A couple of weeks ago, Max Blumenthal, cam-cordered a bunch of drunk American Jews/American-Israelis in Jerusalem.

The results are appalling and you can see them via YouTube here, I'd rather not embed that trash in my LJ.

It would appear that Blumenthal decided to look for a corrective experience.

And he did.



We are not the majority, but then again, neither are those drunken idiots.

The Middle of the Road has never been a safe place to be, yet in politics it seems to be a favourite.

I'll keep to the Left lane, thanks.

Holy shit... That first video... Not only are the drunken comments appalling, but that girl...(in one of the tamer comments—she probably wasn't drunk enough yet):
"I'm a political science major."
"So you know your shit?"
"I know my shit."
"Can you tell me who Benjamin Netanyahu is?"
"The prime minister? I don't know. I don't know who Benjamin Yahoo is."

*palmface* These people are not just drunk, but really truly ignorant, too.

Middle of the road politics always leads to head-on collisions. That only leads to ignorant head butting and arguing over who's at fault.

Which is why, like you, I coast along in the left-hand lane and roll my eyes over the accident that's left smoking in the center of the road.

I loved how the girl in the second video, when asked who Netanyahu was, burst into laughter and said "Benjamin Yahoo", referencing the previous video.
That was awesome.

*sigh* politics, peace-process - or as the Israeli accent likes to skew it "piss-process"
LOLZ.

I hadn't seen the first clip until now, and now I want to throw up. Going to watch the second clip now; I really hope it's going to be a corrective experience.

No, not really...

Aw, sorry about that.

Feeling less throw-up-y?

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
