#WhenISeeAObamaBumperSticker: A Grammatically Incorrect Hashtag Trend For Racists

mattbinder — Tue, 21 May 2013 19:47:00 -0400

For most of Monday, the following hashtag was trending in the United States:

#WhenISeeAObamaBumperSticker. Interesting…

@JDun1989, the guy who started the hashtag, probably should’ve paid more attention in class as the grammatically correct way of putting it is “When I See AN Obama bumper sticker.”

Anyway, the point of the trending topic was to yuck it up with tweets like “I know they are a dirty liberal! lolololol.” Now there is plenty you can criticize Obama for, whether you are on the left or the right, but it became quite clear where this hashtag was going once these tweets started rolling in…

Hmmm. These tweets are incredibly specific in terms of it’s descriptions pertaining to certain racial stereotypes.

“Oh, come on Mr. Public Shaming Tumblr blog. You’re trying to see racism and it’s just not there. I think you’re overreaching!”

I’m not but don’t worry! There were a few *brave* souls who wanted to make it very clear…

Yup. These #WhenISeeAObamaBumperSticker tweets? Totally not racist. Totally.

Massive Tornado Hits Oklahoma; Right Wing Mocks, Talks 'Tornado Control'

mattbinder — Mon, 20 May 2013 22:13:14 -0400

Listen, I realize everyone has their own ways to deal with tragedy. I’m definitely not one to say “this is not time to politicize.” Everything is political and everything that happens within our government has an impact on how we live with our every day lives. For example, it is most definitely OK to make the relevant observation that the federal government will thankfully provide aid and relief to the poor victims of today’s massive tornadoes in Oklahoma meanwhile Oklahoma US Senators Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe had voted against federal relief and aid for Hurricane Sandy victims.

I’m also not one who gets up in arms when people crack a wise ass remark. However, it takes a special kind of asshole to see that children are among the casualties and then somehow compare an unpreventable natural disaster to, say, a school shooting…

To those who may not understand what they’re getting at, it’s OK. Because they know exactly who to suck up to to get a pat on their head and a “good boy!”

And sometimes we’ll even be blessed with this sort of intellectual observation from pundits like Fox News contributor Erick Erickson!

Because a “scandal” in which the IRS looked into Tea Party groups to see if they fit the criteria for tax exemption is totally at the same level as a national disaster with a death toll still rising.

Sadly, You Cannot Give $1 Million of Your Imaginary Powerball Winnings to Each American

mattbinder — Sun, 19 May 2013 16:25:00 -0400

“Almost everything you post on this blog is so terrible and depressing!”

Yes, I know. It’s a message I often receive on here. So, in order to combat the overwhelming sadness you all feel today from not winning the lottery or the news that Yahoo is probably buying Tumblr for $1.1 Billion (around double that of the $590+ million Powerball jackpot ONE PERSON from Florida won last night), I have put this silly little post together.

Here are a few actual kind-hearted people who would like to give $1 million to each and every person in America but are unfortunately not all that good at math.

If this all looks familiar, that’s because others were saying the exact same thing last time there was a large Powerball jackpot.

Here’s to investing in our education system!

Minnesota Now 12th State With Marriage Equality, Making It The Third State This Month; Homophobes Flip Out

mattbinder — Wed, 15 May 2013 21:46:03 -0400

That’s right! Except you forgot Delaware in between those two! Rhode Island, Delaware and Minnesota, ALL WITHIN ONE MONTH, have passed bills bringing marriage equality to their state. We’re up 12 states now. 12!

And homophobes, seeing that they are losing, are getting louder and louder…

#Nice #use #of #hashtags, #buddy.

I like how even amongst his own followers / friends the faves outnumber the retweets.

SWEET! Added bonus, Minnesota! You get a mass purging of assholes from your state AND marriage equality. SCORE!

lmao. Yes, this dude is totally comfortable with his own sexuality. He also believes gay males are lining up around the block to touch his completely 100% straight, totally not gay body. #2Cool2BeGay.

Where are the completely original, well thought out “it’s Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve” tweets, you ask? Right here, of course!

Nice profile pic, Carson.

lmao. Yes, gay people are God’s arch-nemesis and they hijacked the rainbow for their own dastardly deeds.

