How to Pimp an entire country in one easy step...........or something.
Some hayseed preacher in Florida has pimped the media. He has pimped the military. This guy even has the White House responding to his Burn a Koran day. You could even argue that he has played yours truly, beings I'm writing about the whole hot mess. The Rev. Terry Jones is right up there in the Pimp lineage with Fillmore Slim, who is famous for the following Quote "Pussy gonna sell when cotton and corn won't". I know what you may be thinking. Double M has finally gone off the deep end. He is being all flippant and shit over this evil preacher who is endangering the lives of our troops . Not to mention disrespecting the memory of all 9/11 victims. Hell he may even be endangering our lives here on American soil. Let alone the damage this preacher is doing to the image of America where Muslims are concerned.
I want everyone to take a deep breath, step away away from the koolaid. I'm here to help.
Unless you have been living in a cave, like the worlds most wanted man, lookin atchoo Osama, then you surely have heard about Floridas answer to Fred Phelps, the Rev. Terry Jones. Up until a few days ago he was just another whack job small time preacher, preaching about end times and berating the gays, the liberals, or the gubmint. Know why you haven't heard of him until recently? Because he only had 50 followers, that's why. I have way more followers than that on this obscure, but top shelf bloggy thing. So the Rev. who I will refer to from now on by his pimp name, T Dawg, was probably sitting around trying to figure out if snake handling or speaking in tongues would bring in more cheddar, and young girls, when he had an epiphany........" I'll do some outrageous shit on 9/11. That'll mos def get me some attention! Besides, those fuckin snakes bite."
So our boy T Dawg, who is sportin a hella porn mustache, feeds the local media a tip. "Preacher and crazy congregation to burn hundreds of Korans on 9/11 !!!!" Next thing you know there is a big ass Facebook page, Chock Fulll O Crazy, and the national media grabs the story and runs with it like a dog with a newly liberated rack of baby back ribs.
This small time douche nozzle has managed to get responses from our Secretary of State, Gen. David Petraeus, the head of American forces in Afghanistan, White House dood David Gibbs, and God knows who else. Think about that for a minute. Nobody even knew about him a couple weeks ago. Here's the rub, this story is fairly old as news goes. CNN started the ball rolling back on the 20th of August.
Like any good ad campaign the media has built this thing slow and steady, until it gets stuck in your head like a catchy tune or phrase.
Soon the media will descend on this small time Gainesville church and give them even more free advertising.
General Petraeus says he is endangering American Troops in Afghanistan. That statement would lead one to believe that our soldiers were somehow not in danger before Eb from Green Acres decided to burn the koran. I guess he knows what he is talking about, but I can't help thinking that being at war, on foriegn soil, fighting an enemy who has no problem strapping a couple pounds of explosives to themselves like a sanitary napkin, then casually walking into a crowd and blowing themselves to smithereens, is just about as fuckin dangerous an environment as there is. As for the PR hit America will take from Muslims world wide, gimme a break. We are about as popular with Muslims as Tiger Woods is with Promise Keepers.
Will extremist Muslims go on a killing spree over this clown burning the Koran? Maybe. But if it wasn't this, it would be something else, and this thing wouldn't have been an issue at all had the media not made it one, and the White House had not taken the bait. Now we Americans have risen up and condemned this clown, or embraced him. We have all been pimped by a guy who is about as articulate as a hair lip with a mouth full of Double Bubble. The media and government officials who have responded and helped blow this guys name up, are all walking around with coat hanger pimp stick marks on their legs and ass.
Our troops were in big time danger before this debacle ever started. This lame act of book burning doesn't heighten the danger, it was already as high as it gets. When people hate you so much they will die just to kill you, that is as bad as shit gets. Period. Nothing can make it any worse.
This doofus isn't any more dangerous than Fred Phelps or the countless other small time hate mongering attention whores that manage to catch our attention through outrageous statements and acts. Will there be effigy burning and demonstrations is the land of sand ? Sure. But they do that shit on a daily basis anyway.
At the end of the day, the biggest tragedy in this thing is that the media has given this guy so much attention, it will take the focus away from the victims of 9/11.

You done called this MM!
ReplyDeleteI would pass this post on if it weren't for the language, but I ain't asking you to do that.
I watched "Falling Man" last week, on the search for the guy who's pic was taken when he jumped. Pretty sobering
Maybe if we're lucky someone will push him into the fire as well. Then he can be a glorious martyr for the cause. Forward to paradise! **shove** Ooopsy...
ReplyDeleteWe're living in the age of media manipulation. We think the people who drank Jim Jones' koolaide were nuts, but we're really not any saner than they were. In fact, we don't even see or hear our manipulators firsthand. We see, hear, and believe the edited versions. It's really pretty frightening.
ReplyDeletePeople will do good and bad. But it takes religion to get good people to do bad things. And always in the name of God.
ReplyDeleteNote the sob's name and then ignore him. Trying to censure or stop him is just giving him more time in the spotlight.
You are on fire since your little vacation. My weeks are much better now that I have some MM stuff a couple of times a week.
Well, look at the bright side.....at least T-Dawg isnt strapping on a TNT vest, and car-ramming a muslim get together.
ReplyDeleteWhen you guys have some time to kill, follow that link to his facebook page. I love me some crazy, and that FB page is full of it and then some. The comments are pure gold.

True enough, but I'll bet he has some followers, new or old, who would take you up on that drive into a gathering thing.
I see no point in this.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time, Mark, I actually agree with your blog.
Terry Jones must not remember history, or care about it. The last group of 'christians' that burned an ethnic peoples books wound up killing six million of my people, including a huge amount of my family members.
Destroying a religious book is not a protest. It is bigotry at its finest. As a Jew I say, Let Islam be Islam and focus energies at the terrorists. my two cents.

Demagogues, false idols, fake gurus, snake oil sellers seem to be crawling out of the woodwork these days (it's the economy stoopid), and the mainstream media encourages it.
ReplyDeleteSheesh, beam me up Scotty!
All topic-related comments aside, your affinity for colorful phrases always gets me chuckling at work. Fabulous post. ;)
ReplyDeleteI listened a snip of an interview with this rocket doctor. He was commenting on the statement by Petraeus about how this event could put American troops in danger. He said it would be "tragical" if this event caused harm to any American forces. "Tragical"? It would be ironical if he fell in the fire and burned as well. Actually, that would just be a bonus for the gene pool.
ReplyDeleteI have been studiously ignoring this dipwad, not even giving him a FB snip.
ReplyDeleteHe has thoroughly taken over the media machine, and you are right on the button, he will obscure the remembering that should be taking place on September 11th.
It is nice to have you back!
Nice. Three laugh out loud moments AND a nice dovetail ending akin to Aesop's fables. Great stuff MM.
ReplyDeleteI just read this again. LMAO
ReplyDeleteI did notice General Ursus' comment.
Perfectly stated.
