Rand Paul vs. Chris Christie

Reading an article on how these two have been exchanging a verbal war of words, including senator Paul calling governor Christie "king of bacon" (which admittedly he looks like, along with Mafia kingpin or villain on a The Dukes of Hazzard ripoff), and then how the two are calling for a diplomatic thing with each other, with Paul even saying he didn't pick a fight when that's exactly what he did, it reminded me of something. It reminded me of two of any guys that i might have encountered in junior high school having an argument. Like the two guys, one's a meathead, the others some jerk, they start having a verbal fight with each other and then are told by the adults to apologize, and the one guy who picked the fight outright says he didn't want to pick it since the other's also a jerk. And these two are high-ranking contenders for the presidency in 2016, instead of maybe getting together for that beer summit, then drinking too much and being too hung over to get to their offices.

Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines video

It's been out for several months now, but two things, one I didn't know Robin Thicke was white/Caucasian, and two, here's an approximation of the thoughts of most males aged 13-30 who saw the video (I say "most" in a very loose sense here): "this is completely wasteful, why are these guys cavorting around with the nude models instead of letting us get a a fair chance to have sex with them?" I assume that's what they were thinking, based on the popularity of the video, the neurochemical state of their brains, etc.

Summer 2013

Lot of strange things happening in twos this summer, train derailments in Canada and Spain, plane crash landings, sex scandals involving politicians either as mayor or looking to be mayor (Anthony Wiener and whatsisname in San Diego). it's been strange to see a pattern forming, but of what?

European racism as of late (a question)

What's with all the racism in Europe? Seriously, what is with it, after centuries of racism in colonies and such, and other events such as World War 2 and the Holocaust, why would people think that it's a good idea to do things like having a senator in Italy compare the first Congolese minister to an orangutan (besides being incredibly offensive is geographically inaccurate to say the least, since orangutangs are from Indonesia, not the Congo area of Africa), or to yell slurs at futbol players for their skin color? It might be a small crowd amongst the giant populace, but you'd think that after all the years of how it goes so horribly wrong and such would have sunk in by now. But then, maybe stupidity and hatred will always exist in humanity. Why?

Victoria Jackson (a not-very-serious post)

Victoria Jackson, comedienne turned Commie-hunter, I would state that she is psychotic, but that would be an insult to people who suffer from psychosis as a result of a number of psychological and neurological afflictions. But she is insane, or some other term describing whatever the heck she does and sees, it is a tangible fact. There are a ton of stories about her already the last few years as she's joined the Tea Party, and yelling conspiracy theories and accusations out her mouthhole, and I have some stories I've heard from the bylines of Hollywood, such as one time she changed a baby's diaper on an agent's desk, while they were working at it. Due to various reasons, I cannot or will not name where I heard that story, all I will say is that you live in Los Angeles and know one or more persons in the film-TV industry, you eventually start to hear things. But I'm really writing this post to say that I really want to send her a bunch of materials(films, books, etc.) of a suggestive, erotic, offensive, or otherwise anti-her nature. Just to mess with her and subvert her world for a laugh. I can't do that myself, but I will suggest anyone reading this, if you have the money and time, to mail her that stuff, turn this into a campaign of sorts. And if I can politely ask, spread the word on Twitter or something, take a photo of yourself with the materials to mail, something that shows you were involved with this prank, and also name this website if it becomes big news, so that I may bask in the infamy. 
Here's a list of suggested materials to send to her (find the address yourself, I'm not getting in trouble for posting all her information and inciting people to action against her, that's VJ's own job):
Um, I guess that's really all my ideas, but use your imaginations. You could send copies of Das kapital over and over until they pile up, or subscribe her to various magazines such as Mother Jones (would need some hacking or forgery skills for that, mind you), I leave it entirely in your hands.

Also, I was going to mock Chicks on the Right, but all i could think of is the simple declaration that they're just over-privileged rich white women who prefer to drink cosmos, get their nails done, shop for expensive impractical clothes, and put a show about themselves and their right wing views online like they're sincere, nice, and concerned, when they present themselves arrogant, can't talk anymore, starting to question my own sanity in writing all this. The world just gets frustrating, and I start acting like this.

Politics question

Why can't we have a porn star actress as First Lady of the US, or in general someone who does not look and act as a very old girl-next-door, or a younger model of smiling happiness and chicness? Why not someone who doesn't fit any of the molds of previous First ladies, like a pro dominatrix, or a former centerfold, or a feminist leader, or someone like Harley Quinn on Batman? Or even a male, when's the first gay president going to be elected, or lesbian president, it's all, so, behind with time and logic, the United States.

