Asshole Fuckface Roundup #55

Wow. Here we are. Who knew we would make it another week and enjoy the horrors of the Asshole Fuckface Roundup together? Sadly, I had much to choose from this week. Some of the Fuckfaces only received a second place nod on my blog. I gathered the rest together so that your eyes may feast on the depths of mankind. And here they are. I’ve scoured the news for the worst people on Earth, so that you may feel better about yourself by looking down on them. So, put on a giant plastic lampshade because this is going to be horrible.

First up, Dubai shows us their Asshole Fuckface skills.

Dubai has gotten a bit of a reputation as a place where the rich go to play. That is all well and good, as long as they aren’t gay. This week Dubai “cracked down” on gay people.


Police in the Gulf tourist hub of Dubai say they've detained 17 foreign men for allegedly being gay and wearing women's clothing in malls and other public places.


Thank God you Asshole Fuckfaces cracked down on the terrible crime of men wearing women’s clothing, while you walk around in white moo moos. A Dubai paper claimed 40 were arrested. Nobody can explain the difference in the numbers.


The paper quotes Dubai's police chief as saying the arrests are part of a campaign against "transvestites."

Despite Dubai's Western outlook, homosexuality is illegal in the Muslim city-state.


Right. That and they arrest people for having less than a grain of salt worth of pot on the sole of their shoe. Here’s a tip: Don’t visit Dubai. Ever.

Next up, our gay hating Asshole Fuckfaces.

South Carolina doesn’t like being called gay. Not at all. A lot of Asshole Fuckfaces in the state are upset with a London Tube ad that claims, "South Carolina is so gay."



The ad was created by a London gay tour operator to encourage tourism to “gay-friendly” areas. I guess that didn’t work out so well.

Republican State Senator David Thomas lost his straight shit.


"South Carolinians will be irate when they learn their hard-earned tax dollars are being spent to advertise our state as 'so gay.'"


Right. And it will cause gay confusion.


They'll get off the plane and say, 'Where are the gay beaches?' and no one will know what they are talking about.


Dude, beaches don’t have a sexual preference. Just a tip. Also, you are a horribly uptight, straight man who is scared of gay people. How much do you want to bet there are “gay beaches” all over the place and no one told you?


Andrew Roberts, CEO of Amro Worldwide, visited South Carolina after the state's tourism board expressed interest in the campaign, and says he toured several gay venues, including largely gay sections of mainstream beaches, in Charleston, Hilton Head Island and Myrtle Beach. "A few people in South Carolina need to wake up to what's going on in their state," he says. "There are more gay bars along that coastal strip than there are in Vegas."


Uh oh. Them’s fightin’ words. Did you just call my beach “gay?” Huh? I’ll kick your ass.

The posters also advertised the gay-friendly cities Atlanta, Boston, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Washington, D.C. No one gave a shit in those cities. But South Carolina refused to pay the $5,000 advertising fee, asked that the posters be removed, and a state employee was forced to resign. Good work.

Next up, an Asshole Fuckface needs to stop the party.

Meet Robert Hood, of Caldwell, Texas. He’s 44-years-old and he is just getting the party started. Holy shit is he getting the party started.

Hood was arrested for a DUI on Sunday in Omaha, Nebraska, July 4 in Mitchell, South Dakota, July 7 in Deadwood, South Dakota, and on July 8 in Platte County, Wyoming. I am very impressed by anyone who is arrested two days in a row in two different states for DUI. It’s time for Bobby to get a bumper sticker that says, “Can’t Stop The Party.”

Ready for the good news?


Robert Hood, of Caldwell, Texas, was released after posting $200, or 10 percent of the $2,000 bail, Otoe County Jail officials said.


The system works! Seriously, though, a real life Ronnie Dobbs is out there, people. Stay low.

Next up, some Asshole Fuckface parents have no boundaries.

Stephanie Martinez was working as a clerk at Pizza Patron in Denton, Texas last weekend. Suddenly, a robber burst in, wearing a wig and sunglasses and said, “Give me the money!” Stephanie began emptying out her register, when the other clerk went Charles Bronson on his ass.


And then [the other clerk] hit him and knocked him out and knocked off his wig and I dropped the money. I said, ‘Don’t hit him again! That’s my dad!’


Uh. I’m sorry, what did you say? Turns out the entire family is chock full O’ Asshole Fuckfaces. The wife was also arrested. Oh, and Stephanie sort of knew what was going on.


Sgt. James Brett said Martinez's husband told them she didn't know about the robbery. He said she knew they were going to rob someplace but she thought it was going to be a convenience store.


Oh, that’s cool. Seriously, no worries. As long as she didn’t know it was specifically going to be the pizza place she works at, we’re cool. She sounds like a great woman and nothing like her father.


Martinez said she is concerned her mother may be deported.


I’m not.

Stephanie isn’t very close with her father, mostly because of the jail thing.


Martinez called her father a career criminal and said she has written him off.

"He's always been in jail. It's the same thing to me," she said.


Really? Well, he just tried to reach out to you; maybe you should give him a chance. Stephanie’s mom, dad and husband were all arrested. Stephanie is free to breed and keep this genetic marvel going.

And, finally, the many Asshole Fuckfaces of the Republican Party.

You know you have taken the wrong position when you have to blatantly lie to get people on your side. The current ridiculous talking point of the right wing is that “not a drop of oil was spilled” during Hurricane Katrina.



It’s obviously a talking point, because they are all saying the exact same line. All of the Asshole Fuckfaces were allowed to repeat a lie on a major news channel without a reporter questioning the validity of their statement. They appeared on CNN, CNN Headline News, Fox Business Network, Fox News, and MSNBC.

Here’s the truth, and I included a pretty picture.



