Why the fuck is Molly Sims A) ugly and B) always plastered all over hell like she's actually pretty? To say nothing of how fucking retarded she is?

The week wouldn't be shit without some random crap from Japanese tabloids.

Here's an artist's life that I could get into.

So you mean to tell me that with all the time that I've wasted pretending to be a girl in IRC rooms, I could have been making money doing basically the same thing? Oh, and I will never get over that term "soup man."

Finally, something new to think about on our next sushi outing or when we order takeout.

Way to go, Rush. Only Rush Limbaugh would "apologize" by saying "I must have been right about something." Gotta give Rush credit for sticking to his guns, and also gotta give him credit for being a stupid fucking asshole. Regardless of what Rush meant, it was a stupid thing to say.

It's pretty sad when a defensive end is calling you an idiot.

The shaping of young minds.

God has the last laugh. Or, this guy just had a heart attack and died. You make the call.

No fucking shit. I don't even want to know what this "panel" costed the taxpayers. I guarantee you, they could have gotten off cheaper by funding a couple of online shopping trips for me, and I could have given them a lot of the same conclusions.

Because "conflict of interest" has no meaning to this administration.

Okay, so I am not real thrilled with the NAMBLA and lolicon posts from earlier. I considered deleting them entirely, but since I've never done that even with some of my shittier posts, I decided to leave them. I'm not unhappy with the content, believe it or not, but I'm unimpressed with the piss-poor presentation.

What I wanted to say is essentially in there, I just did an awful job of tying it all together. First off, I think those posts probably sound horribly contradictory. Sex between men and "young boys" BAD, sex between men and "younger girls" SOMETIMES OK. The problem could have probably been rectified by clarifying what ages I'm talking about. With the "younger girls," I'm looking at like mid-teens on, and with "young boys," I'm talking about ages that people would definitely consider "children." Again, I'm not really doing a good job of defining things. It's kinda one of those "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it" kind of things.

In addition to being contradictory, I can see how the contradiction would look like a huge double standard. Furthermore, I could see where the NAMBLA rant in context of the lolicon rant might possibly be interpreted as homophobic. That definitely was not the intent. When I'm talking about men and those teenage girls, the same goes for men and teenage boys. Since the whole lolicon issue revolves around male/female relations, that's why the focus ended up there.

Also, I wanted to hit the fact that I get tired of groups like NAMBLA and pedophilia in general continually being linked with homosexuality, because that's a total bullshit link. I just couldn't find the right place to fit that in.

It probably didn't help that I did the posts back-to-back. If I were a good writer, which I am not, I probably could have effectively done them back to back and chalked it up to "technique." Technique was not in the muthafuckin' hiz-ouse today, however.

Hopefully that will clear things up, unless if by some miracle I was clear already. But probably not, in both cases.

Yeah, that's right, Netscape is going to help me get chicks.

This is laughable on so many fronts that it's almost not funny.

I was also thinking that the next time Chirac has a visit with Bush, Chirac should totally wear one of those "I fucked your wife" t-shirts. Yeah, that would so help reduce the tension between our countries.

Well, I'm going to continue the sexual deviant theme, and talk about something that comes up quite a bit with my anime hobby: the Lolita Complex.

Just what the hell is a "Lolita Complex," or as the Japanese call it, lolicon? Well, it's hard to get a real definition. Some people think it's flat out pedophilia. I more generally liken it to older men who are sexually attracted to young girls, where "older" and "younger" are rather nebulous. This can be the very adult Humbert and his 12-year-old Lolita, this can be a 20-year old and a 10-year old, this can be a 30-year-old and a teenager.

This comes up in anime so much since the Japanese are rather famous for lolicon (hence, their own term for it). There are frequently many "youthfully portrayed" (as one friend puts it) girls in anime, but even though it still creeps people out, it's much more accepted over there. Oftentimes you'll have female characters who are supposedly more adult (late teens, early twenties), even though they look like they're much, much younger. Like Ichigo from Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins. She's supposed to be 21, but she was in a "standstill" for 6 years which leaves us being told she "looks" like she's 15, when in fact she actually looks like she's 12. Sometimes they don't make this much of an effort, like with Chiyo-chan in Azumanga Daioh, who's 10 but in high school.

We had a quick debate one night as to who was more lolicon, Ichigo or Chiyo-chan. I say Chiyo-chan, even though she is presented in a completely innocent, non-sexual way. Clearly, a 10-year-old in high school is just inappropriate. Also, I think the subtle manner in which the character is portrayed makes the situation that much dirtier: it allows guys to indulge in their lolicon fantasies without feeling bad about it. Or, at least, it allows them to more effectively hide it from others. "I'm not fantasizing about her like that! I mean, look at how non-sexual the character's presentation is!" Sorta getting off track here, but you can see what life is like with my friends and me.

