Oh. Joy. Noting the Arafat baby-wipes meme which seems to have infested the gated-community warblogosphere, Amish Tech Support uses the terms "Napkinhead" and "Palestinian Asswipe". But, you know, it's not racist, because Arabs aren't a race. Jews aren't a race either, so I can call his bitch ass. . . ** WARNING: Emergency self-protection system engaged ** LOAD "*", 8, 1. . . Backup personality install complete . . . and Kids' WB showed a whole bunch of Powerpuff Girls cartoons on Saturday! I love that show. Buttercup is my favorite. And Shonen Knife did a song about them with a video and everything! Posted by Aaron
awww c'mon aaron, everyone knows racism and xenophobia lead to that wonderful jingoism that is necessary to win a war...especially a war without a nation to battle. what's wrong with you? Don't you know we can't beat the gangrene gang unless we make fun of their health problems and bad skin conditions? posted by Jason
Jason, I remember an episode of Space: Above and Beyond (hangs head in shame) where the characters come up with a snappy little slur to use against the invading alien hordes. Someone suggests "chiggers". If I was writing the show, this would have been the point where the only black character pulled out her rifle, shot the guy in the face, then looked around and asked sweetly, "Were there any other suggestions?" posted by Aaron
