This might seem random, but in my opinion evil smiley faces are absurd because they defeat the entire purpose of smiley faces, which is to make people happy. When I see this picture, all I want to do is ask myself why in the world I celebrate Halloween, and check to make sure my windows are locked. Yes, I say again, creepy smiley faces are absurd.
CHORUS: So I put my hands up They’re playing my song, And the butterflys fly away Noddin’ my head like yea Movin my hips like yea I got my hands up, They’re playin my song I know im gonna be ok Yea, It's a party in the USA Yea, It's a party in the USA
What does "nodding my head like yeah" mean?? What is yeah? Someone who has never seen Miley perf-orm this song would read these lyrics and think this song is a complete joke. "Yeah" is not a noun, but an informal way to say "yes", and I don't even know what "yes" looks like. In my opinion, the true talent of the singer and hipness of the beat gets lost in these random words jumbled together that make up a lousy chorus. If you'd like to here the song, you can watch the music video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M11SvDtPBhA
PORTLAND, Ore. -- A white supremacist here has been indicted on accusations he mailed a hangman's noose to an Ohio civil-rights leader, the Justice Department said today.
An indictment alleges that Daniel Lee Jones used the U.S. Postal Service to send a package that included the noose to home of Jason Upthegrove, president of the Lima, Ohio, chapter of the NAACP.
Upthegrove received the package on Feb. 14, 2008.
The indictment says that before mailing the noose, Jones sent hate literature to Lima regarding the shooting of a black woman by a police officer. According to news reports at the time, Upthegrove urged calm after the shooting of Tarika Wilson ignited protests in the northwest Ohio city.
This article, found in the Columbus Dispatch, reports an absurd attempt to "warn" a civil rights leader. It is obvious that the white supremacist, however passionate he is about white supremacy, did nothing but get himself into trouble with the police by sending the noose. However, it is not a proven crime yet, so he could be innocent of this ridiculous action.
The spelling of flickr is absurd. Why isn’t it spelled the way it sounds, f-l-i-c-k-e-r? This is so silly to me.
Birds with no faces are absurd, because they can’t see to fly, and don’t have any purpose for the freedom their wings give them. Even if they were to instinctually flap their wings, they would not be able to see in front of them to steer their bodies away from obstacles. Even if a bird could rely on other senses for flying, it is ridiculous for any animal to have to have that type of immense freedom without the ability to see the beautiful world it flies in.
Jaylin Rogers lives in Utah, and she’s allergic to cold weather. Even a slight chill will cause her skin to break out in hives, because she suffers from Cold Urticaria. Her skin has massive reactions to cold weather by breaking out in hives all over her body, her blood pressure drops, and if she’s not treated quickly and adequately, she can die from this. Jaylin is participating in studies at the University of Utah and trying to protect herself from the frigid, Utah winter air. What is so ridiculous about his is…why doesn’t she move to Florida? If she lived in a place with warmer climates, she wouldn’t have to worry about the fatal consequences of living in cold weather.
Recently in my Government class, I had the following discussion with the student sitting to my right.
"I hate Jesus sandals!"
Me: "What?"
"You know, when girls wear sandals like what Jesus wore. It's like, NO! Those are his sandals. And they're not even nice looking without the big robe he wore. I mean, that robe covered them most of the time anyway."
Me: "Well I guess people think they're still in style..."
"My people don't need to be wearin no Jesus sandals. We wear J's, 'forces, Tims, fuhlip-fuhlops!"
Me: "Hang on..what are Jay's? And..vorces?!?"
"It's like..if you saw someone carryin a staff around like Moses', you would not stand for that. I would not stand for that. I'ma gonna beat up anyone who carries around a Moses staff, cuz you just don't do that!"
This conversation was not absurd. I learned a lot about my friend’s friends and their choice of shoes. However, his argument is indeed absurd. It is ridiculous that he believes girls should not wear Jesus sandals just because Jesus wore them. I argued that it was okay to copy someone else’s style according to our nation’s Constitution (freedom of expression), and it is ridiculous for my fellow classmate to assume that I would be upset if I saw someone walking around with a Moses staff.
This is Lady GaGa. She is an American pop singer. This is what she wore to accept her Video Music Award.
Her outfit is completely absurd because it covers her face, and quite frankly, makes her look like a monster. In my opinion, she looks like a bloody version of the Boogy Man’s sister. It is hilarious to me that she would thank her fans, the gay community, and God in front of national television wearing an outfit that makes her look like she’s from another planet. The Video Music Awards are very professional event, and artists who’ve done really well in their careers are honored with statues. It is absurd to me that Lady GaGa would wear a lacy, see through dress that shows her breasts and underwear, while covering her beautiful face. This outfit is absurd and inappropriate.