Good on you for believing in the bible, Sarah! So, shut your mouth, cover your hair, submit to your husband and stop wearing pants amongst many other things.

OK there, Buzz Lightyear.

How much “farther”? Hmm…

That’s right. Still a bit further to go. 38 states left with “normal marriage.” Old, boring, 50% end in totally-preserving-the-sanctity-of-marriage divorce, “normal marriage.”

Angelina Jolie Undergoes Mastectomy To Avoid Breast Cancer; Losers Mourn Her Boobs, Send Brad Pitt Condolences

mattbinder — Tue, 14 May 2013 21:44:00 -0400

In a piece for the New York Times, Angelina Jolie revealed she underwent a preventative double mastectomy. I’m not going to summarize it here because you should hear it coming from her. If you haven’t yet read it, you really should read it right now here.

Angelina Jolie shared a personal story in hopes of raising awareness on a number of issues, from the surgery itself to the affordability of the gene test…

…wait. what’s that coming just over those hills? Why, it’s the sexists and misogynists! Because you see WOMEN’S HEALTH is not about the WOMAN, people! It’s about the poor menz who are now ‘stuck’ with their (as in ownership of, don’t your forget it!) woman!

(Throw in a dash of racism with your misogyny? Hell, why not!)

Everyone couldn’t be the first to think of “poor Brad Pitt” like Josh above, but man did the tweets thinking of “poor Brad Pitt” keep coming…

…and coming…

…and coming.

“He lost *his* ‘tittays’.” Poor Brad Pitt lost something he apparently owned, Angelina Jolie’s breasts themselves! And, yes, people (i.e. virgins) mourned her boobs themselves as if Angelina Jolie was some sort of villain who had some diabolical reason behind doing this.

“I bet he wished he stayed with Jen now.” Oh, boy. You mean to tell me some losers used lower her risk for breast cancer as a way to attack Angelina Jolie over Jennifer Aniston?, you ask. No, I mean to tell you that MANY losers used lowering her risk for breast cancer as a way to attack Angelina Jolie over Jennifer Aniston. (And if you assumed there would be “karma” tweets, you assumed correctly!)

Here’s a slew of folks who think Angelina Jolie removed her breasts because she’s an “attention whore”! Because nothing says good publicity in Hollywood like already being a sex icon and then going ahead and having your breasts removed…

If none of the winners above quite did it for you, here’s a mish-mash of really smart people. Just replace “smart” with “dumb, thank you…

Yeah, Angelina. I can’t believe you didn’t even TAKE THE RISK OF CANCER just so Brad Pitt can enjoy your (which he owns, don’t forget) boobs while having sex. Because, don’t forget girls, you’re just sexual play toys for men and nothing more!

Too bad you got the story completely wrong. I call you a douchebag.

Yes, because without breasts, there are absolutely no good reasons whatsoever for a guy to stay with their significant other…

Yup. You hear that, ladies? Without your boobs / bewbz / tits / tittys / rack / fun bags / whatever other dumb terms these fine people use for a woman’s breasts…you are apparently pointless.

Except, you’re not. Screw these haters who’ve probably never seen a bare breast in their life. And good for you, Angelina. It’s your life and your body, no one else’s.

Happy Mother's Day! Love, A Bunch of A-Holes

mattbinder — Sun, 12 May 2013 22:17:00 -0400

Today is Mother’s Day! What did you do today for your mother today? Surprise your mom with flowers? Take your mama out for brunch? Or perhaps you used the day to…spread a bunch of hate on the internet?

There was a whole lotta’ that going on today. And I can tell you, no, it is not an awkward day for children whose parents are of the same sex.

But, unlike most, this fella’ just went on and on and on and on. For example:

Poor schmuck doesn’t even realize his crazy ass rationalizing of things doesn’t even make the tiniest of sense. “Kids” is already a gender neutral word!

No, it won’t.

No, it doesn’t.

No, they do have mothers and they don’t need your bullshit “prayers.”

Anyway, homophobic gay marriage haters weren’t the only one’s polluting the internet on Mother’s Day.

Conservatives thought it was the perfect day to…

make fun of President Obama’s deceased mother.

