Wonderland or Not

The darling of A & E network racist asshole Dog Chapman is coming back.

I really didn’t think this was important at first. I honesty didn’t think anyone actually watched this stuff. I had to look him up because I didn’t know who he was. I have since found that ….there are creatures who do watch this stuff - rabid creatures. We can’t prevent the fools and the imbeciles from watching some asshole I’ve never heard of, but we can let A & E and their sponsors know that we would like to bring some respect for humanity back to media.

Especially their sponsors. Let their sponsors know.

Duane “Dog” Chapman: I don’t care if she’s a Mexican, a whore or whatever. It’s not because she’s black, it’s because we use the word ni**er sometimes here. I’m not gonna take a chance ever in life of losing everything I’ve worked for for 30 years because some fucking ni**er heard us say ni**er and turned us in to the Enquirer magazine. Our career is over! I’m not taking that chance at all! Never in life! Never! Never! If Lyssa [Dog's daughter] was dating a ni**er, we would all say ‘fuck you!’ And you know that. If Lyssa brought a black guy home ya da da… it’s not that they’re black, it’s none of that. It’s that we use the word ni**er. We don’t mean you fucking scum ni**er without a soul. We don’t mean that shit. But America would think we mean that. And we’re not taking a chance on losing everything we got over a racial slur because our son goes with a girl like that. I can’t do that Tucker. You can’t expect Gary, Bonnie, Cecily, all them young kids to [garbled] because ‘I’m in love for 7 months’ - fuck that! So, I’ll help you get another job but you can not work here unless you break up with her and she’s out of your life. I can’t handle that shit. I got ‘em in the parking lot trying to record us. I got that girl saying she’s gonna wear a recorder…

A no comment Afrosphere Action Coalition media release.

You’ve all heard the AP hoopla, they want bloggers to stop copying AP content, and recently went after The Drudge Retort for doing so.

The AP want bloggers to pay them for content.

Words Fees
5-25 $ 12.50
26-50 $ 17.50
51-100 $ 25.00
101-250 $ 50.00
251 and up $ 100.00

They ask for your blog address at the bottom of the form.

Luckily for me the Darfur blog does not use American media most of the time unless we are putting out releases sent to us. I think this is a little ridiculous, but as I’m tired of full cut and paste posts with not single original thought this will not hurt my feelings.

In the end this will only hurt the AP. Have they not heard that most people my age can email their friends in Bejeng with the query 什麼是詞n街道我的朋友？( forgive me Hui )

Sure, there is that little firewall problem, but that is easier to get around than we might think.

I blame their own report - a recently concluded ethnographic study of the Deep Structure of Young Adult News Consumption( pdf)

Done under the guise of finding out what young people wanted from news, but for the purpose of finding out how they could use the internet as a their own cash cow.

Forgive the Anthropologists, they know not what they do.

Peace

It’s been danse macabre for media since I began reading or watching it, so knowing the deficiencies of a media which bows to corporate entities I enjoyed this clip of Bill Moyers keynote speech at the National Conference for Media Reform

Hey folks, it was “Sad” Love Songs.

I’m glad I’m not your professor.