Short t-shirts are absurd. The minute I raise my arms to get a teacup out of the top shelf of the kitchen cupboard my midriff shows, and the minute I reach down to tie my shoes, my back is exposed. The reason I wear clothes is to cover myself during said activities, etc., unless I’m going to a special occasion such as a wedding. I’m all for expressing myself, but I never wake up and think, “Today I want to express myself by exposing my stomach and back when I pick up a pencil someone left on my living room floor”. Short shirts cause people to spend an excess amount of energy pulling their shirts down, which is absurd. I am now planning to give away all the shirts I wore before my growth spurt.
When my family would vacation in Chatham we used to eat at a lobster restaurant and they would always give us “lobster bibs”. I think lobster bibs are absurd because, in reality, they don’t really serve a purpose. Lobsters don’t splatter when you open them, and the butter that you dip them in for flavor doesn’t usually get on you if you’re a careful eater. Bibs are for small children, and the only reason people use them is for tradition. Giving lobster bibs to everyone who eats at a lobster restaurant is a waste of plastic, and will inevitably fill up the landfills even more.
I think it’s absurd that people protest the President by making signs like
this:
Do people really believe that President Obama is equivalent to the Joker from Batman? When has President Obama ever admitted to being a socialist? He hasn’t. And the fact that people who make signs like these and post them on the internet are actually allowed to go on living hateful lives in America right now is absurd, but necessary, since we all have the right to speak and express ourselves freely.
People going to more than one homecoming is absurd to me because, homecoming dresses cost a lot of money, and from what I’ve heard, many kids engage in underage drinking and drugs at homecoming dances. This leads me to believe that going to more than one homecoming is a waste of time and money. Also, I know someone who is going with different “dates” even though he has a girlfriend. How does this make the girlfriend feel? I bet she doesn’t feel very good.
I don’t understand why so many of my friends stay in relationships with immature guys who aren’t trustworthy and don’t care about anything meaningful. This is absurd to me because they are such strong and independent young women who don’t seem to need the approval of unkind and rude “losers”. Anyway, in an effort to stop the judgment that flows constantly from my mind and heart, I have come to accept my friends who do this despite my disapproval of their actions.
*No one is a loser, but some people act in loser-like ways
Man Caught Having Sex with a Picnic Table
http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/strange/news-article.aspx?storyid=105778
BELLEVUE, OH – “A man in central Ohio is accused of having sex with his picnic table.
The investigation began when a tipster gave police three DVDs showing Arthur Price having sexual intercourse with a metal round table on his deck.
The incidents occurred between January and March 2008.
Police say the DVDs show Price involved in a sex act in his bedroom. He walks out to his deck, tilts the table on its side and has sex with it.
Police say Price lives near an elementary school.
Price admitted that he had sex with the picnic table when police questioned him.
He confirmed to police the incidents caught on the DVDs and said he had also had sex with the table inside the home.
Price faces four counts of public indecency. He is free on a $20,000 bond.”
This is ludicrous because people with such crazy ways of attaining pleasure usually do it in privacy. I think it’s crazy that he’s charged with paying $20,00 because of this, because it’s his table and his deck, he should be able to do what he wants with his things. I do think the neighborhood in which he lives should have signed a petition against his intercourse with the table, and stopped him from sharing his disturbing act in public.
Bath Time Photos Prompt Child Porn Allegations
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/arizona-couple-suing-bathtime-photos-prompt-wal-mart/story?id=8624533
“The eight photos in question were among a batch of 144 family photos the Demarees had taken to their local Wal-Mart. The developer alerted the police and the investigation into child pornography began in earnest, even though the parents maintained they were innocent bath time photos. The Peoria, Ariz., couple had their home searched by police and worse, their children -- then ages 18 months, 4 and 5 -- were taken from them for more than month. Their names were placed on a sex offender registry for a time, and Lisa Demaree was suspended from her school job for a year. The couple said they have spent $75,000 on legal bills.”
This is absurd?!? How could the Demarees’ children go to foster care over innocent bath time photos? When I was younger, my mom took a picture of my brother and me in the bathtub, and it is still in our photo album. That picture is just a cute reminder of how much we loved one another when we were small. It is so unfair that these little girls would be taken away from their parents, and their parents would have to pay for lawyers to help get them back, just because they chose to document their kids’ childhood.
