Congrats on getting out of your hole.

More importantly...fuck you guys.

No, not you guys, on second thought, fuck the goddamn media.

Since last night when they started pulling you poor bastards out of that hole, it's been non-fucking-stop bullshit about you guys and your hole. The last time a bunch of guys and a hole got this much fucking attention, Madonna was involved (it was her hole, after all).

I know it's not really your fault, but I've been hearing the exact same bullshit about how dangerous it is for you to come out in that little elevator doo-dad, and heat stress, and regular stress, and panic attack, and embolism, and diabetes (I guess one of you had it...OR HAS IT NOW???), every half hour for the last twenty four hours that I've made the mistake of putting the goddamn idiot box on a mother-fucking "news" channel. You know why "news" is in quotes? BECAUSE THE SHIT STOPS BEING NEWS AFTER TWENTY-FOUR GODDAMN HOURS YOU FUCKING ASSHATS, AND STARTS BEING "OLDS."

Then FOX fucks up and pre-empts tonight's Red Eye so that I can hear, for probably about the fifteenth time since they started...thankfully, of course, since you getting out of the fucking hole means that at some indeterminate date in the future I won't have to hear another damn word about you being stuck in a hole...every stupid thing that was said during the first hour they started pulling you out of that God-forsaken abscess in the earth. You want to know what the real kicker to that is? I'll tell you: the real kicker isn't just that it's the same drivel, it's being repeated by the same one-or-two "experts" that have been flapping their gums since this started, and are apparently only taking breaks for brief naps and Valium injections.

We can't get coverage of our dillhole fucktard legislators taking votes on legislation they admit to not having read, or other things that said dillhole fucktards and others of their ilk are doing up here that have an actual impact on our lives, but you guys down there get caught in a cave-in, and I can't get the fuck away from it.

We couldn't have at least gotten one of your relatives doing some sort of broken English asshattery that our internets could have morphed into "backin up, backin up, backin up...cuz my daddy taught me good" or "they rapin' everyone round here?" No, of course we couldn't have gotten that, because apparently you guys in Chile still have dignity and class. Do us a favor and make that one of your major exports, could you?

That being the case, please accept my apology for the earlier 'fuck you,' as well as my respect for keeping your heads on straight and knowing your jobs well enough that you could save your own asses, which is an extremely Y-Chromosome way to be.

As for you "journalists" and "experts," take a long walk off a short cliff.

Your Pal,

Obligatory "u mad bro?".

he said hole.

9 level 90s and 10 85s, Damn I need another hobby.

The infuriating part to me was the way they were covering it. THey had flashy graphics, with counters and timers.. shit, it was like playing WoW.
They seriously had an updating graphical counter of "Miners Rescued: " and "Miners Left: "

It was like doing a fucking quest in WoW.

Miners Rescued: 13/33

Fuck that. And a timer showing how long since the operation started, updated every second. Is that necessary? Is that news? They also had a spinning 3d graphical map of THE SURFACE. THE SURFACE. Seriously? Who cares.. nothing interesting happened on the surface in this event.

I hate the news media so much.

hahah what if the thing broke on the way down to the last miner?

My personal favorite was the one miner who had like four different women trying to claim his benefits.

This is par for the course, pick an issue(that isn't really an issue) and blow it so far out of proportion that it makes the Staypuff marshmallow man look anorexic. Give it a few weeks more and it will be some other non-issue hogging up air time and keeping John Q Public focused on everything but the shit that matters.

IF ONLY THEY DEPORTED EVERYONE ILLEGAL LIKE THAT

You know, it's been bugging me recently. We really love to complain about our legislators not reading every bill they vote on (or filibuster with malicious intent but no reasoning), but we (general "we") are content to sit on the forums while at work. Now, I love slacking as much as everyone else, but why not extend the right to do a half-assed job to the people who make the rules (though they'd probably fuck it up even if they devoted all the time they're being paid for to it)? It's only fair.

I mean, no one told them when they ran for office that their job description was "read thousand page bills and then get mired in debate over the actual merits of proposed legislation." They were all expecting "do nothing until the 3 months before the next series of elections except enjoy corporate kickbacks while petitioning for said corporate demands."

I expect you all to vote for me by the way. I'll promise a lot and deliver nothing (except more children to the poor).

Moved this to Argument Station as it is a current events discussion and therefore more suited for Argument Station.

moved it back because no one reads the Argument Station and I want my post to be seen by all.

you'd be running against me, and because i'm older, i'd be the incumbent.

I'll take Vice President. Then I won't even have to pretend I misunderstood; my actual job description is "cannot under any circumstances do anything ever unless someone manages to knock off el presidente" which we all know is impossible if you're the president.
