We are not all butterflies...OR...Give us incoherence or give us death...OR...Hitler was such a fucking elevator

permalink It’s like Stuff White People Like, but with a lot preachier and more serious tone.
Obviously, the now 110 percent preachier Latfat likes this. Even if we’re not sure we should really be apologizing for Sarah Palin, since the world seems to get a pretty big kick our of her, and we’re pretty sure America can only take half the blame for Guidos.
We’re also pretty shocked that Sarah Palin, Jay Leno, Eddie Murphy (who does not deserve to be on that list at all despite his recent spat of fucking awful movies) and Capitalism made it onto this list before George W. Bush.
Pros: Plenty self-important, and preachy.  Just the way we like ‘em.

permalink Latfat, like many tumbltards, have the ipod phone that has been all the rage.  So, we too know the pain of having to be on AT&T’s shitty network.
However, AT&T is not ”the world’s worst corporation.”  Far from it, in fact.
We understand that hyperbole is very common on the Internet, but let’s put the fact that the call to your friend dropped the other day in perspective of the real world.
There is this company called Xe, formally known as Blackwater Worldwide.  This company’s ultimate goal is probably to look like the evil, all consuming member of the military industrial complex featured as the ultimate villain in many Sci-Fi movies (see? Hyperbole! On the Internet!).  In fact, the departed Washington Times (a conservative-as-you-get paper, which never had much bad to say about the widespread use of contracting in our current foreign conflicts) calls District 9’s MNU “a Blackwater-like organization of mercenaries and bureaucrats.”
Just recently, five Blackwater security guards were cleared of all charges in the killing of 17 Iraqi civilians in 2007.  But, we guess that doesn’t really compare to visual voicemail not working in Times Square.
Pros: Maybe we’ve caught this one early enough that it won’t turn into another Comcast Must Die.

permalink As far as tumblr concepts based around posting screenshots from popular movies, this is probably the worst.
This probably sounds very familiar by now, but it’s just a shame that all the effort put into finding and reblogging photos of being looking into the camera isn’t used for social activation and mobilization.
Pros: It’s probably actually better these people aren’t trying to do good in this world, it would probably turn out like Wyflef’s charity efforts.

permalink So yesterday we thought about abandoning our New Yearz resolution to get preachy. Sad, we know.
In the face mother nature raping former slave colonies, CoCo’s impending doom, The Situation in our favorite elitist publication and the death of Tumblr’s greatest social segregator, we got a bit overwhelmed with real life awful things and we were thinking of giving up our glorious ambition.
Hell, if you can’t make a difference on Tumblr, where can you make a difference?
But like a bat out hell, we found our saving grace…Brutal Fucking Metal: Bringing Metal Awareness to the Tumbltard masses. Watch out Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, you’ve got some competition!
Pros: Like the rumor’s of Justin Hawkins and The Darkness reforming, there’s a chance we’ll make it now…
