Completely embarrassing but entertaining none the less.

Of course the George Allen debate debacle has made the rounds, and thrown everyone, myself included into a tizzy.

For the purpose of clarity however, the summery is that maybe racist politician George Allen, might be Jewish. Rumors fly, bloggers titter and then during a televised debate some poor woman has the misfortune of starting off her question this way:

“It has been reported your grandfather Felix, whom you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which point Jewish identity might have ended?”

Audience boos, Allen gets pissed and righty folk everywhere shake their head in sad resignation:

“You see, all this Israel bashing has consequences, blah, Anti-Semitism, blah”

I know because I was one of them.

But then people, who I assume are godless, Hitler-loving, jihadi, communist, college professor pedophiles start making the ‘net rounds saying that the question wasn’t only not racist, but was perfectly reasonable.

Game on.

So of course I, who not only has this blog to write for but also the soon to be launched Red-Alerts.com, and the am supposed to be preparing Lovecrafteffect.com and Spellandritual for Halloween launches, spend about two days vomiting out righteous indignation all over the cyber-gods creation.

Racist this, nazi that, you know, just taking an opportunity to get some “liberal” all red faced at being outted for the closet bigot he is. Long story short, in less time then it takes for DailyKos to delete an anti-Semitic rant, I’m in some sort of electronic argument on this site with someone whose handle is “Plunge”. “Plunge!”

So I’m busy calling everyone a racist, amused because throughout this whole episode I did everything but call these people “white devils”, and I realize I’m one of them.

You know what I mean; now I’m suddenly one of those people who get riled up at some event and clucks continuously about it on the Internet. When “Plunge” insulted me, I really got insulted, as if this really mattered.

I don’t even know where George Allen’s from, or what he’s running for!

Color me embarrassed.

All this acrimony, and not a damn thing to show for it. Luckily I got some sound political advise from someone with their head on straight:

Now back to the business at hand…

The ECW forum on Sci-Fi channels website has long been a place of strife and contention, until now.

There is now an era of peace descending on the boards, where wrestling fans and Sci-Fi devotees can live as one. It gives hope to all of us who long for a world free from pointless conflict.

The rest of us, however, call such displays what they are, unmanly. Call me old fashioned, but I don’t do apologies, I don’t make ‘em, and I don’t take ‘em, period.

If some guy sitting in his mothers basement, covered in Cheeto dust and collecting unemployment (via my goddamn tax dollars!) switches from his Russian teen “art nudes” to his second screen just to criticize some program I watch on T.V., the answer from me is “get a job, Percy”. I don’t get all flustered and try to get all my “friends” (whom I’ve never actually met) to stroke me.

And when that same bastard says “Hey man, sorry. We cool?” my response is “I’m cool, you’re a little bitch. And didn’t I tell you to get a job you shiftless loser?”

For that matter, if I’ve bothered to brush the Cheeto dust off myself to troll some board you won’t catch me apologizing for it later, no matter how few friends I have.

But that’s just me.

Internet ankle-biters got their wish when Barbi Blank was caned by the Sandman, but even after taking this insane bump her numerous cyber-detractors are still crying for her blood.

The Sci-Fi channel message board has an actual anti-Kelly thread filled with hateful invective. These “fans”, whose average age is around 32 as has been reported before, are unhappy with the performance of the 19 year old Barbie Blank, the actress who plays Kelly Kelly. The crux of their complaints, one discovers as they attempt to read through the ravings of almost middle-aged adolescents is that she’s not a particularly talented stripper.

You’ve read that correctly, the posters on the anti-Kelly thread are angry because a teenager can’t shake it like the coked-up high-school dropouts that work in the local titi … I mean “Gentlemen’s club.” Yes, there are several problems here.

1. She’s a teenager.
2. The people posting are not.
3. Barbie Blank can’t strip because she’s not a stripper.
4. The posters are unlikely to be qualified to judge Barbie’s stripping in any case.

It seems many on the post believe that the Kelly’s expose segments are a waste of time … yes the two minute segments are wasting their time. You know, because we E.C.W. fans and Sci-Fi viewers are such busy people with so much to do like watching wrestling, posting to message boards at 1:45 am, updating our blogs, etc.

Can Kelly dance? No, but so what? The ugly truth is that Kelly’s segments are as close to seeing stripping as most of the viewer’s who post on the Sci-Fi board will get. And frankly, as anyone whose been to a strip club will tell you, most strippers can’t dance per se, but they are hot. Stripping isn’t ballet, it’s about seeing some skin, handing over a dollar and going home alone. At least Kelly’s expose is free.

Besides, Barbie Blank doesn’t book the show. Calling her a “hoe” (I assume they mean ho) because they’d rather see some ‘rasslin’ is just childish. Or it would be childish if it wasn’t more likely than not coming from someone old enough to be her father, at that point it becomes unseemly.

Hey, I’m not a fan of her dancing either, but that doesn’t mean I’m not a fan. Those moments in a show that don’t work can be as entertaining as those that do. The Kelly segments, like them or not, are at this point the most memorable parts of the new E.C.W.

Besides, she’s just a kid, give her break.
