Whiff. Please stick to links from msn.com.

a quick burrito search would note that burritos have been done out of hand many times over and its always the same, while the demand in most of our cities for burritos is quite high all of the burrito places outside of so cali blow. I don’t’ understand how that can be given the cheap ingredients and unskilled labor but its probably explained by the same phenomenon by which Coltrane is able to hang onto sequels despiute the diminishing returns he provides.

I agree with Bilmore on this, and I repeat what I said yesterday - go fuck yourself. My apologies to Dick Cheney for stealing his line.

• Fashion's Attempt to Erode Morality
  
  Ryan Thompson, August 11, 2004
  
  While doing some shopping for college over the last month, I have noticed some disturbing trends in fashion along with the usual attempts to erode morality from our culture. I am not a believer in conspiracy theories, but it’s clear as crystal that the social issues of the day are being driven by fashion designers and the decadence of Hollywood. So what are examples the attempts to morally erode our society? The yearly decline of fabric on female garments and the feminization of male clothing are a pair of examples to fit my determination.
  
  Most of the people who know me have heard my positions on why females are “special” in a moral sense. I always like to make the comparison between females and their angelic existence in the eyes of God. Of course not all females act angelic; if they all did we would not have to discuss this issue. Part of understanding their “special” traits is having knowledge the sacredness of the female body. Overexposing the female body undermines the “special” factor and most fashions today do this without a second thought. This problem falls on the shoulders of both males and females. “Popular” culture dictates to males that we should expect girls to show look like a Barbie doll. Many of my peers have been indoctrinated in this mentality. Girls in turn recognize that most guys want girls who are in my opinion nothing more than sexual exhibitions so they try to be as good as an exhibition as possible. By showing males that their idea of the female beauty is acceptable, girls are reinforcing the flawed mentality.
  
  Modesty is the best policy. It should be fundamentally understood that beauty based on how much cleavage a girl shows, but it’s based on respecting their “special” status while looking their best. Modesty is the best policy.
  
  Males should not wear pink. In modern history, the color pink has been reserved for females, and it has fit nicely with their angelic existence. Males did not wear the color pink because of this. If you walk into clothing store today, around half the clothes in the male section are pink. The traditionalist that I am is deeply bothered by this trend for two reasons. First, I think that there is a movement afoot to undermine the idea masculinity. Second, more disturbingly, it is a sign of the pop culture’s attempt to erase the “equal but different” philosophy. These movements are united the dream of having a society where the sexes lack distinct responsibilities. Once the idea of distinct responsibilities is plundered, the objective of the feminists and militant gays will be achieved. Their movements cannot exist in their true form in a society that recognizes “equal but different” in regards to the roles of males and females.
  
  These are the two clearest methods of the fashion world trying to corrupt our culture. Their attempt may not be obvious to the untrained eye, but for those who observe these trends it is pretty clear what’s going on. Eliminating the “special” status of females, emasculating male traits, and blurring the role of the sexes are their goals. Remember tradition and stand firm in its defense even when buying clothes. Most importantly, respect yourself and the others around you.

If you're like me, you read this and thought to yourself, how can I find out more about Mr. Thompson and what structured-learning program he is enrolled in? Wonder no more.

This is beautiful, Ty. More layers than an onion. Why couldn't you post it early in the day?

On the site itself, poor Ryan's posted example of moral decay in fashion (other than the creeping advance of pink) was this:



That's demure just when compared to Gwinky's (fabulous new) avatar.

I knew yesterday was an anomaly. This is more like it. Bring on the hot torsos.

OK, Gwink, you definitely get the award for avatar of the year.

Well, it's good to know that the cultural differences between this country and some in the middle east aren't as large as i had earlier suspected. I'll be buying my burka straight away.

Ryan Thompson is clearly onto something:

"Okka Rau." That is so hot.

As if the beach volleyball dancers weren't enough, get a load of the Olympic mascot. It's like a next-generation Joe Camel. I wonder if NBC ran it past the FCC.

So, so many problems with this.
1. Grammar
2. Pink. Pink? Pink was prominent in the women's section this last spring. He clearly has been shopping in the women's department - or has been watching too much Miami Vice
3. Barbie fascination. After age of 14, not a problem for those who have moved out of the trailer park. Find a woman with a brain who will beat you down like the dog that you are.
4. The feminizing of men's clothing. So anything less than a blue pinstripe and wingtips is feminine.
5. Revealing clothing. Been around for centuries. Get used to it. You know in some cultures they have nude beaches. NUDE BEACHES! What heathens they must be.

Where the hell did you get this and why hasn't someone kicked the shit out of this guy yet?
