South Park and Reality

   Last week the new South Park game was released: The stick of truth. I am not going to go into details of what the game is about, but knowing its a SOUTH PARK game you kind of know what to expect. Anyway, the problem arises from the fact that the game is 18 rated BUT it is still censored in the UK. Wait....not the USA- where they have all those ridiculous laws(and let's be honest-they do get anal probed at the airport!) ...it is censored in the UK.
   Basically try and look at it through my eyes- I am 22 years old, all of my friends are in their early or late 20s, however they cannot play the full uncensored South Park version because well....I don't know.

   I will give an example with COD: Modern Warfare, the game came out several years ago (rated 18 of course) and a particular scene pissed off loads of mums- in that scene you were an undercover agent planted into the Russian mafia or something and you were at an airport with all your Russian pals. All of a sudden they all started shooting at the civilians. Most of the gamers I've talked to said that they all shot at the civilians at the airport. However the mums were so pissed off about THAT particular scene that the makers had to put a warning at the start of the game.

WARNING: A really bad scene will be following- do you want to play it or skip it?




   So here is my point: What REALLY grinds my gears is that in realistic games like GTA and COD you still have the option to run over people and shoot unarmed civilians at the airport, BUT in a silly PAPER CUT OFFS series like South Park you cannot play a scene where a non-realistic looking character get an ANAL PROBE by the aliens............ Just listen how ridiculous this sounds. I will say it again, I will also include pictures to emphasise my consumer's opinion.
THIS GUY HERE

 GETS AN ANAL PROBE

 BY THESE GUYS HERE


   Did you see how silly it looks. But I guess the governments of  UK, Australia, Germany and so on thought that it is their DUTY to protect 18 and above aged citizens from seeing an anal fucking probe taken by aliens on a paper cut off character.

Inspirational Speeches

There comes a day like yesterday, where I get upset and disappointed. What I do after days like that is to sit down and watch inspiring speeches by people I love. They help me get through days where I've lost faith. I would like to share them with you. 




 1. Bill Hicks




2. V for Vendetta



3. John Fitzgerald Kennedy



4. Charlie Chaplin




5. John Lennon






And this is how those 5 speeches get me through a rough day.

My pals: the Jehovah's witnesses

   We all have heard of the Jehovah's witnesses. Mostly by stories or scenes in movies where they knock on your front door and try and convert you into their believes.

 


   So here is my personal experience with them. I woke up early one morning, the time was 12:34. As usual I made myself a morning coffee, a drug I cannot start my day without. Just as I was sitting down I hear a knock on my front door. Usually I ignore people knocking on my door while I am having my coffee, because I am still in my PJ's and clearly NOT wearing a bra and my 'last night' make up had made it's way all over my face. Anyway, I decided to open the door this time, because I had a cigarette last night and I was still feeling quite chilled and thought to myself- hey, why not!

    I opened the door and to my surprise there was an old man accompanied by a young girl, both looking normal (which is quite rare for Scotland). The guy asked me how I was and handed me a leaflet with a picture of the world and headline saying 'WHO DO YOU THINK CONTROLS THE WORLD?'. Underneath the question there were three answers

1. God
2. The People
3. Someone else...

   The second I saw the answer the third option I said - SOMEONE ELSE! It's the top 6 richest people in the world that actually control them through money. The have enslaved the people with money and control everything in this world.

   Of course I knew that my answer was not expected, because the reply I got from the Jehovah's witness was a blank face. He then took a breath and said- what about God? And that was the moment I lost all faith in the Jehovah's witnesses. They were not here knocking on my door to ask for my personal opinion or to hear what I have to say. All they cared about was TALKING about their stuff and trying to convert me?

   So when he said- what about God? You don't think God controls the world
And I said that I do not believe in god, because I studied philosophy and psychology and I have made up my mind that no judgemental bearded man lives in the clouds.

   However, the old Jehovah's witness persisted and kept on asking: What about the REAL God, the good one, the one in the bible?
I did not hesitate for two seconds and replied- Oh, you mean the one that hates FAGS and don' think that rape is a crime... Oh OK. Well no, I do not believe in him either.

   And that is when the old man just looked at me with such pity, it's like I was a lost sheep.
Well OK, we will be on our way then....


   I closed the door thinking 'I might be lost, but I am definitely not the sheep here, pal'.

Remember Remember the 11th of September

I will go on and say it here, on this useless blog space. But at least it will be out 'there'. 


   Many of us have seen V for Vendetta, or at least read 1984. If you haven't, I do not know what you have been doing with your life and I do not want to know. If you have, you can (with no doubt) see the similarities between these fictional stories and what is happening right now in the world.

   The government is corrupt. But you know what we do, we consulate ourselves that a system (either government or society) cannot exist without corruption or evil. That is the worst part - we haven't even tried to create a system of fairness that can accomplish good and honest government and society. The idol of V is an idol holding an idea that things can be better, and until they are not better we should keep trying and trying. Never consulate ourselves that things are the way they are because there is nothing better. But how do you know without trying?!



   Guy Fawkes was trying to change things. Even if you think that Catholic state was not going to work and you don't agree with the gunpowder plot, it doesn't really matter because you will never know. Without trying you can never know if there is a better choice. That's why people celebrate the 5th of November (at least the sane ones), they celebrate the idea that a normal person can overthrow a corrupt government. We can learn a lot from this story, but if you want a more clear version you should watch V for Vendetta.

   The famous 5th of November is a fundamental part around a film that inspires rebellion against corrupt government. So this is where I want to introduce THE 11TH OF SEPTEMBER.

WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE BRAINWASHED!!!







Remember, Remember The 11th of September


   What happened that day, we all know that it proved to us all the conspiracy theories behind a corrupt global government were true. We finally had our prove. One thing I want to ask.... why do we still have the same government in control even though we have the prove!!! It is because people morn the deaths of thousand of peoples and blame it all on Islam and terrorism (quite generalised, but who are we kidding- it is the truth). We should, however, in the future celebrate the 11th of September as the day we finally took down the corrupt government and created a PEACEFUL world. It is that easy. Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
