Asshole Fuckface Roundup #99

How long has it been since the last Asshole Fuckface Roundup? Seven days? Feels like a week. You’d think after all the thrashings they’ve received on this sweet, sweet website, that they would run and hide for the rest of their lives. But they can’t. They have to do their evil deeds and shame all of mankind. Thank God I am here to drag them out of the darkness for you to mock. And this week there will be plenty of mocking because these creeps exhibit extra Asshole Fuckfacery. So, put on your favorite leather rug because this is going to be ugly.

First up, some Canadian Asshole Fuckfacery.

What’s worse than beating a seal to death with a club? How about advocating for the guys who beat seals to death with clubs? Canada’s Governor General, Michaelle Jean, knows how to show her solidarity with seal clubbers. The poor seal clubbers are upset because the European Union voted to ban seal products on the grounds that the “seal hunt is cruel.” I guess. I mean, if you think beating something to death with a blunt instrument is cruel, then it is. Hippy.

Hundreds of Inuit at a community festival gathered Monday as Jean knelt above a pair of seal carcasses and used a traditional ulu blade to slice the meat off the skin. After cutting through the flesh, Jean turned to the woman beside her and asked: "Could I try the heart?"



Sure. Did you want to bathe in the blood, too? Maybe put the seal eyes in your eye sockets and run around screaming?

After swallowing a piece whole and deeming it tasty, Jean, whose post is largely ceremonial, defended the hunt as an eons-old traditional hunting practice that is not inhumane.



Well, who can argue with someone that makes such a convincing point? I bet if you eat the seal anus, everyone in the world would reverse all seal product bans.

A spokeswoman for EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas offered no official reaction.

"No comment; it's too bizarre to acknowledge," Barbara Helfferich said.



How about an official, “What the fuck?” I think it’s in order.

But, Newfoundland sealer Jack Troake chuckled after hearing of Jean's actions.

"That's great stuff," he said. "You've got some of these environmentalists that are going to jump on her, but I think she's strong enough. She can take that, I think."



Yeah. “Great stuff.” She’s really helping your cause. Too bad Jeffrey Dahlmer is dead or you could sign him up, too.

Next up, some phone company Asshole Fuckfacery.

A 62-year-old man from Carrollton, Ohio flipped out this week. The local Sheriff received a call because he was “destroying the house and breaking windows and other items.” Dude then grabbed a bunch of pills and ran off. Law enforcement officials were very worried about the man’s life, so they began a search.

Two K-9 units, several fire departments and 100 individuals on foot also were involved in the search for the man, who Sheriff Dale Williams said fled his residence on Kensington Rd. after a domestic disturbance call to deputies.



Police officers also decided to call his cell phone provider in an attempt to use his cell phone signal to locate him. Unfortunately, the Verizon operator was an Asshole Fuckface.

Williams said he attempted to use the man’s cell phone signal to locate him, but the man was behind on his phone bill and the Verizon operator refused to connect the signal unless the sheriff’s department agreed to pay the overdue bill.



Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Guy might be dead. Right. That’s kind of a bummer, but I’ve got shit going on on my end, too. Like a bill. A huge bill.

After some disagreement, Williams agreed to pay $20 on the phone bill in order to find the man. But deputies discovered the man just as Williams was preparing to make arrangements for the payment.



Twenty dollars, yo. You think Verizon can take that kind of a hit? The economy is no bueno, amigo. Fortunately, when paramedics got there, the man was “unconscious and unresponsive.” Yay, Verizon! You guys should put that in an ad.

    We will leave you dying in a field over $20. It’s a huge network!



That’s some kick ass PR right there.

Next up, some culinary Asshole Fuckfacery.

If you were planning on having dinner at Ming's BBQ on Buford Highway in Doraville, Georgia, feel free to cancel your reservations. Earlier this year, police discovered some awesome stuff in back of the restaurant. They took pics!

They showed grease traps overflowing, pigs stacked in buckets, boxes of raw meat sitting outside and pieces of raw meat hanging from a fence.



Mmmm. I love pigs stacked in buckets outside. It's yummy and that's exactly how they describe it on the menu.

There's also a picture of what police and the city solicitor describe as a dead skinned cat.

That obviously was the most disturbing thing we saw," said Lee Perkins, Doraville City Solicitor. "The cat appeared to be, it was the head and tail and skin of the cat. As the pictures show, it was right in back of the restaurant."



Um. Shouldn’t you hide the cat skin after you killed it and cooked it for customers? Just tossing it out back seems kinda stupid. I always put my cat skins in the sewer.

Of course, health inspectors acted swiftly.

"Did you consider closing it for good?" Leslie asked.

"That is a last resort," Cira said. "We do not begin any inspection with that in mind."

Instead, inspectors returned six times over the next two weeks.



Thank you for not closing the cat killing, pigs in buckets out back, raw meat kickin’ it in the backyard restaurant.

On January 28, Ming's scored a failing 59.

But by February 10, the score jumped to 96.



Oh, and one time they served cat.

Finally, some governator Asshole Fuckfacery.

Asshole Fuckface Arnold will be leaving his post as California Governor soon. In his wake, he will leave a state destroyed by anti-tax Republican retardation. Now, I can’t believe a washed up action star couldn’t turn the state around. I mean, who would have thought a man who acts like a tough guy in movies, who came to fame by making big muscles, couldn’t handle the complexity of governing a massive state like California?

