Stereotypes and Evil Coke

So on my Blogger log in page is an image of some italian guy on a couch in front of some speakers... I can't click it to watch him do his DeNiro/Sopranos/(Enter Mafia Sterotype) impression, but isn't it obvious that it's what he's going to do? I'm guessing the speakers are behind him because he's going to lip-sync it while doing facial expressions that Bobby-D has built his career on.

Speaking of stereotypes, I love it when people perpetuate them and then complain about it. That's why I always mention polygamy and secret meetings while talking about being Mormon, and then say people have no idea about our religion.

I could comment about how rap and dressing like a pimp is a debasement of blacks... but that's like shooting fish in a barrel (don't come after me Rev Sharpton!)

Back to the Mormon thing though, sometimes people are surprised when they find out I'm a member. It might be that I wait until an awkward moment (like when someone's saying the couldn't vote for Mitt because he's mormon) to come out and put them on the defensive. It may be a bit unfair of me, but they shouldn't assume I care about their political beliefs.

This is turning into one of those posts that I'm unsure of posting because it might offend someone...

So, one of the reasons I don't drink Coke is because deep down I have a suspicion that Coke and the Disney Channel (not all of Disney) are responsible for all of the worldliness that plagues us. I'll sum it up thus-ly: Coke invented Santa Claus (at least commercialized him and put him in a red suit) and began the de-Christification of X-mas (I really have no problem with Santa... just with Coke) and as for the Disney Channel... Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Justin Timberlake, Hannah Montana, High School Musical (which doesn't hold a candle to Xanadu, Terina) and many, many more.

There's some randomness for ya...

...and did I mention my son rocks?
