Ricky Gervais Burns Hollywood: ‘You Know Nothing About the Real World’

Posted on | January 6, 2020 | 2 Comments

 

Everybody on Twitter was talking about this Sunday night:

Host Ricky Gervais used his opening remarks at the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards Sunday night to scold his celebrity audience for hypocritically promoting progressive ideas despite the skeletons in their own industry’s closet.
“You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything,” said Gervais. “You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.”
Gervais alluded to several of the various scandals that have rocked Hollywood in the past few years. He warned movie executives that Ronan Farrow “is coming for you,” and joked that Felicity Huffman—who served time for her role in the college admissions fraud—was busy making license plates.
Gervais also referenced Epstein’s suicide, which prompted some boos from the audience. But the comedian didn’t miss a beat. “Shut up,” said Gervais. “I know he’s your friend, but I don’t care.”
Speaking for the millions of people who would rather not be lectured about climate change by a bunch of movie stars and their private jets, Gervais concluded his remarks by warning the night’s award winners not to make any obnoxiously woke political statements.
“Come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your god, and f–k off,” he said.

 

Most Americans have stopped watching these award shows. The ratings are in the toilet because network TV is dying, the victim of Internet streaming. A “celebrity” is now any cute 19-year-old girl with a YouTube channel and an Instagram account. Every so often, Twitter erupts in a firestorm of messages declaring that some allegedly “famous” person (e.g., James Charles) has been “cancelled,” and the first thing I have to do is figure out who this “famous” person is. Excuse me if I descend into Boomer nostalgia here, but before the Internet, and before there were 220 cable TV channels, we had exactly three networks, and if you weren’t on NBC, ABC or CBS, you weren’t famous. Now?

Gregory Daniel Jackson, a/k/a “Onision,” is a YouTube personality with about 2 million subscribers who was originally famous for a silly performance called “I’m a Banana.” Now 33 years old, Onision has been called “YouTube’s most troubled star” because of his “bizarre and disturbing” content and his habit of provoking controversy. He is militant about veganism, for example, calling meat-eaters “murderers,” and despises Christianity, calling the Bible “a book of hate.”

Two million YouTube subscribers is a pretty big audience, but I never heard of this guy until he was accused of being a creep. Certainly, in the days of three networks, there were TV stars who were creeps, but now you’ve got random creeps becoming “famous” on the Internet — two million subscribers! — without any adult ever knowing who they are.

My point is . . . Well, I’m sure there must be a point in all this, but I don’t have time to think about it now because we might be at war with Iran by the time I could finish explaining why life was better when we only had three TV networks and no Internet. If you’re old enough to know what I mean, you’re probably eligible for a senior citizen discount — $7.59, drinks included! — at the Golden Corral buffet.

If you’ll hit the freaking tip jar for $7.59, I’ll post a picture of my buffet plate on my Instagram account. Because I’m celebrity, too . . .

Did You Donate for … Uh, ‘Fire Relief’?

Posted on | January 5, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

Nothing but a hoe, but she’s got the proverbial “heart of gold”:

An American Instagram model has raised more than $100,000 for Australian bushfire victims by encouraging her followers to donate in exchange for naked selfies.
Kaylen Ward offered to send a nude photo of herself to any person who donated at least $10 to an organisation assisting with battling the devastating blazes.
She said in the past she has sent photos for money, and was hoping her regular customers would be interested in donating to a good cause.
Within minutes, her private messages on Instagram and Twitter were bombarded by hundreds of people sending in their receipts to prove they had donated.
The Texan model, who now lives in Los Angeles, has spent almost every minute since responding to the more than 20,000 messages she received with individualised naked photos.
Ms Ward said she was motivated to use her following to contribute to the cause after photos surfaced of the catastrophic conditions.
‘It’s devastating and any normal person would be concerned and want to help,’ she said.

(Apparently, abnormal people want to help, too.)

She asked her followers to donate directly to a list of charities she suggested, which included NSW Rural Fire Service, Victorian Country Fire Service, Red Cross and certain koala hospitals across the nation.
Ms Ward hoped her post would attract ‘a few thousand dollars’.
Within one day, she had about 20,000 messages in her inbox with receipts.