A list of hosts and other suggestions for Saturday Night Live's 39th season

First off, that it should be the final season, since NBC is losing the evolutionary arms race and changes of television, but that they also use this as an opportunity to make the show go with a bang than a whimper, like diverting money from pilots that won't last two episodes to fund like, 30 episodes of SNL, each given more time to be funny.
Now the hosts:
-Lewis Black
-Neil deGrase Tyson
-Barack Obama (sitting president hosting)
-Dolph Lundgren
-Adele
-Gilbert Sheldon (underground cartoonist, to see what'd happen)
-Sergio Aragones
-Anyone from a Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie

Final episode: A giant reunion of SNL alumni still alive (minus Chevy Chase, due to his homophobia, and borderline alcoholism, which reminds me of an incident where I was touring the Community set at Paramount on Melrose, I saw Chevy Chase and said something like 'oh my god, you're Chevy Chase!", because that was pretty exciting to see a legend in any case, and he had a half-empty bottle of wine and just was startled, like he was about to have a heart attack.) doing classic sketches and a bunch of new ones, before a final goodnight form the cast. And then hives of killer bees are released into the studio as the credits roll. What, you wanted it to be a sappy ending with no gag or anything?

Reader suggestions are most welcome, since I know there's a ton of stuff that could be done, for example I could only think of one female host, so please, comment away.

My life at this point

Is this where my life is now, too tired to stay awake, too awake to fall asleep, reading pages about examples of "Cowboy bebop at his computer", bitter about Comic-Con's server crashes and not getting tickets, after midnight when no one will read it except on the other side of the planet? No jo, no plans for the future, comics conventions and chic geeks  selling out, films that exist in a paradigm of "fun and serious" i can't figure out, it hurts, a lot.

What's with Florida?

Seriously, what the frak is up with it? Political corruption, race-related shootings and tensions, guys forming thousands of PACs then disappearing like Batman, destruction of the Everglades, past things like the cocaine smuggling, seriously what is with it?

Richard Cohen On Zimmerman and Martin

I almost wasn't going to post this, due to a variety of factors, such as a cat who wanted food despite a recent breakfast (I can't figure out how he's so hungry throughout the day when he eats enough for 3 cats a day, a lot at earlier meals), and a general pessimism that's taking over my trains of thought over films and their reception this year, but I will. earlier today, Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen (not to be confused with the other million famous Richard Cohens there are) wrote an editorial about George Zimmerman being right to judge Trayvon Martin since he was black and wearing a hoodie, and then a bunch of stuff about young black men being the center of all crime or something. This is very much stupidity, which we've seen is already present in this case and series of events, and a stereotype that reminds me of the racial tensions of 1968 (I've been reading a book on that year again to compare and contrast with today). Don't know if it's an apt or appropriate analogy (the idea that he's still stuck on the phrase "Up against the wall, motherf***er, this is a stickup" would be intriguing to accuse him of), and in any case race is not a biologically or generally valid concept, but, um, what was I saying.
Oh yes, my cracked crime survival team has come up with a new field guide to criminal types based on how Richard Cohen was thinking, for all your going-abouts in dangerous crime areas. Here's what they came up with: ***

***Due to the potentially offensive concepts and very racist things that would have been said to mock Richard cohen but probably be taken out of context or taken meaning I'm a racist, the field guide will not be published. And for you racists out there, get with the times, you jerks.

The George Zimmerman verdict

Very surprised by that, and how the whole frenzy over the trial happened, but only advice is to work on the justice system in Florida more, and to ignore George Zimmerman, like I said, no matter what the outcome of the trial, he was an idiot, he is an idiot, and will be an idiot until he dies in obscurity or at the hands of the New Black Panthers, whichever happens first. Now go to sleep.

On Immigration Debate

People in power for centuries have hated immigrants and been prejudiced against others. For example, while there's a lot of current things about immigration from Mexico, but American power players have hated other "foreigners" and people of such, like the Irish in the 19th century, the Chinese, Japanese, so-called anarchists and nihilists, heck it'd be prudent to suggest that SB1070 is like a modern-day Exclusion Act. Man, there's still a ton of racists out there.

More on the 2000s

Don't miss that decade, i sincerely don't, and here's more reasons to it:
  • The uproars and fanning of what was called a culture war when one didn't exist.
  • The rise of the superpundit and pseudo-experts, selling books demonizing others or doing sound-bytes that seized your mind so you shelled out cash for their terrible advice.
  • Gossip and secret talk by people you thought were nice or good people.
  • Spider-Man 3
  • The way ethical and moral and other issues were talked about like they were permanent when research shows that in 3 years they'll be replaced by something else and become a product of the times rather than timeless.
  • The lack of oversight and effort given on a lot of the teachers and students in the LAUSD.
  • Reality TV that was scripted compeltely.
  • The status quo of political divide.
  •  The chaos of pop culture academic blogs that just write essays terribly that possibly started with the aftermath of The dark Knight.
  • The rise of spree shooters.
  • Gel-spiked hair.
  • Materialism.
  • At this point I'm typing on fumes and what-not, bye.

