A Tale of Two America's

Well I can't say that I'm suprised. I had a feeling that George Bush Jr. was going to walk away with this election. Needless to say I was hoping he'd lose- not particularity because I thought John Kerry was impressive, but more for the reason that I would have been satisfied with ABB (anybody but Bush). Many people have been in disbelief in the days following the election wondering how it is possible that Dubya- a man who lied about weapons of mass destruction, about the link between Iraq and September 11th, as well as countless other scandals (see Fahrenheit 9/11) could get a sufficient number of Americans to believe he'd be the best man to lead them for the next 4 years. Perhaps Bush's scare tactics as well as his attacks on John Kerry's "softness" were effective.

But what it really comes down to is that America is two nations wrapped into one. In the days of the civil war the states were differentiated by North and South- but now it seems more like the lines are drawn between the coastal states (as well as some of the midwest) and the central states which are located in the middle of the country. To say that America is bipolar politically doesn't paint a complete picture. Not only do the people in these different area's have different political views, but they also have vastly different idealogical views. I think that the people on the coasts have a more of an idea of what is going in the rest of the world, and the central states are more americocentric (they only care about america). One believes in gay marriage and a woman's choice for abortion, and the other views these issues exactly opposite. Of course it isn't everyone in those states who believes the same way- it isn't that clear cut- what I'm saying is that its the majority.

I know I bash alot of things about America quite a bit- and I'd like to point out that I was doing so way before it was in fashion to do so. But I don't hate America- many of my good friends are American (even though I hold that against them). What I hate is the other America- the one you don't see on television. Not Jerry Seinfeld, John Stewart, Conan O'Brien, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, or Craig Kilborn. Wait did I say Craig Kilborn? Craig Kilborn is a fucking douche bag. I'm talking about America that that weighs more importance on banning gays from getting married than repairing their lousy foreign policy. Who are more worried about stopping abortion than confronting their President for taking them to war for ficticious reasons. The part of America which sings horrible country songs about their pickup trucks and leaving their wives. You know which America I'm talking about. Chris Rock refers to them as the part of America which "fucks their own sister and eats mayonnaise sandwiches", I'm talking about REDNECK America. Its really sad that more than half of the most powerful nation in the world is so incredibly insular that they not only care only about themselves- but they seemingly lack any interest in anything which concerns anyone outside of their own country. But I digress- this is why I'm glad I'm Canadian- we definitely have our own faults- but no one is trying to fly planes into our buildings. By the way- Jag said that if Bush won the election that he'd be moving to Canada.... so I'm clearning out my guest bedroom for you man.

Definitive proof that more than half of Americans are mentally retarded!

Saturday, October 30, 2004 Down With the Moral Majority- I Wanna be the Minority Here's the part where I apologize for not updating for a long time. I could make a lame excuse as to why I didn't have a chance to update- but I value your collective intelligences too much to do something like that. Lets just say my dog ate my update. Suprisingly the site seems to be getting more popular even though I haven't updated. I've been getting quite a few e-mails from people which I have absolutely no idea who they are. Which begs the question- who are you? Yeah you, reading this website- how the hell did you find it?! What the fuck did you have to google? Keep those e-mails, guestbook entries, and textbox posts rolling in... and who knows- I might update more than once every 4 months.
What I have personally been enjoying is the hate e-mails I've been getting regarding my 2 year old Linkin Park Rant. I have no idea where it was posted or how anyone found it- but I've received several hate mails from Linkin Park fans. Til this date I have yet to receive a single hate e-mail about my Nelly Rant- which leads me to believe that deep down even Nelly fans know how bad Nelly sucks. I didn't bother to reply to the hate mails I received and I see absolutely no reason to respond to them here- instead I've decided to post some of them up so you can read them for yourselves- and afterwards you can comment on them in the textbox. Keep in mind they were all probably written by 14 year old girls. Oh and by the way- the dude that wrote in my guestbook "censored" out his swear words himself- my guestbook doesn't censor posts- what kind of jackass censors his own post? Due to popular demand- here are some of the e-mails and guestbook entries I've received in a section I like to call: ATTACK OF THE LINKIN PARK FANS

From : Caryl **** <*********@hotmail.com> Sent : September 24, 2004 2:48:22 AM To : gchahal@hotmail.com I dont see how you could have Linkin Park and Baha Men in the same sentence. Obvessiously you have only heard one or two of linkin parks songs. i advise you listen to both My december and part of me. then hopfully after you listen to them you will remove the gaint stick from yours ass. you have a nutsack? i enjoy linkin parks music for the music and for the lyrics and in some cases the lyrics more. and im not going to be a "shy fuckface" . i love linkin park, and so does over 68000 others. and can name heaps of things that suck more then linkin park, for example, you(but thats a given) let me tell you the story of Linkin Parks name. it all started back in the day when they were called hybrid theroy. the original name hybrid theroy was an idea to define the type of music they were doing. but when they got sign with warner brothers they soon found out that there was bands out there with similar name so they had to change it. chester got the idea of naming then selves Lincoln Park, but when it came time to start up a website they soon found out that the site name was taken, so they changed the spelling "or you don't have that many friends you fucking loser". ummm, i think you are the loser here. because obviously you have no friends because you sit at home all day long on you computer talking to your little internet buddys. i bet even the internet girls turn you down, dont they? ummm, ok if you refering to the PTS.OF.ATHRTY video, then your a fucking "fuckface" and thats for 3 reasons; number 1-its not anime you piece of shit! number 2-it does have something to do with the song, but you have shit for brains and couldnt work it out. number 3- they didnt win an VMA for it. Now anit you a dickhead. the lyrics are shit?, again i suggest you go out and listen to a few of their songs. This constant apprehension. i think thats more then two syllables. and just i case you cant count, theirs 6 syllables. sorry to say this, but that had nothing to do with linkin park if you think about it(-but dont worry im not asking you to think cause i know that would be a challange for you) what does this kid have to do with your hate of LP? im sorry if i missed your point, wait a minute, im not sorry. i noticed on your contact page that you have some matrix stuff. why dont you go and watch the second one, then go to credits then have a look at what band did a song in it and let me just say before i go that i hope you die a very painful death and that you die alone.