No good deed goes unpunished:

She’s now hired a team of four people to help her sort through the thousands and thousands of DMs she’s received. They’ve been working around the clock to verify donation confirmations as best they can and reply with the promised nude.
Ward said that by midday Sunday, they estimate more than $500,000 has been raised thanks to her campaign. . . .
But Instagram has thrown a bit of a wrench into her plans. Although she was running the campaign on Twitter, word of it spread to Instagram, where Ward had 50,000 followers. On Saturday, Ward said Instagram shut down her account, claiming she’d violated their guidelines.
In a screenshot posted by Ward, Instagram said she had posted “sexually suggestive content,” though the model denies she broke any rules. She’s tried to reach out to Instagram but hasn’t heard back.

What hypocrisy! There are thousands, maybe even millions, of hoes who use Instagram to advertise their, uh, services and if Instagram is going to ban every hoe who posts “sexually suggestive content,” practically every sorority girl in America would have her account shut down. Seriously, ask around — most young women (and many not-so-young women) have figured out they can hustle more money from guys on social media than they can in any actual job for which they’re qualified.

Most college guys can’t get the time of day from any decent-looking girl on campus nowadays because if a girl rates as high as 7 on the 10 scale, she’s got hundreds of horny men swarming into her DMs, offering money for nudes. “Hit me up on venmo” — five words that no horny fool can resist, apparently, and if Kaylen Ward can get 20,000 donations in a matter of days, doesn’t that give you some idea of the size of this market? Maybe your college-age daughter is not whoring herself out via Instagram, Snapchat or some other online venue, but she certainly knows she could if she’s even remotely attractive. The Internet means every good-looking girl is sitting on a gold mine, given the worldwide demand from fools desperate to see what she’s sitting on.

If you wonder why young men are so profoundly cynical about women, regarding them as a bunch of selfish sluts, this is the explanation. Of course, most parents are clueless about what’s happening, but let me point something out that you may not have noticed. Next time you go to the mall or some other retail venue, notice that none of the clerks or cashiers are attractive young women. There was a time when retail businesses placed a premium on hiring “eye candy” in customer-service positions, but you practically never see a pretty face working retail anymore, and why? “Hit me up on venmo.”

Work? An actual job? That’s for ugly people. All the pretty girls are peddling nudes on the Internet. Welcome to the 21st century.

Why Do ‘Incels’ Want War With Iran?

Posted on | January 5, 2020 | 1 Comment

Crazy? You want crazy? David Futrelle is a “male feminist” who I’d ordinarily ignore, but he found something genuinely weird this time:

Incels welcome possible war with Iran
because “the more dead normies the better”
Over on Incels.co, the regulars seem pretty stoked about what appears to be an impending US war with Iran. When one commenter asked his fellow “involuntary” celibates whether they thought there would be a war, a commenter called FinnCel answered with a hearty “I sure hope so.” . . .
Someone called Emergency Manual explained just what it was it was about this as-of-this-moment-still-hypothetical war that appeals to incels so much:

The more dead normies the better. . . .

“I just eat popcorn and look at others killing each other,” FInnCel added.
Not all of the assembled incels were quite so enthusiastic. Some doubted a war would happen. Others railed against “k*kes” and worried about being “drafted to die for Israel.” And one suggested that

Iran would treat every American on this forum better than America would… Think about that if they try to draft you.

Apparently quite a few incels are under the delusion that every man in Iran is automatically gifted a hottie virgin wife.
At least you can’t say that the incels aren’t interested in foreign policy.

In case you didn’t already know, “incel” means “involuntary celibate,” i.e., a loser who can’t get laid. A “normie” is an average, normal guy who may or may not be getting any action, but who is not tuned into the Great Conspiracy Wavelength Frequency by which the incel gained awareness of his existential hopelessness. Incels consider “normies” even more disgusting than “Chads” (the apex predators of the sexual ecosystem), and basically want all normies to die:

