Some advice on raising children.

This little diatribe is focused solely around parents who forgo common sense and think that diligence isn’t anywhere near as important as neglecting to educate their kids on acceptable uses of the English language and certain slang that will make said shitheads the subject of rants on my blog.

FIRST…Don’t teach your child it’s okay to use the “C” word. Women get violent when they hear it. Friends of women get real mad as well, and write mean things about parents that think this is cool…or worse, they write about you and depict pictures of angry gorillas flipping you off (see below).

SECOND…If you find that your child has learned of this word, ground them for even knowing it….give them the knowledge that the “C-Bomb” is likely to land them on the receiving end of hell’s hot poker. It will save you time later when they don’t believe how serious you are about never using the word…again, ignoring this leads to an end result being you getting outed on the internet, likely with your foul-mouthed child.

THIRD…Most importantly…When you miss the golden opportunity to educate your child about the taboo of using this word, and they hear it from your kid and your kid was talking about their daughter, the Mom will get absolutely unimaginably scary HOLY CRAP THEY’RE GONNA CHOP SOMETHING OFF violent.

LASTLY…and if you’re the dumb jackass that actually laughed when you found out your son did this…

I am so gonna write about it…and if …on the off chance I run into you in public, I am really gonna run into you…like a great-big-gorilla-ain’t-gonna-let-you-get-past-him-run-into-you. I wouldn’t laugh ever again, grow a pair and take some responsibility for your child. Apologize to the mother, hell cook her family dinner and mow her damn lawn. Show some damn respect.

I mean COME THE F*(&^ ON! Who the hell thinks that kind of thing is funny coming from kids in elementary school?! You have to be some piece of effing work. Said parent is probably some asshat that never thinks they’ll get named or feel any sort of repercussions of an issue like this, so here’s my offer πŸ˜‰ Most people that read my rants know that while I am hardly an internet superstar, people that get named on this blog are inexorably written into the un-deletable and 100% forever searchable annals of the internet archives.

But hey, don’t mind me. I would be much more worried about the really badass Mom you totally pissed off by laughing when you were approached about the issue. The cool part, is I haven’t been told who this was about (yet). I think it would be soooo awesome of said father to apologize in a seriously grovelling manner before some investigative work gives me an identity to associate with this rant. πŸ˜‰

Someone might be wondering why the hell there are pictures of gorillas in this article. It’s because they are far better examples of good parenting than the *&%*&^ that thinks his son dropping the C-Bomb on a little girl in elementary was humorous.

…just sayin.

Apple becomes an Apphole

Here’s to Apple.

A wonderful company that continues to show innovation and a spark for the future.
A company that provides a concrete business model that doesn’t just encourage customer retention, it makes it mandatory.
A company that after screwing up and taking heat from the media, goes one step further and encourages police to actually break into a Gizmodo editor’s house with a search and seizure warrant in an effort to make sure nothing important was leeched off of the already returned iPhone 4.x.
…ladies and gentlemen, that would be a company that might not have my business for very long.

Straight from Gizmodo:

Police Seize Jason Chen’s Computers
Last Friday night, California’s Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team entered1 editor Jason Chen’s2 home without him present, seizing four computers and two servers. They did so using a warrant by Judge of Superior Court of San Mateo. According to Gaby Darbyshire, COO of Gawker Media LLC, the search warrant to remove these computers was invalid under section 1524(g) of the California Penal Code3.

Dude. Mr Jobs. You’re going to leak hardware. It happens. The guys had already given the hardware back too. But noooo, big bad Apple with a new set of balls gets to push a police button on the media. This is what I call retarded. Why? Because if any of us normal citizens tried to encourage the police to mobilize a TASK FORCE looking for dirt because the guy that returned the phone to you lawfully refused to tell you who he got it from?! Hellooooo. You got the phone back, you know who it belonged to. Punish the guy that lost the damn phone in a bar, not the editor of the tech blog that sensationalized your screw-up!

So yeah. Apphole, my next Gadget…will likely be a QUE now πŸ˜‰
