Offendotrons* 'objectification' obsession...

---

Protein World's ad has caused the usual uproar** and - as is often the case - "punters are actively purchasing the products the campaigners want banned, as a sort of protest against the protest" writes Martin Daubney at Brietbart; "So it is that, in an era when most life-threatening problems have been solved in the West, Social Justice Warriors construct and angrily confabulate new, First World Problems... ...It’s become something of a 24/7 Twitter soap opera, an X-Factor for the perpetually offended: a constant, noisy audition to a global network of like-minded Offendotrons..." [*borrowed that! Thanks].

"So, in affirmation of all the campaigners haven’t learned since the days of 1920 Prohibition and through punk rock: controversy and banning orders create demand and shift units."

"We've added 5000 new customers. Sales are booming" say Protein World (male bodies on show too). They're only trying to help: it's all about nutrition; they also have a Little Black Dress challenge (PDF). Excellent!

Things of beauty to be appreciated all your life; something to make your's and other's lives better; things that will make everyone happy...and a beautiful girl in a make-me-horny dress to attract your attention. The Ten Cannots: lessons that Ed and Ed and their tribe of lying hypocritical [and in some cases downright evil] shysters should learn:



You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.

You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence. And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

Obscurantist obloquy...

“Si un hombre fuese necesario para sostener el Estado, ese Estado no debería existir; y al fin no existiría.” Simón Bolívar ("If a man was necessary to sustain the State, that State should not exist, and in the end would not exist). With these words Panamanian ambassador Guillermo Cochez ended his speeech [pdf] to the Organization of American States (about which he said was "a dead tree on the plain: that does not collapse, but it has no life.": edited 5pm!); he had stunned the diplomatic world with...the truth. Deemed (scroll down for story) a 'polemic against the government of Venezuela and the OAS itself over the delicate subject of Hugo Chávez's health' it was a perfectly legitimate attack on the Bolivarian Republic's lack of provision of information on Krusty's health status, quite rightly pointing out that this sows doubt and feeds rumors which "can not and should not be the practice of democracies or democratic people.". Venezuelan arse-hole Roy Chaderton then called Cochez and his words 'ghastly morbidity', 'perverse beyond bad', that Cochez was mentally ill, full of human misery and that he was "neither a politician, nor a diplomat, nor a gentleman, you are a lout." Cochez responded - again truthfully - that those with no adequate argument always resort to insults (a common lefty trait I must say). For this, Cochez gets sacked [ESP] [ENG], and Chaderton is congratulated for telling the truth with dignity and intelligence! Bizarre, unbelievable. Again, a big hat-tip to Daniel.



Update 5pm: and the official oddity of the signature is now shown to be clearly fake.