After Alek Minassian’s Toronto van rampage [in April 2018] that left 10 dead and 15 injured Monday, speculation abounded about his motive. The 25-year-old suspect had not been on the radar of law enforcement, and authorities said the killings “were not national security related.”
Then a Facebook post emerged from what appeared to be Minassian’s account. Posted the day of the attack, it hints at an unsettling motive.
“Private (Recruit) Minassian Infantry 00010, wishing to speak to Sgt 4chan please,” it reads. “C23249161. The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!” . . .
“Incels,” or “involuntary celibates,” are part of the online male supremacist ecosystem. . . . One of the newest forms is “incel.” . . .
Elliot Rodger provides the most chilling example of the most violent ends of this nihilistic, spiteful and self-centered ideology. He killed six people and injured 14 others in a mass shooting in California in 2014. He wrote a manifesto blaming women for his loneliness and the fact that he was still a virgin. “I’m the perfect guy and yet you throw yourselves at these obnoxious men instead of me, the supreme gentleman,” he wrote.
Incels see Rodger as their patron saint. They celebrate his tactics, his body count and, of course, his manifesto, and write wistfully of a violent uprising yet to come. They glorify Rodger’s attack using the shorthand, “going ER.” After last year’s horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas, incels on Reddit praised Paddock for killing “normies,” and hastened to claim him as one of their own in the absence of a clearer motive. . . .
User Crustaciouse began their own thread this afternoon, titled, “I laugh at the death of normies. They will die while we survive.”
“Us incels spend most of our time inside, there’s no way we would ever be victims of an attack. But normies must now live with fear for the rest of their lives, they can’t go to school, the mall, or on a date without having to fear another incel attack,” they wrote. “And they should fear it, this is what happens when you leave us without any love or companionship.”

Sick, wrong and twisted? Yes. Laughable? Totally. Meanwhile, incels are also hoping women (“femoids”) get drafted to fight in World War III.

Crazy People Are Dangerous

Posted on | January 4, 2020 | Comments Off on Crazy People Are Dangerous

 

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph:

A brief and somewhat uneventful high-speed chase across a southern stretch of Putnam County two nights before Christmas had salacious origins when a woman told police her ex-boyfriend broke in and stole several items, including a sex swing.
A woman who lives a few miles south of Eatonton near Lake Sinclair told police she arrived home the evening of Dec. 23 to find a man she had once lived with — a man who she said fathered two of her children — making off with more than a dozen pairs of high-heels and “other miscellaneous objects.”
Those other objects, according to a Putnam sheriff’s report, included an infant activity play mat, a Spider-Man blanket and a “black $160 “Fetish Fantasy … adult sex aid … spinning swing.”
Authorities were promptly notified and sheriff’s deputies were soon on the lookout for a gray 2016 Dodge Challenger, which the alleged burglar, John David “Donk” Lewis, drove away in.
The 30-year-old victim of the alleged theft said when she got home that night the Dodge was parked outside with its trunk open.
The woman said she spotted Lewis, 29, “carrying a container of her high-heeled shoes and other property,” a deputy’s report noted.
While the deputy was talking to the victim, another woman at the house received a text message from Lewis. The message included a photograph of Lewis, who the report said was “holding a black fabric object identified as the victim’s sex swing. Lewis was also displaying his right middle finger to the camera,” according to the report.
It wasn’t long before another deputy spotted the gray Dodge and took off after it at speeds up to 112 mph along a highway toward Milledgeville.
It was raining and the deputy quickly called off the chase. The Dodge was later found abandoned and stuck in some mud in a roadside ditch near Lake Sinclair.
Inside the car was a beige tote bag with 15 or so pairs of women’s high-heel shoes. In the trunk, deputies found the sex swing.
“He just had to have it apparently,” Sheriff Howard Sills later said of the swing. “It was a device near and dear to his heart.”
Lewis turned up Dec. 27 at a house in neighboring Baldwin County. When Putnam sheriff’s investigators got there to arrest Lewis on felony burglary and eluding charges, Lewis’ ex-girlfriend was in the driveway.
She said she had come to get a vehicle that belonged to Lewis, but didn’t know where he was. An investigator spotted Lewis hiding nearby.
Lewis said he had run from the police a few days earlier “because he was scared and he did not have a driver’s license,” according to the sheriff’s report.
Lewis had previously denied breaking into the woman’s residence, an investigative report said, claiming he lived there with her.
According to the report: “John then begged (her) to drop the burglary charges and said, ‘Baby, please, that carries a lot of (prison) time.’” Lewis, the report went on, “then dropped to his knees and begged (her)” again.
The charges were not dropped.

The suspect, we are told, fathered two children with the victim. Let us pause to think about what shall become of their offspring, having been conceived and raised by such a pair of fine, upstanding citizens.

“Mama, why is Daddy is prison?”

Yeah, those kids are hopelessly doomed.
