The YouTube channel, Infinite Elgintensity, frequently focuses its not inconsiderable satirical skills on health-related issues, particularly in the context, as in the case below, of "body positive" activists who are peddling stupid and dangerous notions based on their own uncontrollable self-indulgence.
Warning! Bad language alert! When the subject of this video, Lizzo, gets wound up, she comes across like the chief ho' of a gangsta pod of blue whales. I can't believe they ever let her put that obscene pie-hole near the mouthpiece of James Madison's crystal flute.
Lizzo is really a nothing burger in the grand scheme of things; however, what I like about these famous, loud-mouthed nonentities is that their ravings often serve as the grit that leads to the creation of pearls of wit and satire by thoughtful observers.
Of course, the anger, self-absorption, and vulgarity on display are part of a much larger issue.
I have said this before, but seeing stuff like this makes me glad I live in the edge of a cornfield a hundred miles from that insanity. I just hope it spreads slow enough that I'm gone before it gets here.
ReplyDeleteI envy you. I might have to look into buying some raw land, myself. I'm a member of a shooting range here that may be closing down (the owner died and left the place to his four daughters; they've run it for a little over a year since the founder's death, but three of the four now want to shut it down and sell the property). Two other ranges in the vicinity aren't accepting new members, so I'd have to drive 45 to 50 minutes to get to a couple of other ranges that are open to new people. Personally, I'd prefer to have 10 or 12 acres out in the country somewhere where I could blast away to my heart's content.
ReplyDeleteWe are living in The Crazy Years. Robert Heinlein was a genuine prophet.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the recent surge in public craziness is likely connected to covid vaccines. Cognitive dissonance is setting in. People are freaking out that the Fauci junk juice is dangerous and they don't what it's going to do to themselves or their families. But they can't just come out and say 'I was wrong, I seriously screwed up when I got the shots.' That pressure is going to come out some way or another. Venting it on random strangers is an easy option.
