"NHL = LIBERAL SOCIALISM= NAZIS" - Discuss.

An article about Hayley Wickenheiser's efforts to convince the legendary Russian hockey great Vladislav Tretiak - now the president of that country's hockey federation - to do something to improve the state of women's hockey there has generated comments on the Globe and Mail's website.

They're not informed comments or even half-intelligent comments, or, for that matter, in some cases, even on-topic comments, but, hey, let's not let the perfect become the enemy of the good, right?

RG2 sees the whole idea as a waste and an imposition.

Yay! lets sink mor emoney into women's hockey. Lets force people to watch an unwatchable sport. Lets force girls to play a boys' game.

"Force people to watch"? Sweet Jesus on a hockey stick, we can't even force RG2 to read an 800-word article. And "force girls to play a boys' game"? Do you really want to go there, RG2? Strictly speaking, it's not a boys' game, but I think I could be easily persuaded to watch one in which you would stand naked in front of a net while a long line of my most feminist women friends voluntarily - eagerly, even - skate to the top of the faceoff circle and shoot pucks at your nuts.

And while RG2 was busy fulminating against the Russians, or the women, or Russian women or who-knows-what, really, another reader reminded us that it's bigger than just women's hockey: It's about the pro game, and politics, and...

It's really about The Holocaust.

I mean, obviously, right?

Canadian kids are now being brainwashed into idolizing these German Euro-Socialist wannabe dictators.




NHL = LIBERAL SOCIALISM= NAZIS


Lest we forget

I suppose I should feel a little bit sorry for the poor dumb fuck: when his paranoia spirals out of control and turns into the throbbing headaches that feel like a thousand Knebelwerfers firing inside his head, the stupid son of a bitch can't even take an "Asprin" without becoming complicit in one of the single largest hockey-related genocides of modern times.

The Maginot Line fails again.

A CBC story about the declining efficiency of laser-reflecting mirrors on the surface of the moon says that researchers believe the problem is caused by moon dust.

Commenter mtltechwriter has another theory: "the changing position of earth's magnetic core." And he blames inattention and those crafty Germans.

This has been happening almost unnoticed because most scientists were busy with other projects. The recent increase of teutonic activity at the earth's crust however, has shifted the earth's balance and therefore the moon appears to be moving away.

Well, achtung, Fritz: you might be able to pull the wool over Frenchie's eyes, but America's not going to stand for this. 

The Grandoise Plans Of The Nouveau Riche.

So a guy in Maryland is digging up the paperwork to pay the next installment on his truck insurance and finds a six-month-old lottery ticket he bought when he paid the previous installment on his truck insurance. Good news: the ticket's a $250,000 winner.

A feel-good story that makes everyone happy, right?

Sure, thought a commenter called "Sai Hundal".

Good for him, what a nice Christmas Gift. God works in mysterious ways.

Oh, great. That's just great. Here we effin' go. 

As Neil Armstrong once said, "That's one little, harmless expression of satisfaction for another person, one giant storm of argument about the existence (or not) of God." The next hundred and ninety comments included thirty-eight so inflammatory that they were deleted by the Good News Network's editors. 

A week later, after the latest skirmish in The Internet Crusades has died down, commenter "NYCBBEAN" spots the real villain in the story: the un-named lottery winner.

$250K - I wonder how much he thinks he's going to get after taxes etc? Seems like he has grandoise plans to me

It would appear that in addition to not knowing how to spell "grandiose," NYCBBEAN doesn't know what the word means:

"With his winnings, [the winner] said he plans to donate to a charity, help family, invest and take a vacation."

Maybe the gentleman from Maryland should consider hiring NYCBBEAN to bring a little sanity to his imminent spending spree.
