He had it coming: an ethical dilemma

Mar 04, 2009 14:41

OK, I know that I'd like to punch this guy in the face, but I'm not sure why. Is it his latent anti-Semitism? His desire to co-opt a culture for personal gain? or does he just richly deserve a punchin'? Help me out, loyal readers!

I think stupid investments are their own reward.

My take.

Besides, Christians already have their own salt, but I like the line "at least Lot's wife is putting herself to good use," from the Boing Boing comments.

He's just got it coming. Right along with those idiots who take it personally if someone wishes them "Happy Holidays", the jerks who are saying that the Massachusetts marriage lawsuit will never fly because the DOMA is "meant to protect children and families", and anyone who believes they're under attack whenever they find out that someone else has a different religion or none at all. Here's to coldcocking whiny, checkbox-pious, high-handed little shits everywhere, or at least pretending we would if we could.

And with that, I'm going to go beat up some mud.

I don't know if I "take it personally," but I prefer not to be wished a Merry Christmas, because of the underlying assumption that I'm about to celebrate Christmas, just like every other red-blooded monogamous Christian American. I realize that most people celebrate Christmas or something similar, so I don't begrudge people the assumption, but at the same time, I don't like it when people look at me like I'm a freak when I say, "I don't celebrate Christmas," in response.

I love tangos.

I think my favorite part is the future plans if the salt takes off. Christian rye! Christian dill pickles! Christian bagels!

How about "Christian National hot dogs - guaranteed to contain pork" ?

or some yummy Challah-lujah egg bread?

Oy gesalt.

That in fact was the worst part in my opinion as well. Not just the Redneck-from-Central-Casting pronouncement of "Hey! I ain't gonna use noe o' that thar Jew salt" but rather the more mercenary "Well, if people will by mah good Christian salt, that must mean they want to get rid of them Jews in the bread and pickle aisle of the grocery store too! Just like me!"