Generally television blows- but lately I've been pleasanly suprised with a couple of really awesome segments. First, Jon Stewart from the Daily Show on Comedy Central, was a guest on CNN's debate show Crossfire. It was one of the most uncomfortably brilliant moments I've seen on television ever. Jon Stewart basically told the hosts of the show that they were hacks, and puppets for the politicians to push forward their agenda's. The hosts in an attempt to defend their show, attacked Jon Stewart's watered down questions he asked John Kerry on his show, where Stewart replied- "Are you guys comparing your show on CNN to a comedy show? If thats the case we're in big trouble guys..... The show that is before mine is puppets making crank phone calls! What is wrong with you people?!". Its fucking hilarious- even if you don't give a crap about American politics. Jon Stewart fucking rules! You can watch the video by clicking here: Jon Stewart on Crossfire Video Or you can read the interview by clicking here: Transcript from CNN Here is the video of Jon on his show discussing the aftermath of his CNN appearance: Aftermath (IFilm) Jon Stewart also appeared in a funny interview with CSPAN- click here to view: Jon Stewart on CSPAN
In other television news- I was over at Salman's house the other day with Kevin and Wing when I saw Saturday Night Live- and it was ACTUALLY funny! Not because any of the skits were particularly good- but because Ashlee Simpson's lip syncing fiasco was real comedy. I guess you have to have been under a rock to not have heard about this- but for those who haven't heard about it basically Ashlee "performed" her hit single Pieces of Me as her first song on SNL (which Kevin noticed that one of the guitar players picks was still on his guitar strings), and for her second song she was suppose to do some other song which is probably equally as crappy as her other song- but we were instead given a comedic treat. Whoever was suppose to queue the tape for the 2nd performance accidently played the first song again. So basically you got to hear the tape rolling- complete with vocals- while Ashlee looked dumbfounded and the band just stood there- until they decided they might as well start playing for real. Ashlee decided instead to awkwardly dance like a jackass before leaving the stage. Okay- I understand many artists lip sync their performances- even though Ashlee just months ago in a Lucky magazine article said that "Lip syncing is something I would never do- its just not me." But thats besides the point. At the end of the show Ashlee came back out on the stage and apologized blaming the problem on the fact that her band starting playing the same song. Okay- question... how fucking stupid would a band have to be for every one of them to start playing the wrong song? And even if they did start playing the wrong song- wouldn't they be able to stop and restart the right song? So yeah- it was a fucking lame move on Ashlee's part to blame the only 3 people on stage that have ACTUAL MUSIC TALENT. But I digress, I'm not outraged by this- I just thought it was funny. Ashlee Simpson had no talent and was ugly before this incident- and she still is now. Whats funny is she's trying to create this image that she is punk instead of a pop artist. When in actuality she's just as fabricated as Britney Spears or her sister Jessica. I mean seriously- I'm embarassed that I actually even know who Ashlee Simpson is.... its just because media conglomerates like Clear Channel and stations like MTV shove this shit down our throats and tell people this is whats popular. Seriously- we're like the generation of the pseudo-celebrities. Just look at the less talented less attractive sisters of current popstars..... Ashlee sucks and is ugly, ditto for Hilary Duff's sister, Beyonce's sister, Britney's sister... the list goes on and on. I hear Paris Hilton's sister's sex tapes aren't nearly as good. If you want to check out the video's of Ashlee Simpson on SNL click here: Lip Syncing Performance Blaming the Band (aftermath) Her dad on a radio station explaining the incident (mp3 format) Ever wonder what she really sounds like live? Caution- your ears might bleed! Ashlee real live performance
William Shatner has a new music cd entitled: Has Been... and suprisingly it doesn't completely suck. Yes I said Bill Shatner- aka Captain Kirk. The cd was produced by Ben Folds who is also featured on the album a few times as well as Henry Rollins, Aimee Mann, and Joe Jackson. The first single is a remake of the Pulp classic "Common People". For those unfamiliar with William Shatner's vocal stylings- he's a spoken word sorta guy- so basically he just reads out the lyrics.... just like that Sunscreen song that was really popular years back- except not fucking horrible like that song was. All the lyrics are written by Shatner himself with the exception of the Pulp cover, and the song "I'm still trying"- which was written by some dude that wrote some movie. But I'm not kidding- i got this album thinking it would be a good laugh- but I was suprised- not only was it a good laugh- some of the songs also were a decent listen. One thing is for sure- its not for everyone- but if you want to check out something a little different give it a shot. Some of the standout tracks are "I'm still trying" and "I'm Real". Will Shatner >> most of the new music you listen to bitches! You can check out the album by clicking here (quicktime needed) Speaking of music- the new Green Day cd American Idiot is fucking awesome- buy that shit!
Wally was cutting my hair last week and while he was cutting away I was watching some tv and I came across ABC's new hit show Desperate Housewives.... and all I have to say is wow- those Housewives are pretty damn desperate- no false advertising there. That spanish chick on the show is really hot, and Teri Hatcher is still looking good even though she's like 100 years old. I read somewhere that Playboy wants the cast of that show to appear in their magazine- sweetness.