As @quickliftzwick on Twitter points out: as you can see, all those other Presidents’ mothers were born old. They totally didn’t do anything back in their youth, only Obama’s mom!

Anyway, fuck these people.

Happy Mother’s Day!

You're Not Cute. Have More Orgasms. "The 10 Things Women Need to Realize In 2013." (Written by a Man.)

mattbinder — Thu, 09 May 2013 22:06:51 -0400

So I recently came across this website, Elite Daily. It calls itself “The Voice of Generation-Y.”

The link I stumbled on was to an article titled “The 10 Things Women Need to Realize in 2013.” OK. Let’s check this out…

OH, BOY. What the fuck is this? The first photo attached to the article should have tipped me off, but I was too focused on the name of the author…

That’s right. EDDIE CUFFIN. A dude is about to lecture women on what they should “realize” in 2013. But, not just any dude. It’s says right there in his bio: “THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE OFFICE.”

Let’s take a look at a few of these “things”…

“Ladies, realize that in 2013, you are not cute.”

“Back to to the kitchen women and make me a sandwich.”

Well, shit. Thank you GUY for explaining this stuff to women! I mean, one of the points in this article was about getting men to “eat out your ‘box.’” And all that along with the objectifying pics? What would a girl living in the 1950s…err…2013 do without this article?!

But, don’t worry! Eddie Cuffin has got more for all of you seeking his advice. Gems such as…

“The 21 Signs She’s Expired.”

That’s right, girls. If you are over the age of 19 and 1/2, hang up the boots and please deposit yourself in the closest trash bin.

Misogynistic, transphobic AND he hates Mila Kunis! Eddie Cuffin is a catch!

What a gentleman.

But, don’t worry! Eddie Cuffin won’t leave you hanging now that you know your girlfriend is “expired” like the cold cuts sitting in the back of your fridge…

Eddie Cuffin’s gonna let you know how to cheat on her with “15 Steps to Successfully Cheat on Your Girlfriend!” Eddie says women are like chicken (expired chicken?) and stale bread! The man who wants to empower women in 2013 with cooking lessons and orgasms would also like them to know that their value depreciates over time (because women are nothing but a commodity, duh!). GIRLS, “you’re getting older and not getting any tighter” and by not stopping time you “compel” men to cheat! IT’S YOUR FAULT, LADIES…

“15 Easy Steps to Managing Your Mistress.” Fellas! Your pal Eddie’s got you covered here too! Because it’s 2013 (Eddie’s got a real infatuation for 2013) and as it says right there above…It’s that time in your life, and not just yours, everyman’s life where he ”GROW A SACK AND GET A MISTRESS.”

“Women lie a lot.” You hear that men? Women are EVIL LIARS. Why can’t they just be truthful while you lie and cheat on them?! GIRLS ARE THE WORST.

But, what if you fell for the evil voodoo women and she went ahead on her very own and decided to get pregnant (THE NERVE)? Don’t worry, Eddie Cuffin’s got you covered here too!

“Many poor men.” If only they had Eddie Cuffin’s brilliant mind and knew the “20 East Steps to Raising a Whore” so they could do the exact opposite!

Steps like…

Letting her get involved in fun activities like cheerleading and gymnastics! Only WHORES play sports!

Telling her she can’t date a black man! Because we all know women will go out and do the exact opposite! AND ONLY WHORES DATE BLACK MEN. (Eddie Cuffin: misogynistic, transphobic, and now racist too!)

Put her on birth control at 13! Because we all know girls don’t have sex UNLESS they are on birth control. No birth control, no sex, and there’s like no teen moms in 2013…the Voice of Generation-Y, people!

In case these listicles full of amazing advice weren’t enough for ya, Eddie’s got a Twitter account too! 140 characters of pure wisdom!

Eddie Cuffin of Elite Daily, folks! The Voice of Generation Y (Don’t Girls Like Me, I Am So Alone).

As I Lay Dying Singer Attempts to Murder His Wife, Metalheads: "She Probably Deserved It!"

mattbinder — Wed, 08 May 2013 21:52:47 -0400

Tim Lambesis of Christian metal band As I Lay Dying was arrested Tuesday night in a murder-for-hire plot. Apparently, he did the nice Christian thing and tried to hire a hitman to MURDER his wife, who was filing for divorce. More like As I Lazily Lay on the Couch While Someone Else Does My Dirty Work, I guess?