For a lot of people, I think there is just an automatic negative response to the thought of older guys with younger girls. However, I think this kind of fantasy should be more accepted. I know it's not gonna happen, but christ people, lighten up. It's just a well-known fact that many men are turned on by younger girls. I know people don't want to hear it, but that's just how it is. Sometimes the fantasy is disturbing, but it is still fantasy. The cycle is even more cruel as younger girls and women often go for older men (raise your hand, ladies, if you'd fuck Sean Connery).

Honestly, where the hell is the harm in fantasy? There's nothing wrong with fantasizing about or lusting after younger girls, just don't fuck girls who are too young. Besides, isn't it better to be having them fantasizing about someone younger or lusting after those anime characters instead of actually acting on those fantasies?

Fantasy often does become reality, and when it does, what is "too young"? Well, the laws have definitions for this, but I don't know if I always agree with those laws. Yeah, I know, I'm working myself into some real trouble here. Just bear with me, then criticize once you see how screwed up I am.

Everyone matures at a different rate, and if a teenage girl of reasonable maturity consents to sex with an older guy, where is the harm in that? Yeah, you can argue that the older man's experience and age can be used in a subtle yet coercive fashion, keeping it from being true consent. On the other hand, a lot of girls aren't fucking stupid, either. They have sexual desires as well, but we always seem to want to ignore or flat-out stifle that and think they're always daddy's little girl. For Christ's sake, those raging hormones are what the teenage years are all about, for both boys and girls. Doesn't mean that it always leads to the best choices, but it seems like it's made out to be even worse because we're so afraid of anything sex related.

I'm not trying to advocate a free-for-all on sex with younger girls, just a more realistic and healthy approach. Furthermore, I'm certainly not trying to apologize for men who take advantage of and/or sexually abuse younger girls.

I still haven't answered the question of "how young is too young, no matter what?" I want to say that things need to be taken on a case by case basis, but I know that's not a practical way to handle things as a matter of law. Of course, when we're talking the lower ranges like 13 and under, we can draw some clearer lines. If nothing else, though, I really object to the term "statutory rape." If you forcibly have sex with someone, it's just plain rape, and you don't need the qualifier of "statutory" because it's already a heinous enough crime. Of course, there's always the question of what true consent is, and if yes really means yes. I guess I'm not really helping myself out here.

This comes back to part of the NAMBLA debate. Does fantasy incite action? Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. It's really up to the individual as to how far they take it, but I definitely don't think you should be condemned until you take it to the point of inappropriate action. It's just in many men's nature to have naughty thoughts about girls younger than them. Whatever the case, good luck putting an end to fantasy.

I'm sure there's no secret at this point that I've got a lolita complex myself, given away by my schoolgirl uniform fetish mentioned in posts past, as well as this entire fucking post. I'm not embarrassed to say that I can look at a teenage girl and say that she's hot. There are plenty (but not all) of those "youthfully portrayed" anime characters who I find, um, stimulating. That doesn't mean I'm going to do anything about any of it, though, other than keep up the fantasies. Same goes for other guys. Some guys will do something about it, and in some cases, that's not so horrid. We just automatically want to think that the guy is some dirty older pervert (which he is) and the girl is just some innocent bystander (sometimes she is, sometimes she isn't). And of course, just because a guy finds interest in younger girls doesn't mean he exclusively thinks about younger women. It's all part of the wonderful world of maleness.

Whatever the case can we at least stop being so bloody uptight about it all? The attraction between older men/younger women is just a fact of life. As always, comments are encouraged (especially from women, if there are any left after this) to tell me whether I'm onto something, or if I'm just a sick fuck who's full of shit. I suspect I may get more of the latter.

I started reading PervScan today, which is basically a 'blog of sex-related news. The first post I read was one about how Amazon is in hot water for selling NAMBLA's official magazine. Ahhh, NAMBLA... A group near and dear to my heart. Or, as I prefer to think of them, Pedophile Assholes. What these pricks should really be calling themselves is Little Boy Fucker's Anonymous. Except for the fact that they're not anonymous, because everyone knows who they are and what they're for.

For anyone unfamiliar with how low humanity can be, NAMBLA is the North American Man/Boy Love Association. If you're thinking I made this up, don't feel bad. I had feelings of incredulity myself the first time I heard about them. But they are real, and they are sick.

