A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell
When Peter Jackson made his travesty that was King Kong, he had to make the natives of Kong's island inhuman, because showing black people in a tribal setting is racist. That's why we don't see Johnny Weismuller movies any more, either.
So how does the Discovery Channel get away with this?