Anyway, what do you do when you hear about the lead singer of this band you like attempted to KILL his ex? Well, YOU BLAME HER BECAUSE SHE’S MOST LIKELY A BITCH WHO PROBABLY DESERVED TO DIE, OF COURSE!

Lots of very opinionated people out there saying “WAIT ‘TIL WE HEAR MORE BEFORE WE BLAME POOR TIM” and then proceeding to jump straight to the conclusion that his wife was somehow a terrible person deserving of death!

“Props dude for having the balls to hire someone else to kill your wife!”

And as usual, when it comes to ANYTHING being discussed on the internet involving a woman…

BLAME THE FEMINISTS.

Delaware Now the 11th State with Same-Sex Marriage. That's Right, Homophobes...DELAWARE.

mattbinder — Tue, 07 May 2013 22:20:00 -0400

OH, NO. What horrible, tragic event happened in Delaware today?!

A school shooting?!
A bombing?!
…two consenting adults being able to fall in love and get married?

Judging by the haters, looks like Delaware has become the 11th state to approve same-sex marriage! WOOO!

YOU HEAR THAT? ELEVEN. 11 STATES NOW.

So, go home, sucka’. 11 STATES. You can’t put a damper on this party!

Hopefully the world is coming to a place where people know the difference between “allowed” and “aloud.”

Yeah, dude! A SICK, WICKED AWESOME, TOTALLY RAD world!

I just explained above dude! Let me repeat: the world is coming to be SICK, WICKED AWESOME, and TOTALLY RAD.

I FUCKING LOVE TOAST!

Oh yeah! Rhode Island just did too! Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah, all these people are big assholes. BUT, no one touches Ben…

Ben, you really are Dewhirst.

"Happy Cinco de Mayo...Now, Go Home!" Says Historically Inaccurate Racists

mattbinder — Sun, 05 May 2013 22:43:00 -0400

Happy Cinco de Mayo! It’s the one day a year where most Americans, who usually complain about Mexicans and tell all the “illegals” to go home, pretend they are not racist! Why? So they could “celebrate” by getting drunk, of course!

However, here are a few party-poopers who can’t even NOT be racist for just this ONE DAY:

lmao. WHAT? Did you know today is NOT Mexican Independence day but a day which celebrates one battle where they defeated France? In fact, did you also know that today is actually a relatively minor holiday in Mexico? Cinco de Mayo is actually really just a day celebrated in the United States. So, quite literally, America is pretty much the ONLY damn place that cares about it.

I guess we should just bring up all the white people, who make up the majority of welfare recipients, on July 4th? USA! USA! USA!

#FreeJahar and the Case of the Mystery Backpack

mattbinder — Fri, 03 May 2013 22:20:00 -0400

Gather ‘round gang! Hop in the Mystery Machine! Don’t forget the Scooby snacks! Here’s the story of how Obama / the FBI / the Illuminati tried to frame poor innocent Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston bombing suspect, for the crime of the century!

And they all would have gotten away with it too…if it wasn’t for you meddling #FreeJahar kids!

Look how proud they are! They solved the mystery with only a bunch of pictures released by the mainstream media! The same mainstream media that they accuse of helping frame Jahar!

Anyway, there it is! A backpack! On the floor of Jahar’s room…in plain sight! And we all know that since the “one backpack per person” law was enacted, it is IMPOSSIBLE for Jahar to have owned MORE THAN ONE BACKPACK!

Yes, the FBI was able to orchestrate this whole big thing…but forgot all about the ONE and ONLY backpack!

Yes! How can the sole backpack, which cannot be mass produced or replicated , be in both places?! I SMELL COVERUP…

“Where IS the logic? Right there is NONE.” There’s no pulling one over on the #FreeJahar mystery crew!

How could Jahar’s friends hide / destroy poor innocent Jahar’s only backpack?!

Nevermind why would you even need friends to get rid of any item if you’re completely uninvolved and innocent…THAT doesn’t matter. GOD, PAY ATTENTION HERE SHEEPLE.

You’re right, Twitter user “JaharsInnocence.” Having more than one backpack? Unheard of! It just doesn’t make any sense.

