Monday Mission

I did this, because some silly wench didn't update the 7 on Sunday which I love doing on Mondays. Wah!!!
This is last week's btw, cos it looked, as Mr. Proops would say, funner.


1. The North Carolina Press Photographers Association (NCPPA) recently took back a photographer's three awards when it was learned that he had digitally altered some photos. Do you think it is "unethical" for newspaper photographers to use PhotoShop to alter the images they capture? Should journalists be held to a higher standard?

Now here is an interesting question. I have to say that I would agree that altering a picture that has something to do with a news story (not celebrity photos...put simon lebon's head on some hot naked guy..I don't care) is wrong. It can distort a person's perception of the event depending on what the photographer has done. I'm not saying that they shouldn't clean up photos if it's necessary, but lord knows what some people will do for a story.

2. On the flip-side of journalistic integrity, several newspapers are choosing not to run the Sept. 7 edition of "Doonesbury" because it mentions masturbation. I just don't care for Doonesbury anymore, but it made me wonder how much progress we've really made as a society. Is masturbation a bad thing? Even in the times in which we live, is it something that can't be spoken of still? And just for grins, do you really believe people who say they've never done that?

Masterbation Masterbation Masterbation. I would think that in this enlightened age (ha ha ha) we should be able to speak of it, if we want to. If this were England, that comic would probably have seen more print. Only in America, where we are closet prudes, do we censor something so trivial. Ooops I didn't know we couldn't talk about sex! What was I thinking? Oh and anyone who says they never have done that...is most likely lying through their teeth.

3. If you had the power to be the Webmaster Almighty, what one thing would you eliminate entirely from the World Wide Web?

Oh geeze just one? How about the Porn sites that send out all those spam emails that make me want to kill people a few zillion times a day. I think that would reduce my day to day stress!

4.Did you grow up in the same town when you were young, or did your parents move around a lot? How do you think that impacted your life? Has it had any affects on your adult life?

I was born and raised in the tiny hamlet of Charleroi on Mon River. I still live in that tiny hamlet. I don't think it's had any affect on my adult life, other than to give me proof that stupid people live in the Mon Valley. But wait, I've stayed in cities for days at a time and guess what! Stupid people live there too. I can now appreciate the fact that stupid people in a small towns are annoying but in a more tolerable redneck kind of manner. Stupid people from cities need to be put away.

Ok..so I guess I can say living here has made me appreciate small town stupidity!

5. Who deserves to be called a Liar to their face? What would you say to them to publicly humiliate them? ("Liar, liar, pants on fire...")

George W. Bush...no if's ands and buts about it. What I'd say to him?

Weapons of Mass Distruction? I don't fucking hardly think so...you ass munch, where are they hiding them, up your tushie?

6. How do you picture Heaven?

All my concubines sitting around waiting to serve me. Sigh...oh and some harp music too...

7. Who do you hope to meet in the afterlife?

If the afterlife is kind to me, I'd like to meet the family members that I didn't get to know while they were alive, or didn't get to know because they had passed on, before I popped into this world. I'll also add a handful of celebrities if they can spare me some celestial time...(particularly George Harrison)

BONUS: When you�re gone how can I even try to go on?

I'm sure you'll survive..go buy a donut and coffee...you won't even miss me.
