Junk Activism

Protests against Regis Philbin by the Dominican communities are up in arms against Regis today after Kelly Ripa told a story about a student of hers saying elephants represented Republicans and donkies represented Dominicans.

Regis responds: “She’s pretty close.”

A Dominican-American group is demanding an apology from the show, claiming “host Regis Philbin practically agreed with laughter over what the two thought was a joke.”

Um.  It was a joke. It was a slightly clever morning baner about children using the wrong words.  Game shows have been made from this amusing phenomenon.

So listen up, because this is pure semantics, people.  He was not calling you an ass.  Regis is aware of your activist nature and he was defending you and in fact threatening the perputrator of such ignorant comments on the behalf of children worldwide.  What he was really doing was giving a warning to all little girls about the sensitivity of Dominicans: “She’s pretty close to getting her ass kicked by a large group of pissed-off Dominicans who do NOT like to be mistakenly compared to donkies by children.”

So Dominicans, throw Regis a Lifeline this time. We must STOP THE CHILDREN.

Controversial Christian broadcaster Dr. James Dobson’s nomination for the National Radio Hall of Fame is being challenged by gay segmentation groups like “Truth Wins Out” and the “Gay Liberation Network” who have decided to form yet ANOTHER organization called the “Dump Dobson Coalition”.

I must say, good job Dr. Dobson!  Starting a radio show that gets the support of hundreds of thousands is a great accomplishment.  Getting a spot in the National Radio Hall of Fame is a great accomplishment.  But you’ve reached the pinnacle of controversy when you have a hate coalition named in your honor.

Really, McDonalds?  You sell the cheapest, crappiest food the world has ever seen.   You refuse to refund a friggin’ sandwich after insulting a gay man and look what you’ve brought onto yourself.

Ronald, I ask… have you not seen the “LGBT” parading the streets in droves?  Have you not seen the streets of thousands touting rainbow flags across the country?

Ok, I’ll admit it.  I’ve got nothing on this one but have to mention it, if anything for noble cause because I’m a big supporter of education.

Parents of a special needs kid in the Puyallup School District are protesting the district because their son is being issued janitorial work like scraping moss off of sidewalks, doing yard work, and picking up trash after school.

Really…what kind of blow-off is this?  Shouldn’t these teachers be showing him how to use a computer, how to speak, or some worthwhile social skills instead of putting them to work for The System?
