Bullshit Keeps on Coming

When I was growing up, there were only 2 things that meant anything to us for entertainment and knowledge.  Naturally Comic Books ranked first on the list. There were Super Heroes and we believed everything we read. Of course several years later we realized that was all bullshit and simply filled with fiction.

      We then graduated to newspapers and realized this was the only source for Truth and that we were able to count on the news for an honest unbiased factual read of all the news.  Well, several years later we realized that was bullshit as well.

    

    

 Along with newspapers, we saw this thing call magazines all over the place.  Hard to believe that at one time these were mailed to us and available at book stores and Supermarkets.  But we soon realized these were filled with bullshit and the News magazines were obsolete about the same time they reached the news stands.

        We are now witnessing the demise of newspapers.  After all, they have become semi obsolete as well because of the time line. Additionally, the amount of bullshit that is written for the sake of selling papers has grown out of proportion.  I read the NY Post in the morning, which is nothing more than a continuation of the comic books I read as a kid.  Actually, I think some of the pictures and print were taken from some of the old comics. Naturally I read this on my IPad, which has also put an end to most newspaper delivery routes.

       
      So now we are all caught up with how America (and the rest of the world) get's it's news.  It's available 24/7 and almost all of us see it on our smart phones, IPads, or any hand held device we have.  It's amazing how quick we have access to everything.

       Which now brings me to the story of the Colombian Hooker who single handed has shaken up the Secret Service.  So far at least 8 secret service agents have been fired as a result of this. You have all read the story of how one agent spent the night with her (sleeping?) and then not paying her for her services.  This in itself is grounds for dismissal.  But here is the irony of the whole fucking story.  She has not been questioned by the Secret Service, because they don't seem to be able to find her. Shit ........The Secret Service Agent found her in a bar in a matter of minutes...WTF is wrong with this picture ????  I thought Comic Books were entertaining....I later thought Newspapers were entertaining........But now I seem to find everything is entertaining...... You can look in every aspect of your daily life and see how really insane things are.
        I began writing Cynical Ridiculous and Pathetic   aka CRaPUSA just for fun.  Now, when I read stories like above, I am convinced there is a little bit of CRaP in all of us.

Comic Books = Newspapers

Is there really a difference between Comic Books and Newspapers ?????   A little later I will fill you in on this continuation of laughter from when we were kids to when we became adults.

I Hate Junk Mail (Orig Posted May 12, 2010)

(This is a fun re-run)
I really hate junk mail. Those idiots that keep sending it to me should be shot, raped, beat up, sodomized, punched in the face, and when all of that is done they should be forced to read every single page of all their dumb ass junk mail.  Being one of those geeks that pay all bills on line and do almost everything on my computer or I pad, I very seldom make that long journey to the lobby for the sake of getting my mail. (I live in a high rise) To be perfectly honest I usually get a call from the front desk person telling me the mailman asked him to call me in the hopes of emptying my mail box.  When that happens I force myself to make that long elevator trip to the mail box.  This 2 minute ordeal usually occurs once a week......Soooooooooo today the call came and I am now looking at 7 pounds of fucking stupid junk mail.. I have coupons for Papa Johns, , mufflers, car wash, Kaiser university, dish, american express, comcast, several local newspapers, Costco coupons, real estate junk, and I am sure you get the picture.  But alas...... I have this thing for Victoria Secret where I can get $10 of a bra of my choice and next month get a Free VS Undies Panty.  The bottom line is that I really don't want any of this stuff.
     For years now I have been very serious about stopping junk mail.  Whenever there is anything from a retailer with a telephone number they will surely get a call from me.  It's much easier on line when you can spam it.  How many trees are now sitting on my desk????

      Well, I have done some research and found a couple of sites that give links and information on how to get rid of junk mail. I guess there are other people like me.  The following are some links that might be helpful if you feel like me.  Privacy Rights Clearinghouse is a good one.  Then there is 41 pounds  which is kind of interesting.
     I am only venting now, but feel pretty good.....Actually I now feel as though I am performing a public service bringing this up and standing up for the Green. Wow, public awareness coming from me.......OK, so if each an everyone of the 2 people that read this blog worldwide make 2 phone calls tomorrow to cancel 2 pieces of junk mail from something visible, we will be on our way.
      At least all of CRaP is recycled.
