DRAW MUHAMMAD CONTEST: THE WINNING ENTRY

If you disagree with the spirit of this cartoon you're clearly too weak-minded to handle freedom of expression.

If you disagree with the spirit of this cartoon you’re clearly too weak-minded to handle freedom of expression.

Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know I criticize ALL religions and consider them all to be mythology. I have no problems with either that old movie Jesus Christ: Serial Rapist or anybody showing whatever disrespect they want to Muhammad, the insane child rapist who founded Islam.

The winning entry in the Draw Muhammad Contest in Garland, TX got lost in all the furor. (And it’s always appropriate to use a word that sounds like “Fuhrer” when discussing Islam. And by the way, Godwin’s Law pussies don’t impress me, so don’t bother citing it.)

This was the winning entry and was drawn by Bosch Fawstin, a former Muslim. Kudos to him for the drawing AND for the fact that he refuses to do interviews with media cowards who are too frightened to show his winning entry.

If someone threatens to kill you just for doing something that offends their religion how can you NOT want to IMMEDIATELY commit the action they threatened you over? Human beings with a backbone quite rightly feel that way. Pathetic little cowards don’t.   Continue reading →

NORTH STAR ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

Mayville State Comets BIGCHAMPIONSHIP SERIES – The top seeded MAYVILLE STATE COMETS had to face the Cinderella 6 seeds – the DICKINSON STATE BLUE HAWKS – for the NSAA Championship. The Comets were undefeated in tournament play, so even though the Blue Hawks surprised them in Game One by crushing them 10-1 all that did was force a decisive second game. In Game Two Mayville State converted a 1-0 1st Inning lead into a 3-1 edge in the 3rd and 7-1 in the 7th on their way to an 8-1 victory. Tyler Leibert pitched all 9 Iron Man Innings for the Comets. * CONGRATULATIONS TO THE COMETS, THE 2015 CHAMPIONS OF THE NORTH STAR ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION * Continue reading →

MALDOROR 2:15 – THE CONQUEST OF CONSCIENCE

Balladeer’s Blog resumes its examination of the macabre 1868 French language work The Songs of Maldoror. The title character clashes with God directly again this time as well as with a flock of winged octopi.

THE CONQUEST OF CONSCIENCE

maldoror 2 15 tentaclesWe’ve come to the end of the Second Canto of The Songs of Maldoror. In this stanza the supernatural being Maldoror returns to the version of his past in which he is untold centuries old. Our insane narrator adopts and disgards these multiple personae like clothing selected to match his mood of the day.  

For people who obsess over continuity this stanza matches up well with And Now Men Fear You No More, in which Maldoror is supposedly one of the angels who remained neutral in the war between God and Lucifer. In that stanza our main character also takes credit for tutoring mankind in the ways of challenging God/The Demiurge through rational thought and counter-theology.    Continue reading →

MUSLIMS STONE CAPTIVES TO AVOID HAVING THEM RESCUED

To clueless American Liberals this Boko Haram figure is the Che Guevara of tomorrow.

To clueless American Liberals this Boko Haram figure is the Che Guevara of tomorrow.

Boko Haram, the Nigerian franchise in the global Muslim Nazi movement, stoned to death their various female captives to prevent them from being rescued by the pursuing Nigerian army. The slain women included some of the kidnapped women that the world pretended to care about for 5 minutes during the “bring back our girls” hashtag nonsense.

Hashtags versus religious fanatics. There’s only one way that will end.

MUSLIM SAVAGES OPEN FIRE ON ART DISPLAY

Muhammad, the insane child rapist who founded Islam

Muhammad, the insane child rapist who founded Islam

What kind of savages try to kill people for drawing pictures they don’t like? Oh, yeah … Muslim savages. Overnight last night a pair of Muslim animals opened fire on the Garland, TX art exhibit of Muhammad drawings, further proving why more and more of these exhibits are a MUST if you care about preserving the freedoms that Muslim fanatics want to take away through violence.

Both Islamofascists were shot to death by authorities.

The superstitious savagery called Islam forbids drawing Muhammad, which would be fine if it was limited to Muslims but the hate-filled, backward animals who practice the Muslim faith try to kill non-Muslims for doing things that are forbidden to Muslims. The more that these barbarians kill and kill the more of us will make a point of defying them.

Islamophobia posterTHIS IS ALWAYS ISLAM’S MESSAGE TO NON-MUSLIMS :  LIVE ACCORDING TO ISLAM’S INTOLERANT, HOMOPHOBIC AND MISOGYNISTIC RULES OR WE’LL KILL YOU! AND WE’LL BLAME YOU FOR YOUR DEATH, CLAIMING YOU PROVOKED US INTO KILLING YOU BY NOT LIVING ACCORDING TO OUR RULES. PLENTY OF COWARDLY NON-MUSLIMS WILL TAKE OUR SIDE AND BLAME YOU FOR YOUR OWN DEATH, TOO.

THE CIVILIZED WORLD REPLIES: NOT EVEN YOU MUSLIM SAVAGES CAN KILL FAST ENOUGH TO GET US ALL.  Continue reading →

THE VISITOR (1979): AN INCREDIBLY WEIRD MOVIE

Like the poster? Too bad! It bears no resemblance to ANYTHING that happens in the actual movie!

Like the poster? Too bad! It bears no resemblance to ANYTHING that happens in the actual movie!

THE VISITOR (1979) – This Italian-made movie deserves a Plan 9-sized cult following so I’m surprised that it’s still com-paratively unknown. The film is directed by “Michael J Paradise” (Giulio Paradisi) and features appearances by such name stars as Franco Nero, Glenn Ford, Lance Henriksen, Shelley Winters, John Huston, Sam Peckinpah, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Mel Ferrer. Paradisi directs this film in such a way that the actual point of most scenes is lost because virtually every shot includes extraneous footage completely irrelevant to the storyline. The extra footage just distracts from what otherwise might have been a halfway passable sci-fi thriller.  

Never before has anyone used the words “This movie could have used more Kareem Abdul- Jabbar” but they apply to this flick.

All that being said I want to point out that I disagree with the general consensus that The Visitor makes no sense. Sure, it has plotholes, inconsistent behavior from the characters, poorly chosen reaction shots and villains who over-complicate things for themselves, but the basic story DOES make sense. In fact I bet X-Files fans would like it and would immediately understand what’s going on.

The Visitor 4Part of the confusion can be attributed to the edited version that omits so much footage that it’s difficult to understand what is going on. It’s not always easy to understand what’s going on in the complete 108 minute version, either, but at least it retains all the relevant footage. Since so many people seem lost when they first watch this movie I’ll provide a handy synopsis of the film. It’s not quite right to say there are spoilers ahead since most people apparently don’t understand what is going on when they watch the film anyway. Continue reading →

MALDOROR 2:14 – THE BODY IN THE SEINE

Balladeer’s Blog resumes its examination of the macabre 1868 French language work The Songs of Maldoror.

THE BODY IN THE SEINE

body floatingLast time around the monster Maldoror was involved in a tale of mayhem, murder and bestiality. This time around he’s in the presumed role of a hero. A swollen body floats down the Seine River. A boatman hooks the corpse with a pole and drags it to shore, where a curious crowd has gathered.  Continue reading →