Due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, there were 124 offshore oil spills that released a total of 743,700 gallons of oil. The largest single spill was 152,250 gallons, which is considered to be a “major spill.” Onshore, there were 595 oil spills. Altogether, 9 million gallons were spilled. Just to compare, the Exxon Valdez spilled 10.8 million gallons.


The quantity and cumulative magnitude of the 595 spills, which were spread across four states and struck offshore and inland, rank these two hurricanes among the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. Some have even compared the total amount of oil released — estimated at 9 million gallons — to the tragedy of Exxon Valdez.


Nine million gallons or not a drop. Easy mistake to make. Finally, yesterday, one of the only decent journalists in America (who Hillary Clinton tried to get fired) questioned the bullshit talking point.



Jesus. She just lied again to cover for her lie. Spills and seeps cannot be compared.


The key difference has to do with release rates and spatial concentration of the oil. Seeps release large amounts of oil over large areas of the ocean gradually throughout the year. Spills release large amounts of oil from a point source in a short time.



This is going to be a long summer of Asshole Fuckfacery.

Congrats to all of this week's Asshole Fuckfaces. You each win a FearTheReaper leather helmet.

Allah is simply a word which means "God." There are Christians who worship Allah, because in their language, it is the word for god. Not everyone speaks English who is Christian.

The ONLY word for God in Islam is Allah. Early Jewish tribes referred to God as Alla, however, nowadays, you see it written as G-d. Also, amongst the ever dwindling number of Arabic speaking Christians living in Muslim run countries, they understand the difference between the Islamic Allah and the fact that Allah in Arabic means God anyway.

You missed in my above post where I said pushing back against the ideology of Islam does NOT have to be violent. I think there are ways that we can say NO in a manner that would not go against the loving of thy enemy nor being foolish about who our enemy IS.

First of all, I won't stop. I carry these opinions, first and foremost, for the sake of defending western civilization and thought as we know it today. It worries me, especially the Obamabots, who are in fact also beneficiaries of western civilization who do not get offended at news like this, but rather with a person like me who is pretty much calling it like I see it. Remember those two fellows in Pakistan who were hanged in public for being gay? Remember that? Yeah, this is not about ONE country who does not want to change, it is about an entire ideology and the eminent threat that it poses on the free world as we know it. So, sit back, don't give a shit and hug another fucking tree (2008 translation: buy a fucking eco-friendly vehicle), but do not say that the vast minority that ALSO shares my opinion did not warn you elitist folks of the threat that is soon to be imposed on us.

Furthermore, JekylandHyde, I refuse to believe that God, the Judeo-Christian God, NOT allah, intended for his people to be comprised of apathetic, reluctant people who insisted on being apologists for their freedom and land at every fucking turn. By the way, since we are on the topic of God, Christians, and Muslims, and since you CLAIM to be a Christian, what are your thoughts on how Allah was revealed to Muhammad? Seriously, did you know that even though he claims he received the message of the one true faith, Islam, via the angel Gabriel, did you know that he FIRST interpreted the experience as that of a demonic attack? Yeah, I know, I know, something that is only discussed in small circles, a minor, insignificant fact, right? Jesus wanted us to turn the other cheek, love our enemies, but he wanted us to NOT be foolish and to be aware of our enemies as well. There are ways to push back against this ideology WITHOUT inciting violence. Sharia Law is NOT a democracy and it will ruin everything that if you don't value now, will when you find the fight is finally on OUR soil...



If you can't accept the validity of other people's faith who want to converse with you logically, how the hell do you expect people to give you any respect of your opinions or beliefs?

First and foremost, getting rid of the thugs who currently run CAIR. It is just another organization of criminals who are nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing. Little by little they want us to accept some of the mandates of the Islamic faith and Sharia Law's codependency on said faith as SOP in a democratic environment. Also, it'd be great if internationally, Imam's of any significant power and influence got together and decided to abolish the portions of the Qur'an that call of the INFINITE killing, conquering, and subjugation of all unbelievers, Infidels, people of the book, you know, things of the like that most conservative Muslims see as a means of spreading their religion of peace and love. Yes there is a lot of blood that stains the old testament of the Bible. Any Christian and/or Jew would be foolish to deny that. However, it does NOT, unlike the Qur'an and Muhammad's actions portrayed in the Hadith, call for the infinite killing of ANY one race, creed, or religious group. In fact, the incidents IN the old testament were isolated. I cannot say whether they were or were not humane, but again, I will remind ALL of you, there is NOT an infinite command to kill, conquer and/or subjugate ANYONE per the old or new testament. It is about God's judgment.

Don't thank me. I am not nearly as valiant or heroic as the men and women that are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and possibly even Pakistan, should Obama become president, as he seems to have a raging hard-on for that country. Furthermore, I have wanted to join the military, but was not able to for the sheer fact that I have dislocated my knee, TWICE. Both the army and air force consider that a liability.

When you can, or anyone for that matter, can find the portion of the bible that calls for the total infinite killing, conquering and/or subjugation of a specific race, creed, and/or religious group, you let me know. And NO, I would NOT go ape shit if there was a panel of respectable ministers and priests that sanctioned it be removed from the bible. Now, I can assume, you or anyone for that matter, will use the quick and easy route of citing Leviticus as your ObaMessiah has so conveniently issued a statement on for his flock of blubbering, quivering sheep. Do I agree with these passages and commands? most certainly not. However, I am reasonable enough of a follower to know and understand that these offenses that are referred to are, as Christians, no longer to be punishable by death at the hand of man. Enter Christ's dying on the cross for the followers. By that, it is believed by Christians, the same things that were referred to in Leviticus as being punishable by death could now be forgiven by the blood of Christ. That's just how it works.