1000 views

What happens when this blog gets to 1000 views? Does that mean Google will start looking into it more and perhaps make sure it's not advertised solely on shady sites that disappear when you check the URL?

To anyone about the title

I've changed the title from The Warped Twisted Whatchamacallit Mind of Nick Scroggs to the Warped Mind of Nick Scroggs, because frankly the joke was worn off of it, and the new title matches the URL better. Thank you for your cooperation.

A bunch of topics in one post

  •  Why do people like hunting for sport, what's gotten from shooting an animal that isn't trying to kill you, or isn't needed to kill for food?
  • Idea for petition: Taking money from corporations such as Monsanto, BP, General Dynamics, Bain, and so on, they don't need obscene amounts of capital and cash.
  • Idea for petition: A program to exponentially expand zoos and zoological societies, turning zoos into giant environments for species to survive for generations, and the societies to get funding for cloning and reviving endangered species, such as the grizzly bear.
  • International preserves for wildlife that exist out of national jurisdiction, and rules so poachers are thrown into a radioactive waste dump for the rest of their lives.
  •  Increased colonization of space, a serious expansion into space.
  • Total protection of indigenous and native populations and their rights.
  • Ban the use of animals in circuses.
  • Stuff I don't get:
  -Why someone would want to engage in acts like oral sex or anal sex or any other acts in general.
-Why there seems to be nothing about how the mechanics and dynamics of sexual action works and form a continuous paradigm that keeps functioning over millions of years instead of being regarded as stupid as soon as one sees it.
-Why it(sexuality) has so much appeal despite it being freaky and weird and gross and disturbing when you see it or worse experience it, and being forced on us from within the brain, aand the rebellion of the body to the personality, and the possible theoretical explanations not matching up with what is in practice.
-Why I can't control it despite it being not part of my personality or anything, and should be nonexistent as predicted, but instead has me making bad decisions in pursuit of sexual activity.

To anyone in Egypt

If you're in Egypt, and you see a sexual assault happening, because there's a ton of them during this crisis, I recommend you just attack the attackers and kill them, just kill them, end the problem of revolutions and coups doing this in recent history.

2 questions

Why in the 60s did they used to haul TV stars into recording studios to sing albums? And why did they name an Italian cash-in film Black Emanuelle when the title character was Indonesian? (You spend enough time out on vacation, soon trivia like this becomes your focus.)

More things and people I want gone by New Years 2014

  • Erick Erickson
  • Orly Taitz
  • Joe Arpaio
  • The Kardashians
  • Gordon Liddy (from wannabe espionage yes-man for Nixon to telling people to shoot ATF agents in the head)
  • Frank Luntz
  • The ruling family of Saudi Arabia (taking a centuries-old religion and twisting it to allow abuse of women)
  • The military coup leaders in Egypt
  • The president of Syria
  • Actually, that's all i can think of.

Media being called stuff

I don't know why after films come out, they are often called mindless entertainment, or wish-fulfillment fantasies, or stuff like that, stuff that never once crossed my mind when I saw them.Is it a mental deficiency I have, or the wiring of the human brain being deeply flawed, or something, I'm not really sure.

As Fourth of July approaches

  • I'm sick of patriotism.
  • I'm sick of nationalism.
  • I'm sick of war, of violence across the world on a course to apocalypse.
  • I'm sick of the state of international relations, where psychotics are in charge and want to kill each other for resources like this is 2 million B.C.
  • I'm sick of humanity's self-assuredness in the face of so many thigns going wrong and their own mistakes, as well as grander schemes of things.
  • I'm sick of ignorance.
  • I'm sick of stars and stripes and fireworks.
  • Im' sick of people, with their pettiness and opinions and hate and enjoyment and indifference.
  • I'm sick of extremism and oblivion.

Letter I sent to Wired

I am writing to complain about the latest issue of Wired,and its state. Because you guys have basically become a joke of Wired, and publishing things like Adam Savage and Angry nerd, and the way you speak of "pop culture" like trailers with no respect except your own evil amusement, you guys don't take anything seriously unless it's about your private files and the government. Plus, there is no straight technology anymore, you guys are of lifestyle now.
