Asshole Fuckface Roundup #18

SATURDAY OCTOBER 27 2007 9:00 AM

You lucky sons of bitches. It’s Saturday, the day our Lord Jesus Christ came down from the mountain in his silk robe and fuzzy slippers and said, “Let there be an Asshole Fuckface Roundup.” Then he pointed at Luke and burped. True story. Now, here we are, three or four hundred years later and I am the vessel of Jesus, providing you with your weekly dose of the Asshole Fuckface Roundup. I pour over the news all week to find the biggest Asshole Fuckfaces out there and I deliver them on a platter, just as Jesus would have wanted. So, put on your favorite rubber apron, it’s going to get messy.

We’re going to start in California, where fire was invented and that made some Asshole Fuckfaces do bad things.

FEMA. Ordinarily I could just stop there, but today I’m going to go on. Apparently, FEMA has figured out where they went wrong during the Hurricane Katrina fiasco: Media control.

On Tuesday, deputy administrator Harvey Johnson held a news briefing about all the fine work FEMA was doing in California. FEMA told reporters about the briefing a full 15 minutes before it started and gave them an 800 number to call. Of course, that 800 number was a “listen only” line, so they were not allowed to ask questions.

Fuck, did it go smooth. Johnson gave an overview of what was going on and then he took a few questions. He responded to each question eloquently. It seemed like a good time was being had by all.


He was apparently quite familiar with the reporters -- in one case, he appears to say "Mike" and points to a reporter -- and was asked an oddly in-house question about "what it means to have an emergency declaration as opposed to a major disaster declaration" signed by the president. He once again explained smoothly.

FEMA press secretary Aaron Walker interrupted at one point to caution he'd allow just "two more questions." Later, he called for a "last question."

"Are you happy with FEMA's response so far?" a reporter asked. Another asked about "lessons learned from Katrina."

"I'm very happy with FEMA's response so far," Johnson said, hailing "a very smoothly, very efficiently performing team."


Nicely done. But it seemed a bit odd to the reporters listening on the line. Why all the easy and oddly familiar questions? Why was the media letting Johnson ramble on forever about how great FEMA was responding? Why was everyone being so nice? Oh, because there were no reporters there. Turns out the “briefing” was all FEMA employees, playing “press conference.” There was not one reporter in the entire place. Yay, America!

It looked good on TV, though. Fox News, MSNBC and other news channels carried it live. Now FEMA is apologizing to anyone who will listen, because they know they’ve done something bad if people tell them. That's what happens if you don't have a soul.

And what’s a disaster without President Bush acting like a dick? At his press conference he took a swipe at the Governor of Louisiana, while hailing the leadership of Arnold.


There is no hill he’s not willing to charge, no problem he’s not willing to solve,” Bush said of the California governor. “It makes a significant difference when you have somebody in the statehouse willing to take the lead.”


Oh, snap. And who wasn’t willing to lead, huh? The Democratic governor of Louisiana, maybe? Bush is a fucking child. Excuse me, Asshole Fuckface child. A couple thousand people lost their homes, several dead and he’s taking swipes at a Democrat in a state where he was greatly responsible for a horrible response…two fucking years ago.

And there were even more Asshole Fuckfaces showing their true colors during the fires.

A couple returned from their honeymoon just two hours before their home burned down. They rushed in and grabbed what they could, but they did not have much time. The next day, they called AT&T to tell them their house burned down and they needed to cancel their service.



That is some awesome customer service. Certainly wouldn’t want to give anyone who lost their home a break, like knocking the price down a bit. Nope. AT&T is the worst company in the world, Asshole Fuckfaces of the highest caliber. Do you hear me, Steve Jobs?

And why stop there with the Asshole Fuckfaces who were total dicks during the crisis?

How about Vice President Dick Asshole Fuckface? The President and his cabinet were being briefed on the California fires but poor Dick was apparently not all that interested.



I’m sure if he had heard Fox News say that al Qaeda was behind the fires, he would have been able to stay awake. But on a more positive note, maybe he is getting closer to death.

Okay, enough with the fires, there are many more Asshole Fuckfaces running around.

Like Pennsylvania, where the Department of State has decided not to publicize their list of polling places for elections. Why? The Goddamn terrorists, that’s why! Everyone knows terrorists want to blow up polling places. They are target number one, especially if you are retarded.


The Department of State was influenced by the terrorist bombings that struck just days before Spain's national elections in 2004, spokeswoman Leslie Amoros said.


Oh, right. The bombings in Spain, that went off and killed many people in…train stations. That is where people vote in Spain, I guess.


Critics say concealing the compiled list runs afoul of the state's open records law and makes coordinating statewide voter-mobilization strategies more difficult. A big part of (mobilizing voters) is keeping track of where polling places are, or when they change.


What a surprise. Nicely done, Pennsylvania, you are a giant Asshole Fuckface. But, I guess whatever it takes to make it difficult for people to find where they should vote. Democracy in action!

