Weiner: Who Cares? Should You Care?

(Originally written 6/6/2011)

Considering the fact that I am new to the world of blogging, hubbing, or whatever you care to call it, allow me to start with a disclaimer.

I am not a fan of politics, pop culture, or the media. I couldn't even tell you the difference between a Democrat, a Republican or a Liberal, let alone all their sub-genres. To me they are all corrupt, lying, two faced parties with no concern for the True benefit of the people, themselves not included. For that reason I am going to attempt to maintain a wide perspective on this piece, and keep the politics at a minimum.

As of today, June 6th, 2011, here is a quick synopsis of what has gone on recently:

A U.S. politician by the name of Weiner got busted for showing his wiener (sorry for the pun) on Twitter. Not even fully, apparently he is a fan of boxer-briefs.

Some other guy over seas is under gunfire by the media for accusations, I repeat, ACCUSATIONS of rape being held against him. From what I can tell, if the poor slob and the woman really did do the naughty, then it likely wasn't done with one of the individuals consent. However, I must make my point clear, these are just my own personal thoughts and this by no means is me writing the guy off as guilty. ***Edit: Turns out the nasty old freak was indeed guilty of some twisted behavior and tried to skip the country.***

Now, to reach further back, let us recall the mishaps of Schwarzenegger, Tiger Woods, and even the pimp of pimps, President Clinton.

Dear gods! Is America really that slutty? More to the "t", is the whole world that horny? Well, I hate to break it to you, but yes... yes we all are.

There are ONLY two reasons why I can see it being necessary to publicize matters of this nature. Those reasons being a true crime against an individual or individuals such as rape, or if government funds were used in order to make these passionate moments happen.

I get that shit happens. I mean, if I posted a picture of me in my underwear on Facebook I am sure it would cause a stir. Also, in the case of Clinton, it was out of his control when what's-her-face went to the press about having his cum on her favorite dress.

Regardless, the media wouldn't cause such a stir over these lapses of self control if it didn't sell papers and generate hits on their websites. Therefore the problem, my friend, is you (speaking loosely and generally).

Is it really any of your business who is fracking who?

Oh, these people are "role models" or trusted elected officials of the state?

Gods save us all if your role model is a guy who is good at lying or swinging a stick at some balls.

Allow me to turn the table for a moment.

I am sure there is someone in your life that looks up to you, someone that trust you. If not, I pity you. However, if you think hard enough, I am sure you can find someone.

Now, how would you like it if I sold a picture of you passed out drunk, swimming in your own vomit to the local news papers, only to see it everywhere you go. Or perhaps the girl you just got done glazing the moment before you collapsed in the pool of your own bile went to the press and they printed her story about you. Suddenly your children, your friends and family are absolutely ashamed of you. Some wont talk to you, others laugh when they see you.

I bet you would be outraged. I would be. They had no right to publish that. You never hurt anyone but yourself. What's the big deal?

Now you have to go home and explain to your spouse what you were doing last night, and explain to your kids that you are a weak person and you screwed up. You might get lucky and your spouse stays with you and forgives you, but most likely you will end up unemployed, divorced and battling in court for a chance to see your kids once a month.

These people are held at higher standards you say? Do your kids know who President Clinton is? If they do, do you think they look up to him more than they do you?

I hope for your sake that they don't.

The fact that the world and particularly America is apparently obsessed with who's fracking who is asinine. That is the only way I know how to put it.

So, next time you pick up a newspaper musing over the newest gossip in Hollywood, I want you to think about all the dirty little secrets you have and how they would effect those you love. Drop that horribly put together mask of purity you wear, it stinks of sex and booze.

Politicians and celebrities have bananas and peaches too. Just because they are on TV doesn't mean they are any less human than you or I.

Here's to you Weiner!
