I am coming out of retirement to explain my outrage concerning outrage.

First... I am fine.

Ok. Now that you are all caught up on my life have a look at the following news from Great Britain: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1030798/Muslim-outrage-police-advert-featuring-cute-puppy-sitting-policemans-hat.html.

No.. really... click up there and read that or what I have to say here will mean really not much.

Thanks. Now I HOPE you are as nearly outraged as I am concerning this outrage.

I don't want to target specifically the muslims here, though if you are a muslim that takes offense at a puppy in a hat, please take this personally.

I am really sick of all the intolerance in this world. I really love pudding. I consider pudding one of the great things in this world. I imagine if I saw a picture of someone taking a piss into a pudding cup I'd be flabbergasted and generally wondering how anyone could dislike pudding so much as to piss in it. I wouldn't express moral outrage. I wouldn't demand the head of anyone who pissed in the perfect food. I wouldn't call for their death/removal from office/IRS investigation.

I was watching one of the network evening news shows the other night and they were interviewing the woman who made a bit of a misstep in Sudan. The whole story goes she allowed the CHILDREN in her class to name the teddy bear she used to teach English. They decided on Mohammad. Then the crowds wanted this woman killed. Er... ok. She's fine. She made it out alive, but there were videos of men running around the streets of Sudan waving machetes calling for her death.

What is this folks, the dark ages?

For those people out there that are outraged over everything, I have one small phrase that I think will help you get through life a little better.

Lighten the fuck up.

It's a fucking puppy in a hat. If you don't like puppies... don't own one. I don't like spiders, but I won't protest Spider Man movies.

I believe in God. I don't want to kill those who don't.

This is the goddamn 21st century. For those of you out there acting like it's still the 16th century... PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pull your collective heads out of your asses.
