Happy Pride Crasstalk! Of course you can’t have Pride Week without the obligatory pack of assholes that always emerge anywhere people are trying to have a good time and enjoy life. Let’s meet this week’s first jerk.
Our first winner (?) hails from Kentucky, try not to look surprised. Meet John King, a man who protested this Friday’s Pride March because gays being gay is going to doom the white race. I’ll give him credit for the fusing of more than one offensive idea into one set of crazy.
Of course he has a website. Of course he has a podcast. King is also known for protesting a Trayvon Martin vigil, claiming that most white-on-black hate crimes were “staged events.” Neat. Here he is in action:
Next up is anyone who is connected to this mega-irritating advertising campaign that has returnedt to befoul our airwaves once again. This makes me want to die.
A special nod to Armond White, an arts reporter for City Arts, a free arts weekly published in New York City. In a column this week White writes a pretty crazy piece about how everybody hates Adam Sandler because of some conspiracy by politically-correct social elites. You see, Sandler challenges their cultural dominance, so we are not allowed to like him. Really? I thought it was because he destroyed The Longest Yard, one of the greatest sports movies ever. Chris Rock, you are also on notice for that one.
Anyway, bonus points, it was reprinted on breitbart.com because that site’s readers are utter morons, but even many of them seem to think the whole thing is pretty stupid. Honestly, I am not even sure if this is serious or really weird satire.
Finally, a Lifetime Achievement Award goes out this week to former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky. This week a jury convicted him of 45 counts of child sexual abuse that spanned years and involved numerous boys whose families trusted him. As if this wasn’t bad enough, Sandusky’s adopted son came forward in the final days of the trail and accused the former coach of abusing him as well. Enjoy dying on prison, asshole.
A special thanks to Rhino this week for bringing Mr. King to my attention.
Know someone who is such an asshole that they deserve an award? Email them to me at [email protected].
