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.

Nobody's advocating taxes that would actually increase the financial burden on people who are having a hard time making ends meet (or are close enough that they'd be in trouble). Except maybe Republicans.

Most taxes simply do not constitute a major portion of the average middle-to-lower-class family's outgoing cash flow, whereas the government programs that they fund quite often make significant reductions in their cost of living.

A word on the Tax Cuts if I may. We're all supposed to sympathize with the individual who is currently who is currently reliant on the Goverment for her medicine, but what about those individuals who might have a harder time making ends meet because of having to give a larger percent of their income to the Goverment? I don't hear anyone being sympathetic to their plight. I don't think the high taxation of California is sustainable. Either they get it under control or the people with the money and the jobs they provide are going to move else where.



Spoken like someone with absolutely no insight into California politics. Bravo!

I consider myself a middle class person, and a considerable portion (roughly %25) of my income goes to both state and federal taxes. Also there are situations where any one tax by itself might not put a dent in a person's income, but collectively they had up to a significant amount. California has the highest fuel taxes in the nation. You think poor people aren't having to pay those? Lastly, the issue of taxing businesses. Most of the money generated by a business doesn't go to buy somebody a yacht, most of it goes straight back into the business. They use their profits to expand their business, which either generates jobs at that business, or if that money is used to buy new equipment, helps that other business expand.

If you don't believe me, feel free to look at the statistics of Texas vs California. Texas has a lower unemployment rate, while California has a higher unemployment rate.
Also it's common knowledge that Texas has a far lower cost of living than California.

No, they don't.

New York state has higher gasoline taxes, and Connecticut, New York and Hawaii have higher road diesel taxes.

So what? Cost of living comparisons by state are pretty meaningless, since metro and urban areas have wide disparities. Even if you compare big cities (Dallas and San Jose, for example) you see the only category where L.A. really sticks out is housing, and prices have dropped a bunch with the financial crisis.


California also has the 7th highest per capita personal income, at $41,571.
Texas comes in 21st, at $37,187.

http://www.census.gov/statab/ranks/rank29.html

As far as unemployment rates go, you're trying to bootstrap some larger argument onto that fact, and it isn't working.

California has the the same unemployment rate as low-tax, business-friendly, anti-union, low-wage South Carolina.

So really, what point are you trying to make?

Republican retardation? Hmm, maybe if the state of California weren't dishing out billions of dollars to programs like Medi-Cal and welfare for illegal immigrants who don't even want be productive members of society, we wouldn't be in the hole as bad as we are. Granted, closing state parks is bullshit, but if we actually deported all of the repeat illegal offenders and gang members, instead of spending more fucking money on their rehabilitation, we'd be well on the way to saving California's economy. But of course you'd love to use Republicans as the scapegoat, I mean, after all, beloved Democrat and ex gov Gray Davis had NOTHING to do with the economic downfall before Arnold took office, right? Wrong.

You're aware that 90% of that kind of spending is not going to illegals, right?

the CBO also found that spending for illegal immigrants accounted for less than 5 percent of total state and local spending for those services. In California, spending was higher but less than 10 percent of total spending for those services.

Ok, i'll grant that the list I was looking at might have been dated.

Are you sure it's JUST housing prices? If they have high fuel taxes as stated above, it's only natural that the cost of goods is going to increase as fuel will be required in their transportation costs.


California also has the 7th highest per capita personal income, at $41,571.
Texas comes in 21st, at $37,187.

They've got Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, among others so that might be skewing the numbers a bit.

Hmm maybe the job seekers are leaving along with the jobs. tongue

You realize that is not considered taxable profit, right? Re-investment into the business and capital expenditures related to the business are not profit.

Yes, the huge difference is housing prices, and California has had a huge drop in home value from the peak of the market:

Median price of southern California home falls to $247,000 in April 2009


Cost of living: Dallas vs Los Angeles:

Your Current Salary:
50,000.00
State of Origin: Texas Destination State: California

City of Origin: Dallas Destination City: Los Angeles

If you make: $50,000.00 You will have to make: $52,968.46



http://www.cityrating.com/costofliving.asp

L.A. is 6% more expensive than Dallas according to that site. Other cost of living sites come in between 6% and 10%. on average.

Not exactly a huge difference.

As far as the per-capita income goes, they also have lots of legal and illegal low-paid farm and service workers, which far outnumber Hollywood and silicone valley workers and drags the average down.

We tried to have a similar discussion back when Obama was talking about closing offshore loopholes and then improving tax incentives (deductions) for R&D.

Sarge didn't listen then, and he won't listen now.

I find Sarge's behaviour quite interesting. He's like the cowardly lion of the CE board. It's fascinating which of my posts he responds to and which he completely "fails to notice", if you know what I'm saying.

Okay, I'll consider the fact that the information you provided might be true, but if it were, then consider this...The state of California also chooses to keep extreme offenders (i.e. - those who are murderers and serial rapists) on death row for at least 10 years or would just rather keep them locked up with life, no chance of perole. Now beings I am an ex-corrections officer, I know that it costs, on average, $80k per year to keep an inmate locked up. Now if you multiply that amount of money times the number of death row inmates in California, which is 667, and also those who are locked up for life, which is in the vicinity of 96,000, that comes out to about 8 billion dollars a year. Now, beings the majority of Californians are Democrats (or Green party, lmfao), they feel it would be inhumane to simply execute these people, even though they rape and kill, and would rather spend more money housing them. Keep in mind that it's the working class (You and I) who pay for these fucking corrupted degenerates to live lavishly in the "Prisons" of California.

6% smile ...So with that being said, my Medi-Cal and Welfare statement totaled 5%, which brings me to 11% of the fund accounted for...I guess that leaves 89%...Want me to keep going?