It's no secret what these guys are up to and into: promotion of sexual relations between adult men and young boys. Again, people we refer to as pedophiles, or in some cases, Catholic Priests.

How do they get away with this bullshit? Why aren't they just arrested? Well, apparently, these guys are good at what they do, if even a U.S. senate committee doesn't consider them criminal (this, however, coming from a bunch of criminals known for protecting other criminals).

Unfortunately, the debate over NAMBLA is actually very tough, even though it seems like a no-brainer at first. I mean, we fucking know what the deal with these guys is. They want to fuck little boys, and oftentimes, they do. As we all know, however, that's not a solid legal foundation, at least not until the fucking part takes place. As an organization, they aren't criminal, at least not provably so at this point. Individual members, yes, are very criminal, but that isn't enough.

From what I gather, as an organization, this is just a group of men who get together to discuss fucking male children. It's not illegal to discuss this, anymore than it's illegal for the KKK to meet and discuss killing blacks and Jews. All of this is repugnant to the rest of us, but it isn't illegal to just talk about things. Free speech, after all.

This is where I really have a hard time, because it leads me to think that nothing should be done to NAMBLA from an organizational standpoint. It is protected speech, no matter how heinous the subject matter is. I have no problem with people who have fucked up sexual desires and fantasies, because I know I have my own share of sick fantasies, and so does everyone else (sexual or otherwise). As such, we've really got no right to judge and condemn what goes on in other people's heads. The problem is when desire and fantasy manifest themselves into real actions, which looks to often be the case for these NAMBLA assholes. These are the scary people; not the ones with sick ideas, but the ones who don't know right from wrong (or just don't care) and who take those ideas beyond talk and fantasy.

From here, the free speech issue becomes whether or not merely talking about something incites people to commit criminal acts. Honestly, I don't think that's the only cause of atrocious behavior. I think it can definitely serve as a catalyst, but when someone commits an act like sexual assault, I just think there is something miswired in their brains that leads them to commit these criminal acts, and that is the real root cause. The acts they perpetrate are ones which they are going to perpetrate at some point or other whether the catalyst arrives or not. Still, though, I can't help but say that this group is just encouraging things like the case of Jeffrey Curley, a story so awful that it produces a visceral reaction in me. Again, though, and god damn it, discussion and encouragement are not enough to get these guys off the streets and into jail where they can face rape of their own. And again, you don't deserve prison and rape just for thinking about something. Bloody hell.

This may seem somewhat contradictory to what I was saying about condemning other cultures for "barbaric" practices. If you think it's wrong, you should do something about it, right? Well, actions like stoning are just that - actions. I have no problems with what goes on in someone else's head, no matter how sick I think it may be, until those thoughts lead them to do something in real life. Yeah, sometimes those thoughts do lead to actions, but not always.

Also, if NAMBLA's magazine is just a showcase of "cute boys," is that much different from a lot of other shit we see? Think of all the "hot teen stars" we see in revealing clothing paraded around on magazine cover after magazine cover. Britney Fucking Spears, for Christ's sake. Thongs for 10-year-olds at Abercrombie. All of society is doing fucked up shit along the same lines.

Mainstream media and society, however, are not publishing things like "Rape and Escape." Does that cross the line of "clear and present danger"? I think you can make that case, assuming that this is actually a NAMBLA publication. By the same token, I'm sure you can make the case, once again, because of protected speech. You would have to prove that "Rape and Escape" directly leads to physical and psychological harm. So far, though, that's the only solid legal argument I can make, and it's not much. Otherwise, until they take some sort of action, there's nothing that can be done.

There is just no easy answer, and there are no clear lines to be drawn. Like always, I cannot come to a solid conclusion. But I just cannot let go of the fact that we know what these guys are about, and there's nothing we can do until it's too late. At the same time, I want to see principles like free speech upheld. I started this rant thinking to myself, "Fuck the ACLU for defending these assholes," and now I'm like, "Well, fuck, they are doing their job to uphold the guarantees of the Constitution." But, again, I come back to the fact that these guys are promoting sex with children, and the only possible true aim of that could be for members to then go out and do just that.

You know, why don't those fucking Christian fundamentalists do us all a favor and start bombing NAMBLA meetings instead of abortion clinics? You know, finally put their fervent energy to good use? At least the babies that get aborted won't grow up to be molested by these NAMBLA fucks.

