More People Are Going To Hell

I am unable to refresh CNN dot com without finding another article that showcases the expanding potential of people to be stupid. The latest is the involves the case of a kids show host in the UK on the BBC run CBeebies network with a "disability." The woman, Cerrie Burnell, is actually beautiful and charming like virtually all female television personalities (exception Ina Garten), she just happens to have been born without her right arm past the elbow. Twenty-five a$$holes have lodged "official" complaints with the BBC because her malformation is scaring their children. They are all offically going to hell.

Apparently she is also a hot topic on internet chat rooms as well. By the way, it must be a european thing because I thought chatrooms went the way of AOL and dial-up internet. Now that everyone you know is online there is no need to talk to strangers unless you are trying to hookup with swinger couples.

Whatever happened to the days when it was a requirement to have a token handicapped person on the shows. Like Sesame Street always had a kid in a wheelchair. Like those old school 70s wheelchairs that old people use in hospitals but no paraplegic actually uses. Since when did this backlash against minorities and underdogs. It used to be requisite to champion, defend, and showcase an image of acceptance and celebration. Now one real dickhead "lamented" in a chat room that the show "forced him to have conversations with his child about disabilities." Boohoo. What a loser. Your kids better grow up fast because life is a lot harder than that. Given the current economic meltdown, climate change, ecological disaster, and population explosion, your kids are going to be lucky if they aren't being spit on by Mandarin and Hindi speaking kids that studied harder while they mop up the bathroom at Panda Express.