Interestingly tweets cracking the case started disappearing from Twitter. (The FBI is removing them, obviously. Definitely not tweets being deleted out of sheer embarrassment of people making fun of them for their stupidity…)

Is this starting to make sense to you?

No? You mean you think it IS possible Jahar had more than one backpack?

Well, no shit. But don’t try to tell the #FreeJahar crew that! These kids are extremely bright and have done plenty of research on the Boston marathon bombing. They have found the PROOF and there is no changing their minds…

Oh.

Props to the hilarious @boring_as_heck for bringing the great #freejahar backpack truther conspiracy to light.

NBA Star Jason Collins Comes Out...and So Do The Bigots

mattbinder — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 23:44:00 -0400

We had some fun with hack “journalist” loser Ben Shapiro and expert on all things “hero,” Tim Brando yesterday. Basically, they were none too happy that Jason Collins came out and became the first openly gay man in not only the NBA, but in all of the major pro sports.

However, while Ben Shapiro and Tim Brando were cowardly hiding their homophobia behind the meaning of the word “hero,” many brave souls took to the internet to straight up call Jason Collins a “fag,” “faggot,” “cocksucker,” etcetera etcetera.

While there were hundreds and hundreds of tweets to sift through, here were the ones that stood out most. These tweets, to me, were louder then them all in proudly proclaiming “I AM A HOMOPHOBIC BIGOT AND AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH MY OWN SEXUALITY!”

The above two were the first to tweet “Jason Collins” and “faggot” in the same tweet! These guys were so quick to post, it’s almost like they were worried Jason Collins was about to come out for them too!

First thing mentioned in Matt Barber’s Twitter bio? “CHRIST FOLLOWER.”

lmao. ”JASON COLLINS, NOT ONLY ARE YOU A GAY MAN, BUT YOU MAKE A LOT MORE MONEY THAN I WILL EVER SEE.” Sick burn, dude.

“THANKS, OBAMA.”

A dude who goes by “ChampagnePapi” is most definitely, totally 100% straight.

Ah, the AIDS / HIV tweets. I feel like these are in a category of their own.

And now…TEBOW TIME!

Poor, poor Tim Tebow. It’s clearly so much harder for a white Christian male who plays professional sports to openly pray in public in the United States of America than for a black Christian male who plays professional sports to just announce who he is as a person and not do anything any differently in public in the United States of American. CLEARLY. I mean, if anything, these tweets just show how easy it is for Jason Collins.

Yes, those are the first two replies to Jason Collins’ tweet yesterday and the first two tweets you see when looking at this specific tweet. But…

Oh, it’s definitely cool…

…and they definitely are…

..and Jason Collins most certainly has…

So be afraid, homophobes.

Tim Brando and Me, We Come From Different Worlds. He Likes To Laugh At Me When I Use the Word "Hero."

mattbinder — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:27:29 -0400

“HERO” is a very sacred word. Ben Shapiro, right wing “journalist” for Breitbart, has a VERY HIGH BAR for heroism, as we discussed in this post earlier.

Apparently, sports commentator Tim Brando shares those sentiments with Shapiro.

Tim Brando would like to make it very clear…Jason Collins, the NBA athlete who just came out as a gay man in the world of professional sports, IS NO HERO:

Um, ok. I don’t even understand what I’m supposed to get out of that, except for that fact that a Tim Brando is absolutely correct…a Tim Brando sex tape would absolutely not make history, because no one would give a shit.

He continues…

Tim Brando is very good at pointing out the fact that he is horrible at analogies.

But, let’s give him another chance…

Uh, “it’s a choice?” I’ve heard enough…

But, Tim Brando went on and on about the word “hero” blah blah blah blah…

OK! We get the point. Tim Brando DOES NOT use the word “HERO” LOOSELY. It is the most serious word in the dictionary and should not be taken lightly! Only firefighters, police officers, military, etc. are HEROES to Tim Brando. DEFINITELY NO ONE ELSE…

Except sportscaster Curt Gowdy:

…and sportscaster Frank Glieber…

…and when you score one-under-par in a game of golf…

I repeat, TIM BRANDO DOES NOT FUCK AROUND WITH THE TERM “HERO.”