Okay, it's time to stop. I don't think there's any coherency in this post; it's nothing but back and forth. Bottom line, NAMBLA: sick fucks, but can't do anything until they've actually done something. Until it can be proven that they have criminal intent (and I don't mean the shitty Law and Order Series), we're just going to have to live with it. Until they actually commit sexual assault, that is. Once they've done that, then I can make my feelings very clear: we should just kill the asshole, or put him into prison where he'll be raped, then killed.

And yes, I am just waiting to get more and more hits from pedophiles doing Google searches. That's my thanks for trying to hit the hard issues and for going after the sick fucks.

So there's a big story going down that I've been avoiding talking about. Yeah, it's the whole issue over the supposed White House leak that named a CIA operative, who just happened to be the wife of a former ambassador who came out against the Bush Administration's claims about Iraq trying to buy uranium from Niger.

I've been avoiding ranting about the issue because I knew that right away I was going to assume that something dirty is going down, and that I'm going to read nothing but a bunch of bullshit and lies that are going to piss me off. Well, after reading a post on the issue over at |now candy|, I realized that the bullshit is well past critical mass and it's time to get back into form.

Like I said, I'm just prone to think that when shit happens, the Bush Administration (BA) is up to no good. I can't help it. I naturally have a difficult time trusting people, and the BA has given me nothing but reasons to continue with that policy. This matter is no different.

But how the fuck could someone not be suspicious about what's going on here? I mean, c'mon. Joseph Wilson was sent to Niger to investigate what was later proved to be a false claim, one which Bush used in his State of the Union. This guy helped prove that the claim was bullshit. Well, from what I recall, he went to Niger to meet with someone who claimed to be able to support the uranium claims, but as it turned out, the contact was a rather untrustworthy character (I could be wrong, however). Also, there was the whole deal over the forged documents which "showed" that Iraq purchased or tried to purchase uranium. Long story short, the Iraq/Niger uranium connection was bogus. In addition to being a part of demonstrating all this, Wilson came out vocally in saying that Bush's claims were false.

Magically, it's this guy's wife who is exposed as a CIA operative. Who else would have the motivation to do something like that besides the BA? Furthermore, who would have the connections to even know that she worked for the CIA?

More magic, and people in the media claim that their source of information on Wilson's wife came from within the BA. Of course, the media could be lying, but it sounds like a decent number of people are making this claim. I guess it all comes down to who you believe.

Still, the fact of the matter is, a serious infraction has occurred, in which the wife of a vocal critic of Bush's Iraq policy has been exposed to be working for the CIA. Again, I ask, who would be motivated to do commit such an egregious offense? I know it's a pretty simplistic route to take, but it does make a lot of sense: if the BA was the source of the leak, they were clearly sending out a message to anyone who might fuck with them.

Who the hell was the source of the leak, anyway? Lots of fingers are being pointed at Karl Rove. Again, no proof, just speculation. Valid speculation nonetheless, because everyone knows that Karl Rove has his hands in everything. When I talk about Bush, his policies, or what he's up to, I'm really just using "Bush" as shorthand for a group of people, which prominently includes Rove. It is easily conceivable that Rove and other high-ranking White House officials either orchestrated this whole affair, or at least had some involvement in or knowledge of it.

Naturally, the investigation into this will go nowhere. Bush "welcomes" the probe, because it's being run by the Justice Department at this point, and he knows that Justice will never serve up justice if any of Bush's people are at fault. I'm real sure Asscroft is going to work hard to investigate, accuse, indict, and convict if indeed anyone at the White House is responsible for this whole affair. When the Justice Department tells the White House and the CIA to start preserving documents, that's just the signal for "start destroying evidence now."

The only way to get to the bottom of things would be for an independent investigation to take place, one not under the auspices of Asscroft's Justice Department. My guess is that it either won't happen, or the independent probe will be as effective as the September 11th Commission that really got to the bottom of things. We'll see how things go.

More visits from Disney today. It's probably their lawyers, just looking for everything they can to fuck me since I used their company name once (well, like three times now). Or, as possibly implied by that e-mail yesterday for Disney DVDs, they're just looking for a way to cram Disney stuff down my throat.

I am so fucked.

As it turns out, my suspicions were correct and those bogus comments that had a URL and popped up a window were what helped bring the commenting system down for awhile. The comment caused a porn site to be popped up, then it tried to install some kind of dialer.

I know that I got those comments deleted fairly quickly: I left work, and they weren't there right before I left, got home ~1 hour later, they were there, and I deleted them immediately.