It is always great to end the Asshole Fuckface Roundup with a guy who pees on dying people.

I take you to England: Home of awful people. Take Anthony Anderson, he’s a former soldier and is also a member of the Asshole Fuckface hall of fame. Anthony received the honor for his actions back in July.

He was celebrating his birthday in Hartlepool with some friends, when they stumbled across 50-year-old Christine Lakinski. She was lying in the street, after falling and hitting her head while walking home. Christine also had physical and learning disabilities. So, what to do? If you’re a normal human being, you call an ambulance. But, if you’re an Asshole Fuckface, you do something entirely different.


Prosecutors said Anderson kicked Lakinski on the foot, poured a bowl of water over her and then urinated on her as a friend filmed the assault on a mobile phone. He also sprayed her with shaving foam in the attack which lasted half an hour.


Make that at least two Asshole Fuckfaces, because one friend was filming and enjoying the show.


One of the group shouted, "This is YouTube material" during the attack.


Ah, to be young again, roaming the streets, shitting and peeing on dying people. Those were the days.

Anderson and his friends went on their way, but did manage to call an ambulance twenty minutes later. It’s called “Asshole Fuckface remorse” and it commonly only strikes 20 minutes after you have done something horrible.

Anderson was sentenced to three years in the big house this week. Lakinski died of pancreatic failure in the street that night.

Congrats to all of this week’s Asshole Fuckfaces. You are a fine group of horrible people and will each receive a FearTheReaper travel alarm clock!

That was the best brawl I've ever witnessed on these threads. I'm very happy now.
I was showering after checking SG yesterday, and trying to figure out who FTR was. It's very mysterious to me. Is that weird?

That AT&T thing was taken care of. Dish called them back and said they didn't have to pay a dime. The original rep(s) obviously didn't know what they were talking about.

I gotta say, as much as I dislike AT&T, I thought that story was a bit blown out or proportion.

Oh thank God, or maybe I shouldn't say God on any of you articles, because you probably want him taken off of all money and out of school & out of the pledge. But any way thank God you didn't realize that FEMA helped all those rich people and illegal immigrants in CA and ignored all those poor minorities in New Orleans.

I am surprised that you missed such an obvious fact, but you'll probably bring that up in your next story. Or are you just waiting for CNN to bring that up so you can think of it. Since liberals can't think of anything that is not on CNN. Just like according to you Conservatives can't think of anything not on FoxNews.

Give us all a break with this puking propaganda and just report news. That is what reporters are supposed to do and have forgotten how to do. Now leave the editorialism out of it and just report it for once.



Okay, let me clue you in. The AFFRU is EDITORIAL CONTENT. Get it? I am sure FTR will concur, as will any reasonably intelligent person.

On the other hand and in the fact department, how do you justify and how can you accept FEMA staging mock press conferences? If you can, fuck the hell off and drop dead. Its people like that who are destroying our country and the rest of the world with it. Actually, fuck the hell off anyway for being a douchebag idiot and posting your comment n the first place.

And in case you are interested, anytime, anywhere.

Let me just say, thank you for finally numbering these.

Also, re: most of the people appearing in the article: Jesus fucking christ, learn to be human beings. Please. (The Asshole Fuckfaces, that is. Not the people responding to the article. Just so no one gets confused.)

Yes. I am pretty sure that the person at the AT&T tech/billing support call center in India probably didn't even know/care that California was on fire.

Once the U.S. representatives saw that, they did damage control to make the bad publicity go away.

That FEMA "press conference" is laughable, and very scary at the same time.

I love the asshole fuckface roundups.

I'm sorry, conservative, but were you really expecting a flat-out news piece when you clicked on a link that said "Asshole Fuckface Roundup"?


Dude, don't be sorry... conservative is just pissed off because he thought for sure he had made it into this weeks Roundup... he really wanted that travel alarm clock.

As for the article itself - I can't even say how appalled I am at AT&T and the pissing douchebag. I mean, we expect assholery from politicians...

surreal Seriously? I don't even know what to say to this. Who DOES that? And knows people who also think it's perfectly normal and acceptable to find people passed out in the street and pee on them? WTF is wrong with people. surreal



Agreed... of all the asshole-fuckfaces this one left me the most disturbed... (shudder).

The AT&T thing altho pretty despicable may or may not be an actual misunderstanding. My old roommate used to work for a cal center for a power company, she would get people calling all the time with any number of outrageous stories as to why they HAD to have their electricity left on and had not paid their bill. It's as easy for me to believe that they were being douche bags as it is to believe that perhaps they just did not believe them until they could check into the story. Now if AFTER having proved that their house burned down and all they still had to pay then yes this would have been hella douche worthy.

Can I have a FTR alarm clock too? I mean, I'm not horrible, but I do believe in God and actually did like Ronald Reagan (personally, not politically. . .he was a good conversationalsits and he paid for lunch (srlsy!)).

That should count a few point towards an alarm clock, shouldn't it??
