Democratic Party) pass away from cancer. Pretty dramatically sad stuff, considering he was one of the main reasons that his party was voted into the position of Official Opposition in the last election. However, I'm not here to discuss political ideology or party alignment.
Yesterday, as I was scrolling through the news feed on facebook (it's what I do), I noticed quite a few people blabbing about Mr. Layton. Many of the posts were what I expected "R.I.P. Layton" or fucking hilarious jokes about his mustache. Which was one of the coolest mustache I've ever seen by the way. It conformed to Jack's face wonderfully. Anyhow, there was the odd status that said something like "LOL Layton's dead" or "Fuck politics vote green party cus then wed hav less inocent pot smokers in jail" (actual spelling).
Now look, I'm not trying to get judgemental or have a holier than thou attitude, but what the fuck people? Why bother posting at all? Someone died, and whether you supported him or not, you don't post shit celebrating his death. That's fucked up, folks. The moment you start getting stoked on the death of someone that isn't completely proven to be a downright evil baby-eating-child-raping-mass-murdering tax evader, it's messed up.
By the way, brethren, I realize it's been quite a while since I posted on here. I'm sure you were all gathered around your computer, little greasy fingers constantly clicking the refresh button to see if it was finally that fateful day when I would decide not to be lazy and actually type up a bunch of random shit nobody cares about. You're welcome.
Moving right along to a different topic (because I don't have enough to say about anything to fill an entire post), let's talk about Bill Maher. Now guess what, I hate Bill Maher. There are so many reasons to hate him. He's a libertarian, he spent a whole bunch of money making that "Religulous" movie, which was not very funny by the way. I'm not very religious or anything, I just don't see the humour in finding the most fanatical followers of a religion and then trying to insult them with mediocre wit. It just doesn't get much of a chuckle from me.
Anyway, I have an urgent need to eat some eggs, so away I go.