Arnold’s first step was to follow the Republican mantra. His first day in office he cut the Vehicle License Fee, which eliminated $6.5 billion per year from the state coffers. Over his time in office, that one move has led to a $35 billion dollar increase in state debt. He also convinced voters to pay off the budget deficit in his first year with a $15 billion dollar bond – thereby pushing the debt and allowing us to pay interest on it.

Now he wants to lay off 5,000 state employees during a recession. Genius. He also wants to cut $5.4 billion from schools, because our schools rank amongst the worst in the country. Why? Oh, tax cuts gutted our schools in the late '70s and our kids have suffered ever since. Arnold also wants borrow $7.5 billion for local governments. You know, the local governments suffering through a recession and years of cuts because of the GOP’s anti-tax no matter what policy. Oh, and the governator also wants to lease more sites for off shore oil drilling to bring in $100 million. Problem is, the state doesn’t have an oil severance tax. Can you see Republicans agreeing to tax the oil companies? If you can, you’re an idiot. They enjoy the slash and burn policies of stupidity.

Now the same Governor is proposing reckless cuts that would deny over two million Californians health coverage — the most profound rollback of coverage in state history. In attempting to close California’s over $21 billion budget deficit, the Governor has ruled out considering taxes or other revenues to protect the very same programs he was seeking to expand a mere year and a half ago.



Oh, but it’s not just programs he was trying to expand, he also wants to cut funding that keeps people alive. His cuts will also affect 35,000 Californians who count on state funding to get their HIV/AIDS medications.

And they heard from a woman named Lynnea Garbutt who has lived with AIDS all of her 24 years.

She has survived with the help of a state program that provides the expensive antiviral drugs she takes. Now, with that program facing elimination, she pleaded with lawmakers to save it -- and her life.

"If these cuts take place, you're not just cutting money from the program -- you're cutting my life," she told the panel, her voice shaking and tears falling. "I choose to live. Please don't make me die. My choice is life."



Shit, I’m sorry, but Republicans refuse to raise any taxes. Bummer you have to die because of it, but it’s a moral thing. It would be immoral to take money that is not yours, sicko.

Arnold will be gone in 18 months, leaving complete destruction. That’s the Republican way. Insane, deluded, idiotic, childish policies that lead to a disaster.

And as goes California, so goes the nation.

can someone explain to me how thwacking an animal on the head to kill it is more cruel than cutting its throat and letting it bleed out?

The first one is not The American Way, hence it must be cruel.
What we don't understand we condemn!

oh no! Native Americans eat seals in a ceremonious fashion? Typical PETA attitude. Only cute animals are worthy of anger, even if people have been eating them for hundreds of years. Polar bears kill seals in a much more brutal way, should we ostricize their species too?

Not that either are particularly friendly, but cutting and bleeding leads to a faster death. Clubbing seals sometimes requires them to be beaten repeatedly until they die. Kind of the difference between a well placed bullet to the head vs. repeatedly shooting someone in the chest - both will kill them, one causes much less suffering. I'm not condoning either.

The whole anti sealing lobby pisses me off. Sealing is most likely the only sustainable harvest of natural resources occurring in North America and for a bunch of fucking douchebags to condemn it because it offends their delicate sensibilities is absolutely rediculus. For the Gov. Gen. of Canada to show support for a traditional and humane hunt, a hunt that is of major economic and social importance in many northern communities is great. She shows a lot more backbone and character than our spineless politicians that is certain.

There have been studies undertaken by independent researchers which have demonstrated that clubbing followed by exsanguination is a efficient and humane way to terminate brain function (render unconscious) and kill the animal dead. eg: Can Vet J. 2002 September; 43(9): 687�694, Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 10(2), 1974, pp. 121-129

used correctly, a hakapik inflicts unconsciousness almost instantly. and even if used incorrectly, we're talking a difference measured in seconds.

I have to agree, to an extent. I've lived in a Yup'ik village in Alaska for two years; the seal and walrus hunting that goes on up there is highly regulated, and is subsistence only. No one is getting rich off of it, and not a great many of the animals are being taken.
My opinion; if the seal hunting is being done for a profit and includes non-natives, then it should certainly be stopped. However, if the hunting being done is for traditional, and subsistence, purposes, thn no problem currently exists.
People seriously need to stop trying to impose their own cultural mores and views upon others :/

If it is to feed your family, then I have no issue with it as long as it is done relatively humanely. Same with things like deer and turkey hunting. If you're killing to feed your family, while I can't stomach it, I can understand it. My friend hunts and when he does kill a deer, he's got enough meat for his family for a while.

Hunting for sport, profit (meat, pelts, etc) or to control populations where humans have encroached on an animal's native habitat, such at the bear hunts in NJ, are complete bullshit.

Out of tradition doesn't so much sit well with me. Forced genital mutilation is traditional in some parts of the world, but it doesn't make it acceptable.

it is not complete bullshit. for pete's sake, all of human existence is "encroaching on an animal's native habitat"--most animal population control programs seek to limit the damage to the environment caused by that impact. and there's no difference between hunting for subsistence and hunting for profit--the profit pays for subsistence, and the time spent hunting for subsistence could be used to pursue a different line of work that could in turn be spent on meatless subsistence.

if this were chickens or pigs, everyone would be aflutter with how it's free range and cruelty-free.
