Fun polls
 
Just to get away from the socks mania, a poll:

Exactly what do you think this guy was doing with the pit bull?

-----------------------

""The dog is a brown, pit bull-boxer mix, is what it looks like," Arbogast said. "The guy was found missing his genitals. We don't know who he is or where he lives."

Neighbors saw the man playing with the dog earlier in the day near Susie Rayos Marmon Elementary School, 6401 Iliff Road N.W., Arbogast said.

About 1:20 p.m. Monday, police were called to the scene when workers from a mowing service found the man unconscious, naked and bleeding on a yard near the school, he said."

I want it known that I did not invent this.

Bad: Walking in on your own brother having sex.

Worse: The sex is, to all outward appearances, non-consensual.

Worst: The survivor of the assault is of the porcine persuasion.

Poll: Would you turn in your own flesh and blood if you caught them doing this?

My answer: No. Some things are still better resolved with fistfights and being locked in the attic until you die of old age.

An original artist is unable to copy. So he has only to copy in order to be original.

I disagree on the worst - I'd rather rape be committed against animals than people, myself. Besides, it's not the worst thing porky will ever have happen to him, since porky is ultimately going to have his throat slit so he can bleed out and then have his remains hacked apart and fried up. Bad shit happens to you when you're a pig.

But turn in my own flesh and blood so they can get a little $2,000 reward - hell no, I'd send in their name to Donahue instead, with pictures.

Interesting article on the pleasure of revenge. I post it mainly because I was amused by the sections in bold:

Quote:

"Using positron emission tomography (PET) scans, the researchers saw that as players came to a decision to punish greedy partners, the striatum, a part of the brain involved in processing rewards, was activated.

That part of the brain - located a short distance behind the bridge of the nose - is involved in reward processing. It is activated, for example, when a person is in love and sees a photograph of his beloved, when someone thinks he will soon be paid money, or when someone takes cocaine*, said Dr. Ernst Fehr, an economist and co-author of the study.
* Aka the hookers 'n blow effect.

Maybe so, but you have to agree it was all but inevitable, and the PB crew is particularly culpable.

Anyone know what Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pig Bacon tastes like?*

It is my recollection from a legal history class that bestiality was initially prosecuted based on the belief that monsters would be spawned from this most unholy of unions. In the case of one colonial pigfucker, the piglets' resemblance to the defendant was introduced as evidence. The pigfucker was found guilty and was put to death, as were the sow and the piglets.

I wonder if they had a barbeque afterwards.
