Hey, AM radio stations everywhere, remove Centerfold by the J Geils Band from your playlists because - *hitches breath and ugly bawls* - I'M OFFENDED! The tune is a how-to and paean to incels (word du jour) everywhere, especially those with a raging Madonna/Whore complex. I'm just off to Change dot org to start my petition now. So, wait for it, peeps: soon to appear in your timeline and inbox - a petition started by your blogger calling for the banning of the song Centerfold for the reasons stated beforehand.
And don't I just sound like the most asinine twatwaffle going?
But this is what happens, people get offended by something and call for it to be banned. Latest one is the bride costume for children that K-Mart was 'forced' to withdraw from their shelves, because some woman in Melbourne likened it to the hideous practice of marrying off young girls. Um, what? It's a freaking COSTUME! Does this mean kids who dress as vampires and zombies are validating the insidious practice of sucking people's blood and eating people's brains? Look, nobody in their right mind is in favour of child marriage, but why in the blue blazes can little girls and boys not dress up in a bridal costume if they want to? Yes, we want to see an eradication of the paedophilic abuse of children, but banning a fun costume is not the way to go about it, okay? It's just Dumbarsery 101. And fuck you, Kmart, for capitulating to what is just pussy-arsed sookery.
And speaking of dumbarsery, we cannot let this post go by without a mention of Peter Dutton, who stated the IS brides should be DNA tested to determine their Australian citizenship. Wait, what? DNA testing will determine ethnicity and genealogy. It doesn't determine citizenship - that shit's documentary and can be determined via a search through the appropriate bureaucratic agency. Seriously, Dutton, did you not listen in Science lessons? You must have sat up the back of the lab squashing flies in those oppressively heavy missal text books we used to have. You're kind of in my age bracket, so I daresay you would have had those books, too. And when you squashed those flies, you probably experienced a malicious glee because you were harming something that wouldn't hurt you, nicely prepping you for your future career torturing children in detention centres.
Well, that's enough. I've been terribly busy lately; contacting libraries and book clubs, and hearing back absolutely zilch. I've also been teaching English to ESL students and young 'uns, and must say, am totally adoring it.
But I have been getting good feed back on Howling on a Concrete Moon, and you can check out the link to the first chapter right here, and if you are of a mind, purchase it.