It is reserved for only the most heroic of people…

Jason Collins, first major sports athlete to come out as a gay man? NOT A HERO.

Darius Rucker, lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish? A MOTHERFUCKING HERO.

Hack "Journalist" Heroically Explains Who Is & Isn't a Hero

mattbinder — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:24:40 -0400

Today, NBA basketball player Jason Collins became the first major sports athlete to come out as a gay man. This is huge, especially in the sports world. It took a lot of courage for Jason Collins to basically put everything on the line and do this. LGBT kids now have an active role model in the sports world to look up to. In many ways, Jason Collins is a hero.

But, don’t you dare try and tell that to Breitbart editor-at-large, Ben Shapiro!:

So, I wonder who Ben Shapiro considers a hero? Surprisingly, for a word that holds such a high caliber of meaning to Mr. Shapiro, he sure seems to throw it around quite often.

Let’s take a look…

Failed Republican Vice Presidential candidate, job quitter & noted newspaper reader, Sarah Palin:

Failed 2012 Republican Presidential candidate, Newt “I’m On My Third Wife” Gingrich:

Texas Republican Senator and Tea Party wunderkind, Ted Cruz:

Tea Party favorite and former Republican Florida Rep., who threw a temper tantrum refusing to admit defeat when he lost, Allen West:

Failed 2012 Republican challenger for Sherrod Brown’s Senate seat, Josh Mandel:

Comedian Adam Carolla:

Comic book writer/artist, Frank Miller:

Conservative Hollywood filmmaker:

Conservative radio host, Mark Levin:

Right wing radio host, Rush Limbaugh:

Fictional movie character, Gordon Gekko:

Don’t ya’ll remember when Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Allen West, Newt Gingrich, Adam Carolla, & the fictional Gordon Gekko all valiantly fought at Normandy?

You'd Like To Be Paid A Living Wage?! STOP BEING A RADICAL BITCH.

mattbinder — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:26:02 -0400

Say you were a GOP Official in New Mexico & you’re listening to a 19 year old young woman testify in favor of raising the minimum wage.

What would you say?

Any of you correctly guess calling her a “radical bitch”? Anyone?

Because, as you can see, that is exactly what Executive Director of the Bernalillo County Republican Party in New Mexico, Steve Kush, called a 19 year old woman on Tuesday. The girl, a volunteer for labor advocacy group Working America was simply testifying in favor of raising the minimum wage before the county commission.

Apparently, simply advocating for a living wage makes you a RADICAL.

Oh, but it didn’t end there!

Apparently, you can’t advocate for a higher minimum wage for others if you are not making minimum wage yourself. Also, having a nice pair of boots automatically makes you well off. AND, she’s a girl, so Steve Kush just tunes out the words coming out of her mouth and focuses in on her looks.

Common decency to not ‘boo’ at someone speaking at a public forum? THAT’S NAZI TALK.

And finally, after numerous posts about being SO BORED and the public blowback that followed, Mr. Steve Kush issued an apology:

“[I] feel awful that I put my thumbs on the keypad of my smart phone.”

or, basically,

“My one regret is I said these things on a public forum. Next time, I call a woman a ‘radical bitch,’ I’ll make sure it’s not on the Internet.”

#ViolenceAgainstWomenIsWrong Trends, Guys Take to Twitter: "What About The Poor Men!"

mattbinder — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:56:27 -0400

#ViolenceAgainstWomenIsWrong was a trending topic on Twitter for most of the day. It seems to have started by online personality Luke Brooks. And good for you, dude! Domestic violence is very much an issue with an overwhelming majority of women being the victim. In fact, every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten.

But, as usual when any topic involving women and women’s rights comes up online, the sexist misogynist assholes come out to play.

I mean, after all, what about ALL THE POOR MEN!?!11!?

“Trendeh” seems to be another well known online personality. Except he’s a dick.

These just went on and one, hundreds and hundreds of tweets complaining “what about men’s rights? Huh? HUH?” I mean, of course, ALL violence is bad, but that’s not the issue. “Dude, why are you protesting the war in Afghanistan, ALL WAR IS BAD!” No shit, but that’s not the issue at hand.

