Still one of my favourite anecdotes of all time.

Michael Moore: Do you know that on the day of the Columbine massacre, the US dropped more bombs on Kosovo than any other day?
Marilyn Manson: I do know that, and I think that’s really ironic, that nobody said ‘well maybe the President had an influence on this violent behavior’ Because that’s not the way the media wants to take it and spin it, and turn it into fear, because then you’re watching television, you’re watching the news, you’re being pumped full of fear, there’s floods, there’s AIDS, there’s murder, cut to commercial, buy the Acura, buy the Colgate, if you have bad breath they’re not going to talk to you, if you have pimples, the girl’s not going to fuck you, and it’s just this campaign of fear, and consumption, and that’s what I think it’s all based on, the whole idea of ‘keep everyone afraid, and they’ll consume.’

I have a good friend in marketing. From what I understand, subtly twisting one’s insecurities is central to a successful campaign

Jonathon asked: Clearly racist….

Yo, I know that in their imaginations, White Supremacists think that if they’d only get their way, everyone would look like Dolph Lundgren or whatever, but they always forget that the actual face of racist assholes is kind of more like this half-toad half-Ned-Flanders fuckface who’s somehow both a dad and a virgin at the same time.

In the last week or so I have been informed that:

• all homeless people are drug addicts who you shouldn’t give money to because it will only fuel their habit
• alcoholism ‘isn’t a disease it’s a choice’ and people should just ‘get over it’ - with the addition of ‘I like to have a drink now and…

So. Much. Ignorance. Where. To. Begin. :(

A note to potential employers who want us to give them our social media passwords in order to get a job

Dear potential employers: This is not your house. Do not ask for the keys. Do not expect, while we’re out working hard, to open up the fridge and grab out a Yuengling, kick up your feet on the couch and watch an episode of “How I Met Your Mother” on the Roku. Do not expect to take a shower in our bathroom or try on the neckties in our closet. Our guitar: Not your property to practice “Wonderwall” on — it has no jurisdiction on our ability to sort paperwork or solve complex problems. If you think it does, find someone else. And don’t even think about trying to change the thermostat. You are not allowed inside unless we let you in. And we’re not letting you in. If you’re a job-seeker, and the employer is asking for passwords to e-mail or various social media accounts, we suggest that you tell them exactly where take that job and shove it. So potential employers who have no respect for the personal lives of employees: Shove it. (hat tip toxiedesigns)

when CNBC is reblogging Shortform Blog, my day is made :)

Good grief.  Read the original article at USA Today, it’s pretty horrifying for anyone that values their privacy.

Well, skin crawling.

We are now walking CVs? :(
