It's not bad enough that some dickweed Pastor from Bumblef**k, USA has to propose burning Qurans to get his 15-seconds of fame. It's not bad enough that every blogger and vlogger from one end of the religio-belief spectrum to the other has to dribble their opinions on the matter. It's not even bad enough that every Muslim, from some camel-humping mouth-foamer to some poor bastard raking a living in the dirt, starts burning Bibles in retaliation.
No. All that is to be expected in this shitpile called The World.
But what really hacks me off are the retarded copycats who can't keep their childishness on a leash; they have to go one better. Just like this tool.
In a nutshell, a smarmy, greasy lawyer (yeah I know that's a tautology) named Alex Stewart thought it'd be really funny to sit in front of a camera and smoke (what looks like) a joint made from pages torn out of a Bible and Quran. And post it on Youtube.
Firstly, Alex Stewart, anyone who videos themselves doing lame shit that they think is cool, and then posts it on Youtube, deserves to be buried alive. You insufferable narcissist.
Secondly, I'm an atheist. The whole religious thing can go straight to the birds. But at least I understand that the Bible and Quran are deeply meaningful to many people. And I don't mean terrorists and nutjobs, I mean decent people. Yet I'm baffled as to what Alex Stewart is trying to prove. What possible kind of statement is he trying to make by smoking sacred texts? Aside from "I am a cretin."
Thanks mate, for making everyone in Brisbane Atheists look like a bunch of wankers.
"They're just f**king books," Stewart bleats, and that it was all a joke. Then he hides behind "freedom of speech". Hogwash. The Danish cartoon controversy was an exercise in freedom of speech. Alex Stewart, what you did was crass and immature. You then have the gall to tell people to "get over it." Ok then, how about I go through your old family album, roll up some photos and smoke them? How about I roll an old photo of your grandma into a tight little wad and shove it up your ass?
Get over it.
I mean, take guys like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, intelligent men who've made careers of showing how silly religion is. But at least they do it with a modicum of rationality and poise. They don't go around behaving like some 15-year-old pissed to the eyeballs, dropping his dacks in public and screaming "WOO look at me!!"
Yeah, I can just picture it... Alex Stewart sitting in front of his PC late one night, having exhausted all the latest Britney videos, and thinks to himself: "F**k I'm bored. If a random Pastor from Florida can, like, do controversial shit, why not me? I know, I'll create a scandal by smoking the Bible and Quran on Youtube. HUR, HUR, HUR, HUR!!"
To make it worse, the university Stewart works for, QUT, has been tarred with the same shit-smeared brush. And now everyone, from sunny Queensland to the murky Dagobar system will think, "Ho, this Alex Stewart is a freakin retard. All the staff at QUT must similarly be retards. Ergo, all graduates from QUT must be retards too."
Thanks for nothing, f**tard.
Furthermore, now an army of young, impressionable pseudo-children called "uni students" will take one look at what someone in their midst has done, and immediately think, "Cool!" Because as we know, the adolescent brain cannot discriminate between rational, reasonable behaviour and being a drooling dickhead. That's why we need taxpayer-funded ad campaigns telling young people to not do things like drink themselves to death.
So all you kids watching, for godsake, take it from a grown-up: Alex Stewart is not cool. Alex Stewart is not funny or subversive or radical. Alex Stewart is a knob. Period.
Seriously, man, grow the f**k up.
ps. I just read that Stewart may well get the boot from QUT. Good one mate, that video was the biggest CLM since General McChrystal said, "Rolling Stone magazine? Cool, I'll go on record!" Jeezus.