But, don’t worry! There are guys (and gals!) out there who think women SHOULD get the shit kicked out of them!

Ah, yes! The “equal rights” tweets! If you’re not a dude who for whatever reason believes in a fantasy world where they’ll ever have not only a girlfriend, but one who is constantly trying to end their life…then you might be a “but you wanted equal rights!” douchebag! Or as one of my favorite hardcore bands, Good Clean Fun, once put it “You think equal rights, means equal hits…”

And as usual with women’s rights online, the “THANKS, OBAMA” of women’s issues, “THANKS A LOT, FEMINISTS…”

Poor, poor men. One day, their time will come.

France Legalizes Gay Marriage! Homophobia Is Cured...Right? WRONG.

mattbinder — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 00:21:33 -0400

France has just legalized gay marriage! Yay! Let me fire up the ole’ French-to-English translator so I can catch up with the celebrations over on Twitter…

Hmm…I wonder what that means…

“For a better world.”

Well, that sounds really nice. Maybe it means “Equality”? The answer must be in the hashtag. I mean, after all, #IlFautTuerLesHomosexuels is TRENDING in France. Let me translate that…

“Homosexuals Must Be Killed.”

OH MY GOD.

#MortAuxGay is trending in France too? Surely this must be some sort of protest hashtag supporting equality…

Oh, it means “DEATH TO GAYS.”

Ah shit, now they’re using #TeamHomophobe too? I don’t even need to check Google Translate for that one…

“Nothing says #TeamHomophobe like <3hearts<3.”

Oh, look I swear I’ve heard the sentiments in these next few tweets pretty much word for word somewhere else before…where have heard these again? Oh right, America…

Wait a minute, no way…the French use the crappy “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” slogan too?!

Let me Google translate that hashtag…“BURN IN HELL.” How nice.

But don’t worry France, homophobes from all over the world made sure to spread the stupid around…

Huh! What do you know? Homophobia is still alive and well.

The Definitive "People Who Thought Chechnya was the Czech Republic" Collection

mattbinder — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 15:31:00 -0400

Two brothers from Chechnya. That was the official word early morning on Friday April 19th, 2013 as to who were behind the Boston marathon bombings. “Chechens.”

So, naturally, who do some brilliant citizens of the United States of America blame? The CZECH REPUBLIC, of course!

Here are those Twitter users who are brave enough to still have their tweets up for all to see:

Here’s a guy who deleted his first tweet when he was called out…and then advocated for the destruction of the Czech Republic anyway!:

Here are a few more that deleted their tweets and thought they were forever wiped from the Internet (LOL):

To prove to you that this isn’t a “Twitter problem,” here are a few from Facebook:

Here’s a Facebook thread where mixing up Czech Republic and Chechnya is not the worst thing to come out of it:

Now, some of my personal favorite…conspiracy theorists who confuse Chechnya with the Czech Republic and connect it to the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas! WHY? Because there apparently is a large Czech population in West, Texas! DUH!:

Yes, “close enough”:

A user of Yahoo Answers, former capital of internet dummies, chimed in:

And I just want to truly thank this guy for making me laugh. “Czech Republicans” did it!:

Now, I know what you might be thinking, “Mr. Public Shaming Tumblr blog, why are you posting these silly things! No one took these people seriously!”

Well, the Ambassador of the Czech Republic sure did:

(Note: Thank you to this Storify and this Twitter user for pointing me in the direction of a number of the deleted Twitter posts. I was collecting a large number of tweets for different yet related posts, which will be posted in the coming days, and missed out on a few. The Internet has been a mad house these past few days.)

Boston is completely locked down as officials search for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, suspect #2 in the Boston...

mattbinder — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:19:47 -0400

Boston is completely locked down as officials search for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, suspect #2 in the Boston marathon bombing. Police have told people to stay in their homes as an extremely armed and extremely dangerous man now possibly wanders their once safe neighborhood.

Know what the people of Boston can really use right now? Gun nuts roaming the streets shooting every which way as they try and find this guy!

That is an elected official by the way. Nate Bell, Republican Rep. of Arkansas!

I wonder how many other people think absolutely no one in the state of Massachusetts and/or the city of Boston own guns because, of course, no one but liberals live there? Well, let’s take a look at a few more!