Since this was the issue, as opposed to something like the guy who runs the service had his machine hacked into, there's no real impetus for me to change commenting systems. Something like this could happen on any commenter, I believe, if someone makes a post with a URL that pops up a porn site and tries to install something. I'm not sure how it automatically popped up that porn site, though, but I'm no web expert. Also, since the site then tried to install a program, I don't see how the fuck that installation would take place unless if the user somehow confirmed it. If nothing else, you'd think web browsers would have some kind of setting for "do not run arbitrary executables without asking."

So, if something like this happens again, the best I can do is just remain vigilant and try and get shit like that out of there ASAP if it happens again. Since my OCD requires me to be constantly monitoring e-mail (where I'm notified right away of new comments), I should be able to handle things fairly quickly, unless of course if I'm asleep. In which case, install a pop-up blocker of some sort! Believe me, you'll be doing yourself a favor, and not just for when you visit Fuck Everything.

Oh, and a big shout out to my late night friends who are at "work" (they know who they are, and this is one of them). According to the latest stats, you guys now account for more visits to my site than me.

Hey, what are some alternatives to "shout out"? I hate sounding like I'm on TR-fucking-L.

Here's an update on the "progress" in Afghanistan, coming from someone who probably knows a thing or two about foreign relations.

Comments are (obviously) back. Of course, now I'm nervous about this shit happening again. I hope no one experienced any problems, and I would hate for people to experience problems in the future (besides the normal suffering that goes with reading this shit) or feel nervous using comments at all.

I'm thinking about switching systems yet again, but that's gonna suck, because I don't know how easy (if even possible) it would be to migrate already existing comments. Also, since BlogSpeak is run by a guy who's doing this on his own time, and when he switched servers a few weeks back, I donated a little to help out the effort. It wasn't a ton, of course, but I did chip in something, so I'd hate to ditch the system now. I'm always looking for free shit, so the one time I pay something, I'd like to get some use out of it. Of course, just because I switch doesn't mean that there won't always be potential issues, since there is no practical 100% safe point when it comes to computer security.

Another thing I've been toying with is setting up a message board. Again, I'm only gonna give money if I think it's worthwhile (namely, like someone doing it as a hobby), so I'm looking for something cheap, it not free. Anyone out there know of any free message board hosting, or had any good experiences with setting up their own message boards?

MIT has started a program called OpenCourseWare, where they make entire courses (notes, syllabi, assignments, exams, etc.) available online. They've fired things up with around 500 courses online right now, ranging from engineering to liberal arts. I was disappointed, however, to see that there was no category for "creative writing." I have it on authority that this is an actual major at MIT, made up entirely for this one stupid kid who was there only because he was a legacy.

Why is it that satisfaction like this only happens in fiction?

While we're on the subject of random visitors to the site, someone got here thanks to a search for "safire cosplay." For all the shit I've given William Safire, I didn't know he was a cosplayer. Maybe it's time to give that man a second chance.

Someone (or maybe a couple of someones) from disney.com visited Fuck Everything. Depending on just where at Disney they work, this site may have been quite different from what they're used to seeing at work.

At first, I thought they may have gotten here because of my Anti-Disneyland comment (which is originally attributed to this guy, who is actually better at finding shit online than I am). As it turns out, one of the disney.com visits was yet another leech from lovefury. I was expecting the cease-and-desist orders at any moment. Well, I'm still kinda expecting it.

Fuck, as I'm writing this, I got some spam from buy.com advertising Disney DVDs. I think I'm fucked.

I remember an article in SI couple of years ago where they played out a fantasy world series between the BoSox and the Cubs (Cubs won in 7), and this year there's a chance that might happen. Yeah, a remote chance, but somehow the Sox and the Cubs are pennant and potential World Series contenders this year.

Can you imagine what would happen if both teams made it to the series? There'd be suicide pacts, and both cities would go up in flames once the series ended, regardless of outcome. But man oh man, would it be great.

Other than that scenario, I don't really care what happens to the Sox, but it'd be beyond everything if the Cubs finally won after a 95 year drought. I wouldn't even care that us Cub fans wouldn't be "special" anymore.

You see what I was saying a couple of weeks back about kids being tough?

Seriously, how the fuck did this happen?

While we're on the subject on viruses and other computer malfeasance, I saw this posted over at Xset a couple of weeks back. It's free antivirus software, which might be worth a look if you don't have any running. I haven't tested it out yet since it's for Windows, and I rarely use Windows (and I'm not trying to be a Linux asshole here, although I have been known to do that... and I'll admit that when I do boot Windows, I get lazy and don't check for viruses and other shit very often).

If you know of any other good software like this, post a comment about it. Oh, wait. Fuck.
