Even Frankenstein is a douche!

Hello, and welcome to this installment of What Really Chaffs My Nuts.   I feel that there is something I need to say. There was an incident that occurred where Donald Trump hadn't responded to a comment/question that had been made at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire. The incident occurred when an anonymous man claimed that our nation's problem is Muslims, and that our current president is a Muslim, and not even an American. Then went on claim that there were terrorist training camps in the US, and asked "when we can get rid of them?".

 Now while Obama has fucked a lot of things up royally, he is not a Muslim (not that it would matter) and he is an American. Muslims themselves are not America's number one problem, they aren't. Radical Islamic Terrorists, mass shootings, the heroin epidemic, or the economy are problems that we face. It is not ALL MUSLIMS.  Just like not all French women are snobby creatures with hairy pits. Most of them are, but a few aren't.  (Just kidding) Just like not all middle aged white guys driving vans are creepy, stalking serial murders. Again, some are, but not all. Mimes however are bad people, all of them.  Moving on.

What Really Chaffs My Nuts is slut shaming and Halloween. Why slut shaming? Well, I think that it is a disgusting thing to do just because you don't like, or agree with what someone is wearing.  Halloween, because recently I heard someone say that "Halloween was supposed to be scary, so why are there so many slutty costumes".

Now let me make one thing clear, first off, when Halloween was scary we wouldn't have had fun.  It was first started by the Celts and it was the longest night of the year.  It was a time when one believed that the veil between the living world and the world of the dead was at it’s thinnest.  Also it was the end of the harvest time. If things didn't go well you could starve that winter. The other aspect of Halloween was that it combined was the Lemuria festival. That was a time when the Romans would perform rites to expel malevolent ghosts. The church had taken both of those holidays and blended them with Christianity to attract the pagan population. The point is that Halloween hasn't been fun for all that long. Hell, trick or treating had started off as being a barter system for offering prayers for souls in Purgatory. So if you want scary then let's try the fear of possibly starving that winter because your crop harvest failed, that is unless you ate your neighbor. On top of that let us pound it into your brain that a loved one is stuck in limbo, or better known as Purgatory. It's not quiet hell but it still hurts a lot. Then be convinced that only prayers, and a heavy donation to a corrupt church will set them free. Now here's a scary costume, knock yourself out.

Now the point of this presentation is that now that Halloween is fun, it is that one-day where we can be someone else, and it’s socially acceptable. I mean during that time we celebrate murder by dressing up as killers. Granted the ones we honor are fictional, but we do nonetheless. To top that off the ones we love are child killers. Seriously, who were Jason's victims? Teens. Who were Michael Myers victims? Adolescents. Who were Freddy's? Kids, dude. Freddy, Jason, and Michael are like John Wayne Gacy. They’re just like him if he had been an other worldly soul eater, or a psycho corpse, or a stab happy mentally disturbed mute.      

     

Halloween is the one day where celebrating that is ok, unlike any other day. If your co-worker who is the cubical next to you behaved that way every day at some point you'd call security, and carry mace when you walked to your car. So my question remains, why the hell do people care if a woman decides to go as a naughty nurse for Halloween?

 Why humiliate someone just because of your personal hang ups? 

Need a break to think about it? Regardless, here's 6 seconds of K pop. Enjoy. 

That clip wasn't very good, I know. Well here is the full song, Show+Time by Hwang Min-woo.  Play and listen for as long as you can before your head explodes. It's terrible, horrible, and kinda creepy. Enjoy. 

By the way, did you know that South Korea is blaring, among other things, K pop at the North Koreans due to their repeated threats of military action?  That's right. Can you imagine? I mean there is a lot of good K pop, but just like boy bands in the west, some of those groups are about as appealing as a high school lunch lady climaxing to organism. The only thing worse than that is Japanese death metal. That music reminds me of the sound someone’s stomach when they're suffering from food poisoning. 

And another thing, did you know that the Korean War has never officially been over. There is only a truce that has been keeping the two from annihilating each other and right now they are right on the verge of war. The only thing that is more hair triggered than that is the sexual tension between Donnie and Marie Osmond.  But I've gotten off track. Damn you ADHD! Alright, I'm back. Ritalin don't fail me now! 

So back to what I was talking about. Now I get the fact that many people feel that many of the Halloween costumes made for women are offensive, and objectify women. I get that, but at the same time, people are people. Not everyone has the same beliefs, and even if they do they don't express it exactly the same way.  Just because you have body issues, or you were rejected by a waitress or a stripper doesn't mean that someone who dresses more provocatively is a whore. By the way, waitresses and strippers are very nice to you because they have to be. Why? Because they need your money. See, beauty, style, or clothing doesn't cancel out intelligence, compassion, or a good sense of humor. So while I get that many people aren't a fan due to the idea of objectification, or the double standard of it being arousing only when it might benefit someone's selfishness, or whatever the problem is. Personal attacks on individuals, however,  are uncalled for. It is out of line, cruel, and just basically a sign of assholishness. Especially on the one day of the year where anyone can be somebody they normally wouldn't dare, or can't be in real life. Remember, Halloween is supposed to be fun. So please do us all a favor and hide your judgement. Please, just like your identity, keep your judgmental opinions, and bullshit under your costume. Anyway there is something much more important to be concerned about; something much worse. That is the ADULT TRICK R' TREATERS. Grown ups in costume going around to stranger's homes begging for candy, like that isn't creepy. Just think about that for a sec. And with that I will leave you. 

Until the next rash,
