What the fuck, birthers? (redux)

I thought one little write-up was good enough for thos crazy "Birther" movement people. And it would've been, if some of their ilk hadn't outdone their previous efforts towards stupidity.

Ladies and gentleman, I give you the "Obama, show us your big black cock" movement:

Freerepublic

Apparently, if Barack Obama, as a Mr. Larry Sinclair has stated, is not circumcised, then he was not born in the United States. Therefore, Obama should show his penis to someone to have it examined to see if he's "cut".

You know, ignoring the completely ridiculously amount of stupid behind that (re: not everybody gets circumcised in the U.S.), there is a major legal issue having to do with medical privacy. You know what that reminds me of? That time these idiots wanted his birth certificate, but ran up against a legal issue involving a right to privacy in medical matters.

Seems like they just keep hitting the same wall... Over... And over... And over again.

We can only hope they start hitting actual concrete walls (concrete as in physical, not the substance - though, the substance would be fine) to the point that they:

A> die

or

B> Can no longer communicate

What the fuck, haven't you ever heard of satire?

I actually love the site "Christwire.org". The writing is so convincing most of the time (it does what The Onion used to do^[1]). In fact, the writing is so smart that sometimes, I find myself thinking it's real and having to remind myself that it's satire.

When I came across an article about the new World of Warcraft expansion that was announced Friday, I knew I had to find the "buzz" about it on the internet. My first goal was to find out how many idiots bought into the article, hook/line/sinker. So, first, I checked out the World of Warcraft forums, where I found a topic on it. I had found a goldmine, and I knew it.

The topic in question had 20+ pages of replies (20 replies/page). Not one of the more than 400 replies said "This is hilarious satire", or anything even remotely resembling "This is fake". In fact, most of them were pure outrage or people writing entirely-too-long "tl;dr" diatribes about how the article is wrong (and the site being a crappy site full of Christian-propaganda).

While reading that topic, I came across a post mentioning a similar post on "MMO-Champion" (a site that talks about MMO games - shocker, right!?). This obviously led me to MMO-Champion, where I searched for the topic. I quickly found it: another 8 pages of "OMG I'M SO OFFENDED".

The best part about a lot of the posts on either board are tha many people decided to ramble on, writing long, "intellectual" diatribes about how "stupid" and "unintellectual" the author of the article was. Most of these people also suggested that they were "much more intelligent than the author". Yep, the author is the stupid one here, apparently.

So, in closing, I would have to say that even though the article is not, in any way serious, I'm beginning to agree with it: World of Warcraft must be stopped. Perhaps if these people lived any lives outside of the game, they'd see the article (and the site in general) for what it is: Brilliantly-written satire that just trolled the fuck out of them.

1. You know, be subtle. That's what they did before the writers/owners decided that it should constantly be "over the top".
